Expanding our skillsets seems to our advantage. Whatever bizarre situation we find ourselves in next, the more capable we are the less likely we are to get hurt. So with that in mind, does anyone want to learn how to be a wizard? My magic may not be the most powerful, but it is adaptable, and can be learned by anyone.

In theory. I've never tried to teach it to someone from another dimension and it might just not work, but it's not like we have any shortage of free time around here is it?

And then...

[She hesitates]

If... that doesn't sound like something you're interested in I DO have another, more unusual offer.

I've worked out the prototype of a spell that should be able to nearly instantly send a...a blob, for lack of a better word, of arcane energy from me to a target. The problem is, the target has to be animate or it can't lock on.

So...basically I need someone who's willing to get hit in the face with blasts of energy so I can test it out. Which I realize is a kind of unreasonable thing to ask someone, so if no one is willing to I'll just come up with something else. I have points, and I can make enchanted items, so I'm not above bribing people, if that's what it takes.

[A beat.]

Oh right that was the other thing! I can make enchanted items! Flying carpets and magic spectacles and other such fantastical things! If you can acquire the raw materials I need to make something, I will make it for you. If you have an idea of what you want, I will brainstorm with you over how that idea might translate into something I can actually make! Just get in touch with me. My name is Samata Mahto.

[BONUS ACTION PROMPT FOR GARRETT]

Samata had never actually met the thief she had spoken to in person, but he had told her that he could get her a jeweler's tool kit and, equally importantly, a big pile of silver. Silver was a critical component for making enchanted items. She wasn't sure why, but experimentation had determined that it could expand a person's odic field in strange ways, and also interact with magical currents.

Which was why she was knocking on the door of someone she had never met face to face. She'd worked with criminals before. This was fine.

You really need to use less complicated metaphors.

[ Inigo's two braincells can only handle so much. ]

I mean, what you just said sounds amazing to me. Ridiculously amazing, but amazing all the same. I don't think any of my friends from back home who used magic could do anything like that.

Oh, I've never doubted that you're amazing. [ It sounds surprisingly genuine too. You'd expect Inigo to use his usual over the top dramatic tone when he's handing out compliments, but this is just plain truth rather than that.

Although.. ]


I'll believe you're even more amazing when you don't end up killing someone by shooting magic at their face. [ JUST SAYING. ]
flatteries: (but i'll hum along)

[ Maybe a little too honest. ]

I.. believe in you. [ Said maybe sliiightly more forcefully than he usually would, as if to hint 'please no accidental killing, thanks'. ]
