[X] Get started on the force weapon (theoretical), Shirou and you study your father's notes on the Azoth dagger and compare them to Shirou's notes, there has to be some similarity there were you can begin your work.
Shirou PoV
Rin Tohsaka let out a sigh, it was a tired one, perhaps she was getting a little tired of yours and Magnus's behavior. "Well we might as well get started" the girl states as she walks up to the back and takes out her father's notes and the Azoth sword from her bag. "After all that is what we did all of this for in the first place."
You nod as it is what you went to the trouble of avoiding the one named Kotomine Kirei. While Magnus is powerful enough to destroy him, your body would not be able to withstand the strain at this point in time. That or it would be torn apart by the forces of the Immaterium that would be channeled.
Still there is one problem with Rin's idea. Magnus has already gone through these on your way back to the residence and transferred the knowledge into your mind. Though given that he created a copy of the notes in your mind meant that you automatically learned of what was in there already. But perhaps though it is highly unlikely, Rin might give you a slightly different perspective than the one you already have along.
<A wise choice> Magnus informs you. <In the pursuit of knowledge your greatest foe is believing that you already know everything> you feel a swell of pride as Magnus compliments you, then again who wouldn't? <I know of several> the Crimson King states. <Play along and perhaps you might discover something, I will e working on it in your mindscape so that should help you here as well.>
With that Magnus leaves the two of you to your own devices, as he begins to incorporate what he has a;ready gleamed from the notes and try to use the concepts in cohesion with one another.
Walking up next to Rin you get out your own notes on the nature and construction of force weapons getting all of the pages, you shift through your own notes and the notes of Rin's father. <Tokiomi> Magnus says <his name was Tokiomi Tohsaka> then there is a pause as Magnus debates on whether or not to tell you something. <He is the one who is ultimately responsible for your friend Sakura's condition> the Crimson King finally decides to tell you, most likely so you have no illusions as to what Rin's father may have been like. <While that creature may have been the one to infest her, he was the one who made if all possible.>
With this you begin to work quietly or as quietly as possible since Rin is rather insistent on talking about the similarities and differences and how you should incorporate the two techniques together to get the best result.
(Roll(4d20)+10: 17,15,17,16,+10 Total: 75 + Roll(1d6)+10: 4,+10 Total:14) =89 success
While it may have been a little difficult at first thanks to the work Magnus was doing on it at the same time you are able to come up with a basic understanding of what you need to do when the two of you were comparing notes.
Rin for her part is a little confused but she eventual comes to realise what you are talking about when you show her the design you and Magnus concocted while working.
"Now all we need to do is acquire the gems needed to be the Psi Converter and the right materials to for the blade" she reasons, you nod at this more confirming it for here than telling her to go on, you already have come to this conclusion but there is no harm in letting Rin into thinking that she also helped in this part. "You would need perhaps to instead have the weapon made out of jewels as they would conduct and convert the magical energy much better" she adds.
"But for that we would need to have a type of gem or metal what was durable enough to withstand the energy being dispersed into it and strong enough not to shatter when used." you add.
"Which leaves only a few" Rins states as she scratches her head "but out of those the strongest one are diamonds" Rin finishes.
"Indeed" you reply "which would make it's construction expenses since they are sold in small quantities unless" you trail off interested in seeing where Rin will go with this.
Rin Pov
"What" you stammer as you see Shirou looking at you expectantly "what do you mean unless?" you ask him. "I don't have that many diamonds in fact I don't think I have any at all" you say rather embarrassed. You are unsure of whether or not you would go that far as to buy Shirou the quantity he needs.
Shirou raises an eyebrow at this "That was not the conclusion I was referring to" he informs you.
Great you just made a complete and utter fool of yourself in front of him, how were you supposed to know that he was not asking you for them?
<Perhaps because he is aware that your family fortune is being given away by that fake priest?>
How would Shirou know that? you ask yourself this as there seem to be a lot of things he knows. It is then you remember the words he spoke before regarding the past and the future.
"Are you going to divine the best path for you to take in acquiring these diamonds?" you finally ask him.
Shirou nods "Yes" he informs you. "If you are not using every resource at your disposal to complete a task it is then either that this task is not of any significance of that you yourself are not trying hard enough."
Magnus PoV
While Shirou is good enough to scry the future to see the path that he must take, but why should you let him do inexpert work when you can do it to perfection?
As such yo can also use the knowledge and blueprints the two of you have made to create a mental copy of it here inside of his mindscape inside of his very soul so that Shirou will be able to recreate it within the material universe without a single flaw.
Such are the thought that fly through your own mind separate from Shirou's but as you have noticed due to the strange way this world and souls works, leaking over into the boys own. It is not as if you are becoming a part of him or he is becoming a part of you, it is just that some of your own emotions and thoughts you have noticed have leaked in Shirou as of late. The Boy himself has not noticed but how could he unless you inform him.
Despite your desires you are a Daemon Prince you do not have a soul, such a thing you sacrificed along with your skin to save your sons all that remained of your legion. What is good is that here Tzeentch has no say over you nor your actions, that s a small victory you can take pride in.
Choose two
[] Scry the future for Shirou and Rin (unlocks more options in gathering the materials)
[] Create the force weapon from the blueprint you and Shirou have created which incorporates theories and information on the Azoth Sword (increases Shirou's chance of success when finally creating it)
[] Investigate why your thoughts are leaking over into Shirou's and what this means (???)
[]Attempt to contact the Godslayer, you have been choosing not to, but perhaps you should also focus on something else not immediately related to Shirou, after all what is the point of having two minds in the same body if they are both thinking the same thing
[] Write in (make it reasonable otherwise I will have to veto it)
Well I finally thought that you might want to use Magnus since it has been a while since we have, anyways have fun
