Definitely. The best part is Canada recognises what a gem they have - He was recognized by Canada's House of Commons for his mastery work in building and construction, and he received the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. On top of that, the good people at the British Columbia Institute of Technology awarded him a Doctor of Technology Honorary Degree, the highest award anyone can receive from the school. He definitely deserves the props he gets.
He's even said in an interview that he wired his first house under the supervision of his father at age 6 and he did his first basement at age 12, moved out at 16 and was running his own company with 14 employees by 19. He definitely does credit to his trade...

you know in an odd way adam has taken an almost similar sort of relationship to the worms entities. simmy the thinker and adam the warrior that and traveling from world to world looking for new ways to use powers and more tech, just a funny thought.

With casual ease, Adam swiped a hand, the earth parting with 'Manipulation' to give him some working room now that they were here at the Docks.
...Any time now.
With a blush, Adam coughed. Right, powers were currently being borrowed by the terrible trio. "Uh... First, I think making some basic designs first would be senseable."
She saw nothing, right? He glanced at Betty who seemed... more than a bit amused. Crud. "What natural defenses does this town have?"
The place was interesting. The Docks (Actual town name) was in an almost closed bay connected to the sea, with cover and walls everywhere even as you got closer to the actual sea structures themselves. Some sort of metal and rock monstrosity, obviously built in sections over many years.
Betty was kind enough to move on. "The bay entrance is normally armed with Hunters stationed in turrets, there are emergency barriers that can be mechanically lifted to block the area off, and there are underground emergency tunnels to escape from air attacks. The tunnels run through the docks and if needed we can continue to unload the ships during attacks."
Adam hummed. "Hmm. Maybe we could go big then."
He gestured towards the structures. "Any of these homes?"
She shook her head. "No, Grimm seem to ignore empty facilities most of the time so people live back in the processing town we passed and visit here for unloading and loading days only. Show up, kill any Grimm nearby, get the job done, go back home."
Reasonable enough. "Benny, we are rebuilding from scratch. Solidify the stone foundation, flatten it all, and get rid of the loading platforms, boardwalk, and docks for now."
He ignored the others and glanced into the water. "Levy, dig out the bay floor a few levels, open the bay channel entrance by double, then generally smooth out all surfaces near this area that are near water. Fill in ravines, grind down peaks, make it easier to work with. And get rid of the loose debris and pebbles and whatnot."
Adam watched the shifting landscape, 'Conversion' pulling a lot of work honestly. "Simmy, I want a barrier around this area, with some Grimm traps in the ocean farther out. Leave a gap in the middle so ships can enter safely while the Grimm fall for the bait. Get some drones making some light houses at the entrance, I assume fog and weather issues are still an issue."
He sighed. "Honestly, I feel so useless having to outsource my actions like this." His Aura coated limbs that were fortunately already formed into Construction emitters rotated, rapidly building a pedestal and a model of the local area. Another sweep smoothed the floor and vanished the random stones and so such.
Adam motioned the other hunters forward, before glancing at Betty. "So I think we can have four major loading and unloading piers for commercial use, with the outside rim of the Bay for private operations. That would have eight docking edges for at least one ship per side at a time."
The model was modified by his limbs. "The loading facilities will be entirely enclosed and have emergency barriers inside that can seal off sections of the tunnels from Grimm or water. Your ships dock, and any loading and unloading can be done entirely from the tunnels in the pier itself."
He frowned. "Simmy, can you update this thing with some storage facilities and refinement tools to match or better the stuff we cleared out?"
A drone fell like a silent brink from the heavens, covered the pedestal in lights, then Gathered a cavity in the base and embedded itself, Constructing a covering to protect itself. Good.
Adam pointed at the now constantly updating map. "Four temporary storage facilities, one long term storage structure that is heavily reinforced, and a larger processing area for later loading and unloading for transport when leaving the town or returning for more work."
He glanced over to where Simmy's drones were already forming the foundational layers of the new design. "Power will be supplied by Simmy's roads, since she has been installing Power Couplings under the things for the last few hours... but it would be best to have a few Conversion Generators underground as an emergency backup." Crud, he would have to tell Ghira at some point later. Can't leave random unknown power plants around.
The loud snap of something being reformed made him wince back into focus. "Well, that is a good starting point I guess, but what do you think would be a good long term idea or two for us to include guys?"
