I have two inquiries to those who are familiar with magic.

RE: SEALING MAGIC
I'd like to know if anyone knows a way to cast some kind of sealing or restraining magic on an accessory or item that could be used to suppress one's own magic or curse. If need a more specific situation, an emergency case where one's powers are running out of control and needs to be contained. The ideal goal would be that it could affect nightmare energy, but that might be more difficult without further knowledge.

[He is definitely asking for specific reasons, but good thing there have been several occasions where things went wildly out of control last month that it won't seem too random.]


RE: TELEPORTATION MAGIC
Similarly, I wish to create some kind of portal that would allow me to easily traverse between my home and other locations that I currently own with potential to add on in the future. [Because it's about time he just accepts he owns these dogs and getting to the Corgi Tree and the Flowers home more instantaneously would be ideal. Though already future proofing? What could he be considering...] Ideally it would be a door with a function to change the location.

This might be a complicated request, if it's even possible, but even just information on how it might work will be appreciated.

[He'll get his portal door one way or another—]

Thank you.

None that I'm aware of save for the power dissipating if the limiter itself is broken. But that also means that simply removing or destroying the limiter would allow for immediate access to the magic it was limiting should the need arise.

[flamekthunder]

How complicated is it to make it?

[burnttoashes]

The construction itself is simple enough. I would just need an exposure to the power it will be meant to be limiting in order to be able to create the nullifying arte.

[flamekthunder]

Even in this world? Would you be using dreamotion?

[Just being thorough in his investigation.]

[burnttoashes]

To augment my own mirristry, yes. It seems the wise choice given both that my abilities are weaker here than in my world and the fact that it is native to this place. It would likely be more effective than relying on mirristry alone, but the concept is the same as an anti-mirrage bracelet or a protective mirrage.

[flamekthunder]

Are "mirristry" and "mirrage" what you call the type of magic in your own world?

[burnttoashes]

"Mirristry," yes. A mirrage is the catalyst that a mirrist uses to cast and focus their artes.

In the case of my colleague, what he has is a protective mirrage to suppress his own powers when he uses his artes.

[Heeeeee's just... not going to get into the whole history of anti-mirrage bracelets here.]

[flamekthunder]

[He's getting a better idea, but now a new concern comes to him.]

If this limiter is created with your mirristry, would anyone else be able to replicate it should you no longer be around?

[burnttoashes]

[... a valid concern indeed.]

I suppose that would depend on how reliant it is on my mirristry versus dreamotion. Theoretically I could make multiple limiters, but it would take me time to do so.

[flamekthunder]

That's what I was afraid of. Ideally it would be based more on dreamotion and then the technique you use could be replicated in some way by other magic or some other alternative if needed.

[burnttoashes]

Assuming that dreamotion could create a suitable nullifying power, it might be possible to utilize that for the majority of it, yes. Any type of magic should work as long as it can create a signature that would be the opposite of the power that's going to be suppressed. It needn't be limited to mirristry-- that's just the only kind of non-dreamotion magic I'm capable of using.

[flamekthunder]

It would still be better to take advantage of what can be done regardless, so I still won't refuse your offer.

How durable would the limiter be?

[burnttoashes]

That would depend on what sort of form the wearer desires. A necklace or bracelet are common forms for such things.

I would make it as durable as possible, but it would be subject to the physical limitations of its form.

[flamekthunder]

I can have those interested contact you, but would it be possible for you to make one regardless to test and have on hand? I'd also be curious how effective it could be against nightmare energy.

[Particularly if it's using a lot of dreamotion as part of it.]

[burnttoashes]

Certainly. The construction itself is simple enough. I can make more than one in different forms as examples if you would prefer, though that will take me somewhat longer. Once made, they would be ready to test at any point.

[flamekthunder]

If you don't mind, then it would be appreciated. Even if it would take more time, if it could be utilized then it will be worth it.

[burnttoashes]

I would be a fool to turn down a practical opportunity to test the effects of combining mirristry and dreamotion. This will be a learning experience on my end as well.

[flamekthunder]

Then I'll leave it to you and check in at a later time. If you need anything, let me know.

[burnttoashes]

I will. I'll be waiting to hear from you.
