The Pulse of Kato Whip: 09

Excerpt:
The eel slithered to and fro, clearly out of his element. “Well, I can juggle.” Five stones shot up out of the sand, and the eel set them to dancing in the air.

“Wow!” Kato watched in amazement. “That’s great!” He noted how the eel’s body sparked and pulsed, and how from time to time the stones clanked together, probably hematites and certainly made of metal. “Electromagnetic induction, am I right? You’re using your electric current to induce a magnetic field, and that is what you use to manipulate the stones.”

“That’s how I do it?” the eel said. “Yes! That’s how I do it!” He froze with the complexity of the notion, and the stones fell to the sand. “Oops.” The eel tried to get them going again, but could not.

“I guess I shouldn’t have said anything,” Kato apologized as the eel’s head sank lower.
