*Vanitri can't identify the potions, so he chases after some more lights, and one of them shoots into him:*
[SBLOCK=Vanitri]Vanitri gazes down into the diaphraxian crystalline temporal field, artificially constructed and yet still stable! She holds her breath as she watches the strange spatial distortions and colourful residue images that flash through her vision, a side effect of bending the fourth dimension, even in such a small area. But now, for the test! She reaches down with a soft slender hand and picks up Rayne. Vanitri holds the old cat gently and cuddles her up against her ample chest in perhaps a final hug, as Rayne lets forth a feeble but contented purr. Vanitri remembered when she had first found Rayne as a kitten. She hadn't needed a familiar, but she instantly fell in love with the friendly and curious calico kitten. She knew Rayne would understand. Sparing a hopeful smile for Jaecyn, her assistant, she quickly casts a spell with the hand not holding the old cat, calling forth a minor telekinesis to lift the cat and fly her towards the unstable field.
'Sorry girl, this isn't big enough to use one of the monsters from the dungeons, and besides, your time was coming soon anyway...and then again, there is the off chance--'
Vanitri gently lowers Rayne into the roiling temporal muddle, which whirls and gyrates oddly. Vanitri gasps as the field resolves itself and collapses, leaving behind only a beautiful calico kitten, which purrs as it leaps into Vanitri's arms, full of energy.
"I can't believe...No, I can believe. I knew you could do it. You're a genius! The greatest wizard that ever lived! I am not worthy to love, worship, and adore you, to bask in your genius and share in this world-changing discovery!" Jaecyn exclaims--Was his name definitely Jaecyn? Maybe it was Jaemie? Vanitri wasn't sure.
But that didn't really matter. It worked! All that time, all that research and it was a success! And as a minor fringe benefit, it was her daughter's birthday today--a new kitty will win Vanitri the 'Best Mommy Ever!' award for sure, not that an infant is particularly hard to please. Perhaps the unconditional love, the utter innocence of a baby is almost as surpising as the results of...

*Vanitri is back to himself again. He can't remember as much of this one beyond fragments and disorientation.*