The ground rumbled, the sea bubbled, and strange noises crackled.
"Guys?"
The Hunters and Huntresses were a bit dazed. And staring at various things.
...Well that wasn't helpful.
Adam used a limb to pull the short cow woman off his shoulders. "Betty, do you need some sort of pasture here to hold your livestock before being shipped?"
Her eyes were still watching the world being reformed by magic, conversion, and flying laser droids. "Huwah?"
Right, probably would need a pasture. Best build it underground again, with the feed generating machines Simmy enhanced. "Good talk. You guys just... hold down the fort. I'll be right back."
Betty gestured at the ocean. "WhaWha!?"
He pet her head. "That's right, Wha Wha indeed. Be right back."
Adam walked towards the main holding facility. It would be slower to use his own work limbs to do this but at least he wouldn't feel so useless.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Gene walked into the living room, seeing her grand daughter watching some action movie on her Scroll. "Susan, you shouldn't spend so much time online. Go out and train a bit, enjoy the sunshine!"
Her little one looked up. "Gran... come look at this."
She blinked, but carefully sat on the couch. Age waits for no one, which was funny considering how much waiting SHE had to do now these days. "Is this one of your action shows? You know I have trouble keeping up with them. Ends up with explosions most of the time anyways."
Susan widened her Scroll. "That is Adam. He summons monsters and builds stuff. Right now he is making a fishing town or something at the ocean."
Huh. "Odd choice for a plot. Most of the time it is about some valiant hunter duo finding love and battle while defending someplace or other."
Her little one (I don't CARE how old you are dear, you will always be my little one) blushed. "Gran, that was ONE time! And no one filmed us!" She coughed. "Anyway, Adam fought off an army of Grimm and that woman on his shoulders is like an orphan who became a Guild Leader and all kinds of stuff. I'm still trying to catch up honestly."
They both blinked when the video shrank. To show a news room.
Oh. That was a live feed.
The two watched in wonder as a single person reshaped the world because he was unhappy about how other people prepared cattle for ocean transportation.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Adam paused in his work when Simmy connected him to some of the new information from her network.
Someone had found the 'Weapon Design' Wiki interesting enough to make a 'Structure Development' one. And as he watched, schematics for all kinds of tools and workstations were being shared, argued over, improved, made worse, and all sorts of neat things. And a lot of useless ones, like the egg inspection facility... for animals that don't lay eggs. Which, fair enough, if a cow laid an egg HE would want to inspect it too.
The one's Simmy had shared though involved not just loading machines, unloading machines, sorting machines, and so forth... but sorting and seafood processing facilities. And packaging ones, both for food and non food products.
He glanced at the still being constructed pasture. Well, it was a bit boring to work on this anyway... the designs were pretty solid so he was stuck walking around to get his tools in range while they automatically built junk.
Screw it, better to go back to the larger storage facility and make some processing rooms.
Time passed. And anyone trying to point out that Adam had to move a few things were a liar. Because of COURSE the loading machines should be in the Piers... and more in the storage facilities... And maybe the various harvesting tools needed a few more modifications for people with only two arms and...
Well, Simmy helped a lot in general and Betty helped a lot in pointing out how silly some of his design choices were for non-Elephant Faunus multi-limbed people.
After she caught up.
Betty had been distracted for a while, and before she had recovered some sort of call center had sprung up near the constantly updated pedestal map and she had been roped into helping. But eventually she found Adam randomly building crap in the larger storage area, and was able to point out that in several cases he had forgotten how important the order of operations could be when unloading or loading something. And how important windows were. And doors.
Buildings needed doors.
Good thing the materials used were stupid strong, despite being thin the walls would resist a heck of a lot and the ceilings were so high it made people woozy to look up at it. Should keep the flying Grimm out of the way though, and the thin materials meant more room for the future workers inside. That they were easier to lift and move around was beside the point. He fixed it all eventually anyway.
To be honest, Adam had been so distracted by the random things he was doing that he entirely missed the first two arriving vehicles bringing in Faunus from the city. If he hadn't found them in his way as he moved rooms/machines/sections of the new town... well, he noticed them eventually. That was the important part.
Sienna however had shown up a bit furious. And glaring at Betty. "I can't BELIEVE you got all this snuggle time with Captain Muscles."
On the other hand, Betty's expression shone with purity and innocence. "I called Dibs."
