Nice. Okay, I'm going to have to put some thought into this. I'm going to go with teekay-slash-cleaning, I think, I can already do illusions. Not that I think those'll be redundant, if they let me illuse stuff that I never dreamed, but it still lowers their priority.

The light one is probably not useful to you because you have probably ever dreamed about light, although I don't know how much control you have over the details of your constructs. The sound one might be useful, you can control the illusion however you like as long as it isn't too loud, and it's time-limited in a way that means it can be a good gauge of your general progress. Here's Prestidigitation, I'll walk you through how to read it -

Prestidigitation ensues.

Prestidigitation! I can actually do this really trippy not-quite-synaesthetic light thing, wanna see?

Ooh, sure!

She cups a hand, and light bursts from a point above it. It's mostly white, but streaked with ultraviolet, which Bella can somehow see despite using only human eyes for the purpose. If she's ever borrowed an Elf's eyes to look at a Mingling she may recognize it.

Oh - how are you - it's got the ultraviolet -

Dreamshaping obeys dream logic.

It's gorgeous.

Tyelcormo and I used to watch the Mingling and he would lend me his eyes and it was so beautiful.

Rúmil borrowed people's eyes all the time. He didn't realize at first that my vision was actually that bad and it wasn't just my shields clamping down on the channel.

Elf vision is amazing.

So good. Have you been practicing lucid dreaming habits, I'm really excited to see where you can get with that.

Yeah, I have, I'm really looking forward to it.

If you don't get anywhere with it after a few months' concerted attempts there are some things I can try but they're not risk-free.

What kind of risks?

In general if I do something I don't have practice with or something really complicated there is a small possibility I will fuck it up and do something else instead or in addition. I could probably fix or at least mitigate anything I fucked up, but it's not guaranteed, and the fixing itself is not something I have much practice with because I usually do not fuck things up. Exactly what mistakes would be most likely would depend on exactly what I was doing. The thing I'd be inclined to try first if you were having trouble with lucid dreaming would be a habit-formation assist and anecdotally when those are done incorrectly the results are most likely to include obsessive and/or compulsive behaviors, sleeplessness - that, no matter how insomniac you wound up I'd still be able to put you to sleep and that's safe - superstition or addiction formation, or déja vu.

Hmm. Well, I don't need to decide until and unless it comes up.

Yeah. Things I offer casually don't have risks like that, they don't go deep enough or I have them trained to the point where I won't slip, so if I ask if you want a coffee thing you do not need to worry that you will never sleep soundly again or anything.

I trust you.

And one of the reasons I am trustworthy is that I am consistent about risk disclosure, so there.

I'm so glad I met you.

It's mutual.

We're going to fix everything.

Fervent nodding. Try the spell!

She casts the spell.

Her pen wobbles out of her bag.
