After concluding his experiments with the gauntlet Nick got rid of all the leftovers while feeding the souls of the still living creatures to a single rat before extracting the now very powerful soul and using it to empower the anklet he wears on his leg. Nick hadn't forgotten this particular piece of protective gear but refused to use it unless it was an emergency since the longer he went with...

"Rune you will be taking care of most of the battles since the strongest thing here should at most be slightly stronger than you." I say seriously "Char!" he voices his understanding. I didn't even need to tell Vulcan it's role as the only one left was guarding myself and Tank since we couldn't battle a pokemon directly. Tank less because of it's level and more from it's species limiting it to ...

Nick decided to put any further experiments in that particular regard in his long list of thing to do later before moving onto his next and admittedly highly illegal experiments , trying to turn the mundane magical. One of the three pillars of magic was the soul so Nick was curious if it was possible to add magic to a mundane creatures soul and then put the soul back into the creature in order ...

The way he intended to do this was a bit special however as he wanted to shift the true shape of the soul much like one would edit an image or sentence. Nick wanted to remove the parts that felt redundant and shift that mass to what he saw as improvements. The beetles for example lacked magical abilities and were basically at the bottom of the food chain for animals. He wanted to see if it was ...

I was here to talk to the old man about having him sail me to Dewford so I could register my challenge towards the end of the month. After that I needed to go find Steven in the cave system near the city that he should be in at the moment to deliver the letter from Mr. stone. Then I needed to go to Slateport to track down the traffickers since the other stuff on my list of stuff to do should on...

This time Nick took the soul from the body and killed the body before immediately stuffing the soul back into the body rather than letting the death set in first. Unlike the first time the beetle didn't twitch or anything after the soul was replaced and even went about what it was doing previous until it's body lost all energy and the death state it was in caught up to and dispersed the soul. '...

Nick put the gauntlet in his realm before leaving the workshop to go find a few lesser creatures like rats and beetles to use as test subjects. He obviously wasn't going to walk around with something like that in the open as literally everyone will be able to see it and get curious. The professors would definitely notices that something was wrong with it almost immediately. It would only take a...

It was a strange idea that Nick had out of nowhere but as he said would be of great help to him if he could succeed. The idea was simple really , an enchanted item with the ability to extract souls from a living body and let him use them as raw material or fuel for his creations. Celebrimbor was also correct that if it didn't come out correctly then it would indeed be a tool of the darkest sort...

These stones were barely the size of a pebble but seemed to glow with an eerie pale light. "These small stones are the congealed magical energy taken from a certain star that shines from the sky at night.

This entire time since the creature escaped from it's prison it had been moving slowly through the sea as it hunted down the magical beasts that dwelled within. All magic was it's food and nothing was an exception so it was only after it stopped finding prey that it's hunger finally led it to the north eastern shores of the british isles. There it came across it's first wizard after it left the...

Nick scoffed at that "I can't even reveal my own transformation at the moment , why would I reveal yours and make people suspicious?

'Whoa! That's disorienting as all hell!' Nick thought as his mind registered the complete shift in environment. The snow falling from the sky melted on contact with his feathers as his body actively radiated a great deal of heat on it's own.

Nick was confident that he would finish the ritual without any trouble thanks to his preparations. Still he wanted to be in his best condition for the day he started the transformation and thus didn't do anything that taxed him in any way. He simply spent the next three days hanging out with his friends and helping them with their homework and personal projects. Ron for example was experimentin...

Once I stored my loot I headed back down to the wreck to see what other goodies I could find. The answer to that question by the way was not that many. I absolutely SCOURED the entire shipwreck at a surface level and only found three hyper potions , a money stash in a watertight bag , four full heals and an unhappy Clamperl that decided to shack up in the wreck. The Clamperl was mostly unhappy ...

That is what Nick had been doing for most of the month after the first blitzball match ended and he had made several great strides in his digestion of Slytherins recorded knowledge. The first of them was that he had gained a more pronounced understanding of the ancient spell casting method that was used at that time. It was similar to how the celebrimbor style used his will and knowledge to enc...

In the morning when I woke up to the salty sea air and gentle sound of the waves I smiled a small amount before returning to normal and getting up to start my daily workout. I didn't wake up my pokemon since they would likely wake up on their own soon enough. The exception to that was Tank who was awake on guard duty. "Morning Tank , anything worth reporting?" I asked and the sturdy bug shook i...

To be more specific they both knew that the trick to dealing with the press was to get them in a controlled environment.

There were a few other types of energy that had interesting uses and implications but unfortunately they either were too limited to be of use or so close to magic in how they operated that he wasn't willing to risk death to integrate them into himself , at least not until he become a nigh unkillable daedric realm lord.

Nick went straight to the chamber of secrets or more specifically Slytherins library after leaving Dumbledores office.