...It went downhill from there.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Susan pointed at the chart as the onscreen argument continued. "So Sienna Khan gathered a lesbian harem to conquer Adam's massive body, but had too many work responsibilities to properly make her case for love and sexy times. Betty had pushed hard for a relationship position early and often, accidentally becoming more powerful politically and financially in the process."
She made some marks. "Adam HASN'T seduced Ghira's wife, Kali." More marks. "Or Chieftain Ghira." More marks. "However, these twelve women whom were supposed to be body guards seem to be more body inspectors, and I don't know where on the chart they go. Or if Adam even noticed them yet."
An arrow pointed towards three images. "The sexy undressed Angel is his summons, but was also called his secretary and wife. She has directly met Betty AND Sienna, but had no issue with either one or their flirtations. Her brothers are massive monsters currently destroying the area's Grimm population, so if she wanted to end the issue both Betty and Sienna would be smushed."
Gene sighed. "And why the multiple arms?"
She frowned. "The network doesn't think it is a sexual situation, just extra tools on a very advanced suit under-frame. Maybe a secondary weapons platform he uses for construction." Susan pointed to the board. "The network is going a bit crazy, but the thirty five women claiming to be from past relationships were unable to provide proof, same with the ex-boyfriends. The best information we got so far was from 'Winged_One', who keeps making some amazing videos and finding some interesting rumors."
Gene blinked. "Like what?"
Susan leaned forward. "Supposedly Adam is dating a woman who is a twin... with herself!"
...What?
...Any time now.
With a blush, Adam coughed. Right, powers were currently being borrowed by the terrible trio. "Uh... First, I think making some basic designs first would be senseable."

Haha awesome and funny keep up the good work can't wait for more
Pretty good chapter.
Secondly I think even a clone doesn't really cut it, Cyber dragon/Narwal don't share DNA with the original. If I remember correctly they aren't even digital copies that went on different paths. Considering they were simulations based on MC's knowledge of them I believe. Though they might have gotten retroactively fixed when they reconnected even if that was true.
So now their what? Digi-clones? Digital simulation clones? The MC needs to get someone in his harem whos better at naming then him to figure out something to call it.
Firstly this makes me think that remnant has never conceived of the notion of clones, which fair enough they have been fighting to survive and their media seems worse.

To be fair Simmy could probably precog him so that stuff happens without him actually saying it. Too bad shes a massive troll.

Just after binging the entire story, glad to see that you don't shy away from the MC being sexually active or beating around the bush like a lot of other fics. So far only Star Wars arc was disappointing only for how low scope it was but understandable with how big it is and at singular planet level is struggling to deal with all the politics and repercussions let alone trying to deal with intergalactic civil war.
Now in Rwby the possibility for a self sustaining anti grimm ward to protect settlements is a godsend, the dust convertors will likely spark a war with other kingdoms if only out of greed and lost of political power for families like the Schnee, similar shit has happened with oil and car industries whenever a possible alternative appears was to bury it ASAP before it becomes a major issue.

That is like a years worth of plot from Days of Our Lives right there.
Waiting Sucks.
- Location
- Here
Simmy was busy. Levy and Benny were having fun, but not really entertaining to talk to. Squishy was... well, she would get back to him later.
No, the real issue is having to wait. Home needed time to consume the two Entities, HERE needed time to bestow Simmy with all their knowledge, and Betty had to go talk to some people about some business or other, guild related he was sure. So... he had to spend some time NOT doing anything.
It was surprisingly hard.
Adam had retreated to the workshop warehouse, now that there were so many people in the way. He had wanted to get some sort of giant actuator arm, a robotic limb that could just lift ships out of the sea for hull maintenance... but Betty felt it would gather a lot of attention. And after some consideration, he had to agree with her.
So he took over one of the many workshops he built in the new 'Dock Town' and was trying to get something done that... well, it was a bit tedious but it was best to just grit one's teeth and get it done with.
Tech integration.
Simmy was still gathering more and more valuable information, but he had enough to get to work. While the faith enhanced materials were awesome, and the Dust infused stuff created interesting options... the real issue was the design philosophy.
Star Wars tech was about precision, automation, and standardization. Trillions of cultures trying to trade and interact.
RWBY tech was about fault tolerance, individualized design, and variability. Only the surviving few attempting to live.
