"Oh?"

"When I was a kid I would've burned down cities just 'cause I could."

"Ah."

"I'm still not a very nice person but I did at least grow out of 'destroy everything in sight for no reason'."

"I'm glad of that, as a visible thing."

He laughs.

"It seems like my magic should be able to do invisibility but nobody's got it figured out."

"Yeah? Wonder why not."

"If I'd ever decided to mess with it, which I might not have done - risky stuff, experimental magery - I probably would have tried to destroy the visual impression, rather than the light or something like that."

"...huh. But then what do you do when you want to be visible again?"

"It'd probably wind up being something like visibility to someone or someones in particular, maybe over a contiguous period of time."

"It's weird that that's a thing," he muses.

"It might not be! Experimenting in this direction could easily get the 'whoops, no, try again now without half your leg' result of trying to destroy a nonthing."

Giggle.

"Getting here was likewise a risky experiment, but, yanno."

"Better trying again without half your leg than trying again without half your planet?"

"Yup."

"Well, you've got a whole new planet now. With one habitable hill."

"And two legs!"

"Yep!"

Cor chuckles. "So, my spell is probably possible to repurpose into just sending objects, but it's not like that now, all experimentation carries risks, and the information needs to get home. Do you wanna check out my planet or should I go, presumably soon to return?"

"I think I'll stay here and see if I can make mountains."

"Have fun. I'll probably be back soon."

"See you!"

Cor checks and refreshes all his ash markings. Carefully moistens his fingers and wipes off dried blood. Nicks the inside of his elbow, produces a sponge, collects what he needs, and refreshes the blood markings.
