"Hold on a moment," you say. "Let me get my Alchemy supplies, and maybe we should get one of your stuffed animals."

"Yeah, that sounds good," she says.

She goes to her room while you go to yours. You bring your knapsack while Raven brings Domo-kun.

"By the way, are you going to bring any of those with you on the trip?" you ask.

"I dunno," she says. "Maybe."

"Alright, well, we can start while we ride the elevator down to the training room. Focus on Domo-kun as you put in the mind-stone."

"I know, I know," Raven says as you hand her the little blue rock. "And I'll chant 'Vitae' over and over as I put in mana."

"Precisely," you say.

She slips the stone into the top of Domo-kun's head which is also his body. She mutters "Vitae" over and over as the mana pours in. After a few moments, Domo-kun starts moving, wiggling his nubby arms and legs.

"Aww...!" Raven smiles as she holds him up. "Alright, settle down."

She sits him on her shoulder and he calms down his wiggly limbs.

"Now, combining an offense of an Autonomous servant, Summon constructs, and Druidic Spirits is a very high level of tactics and overall abilities. If you manage to have all those, you give yourself a great advantage over just about any opponent."

"Makes sense," she says. "It's like chess, with the pawns, knights, bishops and rooks helping protect the king. Except I'm like both the King and Queen combined because I can actually fight back."

"Yes, a very good way of thinking about it," you say. "Some Autonomy duels of legend played a lot like a chess game, with golems assigned limited movements and such. Makes it more exciting when the pieces are much bigger."

"Sounds like 'Wizard Chess' from Harry Potter."

"Yes, that's a rather curious connection," you say. "No one has admitted to sharing any records with Rowling."

Raven chuckles.

"What's so funny?" you ask.

"What do you mean? This is like how you joked with Beast Boy about the term 'muggles'."

"It's actually not a joke this time," you say. "We were all surprised when we saw her idea for living chess pieces."

"Wow. But, wait. There's no way stuffed animals can survive something like that. Do you just end up using a ton of stuff to repair them?"

"Well that's where Alchemy comes in," you say. "Using Alchemy Transmutation, you can grant whatever effigies you give autonomy to different traits than what they were made with. For example, you could make Domo-kun go from a soft and fluffy toy into a dense metal golem."

"Sweet!" she says. "So we're going to do that?"

"Certainly," you say. "And to test your ability to coordinate an Autonomous servant and a Summon construct simultaneously, we can have them..."

A) Solve puzzles
B) Spar against other servants and constructs
