"Yeah, spell's on you not the place."

"Do you have something for the reverse, too, if we wanted to speed up how long until they're back?"

"Not yet, it's my next spell."

Nod. "Seems useful. Do you need, uh, recharge time to be able to cast again – mana or whatever, or…?"

"Mana, yeah. There's a limit, you kinda know instinctively, I can cast about five of these before running out. There's magic potions for it, and resting helps, too."

"What kind of time does it take to recharge? Like, order of minutes, hours, days…?"

"Like a two hour nap? If you don't actually stop everything you're doing it doesn't recharge, though."

"… Huh," he says. "Can you tell if it's recharging or not? And – I'm curious if it's how much effort you're putting into things, or if it's how much you're physically moving, or what. Does reading a book stop it?"

"...I haven't tried. I never really did a lot of magic before coming to Spira. Kaede would know, though."

"Yeah, I'd guess she might," he says. "Any spells you can do by default, that I could do, or do I need a sphere to be able to do anything?"

"The spheres are solid magic, I think. You can learn stuff without them but it's easier with them."

Nod. "So – summoners train in magic so they can summon aeons by calling on fayths? Is that a magic spell too or is that somehow different…?"

"It's different, but I don't know how."

"– Is Blitzball magic apart from the whole breathing underwater thing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you allowed to use superspeed, is the ball itself magic to– stay inside the arena thing?"

"Oh, no, the ball isn't magic. There are rules about which kinds of magic you can use."

"Does it just get thrown back in if it goes out, then?" Pause. "I assume it goes out from time to time."

"No, a new ball gets thrown inside the stadium, lost balls like that are souvenirs."

Nod. "Makes sense. I'm kinda curious what a Blitzball stadium looks like but I'm guessing there isn't one anywhere nearby…? You said– that next town probably has one."

"Yeah, Wakka said Luca has the biggest stadium in Spira."

"Right," he says. "Uh. And Sin has been following you? And also attacking high-tech areas?"

"I don't know if it's been following me, but I did run into it three times. But yeah, it does."

Nod. "Well, might as well get something out of this speed boost – I'm gonna go fly around for a short bit, see you in a few minutes?"

"Sure."
