My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est:I pestered Powree with an overly detailed description of the mechanism because I had a very clear mental idea regarding its design. I was happy to have found a way to put Kali into the spotlight one last time.

Liquid magic, red and blue. Tubes that hold that magic, can speed it to 742 kilometres, and probably higher if they wanted to. The soul sphere, which has contents, like it’s coconut milk or something. Ability to create temporal vibration, and in two-type liquid magic.
So if they only needed a soul sphere’s contents, why Lillith? Why teach her a timeSS breaking spell if this super setup is what they were working on all along? I’m sure that everyone would suggest this be used as a very fancy espresso maker, and they wouldn’t be wrong.
Liquids cannot be compressed.
@ MaxArt:
They can. Just not very much.
But this is “liquid magic”, anyhow; who knows what its physical properties are or even if it’s a physical material at all and not some visual metaphor for a form magic can take.
@ Vicious Sand:
The soul sphere still holds Lilith’s soul, extracted after she learned to break time suspension shields, a necessary component for the process. The machine is probably capable of greater precision and/or exertion of energy than Lilith would be if told to just stand in front of the Source and cast the spell – one could view it as a really, really over-engineered magic staff made for a single purpose.
@ Vicious Sand:
Almost right — you’re on the right track. But everything makes sense once you bring Lily’s soul sphere into it, because it’s really about the knowledge of the spell. You need to look at Sans Soul Sphaere. That’s the key fracture point in the story: Sans isn’t actually needed, and the story makes no sense without it.
But that assumes that learned spells are stored in the soul, not just for the Yellow Book, but for all spellcasters. Has that ever been said anywhere? So Eldor isn’t only hitting the tss around the source with the tss-breaker, he’s sending in everything that Lillith has ever learned too. Seems like he’s trying to hit the source with an arrowhead by putting it in a bag of gravel.
Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.
@ Vicious Sand:
Since Eldor is a centuries-old archmage and we aren’t, we can only assume that he knows better what he’s doing. Presumably by either having constructed the soul sphere in a specific way, manipulating it after the extraction, or by the workings of his mechanism and its components, he’s able to use only the parts of Lilith’s soul that’s needed for breaking the shield. We don’t need detailed blueprints and a two-semester course in advanced spellcraft to believe that the machine indeed does what it should – at least in theory.
