The Novice scoffs at you, but seeing you and Glowie both staring patiently, she relents and repeats herself.
“It bears three gems, each of which can be used to channel a blast of fire, ice, or lightning with application of mana and a mystic phrase,” she says, “OR a gem can be broken to summon orth the elemental spirit within.”
“Like a demon?” you ask, wary.
“LIKE a demon,” the Novice says, “but not. They are from this plane… I think… And certainly not the Hellish Realms. They have limited will. They will burn themselves out.”
“Can they be controlled?” Glowie asks.
“…Unknown,” the Novice admits. “That function was never used, which is why all three gems are intact.
“The Dragonborn can control them,” Glowie says confidently, tail swishing back and forth as she wiggles idly, seemingly lost in fantasy. “Dragonborn is KING. Can control ANYTHING.”
“Disgusting sycophant,” the Novice hisses, though Glowie hardly seems to care -- she just continues wiggling happily.
