    Zarakkan teleported in on the lowest floor in front of the door to Ursula's lab. He knocked.

    Unfortunately for him:
    A) The floor of Ursula's Lab is inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have Ursula's special key card
    B) Ursula is not down there.

    I do believe you meant Ursula's OFFICE on the UPPERMOST floor.

    "But where are our manners, I am Elio Fabrizio. This is my apprentice. Feel free to use him in whatever little experiment you like, just explain it to him slowly."

    The apprentice gives a little look of disdain at that remark. "There you go calling me slow again. My name is Romeo." he tells Natalia.
    Pleased to meet you. For the head of the building, see Ursula, top floor. For the department, I've become the de facto leader here.

    Sixth Floor

    "You are? Perfect!" the old Mage releases his apprentice to shake her hand, quite vigorously if she accepts it. "What projects are currently being worked on? It would be a pleasure to take part!"

    Romeo, meanwhile, is busy adjusting his collar, but smiles at his old master's almost childish enthusiam to learning or doing something new with magic. "Yeah. Master has more experience than you could imagine. And I... Well I make a good crash test dummy."

    Well, there goes Sarah's hope for some kind of cue, or help with the process. And she's certainly not going to ask for something like that!

    Thank you. Where do I... -Wait, there they are.

    Still expertly ignoring everyone in the room other than the receptionist, Sarah picks up an application and immediately adds it to the pile of completed applications, having already been filled out through the use of magic.

    Name: Sarah the Healer
    Age: 23
    Title: Mage
    Department: ...I don't see my specialization on the list. Breakthrough, maybe?
    Magical Skills: I can repair virtually any degree of Physical Damage short of death, and I can brew rather potent healing potions.
    Magical Flaws: I never really cultivated my offensive magic, and am generally not well-versed outside of the Creation School.
    Extra: Nothing in particular. My healing services are available as long as I'm around, free of charge. I just need to be alerted.
    It was a minor debate in her mind, but she decided that it would be best not to mention her self-training in Blood Magic. She didn't know if the Dark Arts were acceptable here, and she decided that perhaps it would be best if she left that part of herself with MURDER.

    Entrance

    A gray-haired man wearing what appears to be a large suit of heavily ornate bronze armor tries to enter Arcanus. He appears to be unarmed and carries what appears to be a covered dish. If he isn't stopped, he'll head over to the reception desk. "Hello? I'd like to meet with who's in charge if all possible. I can wait as long as necessary."

    It's a component that shapes the spell based on power.

    Ursula's Office
    Unfortunately, Zarakkan will find himself talking to a door. You didn't think Ursula would let people interrupt her by teleporting directly into her office.

    Breakthroughs is on Floor 10.
    Jeanine tells Sarah.

    She then turns to the armored newcomer.
    And why would you like to meet with her?

    The air around the battery is dark, dead, depleted of all other energy as though normal magic is repulsed by the Object's presence, a tiny point of silence within the Nexus's innate magical field. In contrast, the battery itself is a radiant point of light, so brilliant that the Object's shape is obscured, merely a tiny, radiant sun the burns with seemingly infinite energy to the eye of one attuned to magic. This is no conjurers toy, nay, not even an artifact. This is something old, unholy, and very, very dangerous.

    "As a token of goodwill, our commander has agreed to loan you one of his artifacts to study, for as long as we are allowed to stay and study here, as well as a two month period beyond should we be forced to leave without notice." The shorter one adds, seemingly oblivious of what his brother holds.

    "So the stronger the spell the stronger the shaping?" Elio asks.

    "Like a two becomes a twenty, and a twenty becomes two hundred?" Romeo adds.

    "Maybe it would be best if we were simply shown."

    Very well. Follow me, please.
    *picks up some runes*
    In my right hand, an air rune. Here in my left, a mind rune. Before I begin, let me say that just because it uses the mind doesn't make it too powerful. Most people can't use all of their brain. Also, for anyone who actually can, the maximum mind rune strength is low.
    *smash/merge, mini-hurricane*
    So, anyone want to volunteer, or should I just cast this elsewhere?

    "Aah, I see what you were getting at. Supplimenting a spell with a lesser one for additional effect. I'm no runic expert, but I can see applications with this sort of thing. As for a volunteer..." Elio takes a short hop of a teleport away from Romeo.

    The apprentice gives an exasperated sigh. "You may fire when ready ma'am."

    Natalia waves her arms and body around, then shoots a burst of air. Romeo should be unharmed, but a bit chilled and blasted back a few decimeters.

    Air magic doesn't do too much damage, but if I used a higher-powered catalyst, his frontal bones would've shifted and cracked, and his skin torn a bit. Not to offend.

    Romeo's hair and robe are blasted back by the wind. "I'm not offended, that was actually pretty impressive for what should be a weak spell." He also seems oddly unaffected by the chill. He gives a low exhale and wisp of chilly air escapes.

    "You seem to have it down pretty well. I suppose from here it's just trial and error for what works best?"

    Basically, yeah. Oh, and for the power thing, a contained "bubble" of air shoots toward you, as well as stray elements of air caught in the way. The bubble explodes, and the momentum of the air brings it forward.

    Floor 6

    "Alright," Elio shrugs, "But try not to be too unimpressed. Runes are far from my usual magic." Elio reaches into his sleeves and pulls out two runes. One of each. He imitates Natalia well enough, tales a deep breath, and releases his spell. Elio's skill in air magic greatly outshines any ability he has in mind magic or runes, so the "bubble" isnt nearly as clean and air flies about the room. The greater amount of it does blow into Natalia. It is quite a lot more air as well.

    That's the best I've ever seen an untrained wizard use. Though it looks like I'll have to clean this up.

    Wow! Jeanine is doing the absolute minimum to answer Sarah's questions! This is going to be a steep learning curve!

    Sarah, a bit confused but determined to actually do something legal as a job, simply heads to Floor 10. Assuming there's some kind of directions, anyway. If there aren't, she'll blindly wander, hoping to see some kind of sign!

    ...And if it really comes to that, she'll just ask directions.
