You and Raven gather up books you have and sit in Raven's room as you read.
"So what're we looking for?" Raven asks.
"Because the missing metahuman's main power is his Midas Touch," you say, "we're looking for a way to undo that with Alchemy but restore the golden item into what it was before."
"Other than just our own Alchemy?" she asks back.
"This is in case he touches something more than just inanimate objects and inorganic material," you say. "He got close enough to Robin, Starfire and Beast Boy to tag their clothing and communicators. I think they got lucky that he didn't turn their skin into gold."
"Oh, good point," she says. "Restoration Magic won't do it, either, since gold is inorganic."
You and Raven flip through various texts on Alchemy, but there's not anything promising. You already know that Alchemy is a simple "element A to element B" transformation, and obviously you could turn B back into A if you knew both elements, but nothing about actually going backwards and undoing it.
"Wait..." you mutter. "Going backwards?"
"Hmm?" Raven responds.
"What if the key to it is going backwards?" you say. "Rewinding time on the object so that what Aurum does to it is undone without Alchemy."
"That could work," Raven says. "Because then it isn't really undone, it's more like it never happened. Oh, but manipulating time with magic is really high level stuff."
"Well, you have time magic," you say.
"I have time pausing magic," Raven corrects you. "And even then, that's really tricky to pull off. That time in the duel, that was because of the pressure in the fight."
"You felt more pressure fighting one of my suitors than in that battle the other day?"
"Don't make that big of a deal out of it..." Raven pouts.
"Well, anyway," you say, "we need something to make rewinding time much easier."
"Hmm..." you and Raven both say as you think.
"What if you used technology combined with magic?" Raven asks. "Just like what your grandfather did?"
"Oh, of course," you say. "That's brilliant. We could make it a hand-held device."
A) Have it be a button
B) Have it be a dial
