For the fifth time, we tried to capture my memories and store them in one of the memory stones. It was about the size of a large marble, the kind youâd call a striker if you knew anything about playing marbles, which I didnât until Isaac explained it. Magicians had a similar game, it turned out, that kids played. More magician culture I never learned since my extended family presumably didnât know I existed.
For the fifth time, though, we failed.
I growled frustration and had the urge to throw the damn thing across the living room. âWhat are we doing wrong?â
Lucas exhaled a tense breath heâd been holding as he maintained the stability spell and sagged backward, into the nearest couch to rub his temples. âItâs me, I think. The spell becomes unstable for some reason, and itâs exponential. As soon as the first instability appears, it seems to double every few seconds until I canât maintain it.â
âThe mnemonic stream progresses too quickly,â Nathan said. âIsaac, you absolutely must control the flow of engram packets and keep them to a reasonable pace, or they will overwhelm the stability field every time.â
Isaac scoffed. âItâs not the rate of transfer, itâs the fact that you arenât compressing them fast enough, they get backed up and the spell is overloaded with information. Thereâs no way to control the rate of transfer. Itâs not in the spell parameters.â
âMaybe if we switched roles?â Hunter offered.
âMaybe,â Lucas agreed. âWe can take another few weeks to learn the spells.â
Weâd taken almost six to learn our respective roles. Realistically, everyone only had to learn at most, two positions in the process. My fingers ached from being the first test case and maintaining the sequence of spells intended to loosen my own engrams. It was physically exhausting to not only repeat the sequence at exactly the same speed each time, but also mentally exhausting to keep my mind from wandering as it happened. There was a good reason this technique wasnât actually used for laying the groundwork for intelligent constructs. If we actually did pull off just the transfer and storage, we actually could have changed the entire field.
âLetâs just take a break,â I told them. âWe can try again when weâre fresh. Or maybe start with someone else, and Iâll try my hand at the stability field.â
Nathan was already in the brooding, problem solving mode, pacing slowly with his arms folded, his chin tucked as he watched the floor in front of him. âThe equations are correct,â he muttered. âIâm certain of that. The formulas implement them perfectly. Five attempts and we have the same problem each time⦠there has to be some factor that isnât being accounted for.â
âWell, whatever it is,â I said as I dropped onto the couch next to Lucas, âwe canât figure it out while our brains are fried. Weâre back in class tomorrow, we can spend the week working it out and then try again next weekend.â
Nathan gave a soft grunt. âMaybe thatâs best.â
Lucas and I exchanged a surprised look.
