Condensing implies you're taking more than you end up with, lessening the volume to increase the density of the mass, right? That isn't how it works. It's just a... conversion. Magic and the traditional elements are all real, it's just how they form in the world and what properties they take that's different.
[ Casey looks at the projection in awe. The technology itself isn't unknown, having been easier to replicate through magic than it might be for other worlds using technology, but the concept of a person doing all of that to themselves just for... what, power? It's hard to swallow. ]
That's crazy... I've never really heard of people being able to replace themselves so thoroughly. Some people theorize it might be possible to transfer the self into a golem, but golems are hard enough to produce without adding the complexity of a sentient's magic and makeup into it. And he could do all that with—magnets?
