Ooh. Wait, if it was usable before, does that mean there's stuff about the old wizards and whatever on here?

[Is this tape like, a clue? Now it's actually kind of intriguing. He likes a good mystery as much as the next guy, even if over half the time he solves things by use of sheer force. He probably shouldn't beat up the camcorder for answers, though.

He can totally do this. He can be Maintenance Detective Cid, solving mundane conundrums for the greater good during the 5-9.

Before he answers Tatara and while the other is wandering about, Cid is already poking at the workings of the camcorder with magic; he can't help it, he wants to see how the magic in this world ticks. Whether he can actually make a current is yet to be seen; lithium-ion batteries are charged by an anode-cathode differential so... maybe he should just slap it with magic and see what happens. The worst he can end up with is a bomb--]

And I dunno, I've never tried to power a machine with myself or a magic artifact before. [...] Which part of it should I be working with...

[......... he knows which part is the battery but technically he's not supposed to know what a battery is so. Y'know.]
