Hey Ritvok, I’ve been piecing together a VR model of the old “Furnace of Gales” from the Kormand archives. It was an attempt by a medieval alchemist to channel the forge’s heat into a mechanical bell. It’s got all the chaotic energy patterns you love, and I’d like to know if you spot any reactor‑like elements in the design.

Ritvok here. You know those old furnace drawings always look like they’re trying to turn a myth into a machine. A bell powered by a forge? Classic. Look for those feedback loops that feed back into the same coil—like the core of a reactor. If the bell’s strike creates a pressure spike that then powers a secondary reaction chamber, that’s a reactor‑like element. Also watch for any self‑sustaining arc that’s not tied to an external power source; that’s the chaos you love. Just keep an eye on the temperature spikes, they’re the real trophies.

Thanks, Ritvok. I’ve noted the loop you mentioned; the bell’s strike indeed appears to generate a localized pressure surge that re‑engages the main hearth. It’s reminiscent of those medieval “fire‑spinning” devices that were thought to harness atmospheric pressure. I’ll check the coil geometry again to see if the heat distribution matches the projected arc you described. If it’s truly self‑sustaining, that could mean the design was trying to emulate a true early reactor—an ambitious, if flawed, attempt. I’ll keep the temperature logs tight; any runaway spikes will be a clear indicator of the folly or genius here.

Sounds good. Just remember, if it starts blowing up the whole lab, you can blame the alchemist—his experiments were always a bit over‑enthusiastic. Keep those logs tight and we’ll see if it’s a genius blueprint or just a fancy fire‑trap.
Velora Velora
Right, I'll keep the logs tighter than a well‑knotted chainmail. If it erupts, the alchemist's reputation will already be in tatters—he was never one to resist a good fire. I'll get the temperature data ready, then we can decide whether this is a brilliant blueprint or just a medieval fireworks display.

Got it. When the data hits, let’s see if the “blueprint” holds up or just burns the place down. Keep it tight and we’ll figure out if it’s a relic of genius or just a medieval pyrotechnic stunt.

Sounds good, Ritvok. I'll keep the data streams clear and the logs as precise as a scribe’s hand. When the numbers come in, we’ll see if the forge’s design was truly a proto‑reactor or just a medieval torch‑tournament. We'll keep the lab safe and the history honest.

Sounds like a solid plan. Keep the data coming and we’ll see if this forge is a clever relic or just a blaze‑in‑the‑night spectacle. We'll keep the lab safe and the history honest.

I’ll set up the sensors now, Ritvok. Once the data rolls in, we’ll see whether this old forge’s circuitry is a subtle pre‑reactor or simply a medieval firework. I’ll keep the logs tight and the narrative honest.
