He didn’t need to stop and think about what
book he really wanted. Loki was just drawn to it, knowing exactly where it was.
The pages were thick and yellowed with age, but he had the page he wanted in a
few flips. If his new ‘friend’ wanted his victim to be brought down to size,
the spell would help him achieve that literal end. The shrinking spell on its
own was strong enough to be used on a god ( he’d tried ), but when coupled with
an entrapment enchantment that could seal the victim inside a special vessel,
such as a glass globe, it would prove the perfect way of subduing any strong
foe.
Of course, he’d make a few minor adjustments
to ensure that the spell couldn’t be used on him or his family, but other than
that, it was free for his guest to use at will. He wrote down the incantations,
mixing both to form a new spell.
“All you need now is a place to put him or her in. Might I
suggest something made
of clear glass?”
The request was one that he knew was tricky. Coming here was a risk that he’d pay for eventually, but for now, he’d do what he could. Reducing anyone down to size – even simply power-wise wasn’t going to be easy. It wouldn’t just require perfect spell-work, but also the right time to do so. Once their defenses were down, Ky could strike, but first he’d need something that could do as he desired.
If there was nothing, he’d have to do this another – far more risky – way, and as such he was willing to listen to whatever was necessary. True, he may not have many years of experience in spell casting, but he knew just enough to get him by or maybe get him killed. He didn’t know which at the moment would happen, but he knew he’d do whatever was needed… even if it wouldn’t turn out decently for him in the long run.
“I’m sure someone will turn up eventually for them, but only as long as it’s strong glass. We wouldn’t want them… breaking out now, would we?”
