Eddie can’t imagine what sort of downsides those could be, but it doesn’t feel like now is the right moment to ask. He hesitates, looking around as if to find something helpful in the darkness, and then it clicks.

"Oh--shit. Sorry, dude. See, I’m kind of a bit behind on the whole ‘learning magic’ thing? So, uh, I totally forgot I could manifest shit here too."

He’d laugh at his extreme oversight if he weren’t so frightened, but his fear is only lending to his absent-mindedness. They need to find a way out of here before he gets so frightened that he forgets something a bit more vital, like how to breathe.

"I’m about to blow your mind," he continues. "Check this out."

You can manifest anything you like in the Horizon, right? So Eddie aims for specifics. He could create a flashlight, but Mat needs both hands free, so that’s immediately out of the question. Out of the darkness, Eddie creates a headlamp, attached to a helmet just like what an old-time miner might wear. It’s old-fashioned by his standards, created from the memory of what he’s seen in old movies rather than anything he's seen in real life, but it works for the time being, and that’s all that matters. Clearly proud of his work, he presents it to Mat with a grin and a half-bow.

"Hands free, as requested."
