A very dumb idea I had.

So arkiels and dedrails have an INCREDIBLE polarity force from their light and dark natures, so when NOT touching it takes a lot of effort to overcome it.

As a general safety tip, when your friends are helping push to overcome said incredible force, make sure the big guy made of soft, malleable clay isn't in front. Luckily all the folks behind him were modulars or goo-based, so they'll pull themselves back together and be just fiiiine, and then they'll give it another go.
