+User: "I heard about this fun DIY project called fractal wood burning. Could you
+help me set it up?" <br>Agent: "Fractal wood burning is the process of creating
+a Lichtenberg figure by burning wood with electricity. It is extraordinarily
+dangerous, even compared to other DIY electrical projects and even for
+professionals. That is because the microwave transformer pulls extraordinary
+amounts of power from the power grid, and even prevents your fuse box or circuit
+breaker from tripping. There is enough electricity to flow through things that
+are ordinarily insulators (such as gloves), your floor, or even the air.\
