"I'm a cleric! I get magical powers from Shelyn, the Legendary Pokémon of love and art."

"Can Shelyn give ME magic powers too??"

"Maybe, if you're the sort of person who'd make a good cleric for Her!"

"What sort of person is that?"

"An artist or a musician of some kind! I'm an actress. And you have to be a good person, and care about helping everybody and getting them to a good place in their lives even if they've done bad things."

"And if I do all that I get MAGIC POWERS?"

"If you do all that and Shelyn chooses you. It might take a while! I haven't been a cleric for that long and I'm much older than you!" Probably most of that delay was because she grew up in Infernal Cheliax but she's simplifying.

"Awwwwwww. That's practically FOREVER."

"Yup. But it turns out that art's really fun even if you don't get magic powers! So I recommend it anyway."

"Okayyyyyyyy... I bet it's less fun than battling though."

"I wouldn't be surprised if you could do both, but it's up to you."

Pauta is unhappy about this development!

Pauta can go back in her ball. She would love to learn local songs! Does it sound right if she resolves that wobbly note like this or like that?

The first one. ...He thinks.

She can go over them again if that helps him be sure!

...He's still not totally sure.
