So he pops to the location she set for him.

Permalink

I know where they'll be, want to come? She offers Amrod her hand.

Permalink

He hesitates but takes it after a moment.

Permalink

And there they are. Hi again, thanks for coming in.

Permalink

Hey. What's up?

Permalink

I've been working on the magic-vision spell, and we wanted to know if it's possible to see Maiar with it.

Permalink

He reaches down to run a hand through Huan's fur. Sure, have a go.

Permalink

Thanks, it'll only take a minute. She closes her eyes.

 

Definitely can, let me narrow it down...

 

Yeah, got it. Thank you.

Permalink

No problem. Can I see?

Permalink

I'll want to think some more about just how the final spell will show them, but sure - do you want it temporary, or to keep until we have a final version?

Permalink

Yeah, okay, I don't know much about how all this works.

Permalink

Basically the spell will make it look like Huan is glowing, or covered with lights or swirls or something; I can make it look different ways, and I'm still figuring out the best ways to make everything look - if we need to be able to notice some things at a distance or tell them apart easily or not be too distracted by them. So I can give you a spell that lets you notice Maiar today just fine, but when I've got that all figured out, the spell I'm going to be passing out to everyone will probably show them differently. Which might be important if you end up needing to share what you see that way with other people.

Permalink

Makes sense. Okay, a temporary version.

Permalink

Can I have one too? That sounds really useful.

Permalink

Sure, no problem. She demonstrates the effects she has so far and goes through the spellcasting process with each of them once they've picked which ones they like.

Permalink

And then they can see magic! 

This'll be really useful for spotting the Enemy approaching.

Permalink

Yup. And I'lll be able to do other spells that react to magic, too, I'm sure we'll come up with some good ones.Tomorrow, though.

Permalink

See you then.

Permalink

Mmhmm, see you.

She takes a few seconds, back at the Ñolofinwëan camp, to let the cheerfulness fade back to its natural proportion relative to her other feelings, and then opens the portal to check on Maitimo. I'm back, she sends distractedly as she waits for her eyes to adjust to the cave's firelight, no problems, Maia show up fine.

Permalink

Oh, good. 

Permalink

Mmhmm. Got lunch, too.

How's Maitimo looking?

Permalink

That's not great.

Soup ready?

Permalink

Yeah. I didn't explain it was for a Fëanorian, so maybe do the teleporting in private.
