FormID: 0312D788 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start1 0 Who told you? Hopefully the demented artists don't know about it! That'd be a catastrophe! They'd surely steal it!
__誰に聞いたんだい？まさかdementedのアーティストたちの耳には入っていないよね？そんな事になったら僕は終わりだよ！彼らならきっと僕のアイデアを盗むに違いないからね。
FormID: 0312D789 bgPMQ5Element GREETING 0 Oh! Hello? Sorry, you surprised me.
__えっ！…何だ君か。びっくりさせないでよね。
FormID: 0312D78A bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start2 0 Hm. So now she tries to help me? Her kind of apology after what she let me go through with the Xivilai?
__そういうわけか。彼女、僕を手伝ってくれる気になったんだね。例のXivilaiの一件に対する彼女なりの謝罪と受け取っておくよ。
FormID: 0312D78B bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start2a 0 I did not exactly felt inclined to shout her name.
__彼女の名前を大声で叫ぶよう言われたけれど、本当に気が進まなかったよ。
FormID: 0312D78D bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start2b 0 Hard to say. It felt like she was about to break pelvic bones. Several times. And my skin at certain part is really sore. Bled even at the end. No permanent damage to my body was done, nevertheless. My mind? I do not know.
__口に出すのも憚られるよ。彼女のおかげで何回か骨盤がへし折れそうになった。あそこの皮膚もヒリヒリして、最後には血が出るほどだったんだ。身体に一生残るような傷こそ負わなかったけれど、心のダメージは計り知れないよ…。
FormID: 0312D78E bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start2c 0 Go to our gallery and take a look yourself. I would laugh if it hadn't been me who had to suffer. Needlessly, to add insult to injury.
__ギャラリーに行って自分の目で確認してごらんよ。被害を受けたのが僕自身じゃなかったら、一笑に付す程度のものさ。僕が受けた辱めもこの傷も、全く無意味なものだった。
FormID: 0312D78F bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start2d 0 It's a thing of the past. A shared past which won't be closed history as long as I live.
__もう終わった事さ。この件は僕が生き続ける限り、周囲の人の記憶に刻まれ続けるんだ…。
FormID: 0312D790 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start3 0 Ah, good! Yes, I thought [QUOTE]why color everything with brushes?[QUOTE], and remembered that it is possible to prepare a canvas to react to magic.
__ああ、そうだね！君の言う通りだ！僕はいつも考えていたんだよ。[QUOTE]どうして彩色に筆を使わなければならないんだろう？[QUOTE]ってね。そこで、魔法に反応するキャンバスを利用して彩色する技法も有り得るんじゃないかって思い付いたんだ。
FormID: 0312D790 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start3 1 Next an idea came to me: [QUOTE]Why not capture the interplay of magics onto canvas using this technique?[QUOTE]
__そして次にこう考えた。[QUOTE]だったらこの技法を利用して魔法の相互作用をキャンバスに描き出すというのはどうだろうか？[QUOTE]と。
FormID: 0312D790 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start3 2 It'll be revolutionary! Something you just can't do with normal colors. They don't, how to put it? Live? Magic is a force of it's own, to actually translate it directly into a painting, that was never done before!
__きっと革命的な作品が出来上がるはずだよ！普通の絵の具を使うだけじゃ決して実現不可能な境地に達する事が出来るはずだ。そもそも普通のやり方じゃ絵に生命を吹き込むことなんて不可能なんだよ。でも、魔法は生命の力そのものだからそれが可能だ。だからこそ、この魔法を直接絵画へと変換する手法は前代未聞の画期的なものだと言えるんだ！
FormID: 0312D790 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start3 3 Of course there always were enchanted brushes and palettes, and other trinkets. That's not the same!
__もちろん、付呪の施された絵筆やパレットとかそういった類の道具は存在するけれど、僕の手法はそれらとは一線を画すものだ！
FormID: 0312D794 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start4 0 I'm no wizard, sorcerer, mage, or however else you want to call it. I don't have any talent in casting spells.
__僕自身はwizardやsorcererではないし、mageとかそういった類に属する人物でもない。魔法の才能なんてこれっぽっちも無いんだ。
FormID: 0312D794 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start4 1 So I need your help to cast the right combination of spells on the canvas. I've already asked Yan-Tissam, but she didn't want to help.
__だから、キャンバスに向けて正しい組み合わせで魔法を唱えるのに、君の助けが必要だ。Yan-Tissamにも頼んでみたけれど、彼女は手伝ってくれるつもりはないらしいしね。
FormID: 0312D795 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start4a 0 No, no, no. The canvas is set to only react to specific kinds of magic. Like fire, but not poison.
