Greetings fellow dreamwalkers,

My name is G'raha Tia and I have recently arrived here. [In a dream world? Close enough.] Having spent some time learning the lay of the land and what Reverein has to offer, I have noticed the lack of aetherytes in the area. I am well aware that this is not at all the same world that I am familiar with, but I would like to provide my assistance in making life here a little bit easier if it is possible.

Where I come from, we have crystals that act as a means for teleportation and faster travel.

[They also take more aether than most can afford to use actively, but that wasn't important here. Taking a moment to try to imprint what they generally look like, this image will pop up for people to reference from.]

Normally in order to use these, you need to attune to them with your aether, though I doubt the same will work here. Once attuned to them, you'll be able to use them as a means to travel around the town.

I confess that I am not used to having downtime, so it is my proposition that I can spend my newly found free time to aid any other people who come here as well. I have recently found out that my dreamotion is crystal based and though I have not experimented enough with it just yet, I believe I may be able to recreate these aetherytes. There will be some trial and error and I cannot say how long it will take, but in order for these to work properly here, I imagine I will have to experiment with using dreamotion as a substitute for aether.

[And this has gotten a lot more technical than he had intended so...]

That said... I wanted to ask for any information people may have that may assist me in my research to make this a reality soon enough. I do not know enough about Reverein just yet to make any large strides presently.

Thank you for your time.

[OOC: G'raha is from the end of Shadowbringers, so there will be spoilers more than likely in comments and possibly icons. Please see my opt-out post if you are currently going through the story and would prefer not to be spoiled. This will allow me to know just how much I can share. Please and thank you!]

[ Teleportals. He's describing teleportals. ]

Your logic is sound. I can confirm that substituting aether with dreamotion is a good avenue to explore. I normally have access to an energy source known as aeion, which I seemingly lost upon arrival. But I've since learned that I can substitute it with dreamotion, and achieve similar effects. I'm still learning more about this, so take my words lightly.

[ It figures that she's drawn to the more technical aspect of this entry. ]

[crystalized_hope]

If you are able to substitute this aeion with dreamotion, the same should be theoretically possible with aether. Even so, I suppose we are still learning about what kind of place Reverein is. The more time spent here, the more answers will yield to us.

[supermetroid]

I've only recreated one ability so far, so my knowledge is limited. It also doesn't function like it used to, and I haven't determined whether that's due to a bias on my part, or due to the energy source being different. Like you said however, given enough time, I can figure it out.

Having said that, I would like to assist with your project. In my travels, I've encountered something similar to what you've described, although they're not crystal based. Logs referred to them as teleportals, and they seemed to work on a planet-wide closed network.

I can only assume that using dreamotion to create something similar to that would certainly give us more insight into what the limits of dreamotion are.

[ Samus can get wordy when she wants to be. ]

[crystalized_hope]

I do find it intriguing that there are so many viable ways for fast travel amongst each of our individual worlds. It would certainly be a good way to gauge dreamotion potency as well. An intriguing field of study for sure.

[supermetroid]

Do you have any preliminary thoughts in regards to what could be possible through dreamotion?

[ She's curious. This is the most technical conversation she's had about dreamotion so far. ]

[crystalized_hope]

As of right now, I only have a base understanding of dreamotion. Anything I'd have to share would be mere conjecture.

My assumption leads me to believe anything is more than likely possible, considering the different kinds of dreamotion that varies with those who weild it.

Mine has a close attachment to crystals, which seems fitting considering my role back home. For my own fumbling, I'm sure there are plenty of people here who only have a base understanding of it so far. Given enough time, who knows what the possibilities could lead to.
