….I'm back, quick note just because I'm working on this again does not mean I'm giving up on Blue Screens….I just realized I was really bad at writing dungeon scenes so I keep re-writing it and it's irritating me so I decided to take a break and write something else.

Now I was either going to write something new or continue this and well I choose this.

Waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling has become a rather regular occurrence for Jaune as Harry had the habit of dropping him in a random room in his home when Jaune passes out and considering the fact that Harry's home was magic he never ran out of strange and random places to drop his poor student.

Still while this room was unfamiliar the soft manic giggling that woke Jaune up was not, so with a resigned sigh our young blonde gets up and looks at what sort of madness his mentor was up to now. It took about three seconds before Jaune facepalmed as his mentor was currently juggling the Dust crystals he bought earlier along with the Philosopher's stone while two small Grim Reapers applauded their masters juggling prowess.

"Do I even want to know why there are two tiny Grim Reapers here?" The blonde's question almost causes Harry to drop the Dust crystals but as they are about to fall they silently float.

"You're awake wonderful! I was slightly worried that by draining your Aura I might have trapped your soul in the Philosopher's stone but clearly, I was wrong." The bold statement causes a wave of horror to run through Jaune as he honestly did not consider that possibility.

"If that was a possibility you really should have told me before we started!" Jaune screamed out at his mentor honestly he could put up with his insanity but this was clearly a problem.

"Oh calm down Jaune, If I did trap your soul in there I could simply take it out being the Master of Death has some perks after all.' Harry responds as he continues to juggle.

"Okay...Still not happy but fine… are there any other risks that I should have known about that you wanna tell me, better yet did anything go horribly wrong and have you fixed it yet?' Jaune tries to keep his cool but the tiny Grim Reapers sending him odd looks are disturbing.

"Well this was a brand new way of creating a massively powerful magical artifact, of course, there were hundreds of things that could have happened that I should have warned you about but I could fix all of it so why bother. As for your other question one thing did happen and no I have not fixed it yet and I'm honestly not sure if I should." Harry responds in a bland voice clearly bored.

"Okay...What happened? And why won't you fix it? Are you still holding a grudge over the whole bunny incident I honestly had no idea bunnies were considered incredibly dangerous beasts on your previous world." Jaune starts to sweat nervously at the memory as he could remember Harry's brutal response to said gift… stupid Whipping Willow who thought it was a good idea to make that demon tree.

"Short answer?" Harry's annoying grin sends another flash of irritation as his mentor still was adamant on doing this stupid ritual.

"Long...Please." Harry pouts at Jaune's response but nods anyways.

"Well by using your Aura the Philosopher's stone has bound itself to your soul strongly, in fact, it appears that your Aura is being constantly drained and refined in the Stone, now don't worry that's just excess Aura that is being stored but the link could be a benefit or a detriment you could use the Stone as an Aura battery and draw out some of the refined Aura back into you as you run low but since the Stone is so strongly linked to your soul any harm that befalls the stone will happen to you. In addition, the Stone will eventually complete refining your own personal store of Aura making it denser but since it's constantly draining your excess Aura your rate of regeneration will be much lower." Harry's high-speed response flies over Jaune's head briefly but once he process's everything questions start to pop up in his head.

"Ah, I can see why you waited for me to be awake before making a decision regarding the connection. If the Stone is acting as a battery now does it have a limit? And does the fact that my Aura is constantly going into said object affect your plan in any way?" Jaune honestly had a lot more questions but he decided to take it slowly.

"Short answer?" Another stupid grin is sent Jaune's way but he simply sighs.

"Long for all of my questions Harry, We really don't have time for this and I have a lot of questions." Jaune's response causes the mad juggler to pout before he continues.

"Fine be a party pooper, the stone does have a limit but it's so high that it's not going to be an issue for several hundred years and that's assuming you put your full growing Aura into it every day. It will affect my plan but it should be a positive one." Harry replies in a dull tone as he starts to add chainsaws and bound ferrets to the mix.

"That's good to know, you said my Aura will be refined and denser what does that mean? And can you give me some number for my Aura regeneration?" The current topic awakened the small kid inside of Jaune fascinated by magic.

"Well the refined bit means that each drop of your Aura will be more potent compared to others, so you can use less of it to do more, the denser bit means it will work great as a defensive shield but it will be way harder to control. Now your regeneration will be about a quarter of your regular regeneration but it will improve to about half once your Aura has been fully refined." Another bland reply from Harry but the contents are interesting enough that Jaune completely ignores the bored tone.

