What's next?
Time to study the program more, make some items
It's study time, so you boot up the readme file and study it with passion you cannot recall having on any other subject. Although, 45 minutes. Not that you really have much time to get into the itty bitty details, but you come across an interesting topic.
"Capacitators/Batteries/Storage: Objects and even persons can be enchanted to store prime (a person produces a prime a second with 1 thaum production being the human average.). A person can safely store about a thousand primes, a piece of jewelry can store about 350 primes. An ounce of solid mass stores about a thousand primes."
Hmm, considering you turned girls into slutty elves with 3600 primes or so after modifiers, you see that with enough battery capacity you could in theory do it in a few second instead over the course of an hour or so.
"Transferring other person's thaum production for personal use: An enchantment connected to a recipient and a different person than yourself can feed that person's production into the recipient. This is currently the most effective method for quickly gaining thaums. compiling a good leeching enchantment and taking care of your producers will be vital in any malchantment conflict to recharge offensive and defensive measures."
Offensive and defensive measures? You probably should read up on that pretty soon, considering all of the slutty elves taking dicks in the bathroom stalls around school now, because of a paper sheet you hung up in the hallway. No wonder cities are getting quarantined around the world. There might be honest-to-god mage wars going on in there, where they are stealing victim's magical production to conquer each other.
"Suggested items for newbies: keychain token prime battery (1000 thaums) and laser pointer wand w. mental connection. [example files in etc folder]. print files, acquire keychain item of an ounce or so in weight and laser pointer. observe the printed glyphs while holding individual item to enchant them. costs 200 prime for keychain, 800 for laser pointer, so hold for 3.5 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. A chime will sound when complete and delete enchantments from your stack. Connection enchantments on both will appear at completion, read immediately to bind."
You decide these two are pretty good. You actually have a laser pointer at home and a pretty heavy key chain item on you (a pretty large brass bottle opener), so you print them both and try out the battery enchantment. You hold the bottle opener and reveal the glyph to yourself before putting it down. After three minutes you hear the chime and look at the opener, seeing for a moment a small glyph before it quickly fades away. Alright, so you guess you now are charging up your battery the next fifteen, twenty minutes or so.
Either way, homework hour is over, so you decide to get back to school. You don't dare study the program in class in case the teacher or anyone else catches you, so you sit impatiently and wait for the day to end.
As you get back home, you put all social media channels into offline mode and hook up the household printer to your laptop. You bring the household printer upstairs and get ready to make some more battery items and the laser pointer. You try out your first battery and sure enough, by holding the bottle opener in hand, you finish the laser pointer in a moment.
As you're about to read up a bit on how the laser pointer works, there's a knock on the door. As it slowly opens, Bradley pops his head in, blushing as he sees you. "Erm, hi. Janice wrote that she had the first room on the right."
You give him a deadpan look as your sister sneaks up on Bradley and wraps her arms around his chest, pressing her tits up against his back and causing him to blush more furiously. Poking her head over his shoulder, she turns to you. "Your friends are literal idiots at sex, Mark. I'm going to tutor Brad for a few nights until he's no longer a waste of time for anyone."
"You said I was the biggest you had this week," Bradley whined in a hushed tone.
"If you weren't I wouldn't have brought you home for extra studies. That and the fact that dad's not home," Janice croons as she pulls him with her. You sigh, get up and close your own door as you hear your sister giggle with glee as she probably begun to undress your friend in her own room, door slightly ajar.
You note to yourself that the next exception spell you add is not going to leave you completely ignorant of what glamor the spell puts on people, but in the loop, so to speak, so you can figure out what sort of history you and your sister got exactly.
You return to your room and create a few more batteries out of a few school books (2000 primes for each book times three, a lot of mass to conserve energy there,) your cell phone (3000 primes, not bad at all for something you're bound to hold in your hands most of the time,) and your card holder slash wallet (a thousand in that one, sans credit cards and driving license,) This leaves you with the potential for 12 000 primes when holding your school bag, which would be enough to stealthily turn a girl into a slutty elf three times over. you just need four hours to charge it up with your own thaums though.
You go into the program and produce a thaum leecher enchantment, with vector of a small visual glyph. You look around the room to try and figure out what you could use as the hub battery for the leecher. After reading up on batteries a bit more, you've learned that they work best when within a few feet of you, but you don't really need to be touching them physically. You look into your bookshelf and find a large, cantaloupe-sized cabochon your parents bought to you when they went on a vacation when you were like three years old and staying with your grandparents. You've grown to claiming it was your parents bribe to you for having Janice, which by your reckoning came to be less than a year after that vacation, but now at least it might be useful for something!
You print the two sheets of glyphs, applying the hub glyph to the cabochon and scissoring a score of duplicate miniature glyphs into a neat little pile. You place one downstairs on the fridge, holding it in place with a magnet, and put the rest into a pocket for later use.
Now, the only thing you feel you're missing is better insight. You currently have no idea in how many thaums you're producing, nor how many primes you're storing, and by your reckoning, it should be a few thousand for the past two hours of fiddling about. You go back to the readme and sure enough, there's a passage about feedback and information. It involves polymorphing various materials into jewelry items that vary in color depending on the amount of primes and thaums available, but it should cost just around a hundred for each, so you scrounge up some copper wiring from the garage and gravel from the walkway outside.
You print a desired enchantment and watch it while holding some stone and wiring in your hand. Apparently you had enough primes available, because within a few seconds, the stone, the plastic and copper in the wire melted, swirled in the air an inch above your palm, and morphed into a mundane brass bracelet containing sixteen embedded sockets with small gems in them.
"What the fuck. I'm a fucking wizard, harry," you think to yourself and smile sheepishly, looking at the product in your hands. when you pull it on, you see the gems change color from green to grey in apparently random order, the one furthest to the right blinking every second or so with the others popping off at random. You guess it's time to learn how to count binary.
You repeat the process for the second, thaum measuring glyph and get a ring with twelve tiny gems spread around it, and put it on your finger. Unsurprisingly, the gem furthest to the right turns pink while the rest remain colorless.
And for the final test, you open up the readme again and read up on how exactly the laser pointer is supposed to work.
"How to use laser pointer wand: Works as the program, but settings are adjusted mentally and target is only what the laser is pointed at. Point at a wall and think of 'options' and you'll get the current settings."
You pick up the laser pointer and point at a wall, and sure enough, text with various options floats onto it while you keep the button pressed. "awareness self: no modifier, awareness others: no modifier, current desired outcome: none selected," and a few more. You think for a moment and click again, and see "Awareness self: partial[new and old memories, good quality], Awareness others: [overwritten, good quality], current desired outcome: turn non-organic item to gold. Estimated cost: 13 primes per ounce." You pull out an old shoe from a wardrobe, point and click at it with your laser, and almost instantly it changes into solid gold.
Well, no more worries about making a living, you think to yourself as you feel the now twenty pound solid gold shoe in your hand. You manage to bend a lace like it was chewing gum, so you assume it's pretty much pure gold.
Now, you have created a item of incredible power, but you don't really have any idea what to do about it. You get distracted by a distant moan from your sister's room as she's probably getting dicked by Bradley. You think to yourself she's not as picky as she claims to be, and you refocus on the task ahead. What are you going to do next?
What will you use these powers for?
