It is a lovely Saturday morning. Feathered children are watching cartoons; furred adults are eating brunch; scaled teenagers - one scaled teenager in particular, actually - is arguing with the proprietor of a magic shop.
"How did these items get made if there's no way to learn magic? Are the magicians homeschooling their children and not writing any books? How did you learn?"
"Half this stuff is antiques," says the shopkeep. "Look, asking me a dozen times isn't gonna make the answer more to your liking. I don't have Hogwarts in the basement, deal with it."
"But where do you get the stuff that isn't antique - who made the Avalon itself? - isn't anybody panicking about the medallion supply? -"
"Kid, nobody knows how to make medallions."
"But some people apparently know how to make luck charms and protection amulets!"
"I'm not going to give out my suppliers' personal information. I wouldn't do it even if you weren't annoying."
"There have to be books -"
"Does this look like a library to you?"

"Excellent. We shall compare."
Comparison! They match more closely than the invisibility did, although she's got a meaning he doesn't down for teleportation and she's missing one he included for injury healing.

And when Daphne and Jaromira double-check they come to sufficiently firm conclusions and can proceed.
But May's laptop is running out of charge and it's getting late.
"I'll email you all the spreadsheet and see you tomorrow."

"A history of the Extinction War, looking for clues about medallions. I wonder if we could bring anyone of either of the particularly relevant species back without reigniting the whole thing."

"Apparently dragons were immune to any magic they wanted to be. Including backlash from miscasting spells."

"Yes, it's how they managed to hold their own against the sphinxes, who were extremely magic."
