Barkeep Ji laughed. "Compatibility of a Frame is decided right from the start. Finding a Frame that can combine magnets, metal, and wind would be extremely difficult."
"Magnets and metal are basically the same thing already." Grey waved a hand. "You've just gotta fit wind in there somehow. Where's Google when you need it? Someone tell me whether a planet's magnetic field has any impact on its wind currents."
Ji seemed intrigued when he heard this. Grey didn't seem to be speaking to him at all, but was rather thinking aloud.
"No, that doesn't make sense. At least not in the normal sense. Magnets need charge and the atmosphere of Earth is pretty inert — otherwise it wouldn't be atmosphere, it would have fucked off somewhere else."
Grey looked up at the barkeep. "How far can you bend an element?"
Ji grinned.
"Do you have to do that creepy grin every time?"
"It's either that or I take another shot at putting a hole in your head. Which one do you want?"
"Creepy grin it is."