With a sigh, Adam began going over each of his various designs. Some would give up reliability and precision to gain far more flexibility and error handling (Both software and hardware issues, this stuff was useful). Stuff like his initial build up equipment was in this category. Other schematics would have no change, the necessary output too reliant on other parts to accept change easily. Gather and Construction beam emitters for one.
The last bit to consider was full on tool replacement. Because some things RWBY did, RWBY did VERY well.
Fuel analysis in this Realm was needed everywhere, with Dust being so unreliable, with fuel being so flimsy. The sensors for determining structural integrity and wear and tear were amazing, more powerful and smaller than anything he had seen so far. Heck, sensors in general here were BETTER than the ones from a space traveling society! That was unusual all on its own.
Even after replacing the components reliant on Dust to operate, the sensors were still heads and shoulders above the competition. They were so good that Simmy had started having Drones upgrade each other even as Adam began attempting to improve the sensors themselves. And the improvements were minimal, they were just that well implemented.
Mecha-shifting was very interesting as well. Used not only in weaponry, but in some machinery and vehicles, even some buildings took advantage of the stuff.
As mentioned before, it didn't really go outside of the third dimension, just pushed really hard against reality in small areas. That said, the designs used clever joint designs and sliding shafts such that when transformed into other modes, the weapons would have components sync together and partially disassemble themselves.
Basically, when going from a gun to a sword the parts would slightly fall apart and then interlock with their new neighbors, creating a structural integrity and stability unexpected from anything that needed to change form. The faith metals helped as well, as currents of energy made the embedded Dust modify the physical form: Some parts bent more than possible, or became more sturdy (but only when firing or given energy), springs failed more slowly... it was fascinating.
With a pause... Adam pulled out his weapon from the initial Grimm fight.
The 'staff', or 'stick', or 'I wanna hit something with it' thing he had basically slapped together and stuffed with power.
It was... a mess.
Basically, the staff/mallet/wand thing was only a spell framework supported by a faith matrix. It was the raw energy he kept stuffing into the thing that allowed it to create the illusion of being made of physical materials, and it was the faith imbued within that kept it from randomly exploding.
Mostly. That did explain why his assaults kept spewing magic everywhere when the Grimm were struck.
Aside from the danger of using this thing in a future world with low magic or faith, which was substantial, the spells were badly designed as they were. Able to handle high energy loads safely, these same energies were NOT being handled efficiently. At all.
So yeah, it was strong enough for Adam to swing without tearing itself apart and stable enough to not explode a city block when touching the air, but it wasted his power like a screen door installed in a boat bottom.
His limbs carefully rotated the thing.
The stick, first of all. It was almost unrelated to the massive stone of magic attached to the end. It just gathered all kinds of energy, forced it into a tornado pattern, passed the energy back through the center of the rod and stuffed it into the rock.
That same rock accepted power and swirled like water into a drain... except the drain was in the center. So it was a spherical swirl that forced power into a single point... and that was it.
Any impact would disturb the power stability, causing the explosions.
And uh... Adam wasn't sure exactly where the energy from the Magic rock went. It could be sent to his soul, lost to the Abyss, or (worse case) be building up for an explosion. A big one.
So yeah, crappy design.
Glyphs, fueled by his Aura and forced to stay stable, began to materialize in metal like shapes in the air. Stability, Reinforcement, and Momentum Conversion began to carefully duplicate themselves and be slightly bent, the blue metal designs being nudged into a rod form.
The bottom tip would have a small set of Glyphs, focused on energy attraction and conversion. The power would run through the center as expected, but would also feed energy to the Glyphs composing the external shaft of the weapon. You know, so you could hold the damn thing.
A very thin Transportation Glyph string would exist on the outside of the rod, spiraling down to connect both ends. Theoretically, this would allow energy to loop between ends to prevent any power leakage and to encourage stability even if no additional power was available in the system. An emergency feedback loop, one Adam carefully designed to be regulated and modified based on the other Glyph's energy use. Should be fine.
The magic stone design on the other hand was a loss. No idea what it was trying to do, but it was a waste to use that energy in such a weak way. Just tossing the power at the target would be more powerful and less wasteful than forcing it into a ball and having someone mess up the energy flow to 'attack'.
So the center of the new orb was now an energy gathering array, one that would take any excess fuel and compress it into a solidified form for removal. No more 'It goes somewhere and I hope it is safe' for Adam, he could just collect the raw magic stones it generated and relax a little.
