Wil, Nasir and Shun had done what they said. After research, nachos and planning they'd gone out for materials the next day. Various woods (with identification via phone and book to make sure) and then crystals and stones were scavenged from shops or otherwise. Amazon Prime was pretty great in that some things could be shipped straight to their door next-day.

The young men gathered in other ashdown now, a safer bet than anyone's house, with their various materials. Bud was currently inside of a box of crystals, biting on them (what if they weren't real), and making attempts to abscond with several while each time he was robbed of his prize and plopped back into the box.

"So we start small right?" Wil had a stone in his hand that he'd been idly binding with metal wire in an appealing pattern. The metals had also been thought through.

Players must roll 1d10 in each post where they attempt to create their attuned item. The d10 determines the success or failure of their attempt. Four successes are required to create the item; each post must be filled out.

roll results
1-- A success! Your item has taken a little of your desired trait into itself.
2-- A failure. You have blown up one of your less expensive reagents and caused yourself minor damage.
3-- A failure. Your item has proven resistant to one of your reagents; you will need more power or more reagent to make it work.
4-- A success! Your item has taken a little more of your desired trait into itself.
5-- A failure. Your item has cracked, and must be repaired.
6-- A failure. You have blown up one of your most expensive reagents and done yourself moderate damage. The reagent must be replaced.
7-- A success! Your item has taken a little more of your desired trait into itself.
8-- A failure. You pushed too hard, and the item rejected your attempt to imbue it with its traits.
9-- A success! Your item has taken a little more of your desired trait into itself.
10-- A failure. You didn't push hard enough, and have given yourself a headache.

"Yes, starting small. Figure out what works, then move our way up."

Shun looked over their array of materials, before taking a bit of ash wood, and several small gems. With a tilt of his head, he held them together, trying to see if he could fuse them into one another with a bit of focus.

But perhaps he had used a little too much focus. A sort of snapping noise could be heard.

Looking down, he saw a large crack in the wood.

Nasir made a hum of agreement. Starting small was for the best, it was why he was working with a simple piece of wood that he had laid out in front of him with stones next to it.

Trouble was rooting around in the boxes, though mostly he was interested in chasing after Bud. Thankfully the familiar was behaving whenever he got a look from Nasir.

Letting out a breath, Nasir reached his magic. He reached and he pushed it forward and-

The stones hummed, like they were vibrating with energy and then stopped.

A sigh. "... guess I need to pull it back a little."

Wil had taken one of the larger pieces of quartz and bound it copper wire. Copper was a conductor in almost all applications, magical or otherwise, and seemed a natural addition.

The blonde watched the other two before turning to his own small construct and putting his hands on it. He concentrated his magic but with little control it began to quickly vibrate in his hands. Even after he pulled away it continued until the quartz shattered.

"Ah!" Wil wasn't unscathed, his hands smattered with chunks of rock and wire. He hissed, and fell back a step, blood dotting his palms. "I um.. I think it was too much.. crap."

He was fine, just a bit battered, and he probably needed a cloth or something to dab at the wounds.

Shun eyed Wil's hand as he had managed to shatter the chunk of quartz.

"... You may wish to rinse off your hands right now."

Quartz shrapnel in the palm did not sound particularly pleasant. So far none of them had a whole lot of luck with this yet. Furrowing his brow, he removed his eyepatch for the time being as he grabbed a small bit of amethyst and another piece of wood.

He had begun to focus, but stopped as a headache began to build up.

"There has to be a better way of going about this."

Nasir was focused, even as Shun worked and Wil's quartz exploded. He had continued to work with what he had in mind, kind of going into a zen zone of using his magic. Pull it back, don't push too much and-

The stone and the wood seemed to merge together to form a flat side. The stone looked as if it was part of the wood naturally, it was kind of weird.

"Uh, I think I did it- s**t," Nasir never swore for the most part, "Wil ..." He was moving towards the blonde, a bottle of water and some cloth in hand. "Let me help clean that up." Which he would before he'd let Wil try anything again.

[1/4 success]

Wil was grimacing as he picked bits out of his hands. By the time Nasir was there with water and bandage he was mostly just a little bloody and frustrated. They stung pretty bad but for the most part he'd be fine with some scabs.

"Thanks.." His boyfriend was given a smile as his hands were wrapped up. He felt like someone in a movie who walked around for the remainder with a ripped t-shirt around their palm. "We'll take care of it better at home but I think I'm okay.."

This time he selected one of the small crystals, used less wire, and grounded it in wood. He tried to not put his hands close, instead just concentrating his mind.

The quartz pulsed and glowed, sinking to embed itself in the wood, the wire curling and embedding too, much like a jewelry setting, and by the time it was finished it was stable and fully merged and charged.

"Ha!" He picked it up and waved it in triumph, "Got it!"

[PASS - 2/4 successes]

They were finally making some headway. While Nasir tended to Wil's hand, Shun nodded to them both, and continued to work on his side. If they could do it, he could to.

He could feel the two materials fuse together as he worked the magic. After a few more moments, his piece of the box was complete.

"Keep it up," he nodded.

[3/4 success]

"When we get home," Nasir repeated and meant it. Once he was satisfied that Wil's hand was taken care of and his boyfriend had made his own, he went back to his own little work corner.

He picked up another piece, stone wrapped with wire and wood, and tried to channel it. What he was not expecting was it to superheat as he focused on the magic and he dropped it with a hiss. Then a sharp intake of breath as it continued to heat and then turned into a mini-explosion.

The young man didn't say anything, nothing more than a sharp breath, but he was delicately trying to pull a piece of wood from his hand.

Wil was to Nasir's side this time, making faces and hovering and also quick with the water bottle and something to cover his boyfriend's wound with.

"Magical war wounds.." He blinked, fussing a bit, "But scars are hot right?"

He didn't work again until he was sure the other was okay but unfortunately he wasn't focused and the piece of wood in front of him simply split around the stone.

"Dammit!"

Shun raised his brow at the 'scars are hot' comment. Shaking his head to himself, he redoubled his efforts to completing another section of their focus. They had gotten some progress and were almost done with the prototype.

That said, his efforts may have been a little too much. As he tried to force his will upon the materials, it just seemed to bounce right off.

Nasir just gave Wil a look. "Not really sure if scars are hot ..." He still was a little uncomfortable with the ones on his shoulder and he winced as his boyfriend helped him clean up. Making sure it was wrapped, he was taking a moment to refocus before he tried again.

This time, he wrapped the wire more delicately, setting the stones to the wood and cradling it in his hands as he channeled his magic into it. It happened slowly this time, Nasir watching with wide eyes as the wood took shape into another one of the sides.

The stones shifted to the four corners of the wood, the wire sinking into it and connecting each piece like it was some kind of inlay. It was, honestly, very pretty.

"I think I got it," he said, smiling as he set it down. "So maybe we all got the hang of this and can try something bigger?"

That was the next step, right? Just hopefully there wouldn't be as much ow.

[4/4 successes!]
