Can't be a wizard without a hat
[Video]
I have taken the time to figure out the use of this communication device for two reasons. The first is to show off my hat.
[She has a hat on. It's a wide brimmed pointy hat that looks exactly like the kind of hat a wizard would wear. She looks quite pleased to have it.]
I suppose a hat isn't that important in the grand scheme of things, but I like this hat, and having ANYTHING from home is something of a luxury, given our current situation.
Anyways the other thing I wanted to talk about isn't quite so trivial. I'm curious about magic.
I have spent the last few years devoted to unlocking magic's mysteries, you see, and I THOUGHT I was making good headway. But now that I'm here, I'm realizing that this is a MUCH more complicated subject than I thought it was. Magic works entirely differently depending on what world you come from. Some worlds don't even HAVE magic in the first place!
So if you know anything about how magic works in your world, I would be interested in comparing notes.
[And then, a minute later.]
Oh right also. Gladio, if you wanted to try teleportation, now seems like as good a time as any.

no subject
There are no slaves or lower class people in your world now?
What is 'church'?
no subject
[She started with the easy one.]
A church is like...a building devoted to honoring Istavan. Or the church is the organization dedicated to honoring Istavan as a whole.
[Then the hard one.]
Yes, there are still haves and have-nots. But it's...organized. The people on top are the people who are SUPPOSED to be on top. They are the ones Istavan blessed with sorcerous power. That they have magic in their blood is supposed to be proof that they're supposed to be the ones in charge.
So, naturally, when I figured out that there's a method by which any commoner can use magic, the church didn't take to kindly to it.
[Thus, the assassins.]
no subject
A building devoted to honoring your god. How odd. Well, aside from the smithies devoted to Aule, we really don't do that on my world.
But...are these people with power good people or do they use their power for evil? Having power should never be an excuse to mistreat those who do not have it, for example. [Elves are very democratic for being ruled by a monarchy and aristocracy.]
