gollark: I rotate, so that the apiopyroforms will undergo rotation (relative to me), thus producing an apiomagnetic field.
gollark: I see. Maybe I should have gotten a meta-negative bee to produce unenergy.
gollark: I throw the lack of bee at the apiopyroforms.
gollark: ++roll d20
gollark: I summon negative bee, then.
