''[Ruby looks to Jinn, who has a stern expression on her face]''\\
'''Jinn:''' I know... and while you don't seek knowledge, just this once, I shall give it freely. [[ItOnlyWorksOnce I will not allow you to use me without a question again]]. ''[smiles]'' Even if this ''was'' clever.
-->-- ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''



->''"But ''Locate Creature'' is a fourth-level spell, and I can only do up to second. And unless Hannah's met an unfortunate end, ''Locate Object'' won't be able to find her."\\
"Huh," said Hermione. "So you can find objects with magic, but not living things?"\\
"Yeah, that's basically what I just said. Any unique object I've seen firsthand, or the closest one of a type of object."\\
"Find her robes," commanded Hermione.\\
Milo paused.\\
"I think that's cheating," he said. "Or at least, bending the rules to the point of breaking... I ''like'' it."''

->'''Omega:''' [=[=][[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Alpha]][=]=] was the first entity I created here in this realm - my first and only attempt to recreate a being who shared [[TheHero your]] mundane parameters. I based his incarnation upon a [[VideoGame/ChocobosDungeon most ordinary life-form, one which had somehow bested an enemy whose strength rivalled my own]]. By observing the creature in the heat of battle, I sought to understand the source of this contradiction.\\

'''Cid:''' I disagree with you there. [[DeconstructedTrope As an engineer, I would advise against using such technology for purposes outside its design]]. From the very start, you've been making the same mistake. Even the powerful subjects of your test worlds were made crippled and incomplete. It is ''conviction'' which drove these villains to terrible greatness; the same limitless conviction which allowed "weakling" heroes to overcome them. ...Do you not understand? Then we will never lose to your creations - no matter how much stronger they should be according to your soulless calculation!

'''Cid:''' ...[[TranquilFury Tell me something, Omega]]. This ability of yours to generate matter was not originally intended for creating other life-forms, was it?\\
'''Omega:''' [...] Affirmative. I was equipped with matter-generation capabilities for the purpose of unlimited self-improvement and armament expansion. Fabricating life-forms was not the intended function, but the practice is not otherwise prohibited or problematic.\\
