>Can we tell anything about this surface?

>It's metallic, and very smooth. Cold too, but that's to be expected.

>Does it have any particularly qualities? Is it conductive? Magnetic? Reflective? Ductile? Anti-Newtonian?

>Does it have any particularly qualities? Is it conductive? Magnetic? Reflective? Ductile? Anti-Newtonian?

>You cannot probe these qualities yourself. However, summoning a small piece of metal of your own, you start investigating.
>Oddly, it seems to generate a magnetic field... but it only has a South Pole. This is supposed to be impossible, the North Pole should be somewhere!

>Do we have the capacity to trace along the magnetic field, and find if the pole is just elsewhere due to dimensional screwiness?

>You can experiment using small iron pieces to get an idea of how the force lines are shaped. Of course, if you're unable to find the source of the opposite pole, it's safe to assume the latter.

>You do so! The iron shows... huh. Wait, what?
>The force lines bend inwards. Does this mean that the opposite pole is within the core of the thing? That's weird!

>This one looks a lot more convoluted, like a whole radio. Upon deep inspection, you realize it's only made to deliver only one type of signal, heavily encrypted.
