Thad had been awake for two days, but his excitement kept him alert. The prototype was set up and ready to run. The machine was a bulky mess of metal and cables and took up a sizable area of the warehouse his associate Othello had purchased through a shell company. He had stolen and spent millions of dollars to cobble this contraption of magic and science, and if it worked, a decade of research would come to fruition. It was essentially an unlimited clean energy device. If you drew from a magical source like a Bind, it could generate ma...
