[Honestly probably for the best. Ash needs to retrain himself on how to fight, after all, given how much weaker he is now. Maybe they can dick around the wood and that goo later.
It's not too hard to find a place with a lot of trees around, at least, and once they're sure it's far enough away from a village Ash nods.]
[He double checks his ARCUS II before attempting to cast one of the spells on it. A tree is now very wet!]
I know there's another spell on this, but I can't use it. It's a healing spell. [And nothing here needs healing of any sort.] Want me to hit a few things?
[And Ash goes to town on a few of the trees with his switchaxe, not doing anything fancy as he does. He just needs to see if he feels anything different as he hits.]

[And sure enough, there he'll be, fiddling with his own ARCUS. Both the new Master Quartz and the regular Quartz are in his hand.]
no subject
Hey babe.
no subject
[He immediately goes over, putting his ARCUS away and leaning up to steal a kiss.]
no subject
So, what's the other quartz you have?
no subject
no subject
Right. Do you wanna try 'em, or am I the guinea pig?
no subject
[As he holds up both Kaleido and Luminous Ray.]
no subject
The other one's probably a spell, so you stay back and see if you can get it to work.
[The Master Quartz is also probably mostly spells, but they can swap it out later.]
no subject
[Pulling out his ARCUS to slot the regular Quartz in, then!]
And there we go...
no subject
Let's find something easy to beat up. Or trees, maybe?
no subject
Honestly, trees are probably our best option, I think, especially while we're just getting a handle on these.

Here should be good. You go first.

[He takes a few moments to focus on the new spell, aiming towards a tree... and fires off a Luminous Ray.]
... Whoa. Cool.

[In other words, that one's only coming out of the ARCUS if he gets a Master Quartz providing that spell.]
Your turn, then.

[That's the impression he's gotten, at least.]
Couldn't hurt, at least. That way we'll know if it does anything else, too...

Ah! Ash, look!
[... Are those gems?!]
no subject
[He stops fighting and looks around at the gems.]
Did I hit any rocks?
no subject
[Pat wanders over to pick some of those up to take a closer look.]
no subject
...we need to get to Gramps and ask him if these are legit.
