Eclipse Transit

[Tom Marvolo Riddle]

I shuddered ever so slightly, still reflecting on the destruction of the… inane monstrosity even as I walked in stride with the being I had chosen to ally in a fit of spontaneity and dubious self-reasoning skills. All in all though my impulsive so far was paying off far more than I had imagined it would and I was realizing now that this relationship of sorts might work out.

While the random destruction of the god’s citizens was concerning, I had no doubt it had more to do with the realization and rectification of a mistake rather than that of targeted malevolence. It did give me my own insight to the abounding whiteness that was our surroundings. If everything was omnilium, even our own bodies then indeed the creation of sentients, even sapients was just a matter of practical application, skill and experimentation.

Moving as we were I didn’t want to test some of my more damning experiments. I didn’t really care about the journey; within my first moments here I had seen nearly all there was to see. It didn’t leave me much to do except converse and perform a few calculations.

“It is curious” I began, formulating my words, “That the god of this realm would conjure a being into life and just as hastily banish it from such as well. But it did raise a question in what I saw.”

Expanding on my statement, I cocked my head and brought my wand forward which I had been clinging to it this entire time, ready for any other unexpected visitations, but luckily not needed. Instead of combat, a graceful swipe of the tool and a nonverbal incantation brought a trailing fiery line from its tip to the air in scarlet incandescence. More flicks, swishes and curls called up lines into an equation the described the required power to shape and conjure matter from nothing, or rather from magic. Many often describe it more as an intrusion of transient particles from a vacuum. Then beside it I wrote up another line that was a transformation of matter to energy and energy to matter.

Arithmancy, the written language of magic used to describe its properties. Where runes granted it shape and intent, the math was where its power was established and its foundations built. And what I had seen so far regarding this universe’s medium made it seem like the two were similar if not outright the same. The fact that the last equation had been pioneered me by a German muggle scientist irked me to no end. But then again Muggles always seemed to have superior faculties when it came to common sense of the sciences when compared to the bulk of wizarding society, if only due to a disproportionate population.

“In your studies here and in omnilium did you come upon anything close to these formulas?” I said with heavy tone before flicking my wand towards Nealaphh. Immediately the formulas I had depicted floated in front of him with a lazy casualness that belied the fact that both of us were traveling at a decent pace. “I imagine if I hadn’t seen that golem’s demise I’d have been left ignorant of the depth applications of this material.”

є=๓ς²

If omnilium behaved like magic then that opened a whole new world of magical theory for me to explore and draw power from. Even a complete and utter cad would be able to figure that out even if they were ill equipped to perform the task. Me on the other hand… had a wand and far more sense that most wizard or witches ever had in their combined attempts of logic.

It was only a matter of time
