Chapter 384: Flame atronach experiments

With proof of concept now established Nick now set out to create as many atronachs as he could. The first atronach type he focused on was the fire atronachs because he had a theory about them that he wanted to verify. The process to creating them was similar to the way the air atronach was created however Nick didn't add any metal to the forge. What he ended up with was weaker than normal constructs that looked like women without faces made out of fire and burnt metal. In truth their was no metal on the creatures at all as it was simply crystalized mana like with the air atronach.-

'In theory I can feed a fire seed to these atronachs in order to change their powers and appearance.' Nick thought as he took a deep breath before breathing out a thick plume of azure flames at the atronach. To his surprise this created a strange chiming sound from the construct and to his magical senses the atronach was undergoing a fundamental shift. Even after he stopped releasing his flames on the atronach the changes continued and he watched in interest as the body of the atronach began to change. The biggest shift was clearly that the coloration of the construct was now azure and dark blue.-The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The final atronach was fed a seed of conjunction flame and things got weird as a result. Nick watched as the atronach violently transformed. First the legs , head and arms sank into the torso of the construct. Then the torso ballooned until Nick was looking at a perfectly round orb of glowing grey flame crystals. Even weirder was that the atronach seemed to warp space slightly just by existing. Nick set this new conjunction atronach as the center piece of the manors reception area as it was a marvel to look at but didn't seem suited for combat at all.-

Nick had to call it a day there with his creation of atronachs as the ambient mana was getting rather thin. The rest of the day he practiced his mana control in order to regain the control he lost from the sudden increase in power. His wand had already adjusted to this new level of power so it didn't have any issue with his training. Thankfully Nicks control hadn't been truly lost so much as dulled by the increase in power.-

All he needed to get back to where he was previously as a bit of sharpening. Nick had Dotty cook up a meal for him while he relaxed in the bath room. It might be rather wasteful that the bath was almost the size of a swimming pool but it was pleasant none the less. The hot mineral waters of the bath did wonders for getting rid of stubborn dirt and dead skin after a short soak. Thanks to Daphnes hair care routine my now shoulder length grey hair was smooth and shiny like silver. I tended to keep it braided behind my ears in a traditional eleven manner that Celebrimbor showed me.