__ちょちょちょ、ちょっと待って！あのキャンバスは特定の種類の魔法にしか反応しないよ！例えば炎魔法には反応するけれど、毒の魔法には反応しないようになっているんだ。
FormID: 0312D796 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start4b 0 It's not necessary to finish the painting, simply casting different magics will be enough.
__単に絵を完成させるだけなら唱える順番はどうでも良いんだ。違う種類の魔法を唱えるだけで十分さ。
FormID: 0312D796 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start4b 1 The result however could be strange. Like vomit inducing strange, for sheer uglyness.
__もっとも、そうやって完成させた絵の出来栄えは変てこなものになるだろうけれどね。吐き気を催すほど醜悪な作品になるかも。
FormID: 0312D798 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start4c 0 If you're ready to try, I put it just outside of Zendria. I'll wait most of the day near it. Not that near, don't want to be caught in any blast. Had enough after my meetings with the Xivilai already.
__Zendriaの外に置いてあるよ。準備が出来たら来て欲しい。僕もこれからほぼ一日中キャンバスの傍にいるようにするからね。でも、あんまりキャンバスに近付き過ぎて魔法に巻き込まれるのは御免だよ。あんな思いは例のXivilaiの件だけで十分だから。
FormID: 0312D799 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start5 0 Cast the right six magics in the right order at the canvas.
__6種類の魔法をそれぞれ正しい順番でキャンバスに向かって唱えるんだ。
FormID: 0312D799 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start5 1 It's about the elements. Find out which magic corresponds best to which element, then find out in which order they appeared at the dawn of time.
__元素に関する魔法だよ。各元素に対応する魔法はどれか、そして世界の始まりにおいて各元素はどの順番で登場したのかを明らかにするんだ。
FormID: 0312D799 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start5 2 Unfortunately I don't have any idea where to get the necessary informations from. That's up to you. Good luck!
__申し訳ないけれど、この点に関してどこに行けば必要な情報を得られるのか全く見当が付かないよ。君に任せるから頑張ってね！
FormID: 0312D799 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Start5 3 Two words of warning: First, only use simple spells. Anything else could create whatever results. Second, there's no way to undo spells cast at the canvas. Be careful. That's a complicated painting to create.
__最後に注意点を2つほど。使う魔法はシンプルな魔法に限るよ。それ以外の魔法を使った場合、どうなるかは保証できない。あと、一度キャンバスに向かって魔法を唱えたら二度と取り消せないよ。だから気をつけてね。この絵を描くには本当に込み入った手順が必要なんだ。
FormID: 0312D79B bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Depending on the time people believed differend occurences to be elements. Today in Mundus those unblessed by Lord Sheogorath believe the four basic elements to be fire and water, air and earth.
__元素の定義は時代によって異なります。現代のMundusにおいてLord Sheogorathの祝福を受けていない人々の間では「火」「水」「大気」「土」が基礎的な4元素として捉えられていますが、
FormID: 0312D79B bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 In times past the Ayleids however believed that fire was only a weaker, impure form of light, which they considered an element.
__古くAyleidの時代には「光」が元素の一つとして考えられていました。「火」というのは力の弱まった純粋でない「光」だと見なされていたのです。
FormID: 0312DE7F bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 You're a curious one.
__あなたって好奇心旺盛な人ね。
FormID: 0312DE7F bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 The first et'Ada who took physical shape consisted of classical elemental forces. You know them as [QUOTE]Atronachs[QUOTE]. What came last were beings like myself. Or the Aureal. Or the Makads. Or the Dremora. Or the Xivilai.
__最初のet'Adaは、古典的な元素の力で自らの肉体を構成したわ。あなたもご存知の[QUOTE]Atronach[QUOTE]たちね。それに対して私の種族やAureal、Makads、DremoraやXivilaiといった後発のet'Adaは
FormID: 0312DE7F bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 2 Flesh.
__生身を持つようになったのよ。
FormID: 0312DE80 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Turumerin 0 Not directly. You can summon beings made of flesh, but not flesh as a force in itself.
__直接的には関係ないわ。生身を持った存在を召喚する事は可能だけれど、生身それ自体にエネルギーが宿っているわけではないの。
FormID: 0312DE80 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Turumerin 1 However if you want to indulge in carnal desires, you know where you can find me.
__とはいえ、もしもあなたが肉欲に溺れたい気分の時は、いつでも私を頼ってくれて良いのよ？
FormID: 0312DE82 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Fire is one of the most important enemies. You burn inside, like a wick of a candle. Burn too hot, and you'll wither and die. That's the lesson the Goblet of Flames teach!