Then he included a complicated analysis array, one with a mental communication Glyph setup next to a Glyph modification matrix. They were formed around the power supply/magic stone generator, and would be the 'surface' of the rock. For now.
So... if this worked, this new 'magic stone' would feel what actions he was trying to cause, look through the supplied library of Glyphs (By connecting to his Soul Library through the communication Glyphs), and use the energy from storage to etch Aura empowered Glyphs near the surface of the rock. They could be used to enhance actions without getting in the way.
The more duplicate Glyphs needed, the larger and more stable the etched 'enhancers' would become... the less used, the smaller they would become until they vanished.
Theoretically this would allow his new wand/staff/mallet to modify itself to eventually match his personal attack/use style while still allowing him to use new spells or whatever if desired without a casting penalty. Maybe.
Adam wiped his forehead with his trunk, grinning at the black Glyph rod and the blue Glyph stone, carefully feeding his Aura into the base of it. The energy filled in the air gaps of the weapon, even as the patterns themselves grew in clarity and definition. Ever so slowly, the symbols began pulsing with power. After only a few seconds, the pattern stabilized, a steady glow of black light from the shaft and blue light from the stone implying all steps were completed, 'Soul Wand' active.
Ha, he rocked!
Right, something basic. Make a basic light source.
A gesture with the wand, and a soft green light glowed in the lab.
He barely had time to blink before the stone was covered in hundreds of thousands of Glyphs and everything exploded.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Betty and the rest fell into attack formations as a massive form was thrown into the bay, an explosion ripped through the town, and the new 'Workshop Facility' Adam had made spewed smoke from a new hole in the wall.
A trunk rose from the water. "I'm OK!"
Confetti and streamers fell from the sky, along with a loose banner that said 'Congratulations for making (some) progress!'... and landed on Adam's water treading form, covering him with rapidly soaking cloth.
The mound of material shifted. "Still OK! And I can fix it!"
With a sigh, Betty waved the other Hunters away from the facility. Adam would fix it soon enough, and who knows what the Faunus had been working on. She looked back at her scroll. "Sorry Boss, Adam was just stopping by. He is off on some other project again."
Ghira grumbled. "Better not be making me more work. We finally got the rough draft of the agreement together and I don't want to spend another day in the office."
She blinked. "Anything you can share?"
Ghira nodded. "Vale and Headmaster Ozpin will be the customer service department of our new venture, while Shade and Headmaster Theodore will be our major Dust supplier... and likely our largest Dust consumer afterwords. Atlas and Headmaster Ironwood will handle Research and Development, and our groups will be using their larger facilities and automation lines to lower costs where possible for any new product."
Betty glanced at the soaked Elephant Faunus slurshing his way from the sea. "And Adam?"
Ghira sighed. "His blue angel assistant made it pretty clear that he is a traveler. He goes places and does things and she makes sure his interests are taken care of. He would not do well if forced into any political or financial position or forced to shoulder such responsibilities. James has experience with some geniuses like that, says it is best to just watch them make miracles and record what goes on."
She frowned. It had felt likely, but if Adam didn't build any further attachments than... well. He would move on. And to be honest, it was not really a surprise to her... he had a more touristy attitude than a guy trying to build a home.
The question was if he was interested in bringing her along.
She firmed her stance and got back to work. If he was willing to let her follow, she would need to have her people taken care of, a replacement or four in the wings, and anything personal packed. Something inside told her that his travels went far farther than anywhere she knew.
An adventure like that was more than a little appealing... especially with Adam as company.
Best get to it then.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Right, the wand needed restrictions on that damn rock. Add the top THREE Glyphs only per casting. Not the top ALL OF THEM.
Secondly, Aura created Glyphs etched into magic and faith while orbiting a power stone: They can collide. That was... unexpected.
During testing, low power Glyphs could just... pass through each other. Like images or holograms. During experimentation, they became so solid that they could interact... and the weapon design didn't account for that, forcing two physical spells shapes to press into AND THROUGH each other.
Thus boom.
And there had been hundreds of thousands of Glyphs being created at the same time.
Thus big boom.
It took a bit of thought, but eventually Adam came up with something.
New Glyphs would be created in non-overlapping spherical shells, chosen based on which shell had which rotation and free space. AFTER casting, when the spell shells were relatively stable, they would slowly sort themselves.
