[Guess who's face pops up late afternoon on the 24rd? It's none other than Karl! He has a few things to say and a very important discovery to present.]

Many of you no doubt are aware of the pink lights presently in Las Vegas. Whatever this means or what may come about as a result, we must do our best to exert caution. Though we may have defended the city, the destruction of that creature had been the enemy's goal, something it will behoove all of us to remember.

[Some grumbling actually comes in the background, grumbling that sounds like one Melissa Lyre, one VERY UNHAPPY Melissa Lyre. Karl spares a somewhat apologetic glance over his shoulder before continuing.]

Words of wisdom aside, I've another reason for contacting the Network today. Following viewing the lights on TV, I received the ability necessary to test a hypothesis I posed some time ago.

[What great hypothesis might this be? A very important one!! Some very VERY melted plastic gets held up for all the world to see. What it may have been before it met its tragic fate, the world may never know. Actually, it was a plastic container but it definitely no longer serves that purpose.]

Plastic does not, in fact, protect against magic, fire magic in particular. Glass tables are also rather ineffective against it.

[RIP plastic container and another of his tables. Ah well, it was for the sake of science and hypothesis testing! And this hypothesis may have gotten tested right in front of the angry lady grumbling in the background. Really, why is she so upset? It's not as though she's...... afraid of fire. Oh... Whoops. Karl mentally slaps himself at that forgetfulness, a slap practically visible as he ends the connection]

That is also a possibility.

No problem. I'll admit, I'm actually very interested in any results you find. Are you planning to post them up on the network when you get them?

I see. With any luck, maybe one of your future echoes will be knowledge about that, or another power that's smaller scale.

Should you be interested, I can contact you when I do the testing so you can be present for it. Possibly, though it may be a long time before it happens, given my luck.

*And there's another pause between texts, this one longer than the first. Finally, *

Thank you, I would appreciate it.

Will you need any help with setup?

Also: true.

Not at all, though it may be some time before I carry out the follow up testing. Unless you'd be able to locate a less flammable location to carry out the experiment then no.

How much of an area does the fire magic affect at a standard try?

Do you have any range of temperatures we'd need to expect?

Rather small. The fire is concentrated in a moderately sized ball shot at a selected target. No, the most telling sign of its heat I have is that it melted both plastic and glass.

Thank you, that's actually very informative.

I'll message you in a few days if I find a place. Otherwise, I look forward to hearing back from you.
