While interesting, I'm not sure about the practical applications?

Anything we can do with control, we could do much more simply by just tearing the grief out. Nom nom familiar.

What Aeqnai said; it's basically for research.

Also we might learn how to make independent grief constructs, which we DO have applications for.
 
If we want a two-for-one, try finding a fmiliar who already has a (proto) barrier. Thats another thing we want to learn about.
 
This is my semi-monthly reminder that we still need to find out what happens when grief outside our control is allowed to coalesce.

Also, if it's possible for us to release our grip on grief that's still within our 100m range, we should do that when we test the above. That way, should some abomination spawn, we won't even have to chase it down to grab it again.

Also, once we know what the minimum density of grief is for whatever it's trying to do, we can dispose of grief by just releasing it at a controlled rate below that limit. This is probably something we shouldn't do often unless it's some sort of emergency and we have just too damn much grief, since Coobs won't like us wasting energy, but it's best to have the option if we need to do an emergency grief dump or Coobs stops taking our calls.

Also, ring of solid grief. Our finger.
The question of whether solid grief is going to cacklingly consume our face has caused too many arguments, the unwillingness of the thread to try it under combat situations without a definitive, clear-cut answer not based on extrapolation has closed off too many options and strategies, and now we actually have a day for Science to figure this out. We have put this off too damn long.

I am absolutely certain that nothing will happen. But if that's such a concern, it'll only take the slightest effort to do, so I'll go for it.

I too am absolutely certain that nothing will happen. Still, this argument has been had too many damn times and has closed off options and strategies. It is the argument itself that I am trying to kill with fire and knowledge.
 
If we're going to have Clara Doll familiars and have them running cleanse duty for us1​, we could use Krekian's Clara-Sabrina as the template. They shall flip Sakura off at every opportunity.

1: Can they operate outside our 100m radius? Will they still take our orders outside our 100m radius? Need to figure this out. Oh, and need to figure out how to make them before that.2​
2: Also need to figure out what happens if they start eating grief.​
