Relius accepts the rejection. After all, their purpose is to fight the Darkness, not strengthen it.

Perhaps a new method of combining seasonal magics together in creation of the obelisk then. Allowing for a staging area for his smelting.

He will research ideas and return later with a new proposal, earth manipulation, fire manipulation, and water manipulation to construct the obelisk instead. A small one to test the combined efforts of three elemental magics to create a singular construct. He would submit the proposal and request roof access once more.
