'If only.' Safrin agrees. "But I wonder what area would allow for such a thing? Just the Greatwood, perhaps. The ascended are far too populous in both the Grounds and Torchline. And Halo seems to have attracted more and more abandoned as of late." She tuts softly under her breath. "If only it was you in charge, mmm?"
Letting that suggestion hang in the air for a moment, Safrin considers what Harper says next with an interested expression and soft twist to her lips. "There are, though you would have to be quite close. But yes, there are items that nullify magic within a certain radius, or scramble the ascended's upgrades."
Harper's suggestion is indeed a fascinating one. "Without their knowledge, mmm? If you were to...perhaps aid Ronin's efforts with the docks, it might look like you were simply there to provide muscle. Who would notice if you placed such a device away from prying eyes? And the ascended would likely assume it was the work of the Order..." Her grin widens. "And you'd be willing?"We'll ignore timelines -- Harper could do this during the PQ Ronin has to run to repair the docks after monsoon season.
