"A pocket wouldn't even nesscarily be required! Creating a small box that is difficult to scan can be done in any number of different ways, and would serve adequately, I expect? It's likely feasible to simply plant it deep in the planet itself or some such, making it harder to detect by distance and geomantic interuptions, rather then any sort of sophisticated defense. Certainly, that seems like the most readily available of your options." 

"That would certainly be easier to defend, though it could make recharging somewhat inconvenient. No recharging without a full disengagement and returning to wherever I've sealed this box."

"Perhaps with some additional technology we could make a portal from the ring to the box, and thereby regain the ability to charge on the go?"

"That sounds like a warded pocket with extra steps."

"Likely! Do note that that form of energy is one I'm unfamiliar with and one that few will have any immediate use for, and that stealing it from your ring's reserve is likely to excite your ire. If you are keeping yourself reasonably topped up, then it'll be difficult to simply barge past you, take the item and say seyanora, after all!" 

"Concentration locked powers exist, but it is relatively rare amongst standard-issue metas, that's true. It might make sense to create you something, even if the potency of such an item wouldn't be too high." 

She hums and nods. "Good points on both counts. Maybe set the ring to warn at a higher threshold than ten percent when not in the middle of a battle or something delicate unless the drain is precipitous, like forty or fifty? And that'll do until either we can make a secure base or recruit a mage?"

She shakes her head and laughs. "I'm getting sidetracked, and we've probably still got testing to do! Don't want to soak your time up on non-testing things without asking first."

"We do!" 

"Let's see..." 

"Centuria has adequate enough data on your flight, I think? Superluminal speeds are rarely too relevant, as well. The main remaining subject would be scanning, transmuting, 'empathic and esosteric abilities'. I expect sending a scan off to the computer would be simple enough for you, but the rest require further explanation!"

"Those, right," she replies with a nod. "Transmutation is basically matter manipulation, and that's mostly my just speculating from capabilities I've seen some documentation of. The last two... All seven colors of the Glow allow a skilled wielder some empathic abilities. The most common that I'm aware of is being able to observe the relevant emotion in people, such as seeing the Heart's True Desire for Violet.

"First though," she she looks at her ring. "Ring, please describe your available transmutation capabilities, and the limits and requirements thereof?"

[Transmutation requires adequate charge and love, filament contact and an adequate model of the molecular structure and energies and generation methods thereof involved in the matter to generate. Materials with self-reactive precursors may not be possible to fabricate.]

She shakes her head, giggling ruefully. "Forgot to specify aloud. Oh well. Requires charge and love, filament contact, a model of the structure and energies and generation methods. And materials with self-reactive precursors might be impossible. Considering that, honestly I wonder if magical materials might be impossible too. Rings aren't known for handling magic easily."

With a considering hum, she continues, "Hazy memories say it was a charge hog. Bet crushing graphite into diamond is maybe one of the simplest tests, though maybe you have a better idea."

He frowns slightly.

"In the case that something like that would be feasible, then there's a whole other battery of tests for the strength of your constructs..." 

He teleports quickly over to a desk, and fetches a small knife, shining eerily brightly in the harsh light of the testing room. 

"What happens when you try to replicate this?"

She peers at the knife thoughtfully. It looks fascinating. "As a construct, or out of some actual physical materials I don't have?"

"Both, let's say!"

She gazes intently at the knife, taking in the shape and the eerie glow. It's intriguing, maybe magical judging from that shine, and she's always loved weapons. She'll scan it and recreate it as faithfully as she can.

It... mostly works? The process seems a little slow and awkward as the ring adapts to the unfamiliar metal, and she can feel the charge draining agressively. Some of the sigils don't come out quite right, some sort of automatic substitution in the structure making the lines flow a little differently. 

"If I may..." 

He carefully plucks the knife from the grasp of her construct and presses it in against a test shield. 

It sparks, the imbued energy field digging into the force field effect, but it doesn't quite get past the energies. 

"Interesting, interesting! There's some sort of limitation around some thaumaturgical symbols in recreations, the nucleonic effect isn't quiet as potent as I expected it to be, but the material itself is flawless, even if that looked like quite the expenditure."

How much did that lovely bit of transmutation cost her, ring?

"Somehow that doesn't surprise me. Power rings are not known to be able to work directly with magic very well."

[8%]

"Oh? I was under the impression that it was affiliated with the magical elemental force of love..." 

He scribbles down something on his page and hums.

"Would you like to try to interact with a magical 'love' effect, then? I'm not a specialist in such things but I'm sure I could improvise something quickly enough..."

"Eight percent charge spent on that one transmutation," she notes, shaking her head and smiling. "And that's an understandable interpretation, but I don't think it's quite correct. The Violet light of love is... I suppose you could call it closer to an empathic fundamental force than magic, as are the other six colors. I have never known a power ring to reliably handle magic directly."

She shrugs, half-smiling. "Of course, I may be under-informed myself. I'm working with partially-remembered documentation of a technology I've never personally handled before today. Regardless, poking a magical 'love' effect sounds fascinating, so by all means."

Off he goes! 

He conjures a vast sheet of paper before him, and pours over it, a thick piece of charcoal sketching a finely done circle along it, writing out assorted runes and desigsn along it, each glowing and dancing slightly with a faint green light. 

In perhaps a minute, he's done, and holds an odd shimmering ball in his hand. 

"Care to tell what you see, with this, and what you think you can do with it?"
