Foxtails and Fairytales: Facades and Fables of the Phantom Prince

[Arc 7] Ch.7 Witch Watch

[Turner]

I took off the ring and moved onto the next one. "But First Sorcerer, what about armor? You may be asking. So I made this."

I showed them the bracelet I made which was made of leather with a sizable brown gold gem embedded into it. The gem was about the size of a walnut which allowed for more magic formulas.

I showed them how I was able to change my clothes instantly to an Elkwood ranger uniform and back again.

"The problem with this one is the limitations set by the size of the gem and once the gem is shattered by any accident it would ruin the magic in the gem. So I created this." I showed them a different bracelet with what looked like a watch instead of a gem on it. "Mixing layered magic circle theory and analog gearwork technology allows the use of smaller gems and if it is broken the pieces can be fixed or replaced much easier for a cheaper price."

I Showed them how to operate the device and changed between the clothes I was wearing, Elkwood ranger clothes, heavy armor, a dress suit, and my sorcerer uniform.

"It is cheaper, uses less materials, easier to fix, and has more functions. Unfortunately, the only thing it doesn't do is tell time." I joked and got a cheap laugh out of the crowd.

"And that led me to this, a discovery and a breakthrough that will put a target on my back and yours but has the potential to change the face of magical enchantment technology forever. Which allowed me to make a 'quiver' that is everything you asked for and more." I said as I started moving on to the main part of the meeting.

First the quiver.

"This is the Quiver prototype that you commissioned." I held up a wide cuff bracelet with a couple gems embedded in a clockwork design with enchanted gears that acted as overlapping magic circles. I picked up a bow and stood on the range.

"With just a tap I can start up the magic." I said and two magic circles appeared. One sat on the top of my wrist and one at the bottom of my wrist sitting between the bow handle and its string. "Each quiver holds one hundred and twenty arrows. More than enough for any archer. Now if I hold it like this..." I held up the bow and aimed. I grabbed the small dot in the center of the magic circle sitting comfortably next to the string of the bow. When my fingers wrapped around the dot I was able to touch something solid and then when I grasped it an arrow appeared. Instead of pulling the arrow out of the magic circle the magic circle pulled away from the base of the arrow to reveal it. It was then a simple matter to place the nock against the string and pull back. I aimed and released an arrow.

The moment I released the arrow the magic circle on the top of my wrist displayed a number and went from 120 to 119. I then fired a few more arrows in quick succession faster than I had any right too as someone who didn't have an extensive amount of training with a bow.

"Then if I point my finger like this..." a small magic circle appeared by my finger that was holding the bow. "It creates a magic circle with a telescope function." I aimed a target further down the range and looked through the telescope circle to hit it. Once again, I fired a number of arrows much faster and much more accurately than I have any right to.

"And now for the function that will make every archer salivate." I clicked a function on the bracelet and all the arrows disappeared from the range and the number on my bracelet changed to 120 again. "And now I have all my arrows back. If one is too damaged to be used it won't return but it is simple enough to empty and refill."

I pulled off the Quiver. "It is a great proof of concept prototype, development will be to make it more compact and to work out a few kinks. But I really wanted to show you this."
