The Mortar and Pestle!
Senri Lightning dojo expansion

“This is why alchemy exists," the boy said. "So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life. Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold. 

That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”  

― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Outside one of the great gardens of the Senri Lightning Dojo was a small two story building that was filled with rows and rows of beakers, glassware and containers. The purpose of this building was so that scientists and alchemists who wanted to conduct their experiments and test their inventions may do so in the safety of the dojo. Refrigerators currently empty were full of all sorts of containers that might be used to help in the process of preventing spoilage. (Cryopods will be added later.) There are several rooms made of pure adamentine to test explosives behind the safty of ballistic glass. 

The alchemy stations was perfected and there was no tool that a budding alchemist would need that could not be found at the alchemy station.

Post 1/14

Shiki paused for a moment where he started going over the rest of his abilities to start getting underway of the first big thing that he was going to create to make something he really wanted to make. The idea was something basic. He wanted to make something that was a little bit on the spooky side. Something that would let him harness the power of lightning without really having to use his chakra. He was going to need to create something that was a bit more special.

[Deleted]

2/14

The idea that he was going to get to work was something that wasn't exactly ground breaking. The idea would be something pretty basic. The material was going to be made out of lightning bottles. Lightning bottles were a pretty basic component. There were typically made out of the same type of equipment as most of the usual creations. The first thing that he was going to be working on was the creation of material itself. The concept was going to be pretty straightforward. Much like basic gunpowder but with a different explosive. 

[Deleted]

3/14

What would really set this explosive apart from the rest of them was going to be the usage and the increase of the anyseed and the powdered agate. The material that was being crafted was going to make sure that the explosive that he was creating was going to make the explosive for the material rather base but it was going to make the payload spread distilled water that was coursed with this material outwards. This material when explodes to the air would produce an electric shock. 

[Deleted]

4/14

This electrical payload was something special that he was looking for and one of the few tricks he had picked up as an alchemist. The trick was to find materials that would create a naturally charged lightning particle. The trick with this was to find materials that would be able to become crafted and created where he would be able to emulate that lightning effect he was trying to push and try and create when he started to go over the material. He smiled as he started to go over the material as he set the bombs out. 

[Deleted]

5/14

The canisters he was going to make were going to be rather basic but he was going to need to set his sights a little higher if he was really going to get this batch done. Now obviously making every single grenade by scratch was going to be difficult so the easiest way to do this was going to be to take these store bought ingredients and start getting to work on the movements where he would start filling and putting the materials together to create the devices he wanted to make. 

[Deleted]

6/14

He knew what he was going to need to do in order to get to the point where he could start to actually contain the explosives. The first thing that he was going to do was to sit down and start filling up the large vat in the center of the room. Step one was going to be to create the mixture. The ingredients were pretty basic. But thanks to some of his training he was wise enough to get to the point where he would be able to create more of the of material that he was looking to create. 

[Deleted]

7/14

Step one was to make the electrified material so he could get to work on the creation of his devices. The first part of this was to sit down and create the base of the grenade. The idea of this was going to be to start filling the container up with some of the distilled water that he was in a glass jug. He filled up a small cauldron with the material and poured the water inside of it until the water was becoming present in the container. He filled it till it was about half full and then moved back to his shelf. 

[Deleted]

8/14

Shiki started to move over to a stack of coin canisters and started to fill up some of the cups that he was going to be using to mix in the materials. He started to grab two of the coin canisters and dropped them into a cup. Then he took two of the cups of salt peter and dropped it inside of the water. As the water started to fill up the water with the salt peter. He then grabbed a glass steering rod and started to mix the saltpeter into the water until it was filled. 

[Deleted]

9/14

The salt peter was one of the volatile components but it wasn't enough for this to be considered dangerous by any means. So he started to fill in the next amount that he was going to need to use. Step one was to move back over to the mineral drawer and see if he could find his pearls of agaate. He last time had found a couple of them when he was on his way to the market. But this time he moved over and pulled out a small thumb vial contained 8 of them and moved back to his desk.  

[Deleted]

10/14

Taking the materials out he removed 8 of them and placed two of them back inside of the vial so he had 6 of them remaining. He then moved back over to the motar and pestle that he used for grinding and got to work. He grabbed the adamantine pestle and placed the mineral pearls underneath the heavy metal object. He brought the item down smashing it down into the adamantine bowl. As he did he watched as he slowly broke the mineral down until it was a soft blue powder. He lingered on that for a moment. Grinding it as fine as possible. 

[Deleted]

11/14

The finer it was ground the easier it would be for him to get to work on diffusing the material all throughout the distilled water. While this may seem like an over precaution. This is exactly how much a master alchemist would separate themselves from an novice one. The careful and skillful application of these very careful measures would be introduced would make his abilities and skills of his grenades all the more potent. He smiled as he started to put the chemicals in the solution. He filled powdered agate into the solution and faint sparks filled the cauldron. 

[Deleted]

12/14

Shiki started to fill up the container with four canisters of anyseed that he had also ground up and started to mix and churn the material down inside of the material. He then moved over to the cauldron and started to turn a low heat underneath the fire. He then started to wait and move as he looked over as the low heat started to fill up in the room. He let the material start to slowly heat up as he waited for just a moment letting the heat start to heat up the mixture. 

[Deleted]

13/14

He waited for the material to finally heat up and then he moved over to the rest of the cauldron and moved it over to an area over away from the edge where the fire was located. Then he took a liquid nitrogen dispersal unit and started to spray down the material for a moment. He then started to coat down the metal container and let the liquid go from sudden heat to below zero temperatures. He then started to give the material some time to equalize the temperature. 

[Deleted]

14/14

Finally after just a moment he found that the material had relaxed itself but it was now at some of its more volatile point. All it would need to do was come into contact with something for that stored energy to get released. He paused for a moment and started to carefully pour the material down into the grenade canisters. Once the grenades were done and completed he moved over the tops of the grenades and started to fill the grenade tops off and screwed them shut keeping himself safe.

Post 1 / 20

Shiki moved over to the back room and started to look around for some of the stuff he would need to make in order to start working on his next batch of grenades. He was going to need to come up with something that would be able to help set him apart from the rest of the opponents. The first thing that he was going to need to do was come up with something that would just do the most damage as humanly possible. The first thing that he would need to do was come up with a design concept.  

[Deleted]

Post 2 / 20

The idea was pretty basic in a lot of ways. But from what he realized he was going to need to come up with an explosive that would be able to cause the most amount of damage. The way he was going to be able to do that was he was going to need to come up with something that was the most flammable and explosive that he could possibly construct. So he was going to need to find some way to make this chemical as explosive as he could with the most stable housing.

[Deleted]

3 / 20

So the first thing he was going to need to do was come up with the idea of the payload itself. Shiki knew that there were all sorts of innate powders and explosives that existed in a chemical form as well as a material form. But the first thing that he was going to need to do was figure out which one of them was going to cause the biggest bang for his buck. As he started looking around on the inside of the chemical cabinet the thought he found something that might just work.