Duplicates would fuse and create single larger forms, orientations would eventually line up allowing two spinning 'Shells' to merge.
Finally, the largest and most used Glyphs would sink into the innermost shell that had room while the smaller ones would orbit outwards, making said room.
The resulting rotating metal shapes were a bit mesmerizing to watch, but thankfully NOT explosive to experience!
Probably.
That said, the next twelve tests were done from behind some armored barriers. Just in case.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Her limbs held Adam's soul. Her eye watched the outside.
Within the fishbowl, her avatar reformed. A large squishy body, eight tiny limbs. No longer winged, no hats, and she only had a single eye now...
But she was stable. More so than long ago.
Her limbs felt raw, her thoughts were slow... but recovery should be swift.
Squishy bobbed along inside Adam's soul even as S̴̢̐q̷̻̣̀͗u̵̳̯̓͊ị̵̝̂̕ṣ̶̦̋̚h̷̗̚ỷ̸̦ watched the Abyss outside.
They would keep Adam safe.
Another explosion hurled his body through the recently repaired wall and back into the sea. "I'm STILL OK!"
...Mostly safe.
No, the real issue is having to wait. Home needed time to consume the two Entities, HERE needed time to bestow Simmy with all their knowledge, and Betty had to go talk to some people about some business or other, guild related he was sure. So... he had to spend some time NOT doing anything.
It was surprisingly hard.
Adam had retreated to the workshop warehouse, now that there were so many people in the way. He had wanted to get some sort of giant actuator arm, a robotic limb that could just lift ships out of the sea for hull maintenance... but Betty felt it would gather a lot of attention. And after some consideration, he had to agree with her.
So he took over one of the many workshops he built in the new 'Dock Town' and was trying to get something done that... well, it was a bit tedious but it was best to just grit one's teeth and get it done with.
Tech integration.
Simmy was still gathering more and more valuable information, but he had enough to get to work. While the faith enhanced materials were awesome, and the Dust infused stuff created interesting options... the real issue was the design philosophy.
Star Wars tech was about precision, automation, and standardization. Trillions of cultures trying to trade and interact.
RWBY tech was about fault tolerance, individualized design, and variability. Only the surviving few attempting to live.
With a sigh, Adam began going over each of his various designs. Some would give up reliability and precision to gain far more flexibility and error handling (Both software and hardware issues, this stuff was useful). Stuff like his initial build up equipment was in this category. Other schematics would have no change, the necessary output too reliant on other parts to accept change easily. Gather and Construction beam emitters for one.
The last bit to consider was full on tool replacement. Because some things RWBY did, RWBY did VERY well.
Fuel analysis in this Realm was needed everywhere, with Dust being so unreliable, with fuel being so flimsy. The sensors for determining structural integrity and wear and tear were amazing, more powerful and smaller than anything he had seen so far. Heck, sensors in general here were BETTER than the ones from a space traveling society! That was unusual all on its own.
Even after replacing the components reliant on Dust to operate, the sensors were still heads and shoulders above the competition. They were so good that Simmy had started having Drones upgrade each other even as Adam began attempting to improve the sensors themselves. And the improvements were minimal, they were just that well implemented.
Mecha-shifting was very interesting as well. Used not only in weaponry, but in some machinery and vehicles, even some buildings took advantage of the stuff.
As mentioned before, it didn't really go outside of the third dimension, just pushed really hard against reality in small areas. That said, the designs used clever joint designs and sliding shafts such that when transformed into other modes, the weapons would have components sync together and partially disassemble themselves.
Basically, when going from a gun to a sword the parts would slightly fall apart and then interlock with their new neighbors, creating a structural integrity and stability unexpected from anything that needed to change form. The faith metals helped as well, as currents of energy made the embedded Dust modify the physical form: Some parts bent more than possible, or became more sturdy (but only when firing or given energy), springs failed more slowly... it was fascinating.
With a pause... Adam pulled out his weapon from the initial Grimm fight.
The 'staff', or 'stick', or 'I wanna hit something with it' thing he had basically slapped together and stuffed with power.
It was... a mess.
Basically, the staff/mallet/wand thing was only a spell framework supported by a faith matrix. It was the raw energy he kept stuffing into the thing that allowed it to create the illusion of being made of physical materials, and it was the faith imbued within that kept it from randomly exploding.
Mostly. That did explain why his assaults kept spewing magic everywhere when the Grimm were struck.
