Professor Jigumundo Darkbore
Aetherical Anomaly Speculations (by Prof. Darkbore)
- Lalafell
- Man
- Silver hair
- Teal eyes
- Light skin
- Had a fair amount of Aether
- Speaks at though he knows it well
- Nearly tripped over in the Quicksand
- Wished to speak with meÂ
- I coaxed us to do so outside.
- Wished me to calm down.
- Created a bomb
- an experiment
- smaller than average
- Apparently confidential until conclusion of experiments
- Testing to see the amount of stress it could take before exploding.
- Doing so in crowds
- claimed they worked well
- Seemed to care little for if it exploded in such a crowd
- Note: I really can't blame him.
- Able to sense my Aether
- said "I can sense a humongous aether concentration in your person... It's intriguing. I see a lot of potential here."
- Also said I would be an excellent Thaumaturge with more control~
- Asked for my name
- Only gave my first... for now.
- Claimed I was lucky
- Unsure if this is by Aetheric Propensity or for meeting him
- I suppose either may have its merits...
- The Professor
- Subjects of Study: Aetheric Manipulation, Aetheric Anomalies, Aether-Science, little bit of Magitek
- Offered that I could be a student~
- Apparently the third.
- Of course, I accepted~
- Asked about an Exchange of Knowledge
- Though I am not entirely sure if this is the norm Above, so it stands I would be willing
- Wasn't sure exactly
- Said he will likely find a use for me.
- Settled on hearing of Aetheric Anomalies that I might cross.
- Looking for a way to predict Aetherical Anomalies
Aetherical Anomaly Speculations (by Prof. Darkbore)
- Many facets
- Agreed that there are likely too many factors to result in simple solution
- Probability = result in failure
- Thinking of something more abstract
- If Theory is correct, could create an Aetherical 'map' to view fluxuations
- Theory
- Miqo'te can possibly predict such occurrences
- Believes they have some forgotten 'sixth sense' of sorts
- Realizes it may sound ridiculous
-Â "They have some organoleptic points that are able to sense changes in the flow of Aether."
- "The sensation is weak, but if we're able to find where the points are, and find a way to - let's say - tweak them. We could be able to predict anomalies. Or at least be a step closer to do so..."
- Note: Â This sounds somewhat unusual, insofar as what 'tweaking' would consist of. Â Though I figure only those willing would choose part in whatever that entails.
- Note: Â Also curious on what this is based.
- Goal
- Seek to predict where anomalies of Aether will happen
- Due to the massive release of energy that takes place when one appears, seeks to 'collect it'
- Thus having access to a large amount of Aetherical power
- My Thoughts
- Curious if this Aether Sense can be 'trained'; I have known some elezen capable of such a thing, 'feeling how Aether moves', though I am not sure the scale that is being considered.
- Regardless of outcome, the Family would be interested in the results of these attempts.
- Curious how the Aether would be collected and used; most Anomalies I have encountered are tears and ruptures within the dimensional 'fabric'. Â Collecting that sort of unstable energy might have warping results, unless somehow converted or modified.
- The Professor
- Seems rather intrigued by gaining large amounts of power.
- Gave me a Book
- "Aether Theories"
- Though a simple title, a surface-tome I've not yet read
- Will definitely look it over.
- Wishes the book returned, so remember to make a copy for myself.
- The Professor
- Often found about the Quicksand
- Contact: Moogle delivery, apparently they often know his location.
- Note: I wonder if Moogles find a way to learn the location of all who would send letters by them... [blot]Â
- Notes he will figure out a way to communicate with all of us later.
- Doesn't teach in crowded places
- which is excellent.Â
- Apparently isn't fond of groups of people either.
- Learned to adapt when necessary.
- Mentioned a Miqo'te man that approached within the Quicksand
- Apparently knows Deli (another of his students)
- The Miqo'te claimed to be an "incarnation of calamity"
- Unsure what that means, or if there is any validity to it beyond boast
- Though apparently had some dense, constant Aether, according to the Prof.
- Deli (by Prof's description)
- Miqo'te woman
- Open minded
- potentially really silly
- Apparently has.. surprises?
- Likely to meet her eventually
- The Prof
- believes cooperation is important.
- Will contact me
- "when the time is right."
