"...Hi! Who're you?"

Permalink

 

Idaia, I'm assuming your roommate doesn't speak Quenya, is she going to be alarmed by subtle arts?

Permalink

Startled, possibly, alarmed, no; she does in fact know a handful of words of Quenya but not enough to reliably communicate with.

Permalink

So, on the assumption that the Quenya is basic stuff, Bella says, "Hi," and Sorry, I don't speak your language.

Hi! How did you get in my roommate's closet or was that temporarily a doorway to Narnia? Implication: literary reference to a transdimensional portal in a wardrobe.

...second thing.

Yep. Anyway I have useful magic and I used to live in a Valinor and my world is horrible, so I'm moving to this one.

Permalink

Welcome! Idaia must have been thrilled to meet you.

Permalink

We have a lot in common! My name's Bella, nice to meet you.

Permalink

Daphne! Nice to meet you too. Are you also going to try to cure aging, I was going to help her with that.

Permalink

That's the plan. I will need a little while to settle in and get used to the idea of being a wizard again and reconstruct my research, but I think I'll be able to get somewhere with it.

Permalink

You have magic too? Excellent, what's it like?

Permalink

Are you looking for a list of effects it can produce or information about the spell design or casting process?

Permalink

Little of Column A, little of Column C.

My world does not have science - it is literally impossible to practice usefully - and we have a standard of living that I think is close to what you have here in most respects. That's mostly wizardry, some divine magic. When I was doing serious wizarding I could fly and speak to people across oceans and heal and enchant crystal balls - She gestures at her crystal ball - which are networked and share content people put on them with each other, and a bunch of other stuff. Casting takes mana, which people have a finite but rechargeable amount of, and at first it's pretty rigid but with practice you can freeform a lot of the pieces of the spells and combine them in new ways.

No science? Ugh. Kudos on the magic computers though.

Permalink

You have science crystal balls?

Permalink

Cool. Maybe I can make them cooperate.

Permalink

Maybe. I don't know nearly enough about either one to guess.

Permalink

I will have to find out. That's what living in a science world is for.

Permalink

Science is awesome. My specialty's the science of living things, though, I know how to use a computer but not how they work.

Permalink

Maybe you can help when I'm working on expanding the healing spell in the anti-aging direction, then.
