One
of the things that a wizard learns to cope with is regret, we all
live long lives, far too long, and make many many bad decisions.
What if I hadn't mixed those ingredients? What if I had gone to a
different school of magic? What if I could have saved her? …
ANYWAY. Where was I? Long lives, consequences... Oh yes, this leaves
you with a lot of what if questions that keep you up at night. One
night, after a particularly dangerous day in the nether roads, and a
even more dangerous run in with a bottle of eon aged Elder Fire Wine
I started development on a new experiment. One which I could never
tell the guild about. I created my first crystalis with the help of a
Helaq the fracture smith (a brilliant shardmind that I had met on one
of my travels, and brought in to work on my more secretive projects).
This first crystalis was the first of its kind, so let me explain
what It is, a crystalis is a pocket universe that is housed within a
crystal containment chamber, Thats right, I, KEVICE DUSKSTRIDER,
tower warden of the Dhu-at
Spire, created a universe and recreated life. I'm not saying that I
am on par with the gods, but there are like 40 of them that gathered
together and made reality and only one of me who has made (at current
count) 6892 different universes. No big. This is not something that
the College of Magics would smile on, either in Kragrock Spire or
Eula, they think no man should have the power over an infinite
universe. Wusses. No wizard tells Kevice what to do, just like how no
neanderthal with a sword, or some slimy snake with a crossbow has any
right to tell any wizard what to do. Its like a mouse telling a cat
how to act, only the cat exists in every dimension, can summon fire,
and could unravel the very fibers of the mouse, erasing it from
existence with its UNHOLY KITTY MIND. I may have hit the Elder Wine
again... I wish Helaq was still here, there was a crystaline
intelligence bound to flawless carbon enforced rubyglass who knew how
to drink!... I really wish that he hadn't been shattered by that
wretched demon in the armory... Maybe I should make another
crystalis...
I've
digressed, each of these crystalis-es-es have a minature recreation
of our universe, with only one or two minor changes made, it is a
comfort to me to know that somewhere there is a Kevice who made all
the right decisions. I have studied these worlds, and have taken
copious notes on them. Just in case I ever get the ultimate powers
and just decide to recreate all reality in my image... You know, Just
'cuz.
I
just hope that nothing ever happens to me, without perfect conditions
that I maintain these worlds would be destroyed, and infinite lives
would be snuffed out in a flash. I ALSO hope that I am in fact not in
a crystalis of ANOTHER Kevice who had the same idea that I had...
Thats far too cerebral for even my MAGNIFICENT WIZARD BRAIN to
comprehend, I'm sure that it just melted your poor mind, my apologies
to whomever has to clean that up.
