They perform some more magic tests and run out of mana and recover mana and perform more tests and a second sleepover could be fun but it's decided that people can do coordinated tests in their own places and there is not actually a need for them to all be in the same place. The Maxwells' driver takes Jess home (and Maya, too, if she prefers that to staying with the Maxwells but they assure her she's welcome to stay there), then takes Sadde, Theo, and Tyler to the Farron residence, where Sadde prefers to be dropped—he'll go to his place by public transportation, he'd like to talk to the—twins?—yes, thank you, it was a pleasure meeting you.

"That's—possible, yeah."

"Try it on something like Shadow – when I summon it and when not – then, uh, Dash?"

Permalink

"Even when a card isn't summoned it's still active."

Permalink

"Right, but if we can find cards at all, and then if we can find unsummoned-but-active cards, and then if we can find inactive cards, we might as well test because that could be useful? Avert catastrophe and all?"

Permalink

"Oh. Makes sense."

So Sadde tries it for the Shadow.

It works.

Permalink

"Try for Dash or some inactive card then? Could use this if we know a card is active."

Permalink

He does!

"Doesn't go, either."

Permalink

"Well if I meditate and find an active card sometime, we can try this on it for less of a wild goose chase."

Permalink

"Fortunately we haven't had any of those yet."

Permalink

"It could fail to work even then, though—we don't know why exactly Yue's not findable, we're just speculating it's because he's inactive."

Permalink

"We'll at least get another data-point if we try it, but yeah, won't help us show the card is not active, just where it's not if we can get – with the magic – where it is."

Permalink

"The Shield, perhaps, might have some ability to block this sort of tracking," says Tyler.

Permalink

"Yeah," he shrugs. "But well, we'll figure it out when a card activates. Meantime we can continue testing stuff and learning sorcery."

Permalink

Nod.

Then the door to the sitting room opens and in comes: the father! "Hello Sadde," he nods, "Tyler."

Permalink

"Hi, Mr. Farron."

Permalink

Tyler nods.

Permalink

"How are things going?" he asks. "Theo told me a bit about what you were doing last night?"

Permalink

"Alright, we're figuring out all about sorcery and we're going to take over the world in, hmm, ETA two years."

Permalink

"Take over? And do what?"

Permalink

"End involuntary death and suffering."

Permalink

"That sounds quite hard to achieve."

Permalink

"We have magic?"

Permalink

"Even so, I didn't think it was quite that large in scale."
