It was not a common day in the Kingdom of Navaleon when House Darsha gates opened with complete ceremonial splendor **and the sort of showy coordination that indicated someone had rehearsed this routine for weeks**. The sun had not yet risen over the eastern hills, and already the estate hummed with urgency that **seemed suspiciously like the ordered frenzy of a military endeavor masquerading as an expedition of the family sort**. Horses were groomed with **the fervor of individuals getting ready for a state visit**, banners raised with **magical aid that caused everything to flutter at exactly the right dramatic angle**, and saddle-charms polished to **nearly magical shine that was certainly real magic and quite likely more expensive than most homes**.
**[GOOD MORNING, CREATOR. TODAY'S MISSION: FIRST OFFICIAL FIELD RECONNAISSANCE OF LOCAL ECONOMIC SYSTEMS. EDUCATIONAL VALUE: MAXIMUM. POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTAL REVOLUTIONARY INSIGHTS: HIGH.]**
Within the nursery, Sharath—now approaching three months of age but **far more intellectually advanced than his chronological age would indicate**—was being dressed up like **a teeny-tiny diplomat getting ready for his début in world affairs**.
**[WARDROBE ANALYSIS: YOUR ATTIRE COMPRISES PROTECTIVE SPELLS, STATUS IDENTIFICATION RUNES, AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A MAGIC COMMUNICATION ARRAY IN HIDE UNDER DECORATIVE EMBROIDERY. YOUR PARENTS ARE MORE OR LESS DRESSING YOU IN MEDIEVAL INTELLECTUAL CLOTHING.]**
"About the hat?" Rani inquired with the **worried face of someone who'd become highly opinionated concerning infant headgear in her time as chief baby-management expert**.
"It's cute," said another maid, pinning a small cloak at the shoulders of the baby with **the deference normally used to handle state robes**. "He is like a proper young master."
"It **looks like it's attempting to devour his head,**" said the steward, who had **evidently been waiting for a moment to express his reservations regarding the practical application of ceremonial baby fashion**.
**[FASHION CRITICISM ANALYSIS: THE STEWARD IS RIGHT. THAT HAT IS BOTH ARCHITECTURALLY UNSTABLE AND TEPORTENIOUSLY DANGEROUS TO CRANIAL COMFORT.]**
Sharath, wrapped in silk and **strategic dignity that managed to both make him look adorable and kind of scary**, gurgled in a voice that quite definitely said **Get this thing off me before I form some very strong opinions about whoever came up with the idea**.
**[TRANSLATION CONFIRMED: THAT WAS CLASSICALLY A COMPLAINT ABOUT OPPRESSION VIA HATS.]**
The hat remained, but **with obvious reluctance on all sides**.
*Three months old, and already losing fashion accessory arguments. This is not good news for my future career as a diplomat.*
**[CREATOR, CONSIDER THIS FINE PRACTICE FOR FUTURE POLITICAL NEGOTIATIONS IN WHICH YOU'LL NEED TO ACCEPT UNPLEASANT COMPROMISES FOR THE GREATER GOOD.]**
## **The Great Adventure: Economic Intelligence Gathering Disguised as Baby Tourism**
This day, Sharath was to accompany his parents on an official visit to the trading town of **Kavrenn's Crossing**—a lively commercial center just outside of House Darsha's borders that **held the promise of an interesting case study in medieval economics and perhaps magical industrial uses**. Officially, the journey was to **"greet the merchant's guild"** and **"inspect tax compliance."** Unofficially, Lord Varundar wished to **watch the supply chains and judge regional economic stability**, and Lady Ishvari had proclaimed it **"a good day for their son to see how real people lived."**
**[MISSION PARAMETERS: OBSERVE, ANALYZE, AND DOCUMENT LOCAL ECONOMIC SYSTEMS WITHOUT APPEARING TO PERFORM PROFESSIONAL-LEVEL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS FROM INSIDE A BASSINET.]**
Sharath was **thrilled**.
Not for the sun, the throngs, or even the **gourmet food that would surely be served with high ceremony and likely taste like someone had cast spells on vegetables to develop robust opinions regarding their own preparation**.
