Sorcery Breakthrough! (Not actually Sorcery, but technology)

Willsim Hon stood still, his hands raised out in front of him and a fierce look of concentration upon his face. His eyes twitch and flutter, spasming back and forth as his mind slowly loses control of the more basic human finctions (including control of some organs lower in the body). His teeth are clenched and his shoulders locked. Essentially, his mind is so focused that the rest of his body has shutdown.

Slowly (oh so slowly) he moves his hands forward, seemingly reaching out towards the vase resting on a pedestal some 7 meters away. Slowly (oh so slowly) the vase moves towards him, moving off the pedestal and hovering in the air.

"Okay Willsim, hold it right there! Concentrate! Don't lose it!"

"Can't....... hold it........... much........... longer........... losing my.........grip!"

"Just 5 more seconds! We've almost gotten the readings!"

"I'll......... try........... but"

At that moment the vase shattered, peppering the men with bits of plaster and plumeting to the floor. Hon stood there, panting and grasping his head

"Tell me we got it, cause I do not want to go through that again."

"We got it! That's all we needed to modify the implanets. They should be fully operational within the day."

"Thank God. Finally, decades of work has paid off. How long until we can begin mass production?"

"Um....... never. Like I told you yesterday (and the day before), the M-level just isn't high enough in the general population. I'd say we can get .3% implanted, if even that many."

"Well, that's a start. Start the implantations as soon as possible. I'll make the announcement tomorrow."

"You got it!"

OOC:

Okay, the way this works is that through implants in the eyes and hands the people have what are often considered magical powers. Levitation, energy projection, etc. I've already used stuff like this before (Most noticeably in the "To the best of your ability" RP that I had with Jimathon a while back), but always with only individuals equipped with the implants (I think it was only the old Duke and one other person ever had them). This way I can have different people have them if I ever make an RP with this. Thoughts?

What, no thoughts?