Aside from the danger of using this thing in a future world with low magic or faith, which was substantial, the spells were badly designed as they were. Able to handle high energy loads safely, these same energies were NOT being handled efficiently. At all.
So yeah, it was strong enough for Adam to swing without tearing itself apart and stable enough to not explode a city block when touching the air, but it wasted his power like a screen door installed in a boat bottom.
His limbs carefully rotated the thing.
The stick, first of all. It was almost unrelated to the massive stone of magic attached to the end. It just gathered all kinds of energy, forced it into a tornado pattern, passed the energy back through the center of the rod and stuffed it into the rock.
That same rock accepted power and swirled like water into a drain... except the drain was in the center. So it was a spherical swirl that forced power into a single point... and that was it.
Any impact would disturb the power stability, causing the explosions.
And uh... Adam wasn't sure exactly where the energy from the Magic rock went. It could be sent to his soul, lost to the Abyss, or (worse case) be building up for an explosion. A big one.
So yeah, crappy design.
Glyphs, fueled by his Aura and forced to stay stable, began to materialize in metal like shapes in the air. Stability, Reinforcement, and Momentum Conversion began to carefully duplicate themselves and be slightly bent, the blue metal designs being nudged into a rod form.
The bottom tip would have a small set of Glyphs, focused on energy attraction and conversion. The power would run through the center as expected, but would also feed energy to the Glyphs composing the external shaft of the weapon. You know, so you could hold the damn thing.
A very thin Transportation Glyph string would exist on the outside of the rod, spiraling down to connect both ends. Theoretically, this would allow energy to loop between ends to prevent any power leakage and to encourage stability even if no additional power was available in the system. An emergency feedback loop, one Adam carefully designed to be regulated and modified based on the other Glyph's energy use. Should be fine.
The magic stone design on the other hand was a loss. No idea what it was trying to do, but it was a waste to use that energy in such a weak way. Just tossing the power at the target would be more powerful and less wasteful than forcing it into a ball and having someone mess up the energy flow to 'attack'.
So the center of the new orb was now an energy gathering array, one that would take any excess fuel and compress it into a solidified form for removal. No more 'It goes somewhere and I hope it is safe' for Adam, he could just collect the raw magic stones it generated and relax a little.
Then he included a complicated analysis array, one with a mental communication Glyph setup next to a Glyph modification matrix. They were formed around the power supply/magic stone generator, and would be the 'surface' of the rock. For now.
So... if this worked, this new 'magic stone' would feel what actions he was trying to cause, look through the supplied library of Glyphs (By connecting to his Soul Library through the communication Glyphs), and use the energy from storage to etch Aura empowered Glyphs near the surface of the rock. They could be used to enhance actions without getting in the way.
The more duplicate Glyphs needed, the larger and more stable the etched 'enhancers' would become... the less used, the smaller they would become until they vanished.
Theoretically this would allow his new wand/staff/mallet to modify itself to eventually match his personal attack/use style while still allowing him to use new spells or whatever if desired without a casting penalty. Maybe.

Looks like Squishy is becoming an entity or Eldritch abomination

I mean squishy never really did originate from a normal place, they control powers the likes of which no normal mortal could hope to understand.
the only ones to ever really see squishy are those a part of the group in ways no mortals normally are or the big bads (endbringers and such) that get sucked into his soul. (theres gonna be more in the future more than likely.)
in some symbolic ways squishy is bound away from the mortal plane of existence yet able to interact with it because her home is in adam's soul and yet just their presence and tampering is causing massive amounts of power to shake worlds around them.
together they can survive the area inbetween worlds, create massive changes to any world they touch, have a tendency towards extra limbs. (yes im counting adams trunk) Their shape never seems to stay the same changing from world to world and yes if we take in what simmy did they can and have caused specialized target madness to mortals that have pissed them off. add in the fact that in the worm world he probably has a cult as well as inuyasha, and more than likely if not already in the background RWBY world a cult or cults brewing based around their actions.
I mean add it all together and take a look at what the baseline is for described eldritch beings. Beyond the stars. causes madness, cults, massive changes wherever they touch it all kinda fits.
also high energy murderous rampages even if it was grimm my point still stands he went into a world with the sole purpose to fight off some stream.

Any consequences to suddenly being a world that lacks Aura, Dust or other things she grew up with?
