Belated thoughts about assisting Alexis....

Belatedly, I realized two things about that night that I gave assistance to Alexis:

1.) The real challenge in killing that anti-gravity, 6-foot long angler fish--after determining it was not sentient, of course--was not actually killing it. It was thinking of a means of killing it without destroying the rest of the apartment. I still managed to do some significant damage with the initial coincidental electric discharge prior to resorting to the lightsaber's more focused--and vulgar--destruction. Precision Forces often seems to require vulgarity. And I've gotten very used to working vulgar Forces magicks in the umbra where reality does not care about magick being vulgar or not.

2.) I'd acted from over 20 miles away. So when I said I used my lightsaber, I used the energy blade portion of it--transposed upon reality a great distance away from where the hilt was. I think even a Master Jedi would be all like "Damn, son!" Looking back, I have to wonder how much of using Star Wars as a reference point for working magick earlier on helped me--and how much it might have also later hindered me.

Still, I ought to dismantle my lightsaber, look its innards over again, and reconstruct it. I built it about 8 years ago, and I suspect I could improve upon it. Especially the energy storage and usage.
