Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'd have to expand my usual tactics if I were to make that work...thought it is possible I think. The purifiers work to keep away, even at my level of craftsmanship, some nasty spirits, demons, and nightmares. This is a physical manifestation of bad magic mixed with poison. The worst substance possibly ever concieved on this planet. To think Ivan has this ichor flowing through his veins, no wonder he's twisted as hell." He tossed the deadened chunk of wood at the orb in its harness, which was being slowly eaten away at, as the wood hit the orb it stuck, then slowly shuddered as it sank in, increasing the orbs size. "Something as radical as purifying it would definately make it react aggressively. I just want to suggest tiny messages to it that make it turn from destructive to at least neutral if not constructive purposes. It is lacking only a few things at this moment that keep it from becoming sentient. A living being of dark magic and purest poison, sentient. It's a scary thought."

"I'm wondering about that. But this thing is so horribly destructive I wouldn't dare give it what it needs to become sentient. I don't know if Ivan has direct control over it when he has to. All he really needs to do is direct the magic in his blood and he'd have a monster as horrible as himself to fight beside him whenever he needs. But I'll consider looking into it more, I'll perhaps grant sentience to a tiny drop or so, and it will not get away. Experiments and observation are needed. If it acts like a smart virus it could techically steal away Ivan's body before he realizes it, and it will most likely destroy Ivan's body doing whatever it does. I'm just doubtful of giving something as deadly as that control of Ivan's body, especially at the rate this thing can grow if it eats the right stuff. You must remember though, that this is technically not his poison anymore, I modified it a bit with experiments and if we put it back into his body somehow I think it would be rejected. Unless...well....I need to do more experiments. This is quite interesting. I wonder if Ivan has ever even fathomed these things.

"If he hasn't realized its full potential, then I am quite sure we have a possible weapon against him. At least in the physical body we do. I bet he has plenty of afterlife insurance stacked up seeing as how him and Lucifer are on good terms. He'll probably be back in a new body before long. Although a much weaker body, I'm pretty sure he'd find a way regain enough power to wipe us off the face of the earth..." He extracted a small drop from the orb with crystal fingers, the larger mass seemed to cling to the fingers and began eating away at it soon. He disposed of them safely as he put the drop into a chamber completely sealed off, the droplet floated in the perfect center, not touching a single thing. "Whenever I dredge up the ingredients, I'll toss them in there and see what this thing does with a will of its own. To me it would resemble a liquid golem gone bad from corrupted magic. Not much good would come of it."
