[ It's a girl with plaited hair who graces everyone's feeds with her presence today. Some may have seen her on TV already, though she's definitely more present on stage in the theatre. To those who know her but haven't met her since mid-February, she's matured by a lot. Anyway... ]

Do any of you use Demichroma? I'd like to point out that while it's not worth a lot with Chroma in the picture, it's still an invaluable resource.

[ The video doesn't seem to be in an apartment. It's more of an office setting. A man in a Moon Knight's uniform suddenly starts walking in the back. Weiss looks behind her and tries to tell him to go away.

AHEM. ]

With the right amount of Chroma added, you can use Demichroma to defend yourself. It helps, I think, that you shouldn't just rely on the magic you get from the Moons, if you don't have any other abilities to fight of your own. There's more trouble on the horizon, what with what happened last month, not to mention, that King Majestas which no one seems to have any idea of.

So, this is Demichroma with a little bit of fire, [ She shows a small red crystal to the screen. ] And this is what I can do with it.

[ A Glyph appears next to her when she summons it. Then she tosses the crystal into the Glyph backwards, where a beam of fire comes out and practically toasts the wall behind them. Said Moon Knight who had a cameo earlier starts extinguishing the flames. ]

I'd be happy to give more tips on how to use Demichroma in battle. Of course, if there are other uses for it that you think would be helpful, not just in combat, but you can use energy in so many ways. Let's exchange ideas.

My name is Weiss Schnee. Thank you.

You can use it as a reagent!?

Tell me more. Do you have any texts about it? Research papers? An essay on your theories or execution?

[schmisse]

Texts?

[ Oh, gosh! Weiss is usually more prepared, but this served as more like a PSA. Maybe she should start compiling data and writing about it? ]

I've never really thought of sharing this information until now. Maybe I should start writing papers, though... It would definitely help a lot of people.

[noenvy]

It's dificult to start from scratch without a basic theory to work from. Though the demonstration is quite fine when the fundamentals are unfamiliar it makes trying to copy it properly almost impossible.

If you write about it I will gladly read it. I very much want to try it out and expand on it if possible.

I wonder how well this method could be combined with common cultivational techniques....

[schmisse]

It's something I intend to study further. Although I'm not sure how much time I can give it with all the other things I have to do.

[ She sounds excited, though. ]

What do you mean by cultivational techniques?

[noenvy]

Even a little would be greatly appreciated.

[Of course he could put all of his time into this if he wanted to, which he almost did, but having a place to work from would be for the best.]

Methods used to cultivate spiritual power and execute them. Hmmm... like powering arrays and talismans. With a talisman you would usually use an ink made with cinnabar and as you write the talisman imbue it with spiritual energy so it can work. I wonder what the effect would be if this was ground up and turned into ink and used in a similar fashion.

I'm sure it could be used for a lot of different types of tools.

[He was incredibly excited by the prospects.]

[schmisse]

Ink with effects because of spiritual energy... I've never heard anything like it.

[ She probably isn't even understanding it right, but that sounds interesting? It's certainly something she has 0 knowledge of. ]

[noenvy]

It’s quite common. You can make all sorts of things that way. Mostly it’s used for protection, to keep evil spirits and demons away. Though, you can inscribe whatever you might want, the same with arrays, though arrays don’t necessarily have to use ink. You can do them with tokens to mark specific points.

[schmisse]

How are you able to create these talismans? How do you imbue it with spiritual energy?

It sounds so useful.

[noenvy]

A blank sheet is fine, cloth can work as well, and then simply sending your spiritual power, or any similar energy, into your brush as you write.

You focus it down your arm through your fingers and into the brush and ink.

[schmisse]

I certainly don't have "spiritual power", [ She even does the air quotes. ] but I have my Aura. Would the manifestation of one's soul work the same way?

[noenvy]

The manifestation of one's soul? If it's like an energy you can put into something, I don't see why it shouldn't work. In theory, you should be able to do the same with Chroma.

[schmisse]

It might be easier with Chroma, then... I don't know if I can put my Aura into something.

Are you good at it? Making talismans and such?

[noenvy]

I am quite good! I have invented a few tools in my time as well.

[schmisse]

This might seem weird, especially since we don't know each other, but... Are you taking in students?

[noenvy]

I haven't really thought about it. I do sometimes instruct the juniors....

I don't mind teaching what I can though.

[schmisse]

Great. I'd like to learn more— whatever you're willing to teach.

[noenvy]

I suppose the easiest place to start with would be basic cultivation. I can put together a book as a good starter for you if you like.

[schmisse]

I would appreciate that very much. Thank you.

[noenvy]

I'll prepare one and send it your way soon then. Also if you're interested I know there are morning lessons and training done by Lan Wangji.

[schmisse]

I don't know who that is.

Oh! I'm Weiss, by the way. [ But she said that already. She just wants to be more formal! ]

[noenvy]

Oh, he's my husband. Don't worry about.

I am Wei Wuxian. And it's a pleasure to meet you Young Mistress Weiss.

[schmisse]

Oh, that's... a little too formal. Just Weiss would do.

[noenvy]

Works for me.

[He has never been one for too much formality.]

Weiss. An interesting name.

[schmisse]

It's supposed to mean "white", like the colour.

[noenvy]

That's quite a fitting name then! It's like being a blank slate as well, something that can be filled over time? Or perhaps pure?
