"Their is some thing strange about Stone and Steel, a popular game my son and daughter play" Christine says. "You probably think I am just some alarmist mom, but I run Atwell Jewelry and have some talent with gem magic, the gems in the toys made for the game have a strange glow about them, I bought a high end shield with an amethyst gem to bring you " she says. She pulls out a buckler with a big amethyst gem in the center with smaller gems at the base. I can feel a hum of low level power from the thing as she hands it to me. "In case you did not play the game, I bought a download of the game for you" she says. I had not played the game. She hands me a flash drive.
I have heard about the game, it is an odd western were steal is mixed with powdered gems witch makes steal pretty, it also channels magic. European and Native American spirts use the steal to channel their magic. Sounds weird, I know. But the idea that a game could leek magic into the real world, that is nuts. On the other hand, I felt the power in the shield reaching out for me, so at least the makers of the toys know what they are doing with low level magic. You play hybrids between man and spirt able to manipulate the magic better than humans, but better to act in the real world better than spirts.
The real person must have some magic talent witch the toy feeds back with the low level power until it trips the point were the person willfully uses the power. She is right, some one must look into this spreading of magic. I in fact have meet Christine Atwell on an other case, a friend of her`s had hired me.
"I will take the case, but I should talk to your son and daughter about at least the toys, if not the game, say interduce me as an aunt concurred about a game my sister`s kids want to play" I say. In fact my older sister`s son and daughter do play this game.
