Evin then noticed that as the orb moved about, the sky above started shining brighter from one side and a bright fake-looking sun appeared on the horizon. It quickly traveled until it beca almost adjacent to the real sun which was shining outside Evin's shadow, at which point Snyden stopped pushing the orb.
"Now close off the window to the outside World and see the second sun shine on your dinsion," Snyden instructed with a smile.
Evin complied and the outside world that was almost always visible from inside his shadow suddenly disappeared, the blue sky above turning completely dark, except of course the artificial light source that shone in its stead.
Evin really felt like the second sun was so kind of lamplight of a giant god, and that he and the others were just sitting on top of its desk, powerless and insignificant. Long story short, it wasn't a very pleasant feeling, to say the least. He looked at Snyden, wondering if this was normal, but the latter had a disturbed frown on his face as well.
Evin probably would've felt fine if it was completely dark, but the eerie white light of the artificial second sun was much too disturbing for him to feel comfortable.
"I guess it all feels so wrong because your dinsion is too deeply connected to the Dark World" Snyden comnted.
"Can you fix this sohow?" Evin asked.
"Guess we can have a custom colored on made for you, but it will cost a about 500 gold more," Snyden said.
"Take the money from the Cosmics," Evin shrugged and reconnected his shadow to the outside world.
The familiar blue sky returned to the sky, and everyone seed to sigh a breath of relief. Evin then made the vision blurry and distorted, so the people inside couldn't see what was happening outside. If one looked up, they would see what was similar to a shattered sky filled with a bunch of blurry polygons.
"Let's see if the other artifacts are working properly," Snyden said and pulled out the rest of the things that Evin ordered.
Thankfully, the artifact for boosting the dinsions' soil growth and resources worked without problems, and the one for rain worked without issues as well. After they finished testing everything, Evin put the core back into the ss of illusions.
Evin learned many tricks while he was playing around with his Dinsion, with him being able to freely move the Core around and also his ability to add a filter to the sky. In reality, he probably didn't need the artificial sun that badly, but he reckoned it was nice to have the option.
"Alright, I'll go out and reach out to my contact," Snyden said and shouted to his crew: "Keep on working, boys and girls!"
The two went outside Evin's shadow, and Snyden started fiddling with so communication device.
"Do you want to wait at my place?" Evin offered.
"Sure, but we might have to co back here, since he'll need to send the item through a portal of so sorts. Unless, of course, you have sothing to do in your ho," Snyden said.
"I might need to in a bit," Evin explained, and the Snyden agreed to wait in the Tribe Grounds.
Since the two of them could fly, they ca at Ekhri Tribe in a few minutes and walked to Nasst's mansion in another twenty. Snyden explained that he'd already made the order, but it might take a day or two for the Artificer to finish it. Evin then put Snyden inside his shadow again and went to Nasst's room.
"Have you finished that personal matter you were talking about?" Nasst asked.
"Almost. But I should be free for the day." Evin shrugged.
"That's good enough. It should be enough ti for you to get acquainted with Doctor Gizel and decide on the general plan of things," Nasst said smilingly.
"Alright,"
"Wait in the Test room, I'll bring her to you."
As Evin waited with so excitent, he thought of the miraculously productive month he just went through. Perhaps it was the 10-day break, or perhaps he'd just suddenly turned god-mode, but he had gotten good enough to create combat portals on the sa level as an average orange-star Cosmic, which were the quarter-core equivalents of the Felines.
Although he still had a lot of work ahead of him, with energy and material portals, according to Rith, it was a very impressive achievent nonetheless.
Moreover, just like promised himself, Evin focused almost solely on his passive defenses made of Ti Energy Beams and finally saw so light at the end of the tunnel. He'd learned how to bend the Beams after two weeks, and after another two, he'd learned how to keep it around his body at all tis. The task could be compared to literally bending light through one's willpower. A monuntal achievent indeed.
But, similarly to his situation with portals, he had a lot of work ahead of him. First of all, he had to make it target spells only, as Ti energy had a nasty habit of making everything around it decay and rot. If he were to use them as is, he would be slowly but surely killing everyone around him. He also had to learn how to keep five of them around him at all tis as well, so there was that.
In any case, his gains during this month was great. Just like he guessed, it was best if he could simply focus on two or maybe three things at a ti and forget about the rest. If he got stuck with one thing, he could tackle the other and vice versa.
'After I'm done with the portals and passive defenses, I'll visit the Vulpine Mother and focus on my Dark Magic. While doing that I guess I'll try to beco competent enough with Somaturgy,' Evin thought excitedly.
As Evin was happily thinking of his future, he heard the footsteps of two people walking to the test room.
'We et at last,' Evin wiped the smirk off his face and expectedly looked at the door.
