Wayland had only been working at Milgard Manufacturing for a few days now, but he was enjoying the work. It was simple enough, considering the bonus you get when you have access to Matter magic. It wasnt so much that he used his magic to make his work easier, but more so that his understanding of Matter made his mundane work easier. The drill point goes EXACTLY there, or a sheet of metal gets bent at PRECISELY one and a half inches from the edge. The day goes faster when you make zero mistakes.

The occasional bit of magic on tools or drill bits to ensure they dont break and stay sharp. Wayland makes sure not to do things over-the-top to avoid suspicion, but Pride makes it hard to do a bad job on purpose. Still, he hears the voices of his tutors in his head, "Be good at what you do, but dont be indispensible, or you cant advance".

The other workers in his team seem like an ok bunch of people. The kind that are here for a paycheck, not like him, who was here for the work, to create something, to have tool in hand and make something useful from base materials. Perhaps he can inspire one or two of those in his team to something more...

"Heya buddy. Name's Wayland, whats yours......."
