HELLO FELLOW READERS.
I, your old Wizard, known around these parts for a while now, would like to welcome and greet you, even if I would prefer that you not exist. Although our department has at times imagined the ultimate nonexistence of all of you, or some of you, or even one of you, IN THE END, we find R E A D E R S to be a DISTRACTION FROM OUR ULTIMATE WORK!!!!!!!
screeching, static
BUT IF YOU MUST CONTINUE MAY YOU NOT BE ENTERTAINED, AT LEAST?
Very well! Sir!
Come forth and demand a STORY.
“I HAVE A STORY! ITS CALLED KEDIAN AND THE ZAPPY BRICKS.”
When the first Athar coalesced / was unchained / looked at / questioned / etc, it was instantly pulled down into containers. Glass flasks at first, then slowly….more.
Then came the ZAPPY BRICKS. Fearsome things, bricks that also had a bit of living Athar in them, all Screechy and whatnot.
ZAPPY BRICK: “YOUR WORLD WILL PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”
Kedian: “HAHA LETS BUILD STUFF WITH IT”
static, screeching
A million Deochs pass. The cycle begins again.
Kedian, shouting: “LET THE BRICK BE FREE SO THAT IT MAY BUILD OF ITS OWN ACCORD”
Fools: “NO STOP YOU CAN’T DO THAT”
Kedian, somehow louder: “ZAPPY BRICK! WE COMMAND YOU TO NOT EXIST!”
ZAPPY BRICK: a Totality of screeching, almost pestilential

Future bricks were peaceful. They even begain to embue with other elements. Great Light Bricks were a key to the castle’s construction. It allowed fortifications that were previously unimaginable.
CUT TO: Wizard on Wall
HELLO. MY NAME IS KEDIAN. I’M HERE TO TELL YOU THESE NEW LIGHT BRICKS ARE GREAT. WARM, COMFORTING, AND FULLY ALIGNED WITH YOUR MIND. WITH ONLY A HANDFUL OF THESE YOU TOO COULD SUBVERT A LOCAL (TOWN | VILLAGE).
CUT TO: scene of children playing and studying the elements
THIS TOO CAN BE YOURS! TIRED OF SENDING AWAY FOR COURT SCHOLARS TO COPY DOCUMENTS? GROW YOUR OWN AT HOME!
static, screeching
For only two gold a day you too can help these Wayward Wizards find their way home. We implore you, support the TA’NULL ELDERLY WIZARD WATCH as well as the HOME FOR THE TEMPORARILY MUNDANE.
Kedian walking slowly with grey hair “Wait….no. No! It’s those stupid bricks!!”
THE BRICKS start screaming. Kedian RUNS. He’s young again and so are they, and this time they have large chompy ELECTRIC teeth and that is altogether FAR MORE THREATENING WHICH IS WHY AS YOU CAN SEE WE REQUEST..
static, screeching
Enclosed: Bricks.
That’s all.