"Ah, I see. How fragile is the stone? Also, you still have not told me why there are currently tiny Grim Reapers here." Jaune stares at his crazy teacher as he adds said tiny Grim Reapers to the juggling mess.

"Well fairly fragile, about as strong as a fairly solid piece of wood but you don't need to have it on your person at all times you could seal it in a subspace when not in use and the link would still be strong. As for the Grim Reapers, I don't know they showed up and started to hover over you for a little bit but I shooed them away." Harry's response causes another wave of terror to run through Jaune.

"They were hovering over me? That kind of sounds like I died...but that can't be, right? You would have told me right!?" Jaune's panic starts to rise and it nearly triples as his mental mentor starts to whistle innocently.

"Oh, calm down Jaune you did not die...No, you merely had a near death encounter if you died they would have sent a larger Reaper, these little guys just like to hang out near almost dead people they say those people have the best music what ever that means." Harry ignores his students panic as he adds fireballs to the mix this causes the tiny Reapers to fly out of their master's hands.

Seeing that he did not, in fact, die Jaune calms down slightly but still eyes the tiny Reapers nervously as seeing them has to be a bad sign right? Normal people don't see them as then they would know when someone is about to have a near death moment right? Heck magical people did not even see them so why was he seeing them?

"Harry if I am not dying why can I see them?" His question causes Harry to pause his juggling as he rubs his chin in thought as the objects around them float harmlessly… well not so harmlessly for the fireball as they set fire to a nearby curtain.

"I forgot you're not supposed to be able to see these little guys, if I had to make a guess I would say since you are marked by death you can see those that also claim part of the deathly realms." After Harry responds he continues juggling only pausing briefly to snap his fingers to put out the rather extreme fire.

"Why did Thanatos not mention that when he gave me the mark?" Jaune swallows nervously as his mentor was still rather irritated that he took the mark in the first place.

Harry gives his student a small glare before he again pauses his juggling.

"I don't know why he would not mention it I'm not Thanatos but if I were to make a guess he probably did not know about this fact either as not even I knew about it." Giving Jaune another sour look he snaps his fingers and all the objects except the stone disappear.

"Ah, well …. Hey, why did we need a Philosopher's stone anyways?" Jaune was hoping that his question would be able to distract his insane teacher.

"Well the Philosopher's stone has many uses it could transmute any object to gold and it can produce the elixir of life which is capable of prolonging the mortal life span and I'm sure this new Aura linked stone has other uses but the one I wanted was the ability to amplify spells." Harry spins the stone around in his fingers and it's only now that Jaune realizes that his mentor was juggling a fragile stone with fireballs and volatile Dust and if said stone got damaged he would be hurt just like it so he quickly swipes the stone away from his mentor this only earns him an amused look as if he was saying took you long enough to figure it out.

"Why would we need to amplify spells? How would that help the Faunus?" Jaune asks out of curiosity and in hope that his teacher will not try to take the stone from him.

"I said we needed Political and Capital power and well Money can always get you some Political favor." Harry's response confuses Jaune.

"If we need Capital would the turning anything into gold function not be better and you still have not answered why we would need to amplify spells." He gives his teacher an impatient look but his mentor simply grins in return.

"Poor poor simply minded Jaune, if we flooded the market with gold we would ruin the value of said gold so we could only gain some start up funds using that method and I already have start up funds, no what you are going to do is start a company and you will start to sell products to the general populous with this method you could give Faunus well-paying jobs and gain Capital." Harry's response baffles Jaune as he has no idea how he is going to invent anything.

"How the heck am I going to do that? I'm smart sure but I have only been studying general education and Magic with you I can't suddenly produce cool gadgets that everyone will want." Jaune sends Harry a confused look as his plans usually are a lot more effective than this one.

"Jaune, tell me if you could say put a permanent motion spell on a hand cranked generator would it not constantly produce energy? If you were to also put on several useful enchantments you could make free clean and riskless energy." Jaune in thrown through another loop as he did not expect the use of magic but Harry did mention using the stone to amplify spells.

"I see, yeah we could beat out the Schnee Company on energy production, and I can already see several other 'Machines' we could introduce and we could simply use a spell matrix to clone the items and mimic the effect of production and no one would know." Jaune's mind is running around with the possibilities.
