Description
The title is a bit of a joke.

For a [link] (contest) at I won second place!

It was the only idea I could come up with, and it requires some explaining, I hope that doesn't disqualify me outright.

There's a bit of story here. It's not a fanfiction, just a story in my head, if you want to whole summary, feel free to ask. Hell, if you want a full outline because you feel like writing it yourself, feel free to ask.

The Invention: It's a type of magic-scanner. It's the size of a building, and the main portion is a large room with four circular apparatuses on the walls. It's main function is supposed to be medical - it help determine/diagnose many magic affecting diseases(of which there are many, though none as severe as the one featured in cannon). It can also detect any kind of life/living organic tissue within. Set a rock in the middle, turn it on, it tells you if there's something alive in the rock. This tends to vaporize lone single-celled organism though.

There's a flaw, however, a fairly dangerous one; while turned on, it's very sensitive to magic. If someone inside were to cast a spell, the whole thing could blow up. There are safeties that turn it off before that can happen of course.

The Scene: Artemis's body is host to a pseudo-alien(put there by a real alien) that grants him telepathy(Dreamcatcher anyone?). The telepathy allows him to communicate with the small group of refugee aliens who are trying to help save Earth from the Destroyer.

For some reason, the alien inside Artemis reacts badly with the machine, causing him tremendous amount of pain. An avatar of the Destroyer captures Artemis and traps him in the main room of the machine and uses it to torture him for information. Artemis is aware of the machines flaw(also that the safeties have been turned off so the Avatar can use it), and flings a fistful of magic into one of the main apparatuses, blowing the whole thing to pieces.

Holly runs in and finds him near dead, Folly tells her not to heal him, to just run out of there because of the crazy amount of wild magic in the room. She disregards his advice.