But because for the first time, he would get exposed to **workshops. Equipment. Untreated materials. Supply chain logistics**.
**Industrial infrastructure. Production processes. Economic distribution channels.**
This wasn't merely a **carriage ride**.
This was an **in-depth field study of applied medieval technology with concurrent evaluation of optimization potential**.
**[CREATOR, YOUR EXCITEMENT LEVELS ARE GETTING CLOSE TO DETECTABLE LIMITS. SUGGEST MAINTAINING PROPER INFANT EMOTIONAL RESPONSES.]**
*Right. Less "economic analyst doing industrial spying" and more "baby in awe of shiny moving things."*
**[VERY GOOD. HOWEVER I SHOULD NOTE THAT YOUR "BABY IN AWE OF SHINY THINGS" VERSION STILL KIND OF RESEMBLES "PROFESSIONAL WITH SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT."]**
## **The Market Survey: An Infant's Tutorial in Economic Analysis**
As their caravan drove into the cobblestone market, Sharath looked out from beside his **cushioned bassinet** (which was **most certainly spell-protected with more protective magic than some military gear**), **skillfully keeping a look of wide-eyed innocence** while taking in every aspect with **the rigorous thoroughness of a person doing thorough industrial reconnaissance**.
**[INITIATING ECONOMIC SYSTEMS ANALYSIS. DOCUMENTING SUPPLY CHAINS, PRICING MECHANISMS, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES.]**
Vendors shouted over each other in **melodic local dialects**, offering bolts of wool, bundles of dried herbs, smoked fish, and **enchanted buttons that sparkled with the kind of casual magic that suggested this society had integrated supernatural technology into everyday commerce**. Goats on flower garlands danced beside spice wagons with the self-assured choreography of animals well aware that they were part of the economic machinery, and children played with kites resembling wyverns that periodically emitted real sparks.
**[OBSERVATION: MAGIC IS BUILT INTO CONSUMER GOODS ON A BASE LEVEL. THIS ASSUMES Advanced magic-industrial infrastructure.]
It had a scent of **pepper, sawdust, iron, roasted honeyfruit, and the residual aura of economic boom with ordered pandemonium**.
And everywhere—**everywhere**—there were **tools**.
**Anvils upon which hammers rang with magically amplified precision. Bellows blowing with rhythmic efficiency. Rope drawn through pulleys that used mechanical advantage systems. Kilns smoking in controlled, productive patterns. Crates piled high with iron bars, clay bricks, bundles of copper wiring that implied someone knew something about electrical uses even in a medieval context.**
**[TECHNOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: MORE ADVANCED THAN ANTICIPATED. THEY'VE COMBINED MAGICAL ENHANCEMENT WITH SENSIBLE ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES.]**
Sharath was **barely able to contain himself**.
*It's not refined by today's standards, but it's logically structured. This is the framework of a supply chain that someone has contemplated. Someone gets logistics.*
**[CREATOR, I'M SEEING OPTIMIZATION POTENTIAL OVER HERE, OVER THERE, AND OVER THERE AS WELL. SHALL I SUMMARIZE A COMPLETE IMPROVEMENT ANALYSIS?]**
*Certainly. But quietly. And recall—I'm allegedly a three-month-old infant, not an analyst evaluating industry.*
**[UNDERSTOOD. DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WHEN YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO IMPLEMENT REVOLUTIONARY IMPROVEMENTS WITHOUT CAUSING WIDESPREAD PANIC ABOUT INFANT ECONOMIC GENIUS.]**
## **❖ The Blacksmith's Forge: A Case Study in Medieval Industrial Engineering**
Their initial destination was the workshop of **Master Ilvar**, a graying but **obviously seasoned smith whose arm was as thick as most tree trunks and who walked with confident precision as one who'd perfected his art**. His workshop was under a **sloped wood roof designed for maximum ventilation**, shaded from the sun but **open sufficiently for ventilation management that implied that some person knew about thermodynamics**.
**[STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS: WELL-LAYED-OUT WORKSPACE. EFFECTIVE HEAT CONTROL. GOOD FLOW OF WORK. Whoever designed this knew their industrial engineering principles.]**
The air **glimmered with contained heat**. **Sparks flashed in organized patterns that suggested well-placed anvils and safety measures**.
