The band of stone that had been magically locked on his ankle began to beep, flash and glow causing him to worry that something was going on. Ironically enough, something was going on and so he would have to soon take action to defend his charge against it. In this case the action being shooting that robot with a seraph crossbow in the next few minutes if it did not let go. Mechanical automatons were among one of his least favorite things, and no surprise there given that he was a genetic experiment.
Scowling, he let his magic form in his hands after he once more put his hand on the weapon that up until now had been un-reliable. When he did not want weapons, it formed them and when he did, it fell flat to an extreme degree. Later he would remedy the weapon, but for now he had no choice but to rely on it if he was to stop the mess that was unfolding.
A vision spell that would suffice. If he could see the crisis that was unfolding, perhaps he could issue a remedy to the problem from his current location. So he decided he would go with a spell version of a piece of technology that had once been used. The official name of the spell was Grid Eye, which allowed him to view the planet as if it were on a grid. And he could zoom into wherever his ward was, and then see what the commotion was about. Permission would be needed first, from these two however before he did that as he did not wish to offend their laws.
"May I have your permission to conjure a weapon, and to use a scrying type spell to see what is going on?"
