Since fork-bending seems to be an indicator, we need a baseline.
- Throw a dinner party.
-> Include a good amount of wine.
-> Tell guests there'll be magic involved.
-> Serve bite-sized food that should be eaten w/ forks, but can be finger food.
- Count forks that bend versus forks that don't bend.
Ok, so we have a baseline, say 3 forks are bent quite a bit and 2 are slightly bent. We can't assume slight bends weren't from guests who wanted to be in on the fun, so we stick with the 3.
Now, assuming that any new penta won't be as effective (unless you go professional, which might be challenging), it would probably be more useful to add a penta than to destroy what might be a very powerful penta. It would be nice to make this a temporary thing, but we're not sure how the process works, so lets copy the original as much as we can, but find a locale that can be repaired easily. A concrete floor would be perfect, since you can easily patch it later. Make a template from the current penta and create another one somewhere else. Repeat the dinner party and count the bent forks. More forks = we've made it worse. Destroy both. Fewer forks = we've made it better. Penta your heart out.
