The thirst for knowledge is insatiable in itself my friend. Of course I will, to help a fellow warrior wield a newfound power would be an honour. I know how you feel, friend. The flames within me did not always bend to my will. The fire and ash was once a combatant, an inner war to control both vessel and power, not one but both. Even now, I hold multiple entities within as a source of magic and weaponry. Some agrees willingly to lend their aid, others... Were less cooperative in their effort. One of them keeps on fighting, always trying to take the chance to finally burn away its host and reclaim its full form, because as the Abyss wishes to consume, the Fire wishes to burn all in its path. But that is all a story for another day. But, we shall learn to tame this dark power, as I said. I have come up with two options to try and harness the Abyss safely. Option A: We attempt to glean knowledge through the Nightmare. If this power is somehow all connected, then surely one thing can lead to another. The problem with this is that the Nightmare may be a part of the Abyss, but act in a way to adapt to the opponents mind, rather than showing a vision of the Abyss. I don't like the other option, but it's theoretically plausible that more results may come from Option B: We attempt a binding and summoning of a literal host for the Abyss. This will definitely be the most dangerous, as we would have to somehow trap the incarnation and harness it. I am currently thinking of a way to do this, but we would still have to hold it down long enough to drain some of its essence for a binding. The binding would be easy, I would just have to create restriction spells and prisons to bind it so tightly to a weapon. Do not panic, I do have some experience with trapping something close to a god into a weapon.