__「火」は人類にとって最大の脅威の一つです。我々一人一人の中にはさながら蝋燭の芯のように「火」がともっています。この「火」が熱く燃えすぎると我々は消耗し死に至るのです。Goblet of Flamesが伝えてくれる教訓ですね。
FormID: 0312DE83 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Look around you. What do you see surrounding this island?
__周囲を注視してみるのだ。この島を取り囲んでいるものは何だと思う？
FormID: 0312DE86 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Sirelle 0 Exactly. It may not have been the first element in existence, but it's one of the most important ones. Without it, there can't be any life.
__その通りだ。「水」は一番最初に現れた元素ではないかも知れないが、最も重要な元素である事は間違いない。「水」が無ければ生命は存在し得ないだろうからな。
FormID: 0312DE87 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Arriashe walks on it. The visitor does, too.
__Arriashe、そいつの上を歩いているよ。お客さんたちも一緒！
FormID: 0312DE87 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 What came first, the chicken, or the egg, or the cat living from the chicken causing the chickens to fly? Or did they always fly?
__ニワトリが先？それともたまごが先？ネコがニワトリを食べようと追いかけたらニワトリは飛ぶかな？いや、ニワトリってもともと飛ぶものだったっけ？
FormID: 0312DE88 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Once I dwelled in darkness, would have never considered granting it the honor of being an element. Yet now that I'm here, I cannot stop to admire light. It certainly is even more primal than fire.
__私はかつて暗闇の中にいた。当時は元素のありがたみなど微塵も感じなかったものだが、いざこの地にやって来てみれば「光」に対して敬意を覚えずにはいられない気持ちになった。「光」が「火」よりも根源的な元素である事は疑いようがないな。
FormID: 0312DE8D bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Being mortal must be a humble existence. Like a leaf falling from a tree, twirling in the wind. Just to land somewhere, without means to do anything except rot away. And what carries the leaves away? Air.
__定命の存在とは哀れなものですね。その在り様はまるで、落ちた木の葉が風に巻き上げられ、どこか見知らぬ地へ運ばれた上に抗う術も与えられずそのまま朽ちていくのと似ています。では、木の葉を運ぶのはどの元素でしょうか？ええ。「風」ですね。
FormID: 0312DE8E bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 What does every smith need? Fire. It's one of the most primal forces. Like a sword is forged in fire, entire nations and realms are. Without fire there would be only lifelessness.
__鍛冶師にとって必要不可欠な元素といえば「火」でしょう。「火」は最も根源的な元素の一つです。炎の中から剣が生まれるのと同様に、国や領土は炎の中で産声を上げるのです。「火」のない世界には生命も存在し得ません。
FormID: 0312DE8F bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Ever cut yourself? What comes out? Blood. What's blood made of? Mostly? Water. They say blood is thicker than water, and that's true, as you know if you ever tried to clean a bloodied finery.
FormID: 0312DE90 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 I know no one believes me, but I say life. Life is a force seperate from all others, taking flesh as it's form. I've indulged in enough to know.
FormID: 0312DE91 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 What are storms? Just moving air. And yet they carry with them even more ancient forces. Air is not only an element, it's a carrier.
FormID: 0312DE92 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 All those nonsense about elements! Bah! One of the very fundamental forces is always overlooked, which is time. Fire on the contrary? That's a reaction. Being liquid? A state of being. Hardly something you could call an element!
FormID: 0312DE92 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 Without time nothing would exist, could exist. Not even the et'Ada!
FormID: 0312DE94 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Earil 0 Time is certainly a force, yet would I call it an element? No, not really.
FormID: 0312DE94 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Earil 1 And the first it isn't, neither. At the beginning there was only the Gray Maybe. Then it seperated itself into light - IS -, and darkness - IS NOT -. Light was the first that seperated the Gray Maybe, both it's presence and absence.
FormID: 0312DE94 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Earil 2 Time only appeared afterwards.
FormID: 0312DE96 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements1Earil2 0 I read a lot of obscure, hard to find texts. That's what mages do. Not writing rhymes, you know? Ever read the fragments of [QUOTE]The Heresy of Two Faces[QUOTE]? You should! It's a good read!
FormID: 0312DE97 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Good, solid ground. Safe as long as it's not turned up to walls. I just wish there would be more flat earth, and less walls.
FormID: 0312DE98 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Ever drank enough? Do it, and you'll see the light! Yes, light. Beautiful, beautiful light.
FormID: 0312DE99 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 You want to know why people drink? To douse the fire burning in them. What a blessing the first rain must have been, quenching the fires within.
FormID: 0312DE99 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 So you want to drink something, or not?
