It would be very hard to control.

[ That's his experience. He knows how wild runes can act when they're in a mood. He considers the information Viktor is sharing with him, though. It's quite a lot. The man has put in a lot of footwork gathering information, and Jayce certainly appreciates the head start that it has given them when working together. Truly, there's nothing but admiration that he feels when he hears Viktor speak.

Jayce, renowned for being a genius, feels like he's basking in Viktor's brilliance so often. And he enjoys it. He enjoys the way that they push each other to maximize their skills. He knows, now more than ever, the loneliness he feels when Viktor's not at his side. He doesn't have anyone else in his life that can keep up with him the way that Viktor does. ]


The corruption is concerning, even when stable.

[ He takes the cup, watching as Viktor moves. He has to finish that brace. Just a few more pieces he has to sort. ]

That's a sound hypothesis. She may not have needed to even do anything intentionally. Simply the act of her using her magic to fix it may have been enough. Like just because the piece fits doesn't mean it's part of the right puzzle.

[ He finally takes a sip of the tea, thinking on the last bit. ]

I'm learning that a lot of this place seems to be built on wishes. [ Which is a dangerous thought. And considering he knows what he wished for...is right here in front of him. ] It seems to be like runes and magic and mages. But, presumably at home - there's limits to it. Mage ability, rune combinations, things like that. So if the crystals can make wishes and whims happen for people without magic, then it may be more complex.

[ And therefore, more interesting to them both. ]

I would assume that means it can learn, too.

[ Whether he likes that concept or not anymore, it's hard to say. His expression doesn't suggest any distress at the thought, at least. He'll have to think about it more to decide. ]