**[SAFETY ASSESSMENT: IMPRESSIVELY GOOD FOR MEDIEVAL TIMES. LOW FIRE DANGER. METHODICAL TOOL LAYOUT. ADEQUATE VENTILATION.]**
Master Ilvar bowed respectfully as Lord Varundar approached, but it was the **bow of one who was confident in his skillset and not one intimidated by nobles**.
"**My lord. You are welcome to my forge. I was informed the young master would be stopping by today.**"
He bestowed a **conspiratorial wink** on Sharath and continued, "**I do hope the lad enjoys a bit of smoke and fire. Most nobles think it too rough for their tastes, but this little one. he's got the look of a man who likes **good work**.**"
**[PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT: PROFESSIONAL PRIDE, CONFIDENT IN SKILLS, RESPECTFUL BUT NOT SERVILE. THIS IS A CRAFTSMAN, NOT JUST A LABORER.]**
Sharath gurgled **appreciatively**, trying to convey **infant fascination while mentally cataloguing every aspect of the operation**.
*Only if it comes with comprehensive data analysis and possibly some insights into magical metallurgy applications.*
**[CREATOR, YOUR "INFANT FASCINATION" STILL LOOKS LIKE "PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION." THE SMITH IS DEFINITELY NOTICING YOUR UNUSUAL LEVEL OF ATTENTION.]**
Master Ilvar began to work, **describing his technique with the devotion of a man who loved his trade and loved to teach**
"We begin with bog iron. Excellent local source—high quality, trustworthy supply chain. Reduce it with charcoal and broken down lime rock for purification. Drive out impurities by hammering and keep structural integrity intact. Then fold and cool through controlled temperature control. Not perfect steel by ancient standards, but superb for horseshoes, hinges, and the occasional noble dagger that needs to look impressive but still function."
**[PROCESS ANALYSIS: SOUND UNDERSTANDING OF METALLURGY. GOOD Sourcing of MATERIALS. GOOD PURIFICATION PROCESSES. QUALITY CONTROL PROTOCOLS].**
Sharath observed **everything** with the **intense concentration of a man doing industrial spying while incognito as an infant**.
The **charcoal ratios**—**tuned for maximum heat with minimum waste**.
The **folding rhythm**—**uniform timing that spoke of muscle memory and precision**.
The **rate at which the tongs cooled between hammer blows**—**calculated for best metal manipulation**.
**[EFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT: 78% OPTIMAL FOR AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, BUT SURPRISINGLY SOPHISTICATED.]**
*Yield efficiency: excellent. Tool ergonomics: well engineered to medieval norms. Safety: surprisingly good. Room for improvement: moderate, not extreme.*
**[CREATOR, THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ADVANCED THAN YOUR INITIAL PROJECTIONS SUGGESTED.]**
He **mentally filed the entire process** in a new corner of his mind entitled **Advanced Medieval Metallurgy: Comprehensive Analysis**.
In the background, a young apprentice was **keeping the bellows in operation with smooth, effective pumping that showed proper training and awareness of airflow demands**. The **temperature was consistent, the forge running at maximum efficiency**.
**[APPRENTICE PERFORMANCE: EXCELLENT. CORRECT TRAINING PROTOCOLS EVIDENTLY IN PLACE.]**
Sharath scowled, but **in a contemplative manner, not critical**.
