Siberia, Permafrost
James trudged through eternal ice, his vision piercing a kilometer-deep glacier to a frozen temple. A winged horse statue held the Horse Talisman, glowing warmly. "Quiet for once," he said, touching the ice, Dragon Talisman's hellfire vaporizing a path.
As he entered, Neigh! The statue's ice shattered, a white horse with crystal wings rearing, its sapphire eyes spraying subzero mist. "Intruder, become an ice statue!" it bellowed, unleashing a freezing tide.
James sighed, unmoving. Ice blades shattered three meters away, and the horse's breath recoiled, freezing its hooves. "Game over." His heat vision, laced with magic, dislodged the talisman without damage. The horse collapsed, re-freezing.
Fusing the warm talisman, healing energy awakened. [Ding! Horse Talisman (Healing) fusion complete!]
[Instantly repair physical damage, dispel curses, soul pollution, and magical harm. Restore beings to peak condition, repair non-living objects (buildings, machines).]
James pressed the ice, energy spreading. Frozen seeds sprouted, mammoth corpses regained color (but didn't revive), and an ozone hole began healing. "High cost for wide-range healing—0.001% energy," he noted. "Negligible."
Devon, England, Abandoned Castle
Jackie Chan crept along a stone wall, ears straining for Black Hand Gang footsteps. "Odd, I saw them enter this corridor," he muttered. The gang was hunting magical artifacts, possibly tied to the Holy Lord's revival. His uncle's detector pointed here.
"Uncle Jackie!" Jade's voice echoed, startling him. He turned, spotting her in an explorer outfit, cowboy hat askew. "Jade?! I told you to stay home!"
"I did my homework!" she said innocently. "Then came here."
"How?!" Jackie hissed. "This is England!"
"Stairs," Jade shrugged.
Jackie groaned. "No stairs cross continents!" Jade whispered, "I saw the gang head to the basement with something."
Jackie sighed, "Stay close. It's dangerous."
Three minutes later, he noticed Jade gone. "Jade?!"
In the basement, Jade hid behind a gargoyle, spying on Afro, Laso, and Chow around an altar with a rune-covered bronze disc. "Boss says it locates talismans," Afro said. Laso poked it. "Careful!" Chow snapped.
Jade aimed her phone, but Jackie burst in, shouting, "Black Hand! Drop it!" The gang fled with the disc. Jade climbed a pillar, waving, "I'll block them!"
"Jade! Get down!" Jackie yelled. She grinned, "Stairs!"
Five minutes later, the gang was tied up. Jade toyed with the disc, activating a holographic map of talisman locations—now blank. "They're gone," Jackie said grimly, rushing to contact Uncle and Captain Black.
