Chapter 457: Stones

These stones were barely the size of a pebble but seemed to glow with an eerie pale light. "These small stones are the congealed magical energy taken from a certain star that shines from the sky at night. What they can do though is the really interesting part however as each one of these things can be used to empower the effects of a single piece of magic be it potion , spell , enchantment or alchemy permanently. The catch however is that the stone is gone after a single use and getting more is a pain in the neck like you wouldn't believe." Nick said with a smirk.-

"How difficult could it be if it is from a star that shines every night?" Lupin asked confused. "So as is common knowledge the world spins on it's axis and rotates around the sun. But relatively speaking the stars don't move from their positions with the earth in this orbit and some actually only shine dimly if at all during very specific times of the year. These stones come from one such star and thus are a HUGE pain to get. This is obviously not my entire stock of the stuff but very precious none the less." Nick explained honestly.-

Plus if the whole space looping thing worked out then the abomination should starve to death even without their assistance if given enough time. Even if it didn't work so well Nick still had options to get rid of it if he threw caution to the wind. The one he mentioned was one of them but he could always stuff the abomination with enough magic for it to detonate in a grand explosion that will probably cause international issues between the muggles. That doesn't even begin to cover the effects that such a vast amount of magic being unleashed in an area would do to it.-

Not even Nick knew the answer to that question as there was no recorded instance of such a thing happening that he knew of. Still once he got back to the workshop Nick meditated while pondering a mythical item to create. 'I wonder if that would even work?' he thought as he had an idea. Standing up he grabbed an ingot of mithril and turned on the furnace and waited for it to warm up before switching the flame to purgatory flames and tossing the mithril in.-

Once the ingot was melted into an eerie white puddle Nick transferred it to a wide flat mold so that he could let it cool into a thin sheet of metal. "Are you sure you want to do this? It may have far reaching complications if you do?" Celebrimbor asked worriedly. Nick nodded "If it works it might give me another ace up my sleeve." Nick said honestly. "That's if it works at all , you might instead only create a cruel item of the darkest sort." Celebrimbor warned seriously. "It's a gamble but one with a very high pay out if it works as intended." Nick said with a smirk.
