1.3d Uninspired Conversation
After the conversation about Dack died, the three of them decided it was time to get up and actually mix with the others for a bit. Daryl walked over to the group of football players and cheerleaders to strike up a conversation with Nessa. It was rather awkward, and nothing of consequence was discussed, though Daryl noticed Nessa glancing over at her two minions/minders every so often. Mostly the conversation felt incredibly stiff, as though she were forcing it to be polite, and Daryl was forcing it trying to breakthrough the forced politeness.
(Yeah, sorry about this update, but the dialog would not come to me, and the massive headache I've had over the last few days did not help. Basically, Daryl didn't gain much in this conversation, other than making himself more familiar to Nessa, but he didn't lose anything either. You guys kind of scraped by with that social networking perk and your good {but not great} clothes, which put you into an acceptable social class for her to be seen talking too, and skilled enough to not be instantly dismissed. If she didn't have her minders, or wasn't on thin ice with her parents, something could have happened here. Basically, Anything involving Nessa is going to need some more prep time.)

I think I got a new spell that would help with repairing our car we should get.
One of the biggest problems we have is metal fatigue and how we can't manipulate the structure of the metal on a molecular level to make it as strong again.
This is what I came up while trying to use a trick to keep costs down.
Material copy (Matter/Transmutation) - Spell alters the structure of matter to match makeup and properties it is being copied from. User can chose to only alter the material structure or alter the shape to match the original. Requires necessary material and a original object from which to do the copying. Excess material and impurities are expelled.

Your biggest problem with repairing the car is actually precision engineering. The current spells allow you to reshape metal like it was clay, but can't give you the sub-millimeter precision needed in modern machines. Which is why you need a mind element tacked on to a Matter spell to do so.
As for Material Copy, yeah, it can work, and work well. But it still won't solve the precision problem, just making what you've shaped as strong as the undamaged/bent metal.
As for using magic in conversation, weren't you guys planning to test it out on Daryl's mother one day? A write in would handle that easily.
I think you skipped over the part where the caster can also have the object change on a macro level if he so choses.
Ex: Caster has two knives of different shape and metal durability. Caster can decide to copy the durability of the better knife over to the poor quality one or copy the whole knive making him 2 identical knives.
I did it that way so we could buy or borrow the expensive parts that require precision engineering to fix up the broken ones. Then either send them back for a refund or sell them on ebay at slightly lower price to get our money back.
It would also greatly increase our revenue from our part time job of fixing stuff and selling them on ebay if we could buy a buch of broken thing and a working original and just have to use one spell.
Does this make the spell too powerful?

A manipulation aspect is needed if you want to change on the macro level. Transmutation just changes matter, not re-shape it. And it would need a mind element added on for precision shaping. Without that mind element, it would be as if you shaped it with your fingers, IE: Not good enough to actually work.
I've said time and time again, if you want precision, you need a lvl 3 spell to do it with.

So a level one spell like 'structural analysis' would be a good place to start for pre reqs?
Gear
Set Moon to Ramming Speed!
Structural Analysis would have at least 3 components, as it needs a matter/manipulation (may need to stack another manipulation or two for scan resolution though) pair to gather data of an object, a mind/transmutation to make the memory of the data photographic, and a mind/manipulation for the analysis. You could make a single lvl 3 that does all of this, or two lvl 1 and a lvl 2 spell.

Hmm, all these would take care of the need to see what we are doing on the car.
Now we need a means of micro manipulation. Would stacking multiple manipulation aspects on a matter spell achieve this?
Gear
Set Moon to Ramming Speed!
Yes, but Daryl doesn't have the hyper intelligence or control to use that precise manipulation to achieve the many complex and exacting measurements needed unaided. Which is why you guys need a lvl 3 spell with the Mind element added on, so that he can make a lump of twisted metal into a new alternator and such.

So basically a spell to structurally analyse, comprehend, measure, and manipulate down to a near micro level.
The cost is going to be insane.
I did.
However, people refuse to use magic on others out of fear that they are mages and are willing to turn us into mama batteries moment we out ourselves.