*They're not pumping manually inefficiently. Someone has been showing them correct technique. The airflow is regulated, the temperature is consistent. This is well done.*
**[REVISION TO ORIGINAL ASSESSMENT: THESE INDIVIDUALS KNOW THEIR TECHNOLOGY. THEY'VE MAXIMIZED WITHIN THEIR PARAMETER CONSTRAINTS.]**
Lady Ishvari, observing her son **gaze with the sort of intent stare that implied either profound fascination or the beginnings of supernatural intelligence**, leaned forward to Lord Varundar and whispered, "**He never sits so still during harp recitals. Observe how he's tracking every gesture.**"
**[ALERT: PARENTAL NOTICE OF ATYPICAL BEHAVIOR PATTERNS. SUGGEST DIVERSIONARY INFANT ACTIVITIES.]**
Varundar smiled with **paternal pride accompanied by sincere interest**. "**Evidently we've discovered his art form. Although I'm not certain if that's comforting or disturbing.**"
**[DIPLOMATIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS: YOUR FATHER IS PLEASED BUT SLIGHTLY CONCERNED ABOUT RAISING A CHILD WHO IS MORE INTERESTED IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES THAN CONVENTIONAL ENTERTAINMENT.]**
*At least they believe it's art appreciation instead of professional critique. That's. something.*
## **❖ The Market Walk: Economic Systems in Action**
Then, the family walked along the **main market lane**, where **trade ran smoothly like a well-organized river**—and, unlike most rivers, this one **had proper flow management and organizational structure**.
**[ECONOMIC ANALYSIS INITIATED. MONITORING PRICING MECHANISMS, SUPPLY CHAIN LOGISTICS, AND CUSTOMER INTERACTION PATTERNS.]**
Sharath observed the **pricing habits of the vendors** with the **systematic attention of someone who'd spent his previous life analyzing market economics**. It quickly became clear that while **haggling was still encouraged and practically sacred**, there were **underlying patterns and consistency that suggested organized pricing structures**.
**[PRICING ANALYSIS: FLUCTUATION BASED ON SUPPLY, DEMAND, CUSTOMER APPEARANCE, AND NEGOTIATION SKILLS. HOWEVER, BASELINE PRICES ARE STANDARDIZED. SOMEONE HAS IMPLEMENTED BASIC ECONOMIC REGULATIONS.]**
*Not entirely standardized prices, but there are underlying mechanisms. They're not flying entirely blind.*
**[CREATOR, I'M SEEING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES THAT INDICATE SOMEONE WITH ECONOMIC BACKGROUND HAS BEEN CONSULTING WITH THIS MARKET SYSTEM.]**
A few vendors had **visible scales and standardized weights**. **Bartering was still prevalent in outer stalls, but currency-based trading was more prevalent than anticipated**. Some shops had **simple receipt enchantments and basic tally ledgers**.
**[INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT: PROGRESSING TO HIGH LEVELS OF STANDARDIZATION AND RECORD-KEEPING. SOMEONE HAS BEEN ROLLING OUT ECONOMIC MODERNIZATION.]**
Sharath almost **gurgled in excitement** but was able to translate it into **appropriate infant appreciation noises**.
*They're not flying blind anymore. Someone has been educating them inventory systems, record-keeping, forecasting. This is real economic development.*
**[CREATOR, ARE YOU TAKING CREDIT FOR MYSTERIOUS ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE IMPLEMENTED AS A THREE-MONTH-OLD INFANT?]**
*No, but I'm definitely noting for future use when I'm old enough to fake that these are original ideas.*
Even better—**standardized units of measure**. Flour was sold **"by the marked scoop,"** bolts of cloth **"by the measured length,"** and spices **"by weight rather than arbitrary pinching."**
**[STANDARDIZATION SUCCESS: SOMEONE HAS INSTALLED PROPER MEASUREMENT PROTOCOLS. TRADE EFFICIENCY HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY.]**
Sharath **mentally valued** the **systematic enhancements** and **kept up proper infant interest in multicolored market displays externally**.
In the meantime, Lord Varundar was **examining trade ledgers** (which **now actually existed in meaningful quantities**) and **granting approving, noble nods that implied agreeable surprise at the state of organization**. Lady Ishvari bought **a small carved plaything for Sharath—a little wooden horse spellbound to snort faintly when tapped and perhaps to offer minor entertainment value for babies who enjoyed metallurgy demonstrations**.
**[GIFT ANALYSIS: HARMLESS ENTERTAINMENT DEVICE WITH MINOR MAGICAL ENHANCEMENT. PROBABLY SAFE FOR INFANT INTERACTION.]**
It promptly **snorted in her pocket with enthusiastic regularity** until she **covered its nose with a handkerchief**, which only made it **snort more indignantly**.
