[Soren has been gathering information rather than being social with the rest of the newcomers at Caer Glaem. Now, feeling as though he's got enough knowledge of the Drabwurld to satisfy him for the moment, the mage turns to the Locket network. He's hoping that a certain someone from his world is here, but at the same time, he doesn't know if they're on opposite sides or the same one. Therefore, it's easier to not call him out and hope that the guy answers, if he's here.

He is at least going to learn something useful about the magic here, and possibly in other worlds.]


I'd like to know how different magic is across the worlds, as well as here. The limits, the necessary components, incantations, how you channel it, any other such thing you can think of.

[He holds up a red, leather-bound book.]

As an example. Tomes are for offensive magic. Knowing and speaking the ancient language it's written in allows communication with the elemental spirit of that particular tome. Good communication allows one to control the direction of the spell, while poor communication can lead to accidents with unfortunate results. Some end in death, but most end in grievous injury, depending on the spell.

[It is customary for Elincia to go flying every morning in order to clear her head and deepen her bond with her cleg. It is only later that she turns to the lockets to check on people and she's more than a little surprised when she hears--and sees--a very familiar archsage. All words about her dealings with the magic in this world forgotten]

[Vanyel is relaxing in his quarters, a lute in his lap. He plucks a few strings before asking:]

Why do you wish to know?

There isn't any magic, where I'm from.

[ that's helpful right ]

[In a bright, obnoxious cheerful voice]

Well hello and a good day to you too, sir! ♥

[Anyway, moving on. He'll actually answer the question in a slightly more normal voice]

Yeah, that sounds different from the magic of my world. I've only seen a tome used once, and that was for an absurdly powerful sealing spell.

Gracious, you're summoners?

[ 'Elemental spirits' sounds, to his ears, a lot like keeping fantomes. And that, in turn, sounds like a fundamentally bad idea. ]

It seems like Elincia found you already.

[Ike smiles warmly at the locket. It's really not the best of things to see more people dragged into this, but he can't deny that he's happy to see Soren anyway.]

Where are you?
