[ Although the bad dreams have eased somewhat, Emet-Selch decides to make one last effort to try and fully satisfy the conditions for his so-called 'rehabilitation'. To that end...he has come up with a proposition. ]

Mages of the 'Chosen': how many of you draw upon the latent energy of your land to fuel your magicks and find yourself rationing your power day-to-day? I have some tests I would like to conduct.

Those completely lacking in magical ability are also welcome. I have a different sort of experiment for you.

All but the most basic of spells, yes. There's a little bit of, you know, "spirit" in us, so I can manage to use that.

But... [How can he properly convey how weird it feels? Well, maybe Emet-Selch gets it without him having to say more. He seems like a smart old guy.]

I've been to other planets, and there were spirits there. It's not just an Azeroth-only thing. So...I don't know why this world wouldn't have any.

Having never visited another star, I cannot say. My star has an abundance of that which we call aether. Travelling beyond its atmosphere, one will find little to none - or so I'm led to understand. So why shouldn't this land be bereft of all that which we find familiar?

But that is precisely why I wish to run this sort of experiment. To see if we can share our magicks with others.

[ And also to get the Council off his back... ]

[He almost tells Emet-Selch that he's done that before - shared the magic of others and pooled disparate powers into one. But it is technically supposed to be a secret - at least for now, he's pretty sure; the Council of Tirisfal was a covert operation, and its new members hadn't agreed to reveal themselves, or him, to the world. Of course, maybe that was all moot here on this completely different world...but better to remain discreet for now.]

What sort of experiment would help us do that?

[And also; ]

On my world, we have something called 'aether', too, but I don't think it's the same thing you're talking about.

I plan to store some of my own aether in a crystal and require someone to try to draw upon it as a source of energy or magical power. Mayhap you would like to volunteer and we could see if the 'aether' we are each familiar with is compatible.