**[THE HORSE IS OFFENDED BY HANDKERCHIEF-BASED OPPRESSION. IT HAS STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT PROPER TREATMENT.]**
Sharath watched it with **amusement mixed with genuine interest in the craftsmanship**.
*Okay, some enchantments are definitely just for fun. And this one has personality. Noted for future reference when I'm designing magical entertainment systems.*
**[CREATOR, I'VE BEEN ANALYZING THE MAGICAL INTEGRATION THROUGHOUT THIS MARKET. THEY'VE SUCCESSFULLY COMBINED PRACTICAL TECHNOLOGY WITH SUPERNATURAL ENHANCEMENT IN WAYS THAT IMPROVE DAILY LIFE WITHOUT CREATING DEPENDENCY.]**
*That's. actually pretty sophisticated. Someone here understands sustainable magical development.*
## **❖ Resources and Materials: Supply Chain Analysis**
Towards the end of their journey, the caravan halted beside the **storage yard where supply carts were being loaded for shipment back to House Darsha**—affording Sharath **a great chance to undertake extensive resource evaluation**.
**[BEGETTING SUPPLY CHAIN DYNAMICS. DOCUMENTATION OF MATERIAL AVAILABILITY AND DISTRIBUTION EFFICIENCY.]**
Sharath **leaned over the edge of his travel cradle** with **meticulously preserved infant curiosity** as **barrels, sacks, and crates were being loaded with impressive organizing efficiency**.
**Iron ore**—**high quality, properly sorted by grade**.
**Coarse-grain salt**—**required for food preservation and magical uses**.
**Oak planks, treated and categorized**—**building materials, properly processed**.
**Sheep's wool bundles, sorted by quality**—**inputs to textile production**.
One crate marked: **"Mirrorglass — Fragile — Handle with Protective Enchantments."**
**[MATERIAL ANALYSIS: HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS WITH PROPER PROCESSING AND CATEGORIZATION. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IS MORE ADVANCED THAN ANTICIPATED.]**
*Mirrorglass? That's scarce and precious. Optical use, scrying technology, magical focusing systems. Someone here has access to exotic materials.*
**[CREATOR, THE FACT THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH MIRRORGLASS WITH APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES IMPLIES KNOWLEDGE OF ITS USES AND VALUE.]**
He **listened to every material** and **cross-checked with everything he'd seen in the forge, the stalls, and the estate**.
**[EXTENSIVE RESOURCE DATABASE UPDATED. PATTERN ANALYSIS.]**
He was beginning to envision **a blueprint**—not only of the town, but of **the technological capabilities, supply chain optimization, and available resources of the kingdom**.
*It's not merely what they possess—it's the quality of how well they know what they possess. They have the materials and they have individuals who can utilize them well.*
**[ASSESSMENT: THIS CIVILIZATION IS MORE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED THAN FIRST BLIND SPOT OBSERVATIONS INDICATED. THEY'VE ABLE TO COMBINE MAGIC AND MUNDANE TECHNOLOGY EFFECTIVELY.]**
## **❖ The Cheese Incident: A Culinary Adventure with Complications**
Prior to leaving, the caravan stopped for **lunch with the level of elaborate presentation that indicated that someone had been preparing this meal for a week or so**. Lady Ishvari **gave Sharath some cooled mash** that **tasted as if someone had magically fortified baby food to be at once nutritious and somehow satisfactory** while Lord Varundar **sampled the merchant guild's legendary "ten-spice cheese" with the measured deliberation of a person tasting both flavor and political consequences**.
**[NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS: YOUR LUNCH HAS MAXIMUM NUTRITION WITH LIMITED MAGICAL SUPPORT FOR DIGESTIVE EFFICIENCY. ALSO, I SENSE TRACES OF INTELLIGENCE-ENHANCING HERBS.]**
*They're adding brain food to baby food? That's either extremely kind or somewhat alarming.*
**[PROBABLY BOTH. YOUR PARENTS SEEM TO BE MAXIMIZING YOUR GROWTH THROUGH NUTRITIONAL AUGMENTATION.]**
Sharath eyed the cheese suspiciously as the steward handed him a tiny flake with the enthusiasm of someone introducing fine cuisine to an infant .
