A few days later, Arthur gets a message from the twins asking when the four of them can hang out. What does Dayo think?

"Yeah, I read about her. Goes around doing philanthropic stuff, apparently. Looks way better than most witches I've heard of, if you ask me, wasting their magic."
Come Forth Winter
"Yes, I wonder why others don't follow her example. But I liked her and she might solve some of our problems."

"Likewise," he says without mentioning that he googled the twins' names and discovered the extent of their problems. "Also, belatedly, thank you for the weather."

"You're welcome. Hopefully, the conversation will escape the skymage problem number one: talking about the weather."

"Well, we get a sense of the state of weather in a several miles radius, which also comes with the added benefit of good sense of direction."
Come Forth Winter
"I would say it gives us a sense of scale... it doesn't make us feel small, but skymages as a group often think big."

"We have the gifts to control wind, heat, cold, humidity and lightning. Which means pretty straightforward control over the weather."
Come Forth Winter
"It depends on what we are trying to do and where we are trying to do it. Really strong winds, the type that causes people problems moving, can be done instantaneously in a small scale. We could call a thunderbolt in a few minutes - it takes time gathering the energy correctly - produce temperature changes that are strong enough to knock someone out in a matter of seconds. Or cause a city-wide heatwave in... maybe ten minutes. Same thing for cold. Raining varies too much according to local air humidity and likewise snowing, but actually freezing the snow is pretty fast. Freezing liquid water is rather tricky and indirect... there is a lot of skill to it if what you want is to influence the weather for a long time."

"Sounds broken to be honest. Why don't you as a society use these broken powers to fix thirst? Too many butterfly effects messing with weather at that scale?"
Come Forth Winter
"The butterfly effects," Felix agrees, "we have to take the water from somewhere and that can often edge on political problems. Diverting water the regular way can cause that too."
