Can you give me an example of one?

[General is all well and good, but if he can't picture it the information is less helpful.]

[abyssalflames]

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.

[crouching_sin]

I see. So a failed concept... but why keep it around once its creation was perfected? Unless there was more you were studying from it...

[abyssalflames]

The concept does not cease to be, when a creation is perfected. And as you have said, in failure sometimes there can prove to be useful information.

[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.

[abyssalflames]

It is second nature, to us. But you are correct.

[Admittedly, it helps that there's a whole lot of bureaucracy surrounding it all.]

[crouching_sin]

Does anyone ever physically build things, rather than make them with magic? - Aether, I suppose, if you don't consider that 'magic'.

[abyssalflames]

It is not common. But it has been known to happen.

[crouching_sin]

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.

[abyssalflames]

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.]

[crouching_sin]

That's good, at least. Still, if you're in need of anything you know where to find me.

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

[abyssalflames]

I do.

[Whether or not be actually will reach out is a question for another day.]