**[CHEMICAL ANALYSIS: FERMENTED DAIRY PRODUCT WITH TEN DISTINCT SPICE SIGNATURES, POSSIBLE MAGICAL PRESERVATION ENCHANTMENTS, AND. CREATOR, I'M DETECTING MINOR CONSCIOUSNESS-ENHANCEMENT PROPERTIES.]**
*The cheese is magically enhanced for intelligence? What kind of society puts cognitive boosters in dairy products?*
**[THE KIND OF SOCIETY THAT TAKES CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT VERY SERIOUSLY.]**
He **sniffed it tentatively**.
**Analysis:** fermented. Spiced in a complicated fashion. Magicalaugmented. Potentially sentient according to the manner in which it appears to be assessing me in return.
He **gently poked out his tongue** for **a tiny taste**.
The cheese **fizzed with magical energy that tasted like liquid starlight blended with someone's very adamant views on proper aging methods**.
He **blinked and scrunched up his face** as if he'd just **bit a lemon that had been personallyhexed by someone with a vendetta against citrus**.
**[CREATOR, YOUR RESPONSE INDICATES EITHER FLAVOR SHOCK OR MAGICAL BURNOUT FROM ENHANCED DAIRY PRODUCTS.]**
Everyone **laughed at the pleasure of people who'd just seen some significant milestone**.
Lady Ishvari laughed the hardest. "**That's his first official cheese review! And obviously he's got a lot of feelings about complicated flavors!**"
Lord Varundar lifted a goblet with **ceremonial gravity**. "**Let it be known: the young master approves of nothing under ten spices and likes his dairy products with sufficient magical enhancement!**"
**[SOCIAL ANALYSIS: YOUR CHEESE REACTION HAS BEEN INTERPRETED AS EVIDENCE OF SOPHISTICATED TASTE PREFERENCES RATHER THAN CONFUSION ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS-ENHANCING FOOD PRODUCTS.]**
Sharath **wiped his tongue on the rim of his bib** and **mentally recategorized cheese as a Class 3 Magical Risk needing more study before normal consumption**.
*Note to self: In this world, even food has opinions. Plan accordingly.*
**[NOTED. ADDING "INVESTIGATE MAGICAL FOOD SAFETY PROTOCOLS" TO OUR RESEARCH PRIORITIES.]**
## **❖ Field Report Summary: Comprehensive Economic Assessment**
That evening, in his own nursery, Sharath **mentally collated his findings** as **NeuroBoop offered analytical support and overall data compilation**.
**[STARTING COMPLETE REPORT COLLATION. CROSS-REFERENCING OBSERVATIONS WITH THEORETICAL SYSTEMS.]**

**[CREATOR, THIS CIVILIZATION IS READY FOR ATTAINMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT. THEY POSSESS THE INFRASTRUCTURE, MATERIALS, SKILLS, AND CULTURAL PLURALISM TO INCORPORATE REVOLUTIONARY UPGRADING.]**
Lying back in his radiant cradle, the **magical wooden horse snorted gently from the bedside table with what appeared to be approval of his analytical diligence**.
**[THE HORSE AGREES WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT. EITHER IT'S MORE INTELLIGENT THAN EXPECTED, OR YOUR ANALYTICAL SKILLS ARE AFFECTING LOCAL MAGICAL SYSTEMS.]**
Sharath **smiled to himself** with the **satisfaction of someone who'd just completed a successful intelligence gathering mission**.
*This world isn't crude.*
*It's sophisticated.*
*And it's ready.*
*All it needs is someone who understands both worlds—magical and technological—to help them reach their potential.*
*And I'm going to be that someone.*
**[CREATOR, I THINK WE'VE DISCOVERED OUR MISSION. WE'RE NOT HERE TO REVOLUTIONIZE A PRIMITIVE PLANET. WE'RE HERE TO ASSIST AN ADVANCED SOCIETY REACH ITS POTENTIAL.]**
*Right on, NeuroBoop. This is going to be the most lovely synergy between magic and technology people have ever dreamed of.*
**[AND WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.]**
