[attentionwenches]

If you don't mind my asking, how is it maintained? Is it magic?

[perfectorder]

No. It is maintained by my soul.

[attentionwenches]

...soul-powered magic? In my world, such a thing was considered very dangerous. One risked damage to it, or even loss. I was advised never to attempt it.

[perfectorder]

It's not really "magic" per se as the actual power and strength of one's soul—like a natural ability or extension of yourself. What is protecting Death City is not some mechanism powered by my soul—it is my soul. I've expanded it so that the wavelength acts as a shield that basically cancels out the Madness wavelength thus prevents it from entering.

However, it is possible for one's soul to be damaged or become corrupted, but in this instance there's very little risk of that. Nothing can damage the barrier directly except for another soul capable of canceling mine out.

[attentionwenches]

...I believe I follow you, yes. This "soul expansion" is an impressive ability indeed.

Can it be learned? Are there applications for it that someone like me could put to use?

[perfectorder]

That...I am not sure, actually. I can't say for certain, but one with a particular strong soul and ability may be able to, but for the common everyday person...it would take quite a while to get to this level.

[attentionwenches]

It is fortunate, then, that I am neither common nor everyday. How long?

[perfectorder]

[curious by what he means by that, but Kid has his doubts. no offense or anything.]

It could take weeks, months even. Then there's the question of the type of soul...

[attentionwenches]

Ah, yes. That is what I am here for. I would know what I as a Meister am capable of, and how I might use my abilities.

[These other techniques can wait. He has to master the basics first. But as long as his magic's gone, Loki's going to see just how creative he can get with the abilities he's been given in this world.]

You can help me, can you not?

[perfectorder]

Er, yes of course. [had also gotten distracted.]

I'll use my Soul Perception to examine your soul. It will only take a moment.

[attentionwenches]

Very well.

[He will stand there, arms helpfully down at his sides to expose his chest, and wait.]

[perfectorder]

[and activating his Soul Perception. hm...as usual, an interesting type of soul. not what he expected, really. but he's not here to judge his personality. time to focus on that meister ability.]

—Soul Cloak. You can utilize shadows to travel without being seen, though only for a short period of time.

[attentionwenches]

[Loki's eyes widen. That sounds -- pretty cool, actually. It's more advanced than anything he did at home.]

...really? That's astounding! I have the ability to do that?

Tell me how! How do I use it?

[perfectorder]

Yes, you do.

As for using it, I can only give you the general idea of how to use a meister ability. It may take a bit of experimenting and practice on your part for your particular skill.

But I would suggest finding an area with a lot of shadows, standing on one, and then concentrate on your soul. You should feel something within you. Then try focusing on becoming part of the shadow and moving around.

[attentionwenches]

[That doesn't sound like how magic works, not at all. This...might be tricky.]

That sounds simple enough.

[At least he can practice it on his own, at his own pace. No more getting up this early to come out to freezing training grounds.]

Thank you for your assistance.

[perfectorder]

[it's a little similar, but yes, quite different.]

Your welcome.

[attentionwenches]

[Now that he knows all this, Loki is headed home. He's going back to sleep until noon, and then practice this new ability.

He gives Death the Kid a low bow, as befits the ruler and protector of the city, before he turns to go.]
