Who: Loki
Broadcast: Video to everyone
Action: Iskaulit
When: Now!
As I have said I would, I shall speak of magics. Or rather the basics of one particular form of magic. Attend well.
[Loki has set up the video in his gym, since it has sufficient space and mirrors.]
What mortals oft times call magic is but science of a higher sort than they have capacity to comprehend. All is but working change upon the ordered laws of the universe with strength of will and an understanding of how and what to manipulate.
Light shall be our example. [Because everyone already knows he can do illusions. This is giving nothing away, really, because knowing the mechanics of what he does won't make it less impressive.]
Light is a substance in constant flux of state. It exists simultaneously in many forms until it is directed one way or another.
[He begins to write equations in the air with light, his handwriting precise and very angular, explaining as he goes. People who are very up in their mathematics and quantum physics will be able to recognize portions describing the wave-particle duality of light, though Loki seems to be describing a great many quantum states beyond that.]
Understanding this, one might manipulate the light that exists in this room to reflect far differently, or refract in new ways.
[He goes through a series of demonstrations, first building a delicate model of a horse from light that runs, then revealing an invisible object and describing mathematically the illusion that allows light to seem to pass through something solid. Then step by step, he builds the room into a section of forest in Alfheim, which seems to stretch on into the misty distance despite the apparent dimensions of the former room.
It's quite a show, but perhaps more interesting is his expression as he works through all of this. He's genuinely enjoying himself, perhaps the most relaxed most people have ever seen him.]
And the mechanism of all of this?
[He smiles remembering the day he had been taught this by Frigga.] We are made of the same stuff as light. We must only remember and become part of it once more.
[And with that, he seems to disintegrate into green and gold miss. The video ends.
But he's around his place in the Iskaulit if anyone wishes to seek him out, or can be called upon for questions. And later? Buy him a drink at Crowley's bar.]

anonymous text;
However, as he's fairly certain Loki would find a communication from him a mood-killer, he only sends a short, anonymous text reply.]
Thank you for the lecture.
anonymous text;
You are most welcome.

I could've done that.
{ tony is being a literal child today and this is probably the only text the vision will get unless tony feels more talkative but HE JUST HAD TO TELL THAT TO SOMEONE ]

With the appropriate resources and study of maths more advanced than any currently on Earth? Yes, I'm certain you could.

Why is he being helpful?
Or nice?
Or interesting?
He's planning something and making friends and showing off, and none of that is cute or funny.

It is possible to want to make friends because one is lonely. As it is, he's given me his reasons for not wanting to cause trouble here and they seem to hold up. While I'm not saying he doesn't bear watching, even you must admit that if Loki meant anything malicious by this he wouldn't have been so obvious about it.

and loki is probably being harmless
but: ]
