"It's a good time for lunch. Catch our breath and think about whether to keep looking. I have plenty of grenades but you only have so many spells... I wonder if covering it with flour or dye would also reveal it... Also, how badly do we need the money."

She stretches and feels at her previously burned skin, marveling.

"Faerie fire's technically a spell-like ability but that just means I don't even have the option of doing it again. Dye would probably work, though if you have some on you maybe test it on the corpse in case it doesn't stick well or something? I think we have enough money once we turn this in to get to a port and book passage on a ship, if we're not spendy, but if something comes up we might wind up needing to be spendy."

"And more money obviously means more equipment, spells... I'll try some dye on the body. Make a dye bomb instead of a salt bomb, heh."

"Time for lunch," she tells Papinia.

"Cheers," says Papinia, and she takes out hers, bread and cheese and pickles.

Food is fuel. If sometimes tasty fuel. 

She prestidigitates everything and stares at the sky for a while. It's nice to just be able to do that.

...As many as several chemicals in her pack are or can be reacted to create dye or sticky substances. Do any of them remain visible after being applied to a wisp body?

Yup. The wisp is quite smooth and, touching it, it's clear how it would avoid getting dust and grime on it sufficient to make it a visible smear in the air, it's nigh-on nonstick; but it doesn't make things that are applied to it invisible.

She gets a bit giggly as she sparks up a vivid red-orange glue bomb, unscrewing casings and replacing substances and fussing with glassware and powders on a stone cutting board. It takes about half an hour.

(Stop to think about whether they'll keep hunting wisps before making a cool weapon idea? What do you think she is, NOT a Spark?)

"So you're leaning pro on seeing if it had any friends, hm?"

"-Hm?" Blink. Frown. "Oh. Uh, that was the Spark seizing on an idea. But I suppose it will be useful for any future invisible enemies if we don't."

"I guess I can deprioritize getting Glitterdust in my book then."

"Mmhm. The breadth of things magic can do is fascinating. If I have a year to spare when trying to build industry some time I still want to try learning. As for more wisp hunting... Slightly leaning no? It leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth even knowing they kill villagers, to hunt down intelligent beings. And we can't get a loan and build a factory if we die."

"Intelligent creatures are the ones that can decide to suck less and as often as not don't do that, but I take your point. I think we've got enough to go to Osirion if we go to Osirion, people who aren't adventurers probably finagle it all the time."

"Probably confirm Osirion is where we want to go at a port city, but it sounds like it. I think I cam tolerate sexism, depending on the form it takes and if money makes some of the problems go away."

"Fiducia, we're possibly against trying to hunt another wisp. Are you fine either way?"

"If I wanted to insist that you bag more of them I would have specified that up front!"
