[Absent any other method of travel, Lahabrea is forced to arrive by foot. But he doesn't so much as ask how Naoya has arrived. There is instead, simply a nod as he arrives.]
I would ask that such questions you may have are saved until after. The spell requires some amount of focus.
[He hates it. Though at least he's getting used to walking.
Still, there's a nod and then he sets to casting. And it is immediately apparent why he has asked for a place with a certain amount of space, as a sprawling - and intricate - sigil spreads itself across the ground. And only once it has finally, fully, materialized does what appears to be diamond wrought of magic appear hovering above it.
And then, with a snap and clank, chains rise up to enclose the hovering shape - and, presumably, anything that might have been within it.]
[He studies the sigil with great interest - there's no point in asking him to demonstrate if he doesn't do his best to commit the thing to memory.]
[He stays silent as requested, watching the diamond. So like a cage... he doesn't quite jump at the sound of the chains but it's surprising that it still needs to be done. After a moment, he takes out his Oracle and snaps a picture of it - keeping the shutter sound off, of course. It's not the best quality picture but it's better than nothing.]
[He tilts his head towards Lahabrea. He's waiting for his cue.]
[There's one last gesture from Lahabrea, sharp and twisting, and then the whole of the thing sort of... collapses in on itself before even the glyphs fade away. And though Lahabrea does not actually say anything, the brief nod that follows is likely meant to say that questions may now be asked.]
[He nods and approaches a little bit, though doesn't get too close - Lahabrea seems to be the type of person who would appreciate more personal space.]
What sort of creatures would you bind with this? It seems a rather complex spell, so I imagine it wasn't for something you could simply slap an iron chain on.
One of the more well-known would be the Phoinix. Though the concept was later perfected, the one that resides in Pandaemonium is a being of fiery wrath. Physically, it appears as a bird with three heads, all of which would sooner see the world turned to ash than offer the restorative abilities the final iteration of the concept boasts.
[There's something of a lightbulb moment as he puts together what Lahabrea is saying and what he's heard from Hythlodaeus.]
So the concept is the blueprint that you build from. The creation is the end product. I see now. ... It must be very difficult keeping such things categorized.
Is it simply because you can just wave your hand and do it? Though with concentration, I mean...
[He thinks for a moment and tries to think this through. It seems... lazy, but maybe just because he's not used to it. Wouldn't he do the same if he could?]
I imagine having to do things manually must be a difficult adjustment. I've had to do it that way for several thousand years, so if you do need help with those kinds of skills do let me know.
Not all is done with magic. I will not deny that it has been difficult, to be removed from that which I would consider mine. But much of day to day life has yet remained similar.
[Except for cooking. That he's still struggling with.]

[And indeed, by the time Lahabrea gets there Naoya is waiting around. Did he use magic to get there? No, but he's not telling Lahabrea that.]

All right. I will wait until you say so - I wouldn't want to interrupt something like that.

It was created for use on the creatures housed within Pandaemonium. Creations deemed too dangerous to be let loose on the star.

[He'd rather stay on the good side of someone so powerful - especially if he gets his creation magic back like Hythlodaeus has done.]