FormID: 0312DE9A bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Remember what you do when you cook! First you heat the water, then you put the ingredients into it. Elements are similar, of that I'm sure. Everything is similar to cooking!
FormID: 0312DE9B bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 It's confusing! When you're born, you'll see the light for the first time. Yet as the end of my life draws closer, I fear I have to face the light at the end! That does not make any sense.
FormID: 0312DE9C bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 I'm sure the two pairs of opposites belong together: Air and earth, fire and water. Opposites attract each other, you know?
FormID: 0312DE9D bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Many, especially in Dementia and Crucible, believe that darkness was the beginning. I've heard it was only an uncertain state of grayness. Only as light emerged, darkness could manifest. And with it, later causing everything else.
FormID: 0312DE9E bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic1Light 0 You're joking, right? Ever heard of, you know, [QUOTE]light[QUOTE]?
FormID: 0312DE9F bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic2Fire 0 How about a plain old fireball spell? Or anything else using flames? Just guessing.
FormID: 0312DEA0 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic3Water 0 Now that's an interesting question!
FormID: 0312DEA0 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic3Water 1 There's no direct water magic. Water walking and water breathing change how you react to water. Frost being the opposite of heat, which is fire, could also be considered part of the water domain.
FormID: 0312DEA1 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic4Earth 0 I do not know. Could have something to do with people rooting to a place, like burden. Or with protecting you, like through an earthlike embrace, see shield spells. However keep in mind it's opposite is air. Air is movement. Hm.
FormID: 0312DEA2 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic5Air 0 Water breathing allows you to draw air out of water. Lightnings are commonly associated to air, too. I guess it's either of these two.
FormID: 0312DEA3 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic6Flesh 0 Summoning? Doing something with your body? Like increasing your health, making you more resistant to disease, mending broken bones? A good question. I don't have an answer.
FormID: 0312DEA4 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic3Water 0 Ever spent some quality time together with someone in snow? There is a lot of water afterwards! I've tried, and it was an unique experience.
FormID: 0312DEA5 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic4Earth 0 Ever felt unable to move, like your body being made of solid stone? Unable to change whatever fate awaits you, because your body no longers answers? There's only kind of magic always causing this result.
FormID: 0312DEA6 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic5Air 0 Lightnings, of course. They're a lot more harmless than any wall crashing down. The chance to be hit by one is a lot smaller!
FormID: 0312DEA7 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic6Flesh 0 Being healthy again.
FormID: 0312DEA8 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic4Earth 0 I'm immune to it!
FormID: 0312DEA9 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Magic6Flesh 0 Several possibilities. Several kinds of magic. I think while no magic creates flesh as you would create a fireball, the closest thing is mending flesh. Closing wounds it likely is.
FormID: 0312DEAA bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Have a naughty thought: Imagine me lying under you, and Turumerin above you. That's a sandwich. And the order of common elements is one, too. Those you can't touch are on the outside, while you can touch us.
FormID: 0312DEAA bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 If you're willing to contribute your part.
FormID: 0312DEAB bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Let me tell you about a small, but often overlooked history detail: After Mundus was created, the Daedric Princes gathered free Creatia and formed their realms. Only after everything was there, air emerged. It couldn't be held before.
FormID: 0312DEAB bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 Hope that helps you, my apple pie.
FormID: 0312DEAC bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 The old Ayleid though fire to be a direct descendent of light. If you're looking for more than the commonly accepted four elements, I would keep that in mind.
FormID: 0312DEAD bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 My calculations show that you have already heard the answer. Or haven't you paid attention? Think about what you've heard while you helped rebuilding the Gatekeeper of this forsaken realm.
FormID: 0312DEAE bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 0 Oh! I've read about this before!
FormID: 0312DEAE bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 1 Hm. What was it? First water, then fire? Or was it earth? I had formulated a sentence to remember it! There were two vowels in it, and the fifth word began with one. More I can't recall.
FormID: 0312DEAE bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Elements0General 2 I am sorry, but I have so much to learn and so many duties day by day.
FormID: 0312DEB1 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Finished1 0 Oh! I've seen! You finished casting spells at it!
FormID: 0312DEB1 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Finished1 1 It's not yet ready. The colors will take some time to develop, a few days at most. We'll see what came out of it, then.
FormID: 0312DEB1 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Finished1 2 I'm so exited!
FormID: 0312DEB2 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Finished2 0 No. Now my painting just needs time to ripen.
FormID: 0312DEB2 bgPMQ5Element bgPMQ5Finished2 1 Thanks for your help. Hopefully you were right with your choices.
