My thanks, as always. I didn't want to presume you were unoccupied.
With what we thus far know about the unique energy type in this realm, I've begun to wonder how anima may compare to the energies you and I are more familiar with. Not in capability, rather its tangibility. The potential to be molded... or contained.
I feel like there may be some aspect of containing it in the magical items that we have encountered here. They often seem to directly affect the production of anima, or at least influence people into creating more. It could be an effect by the energy to create more of itself.
Which in itself is interesting to ponder: if the energy innately tries to fuel its own creation. If the stability of this realm, such as it currently is, depends upon anima then it could be valuable to determine if anima has that sort of "survival" quality to it.
But putting that avenue aside for a moment. We've seen there are items — and biological sources — that influence in one manner or another anima. If such influence is possible, then could it not be drawn a step further? Perhaps something that could draw the energy to it and store it, or simple containment itself in a manner similar to how one might contain Light.
Theoretically, yes. I do not see why not. We know the Hive capture Light in crystals for their rituals. It would be a matter of finding something with the correct resonance to store anima.
[ There's a slight shift in her tone as his words invoke a bit of an 'aha!' moment. ]
I thought I might be overlooking something obvious, and I was.
Admittedly I had been ruminating on something with a touch more finesse. Akin to the manner of the Well's internal storage. But with the state of the native tech here... yes, I think something more similar to Hive methods could be a much easier avenue to attempt.
