"Oh. Makes sense."

So Sadde tries it for the Shadow.

It works.

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

He does!

"Doesn't go, either."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

Nod.

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

"Hi, Mr. Farron."

Tyler nods.

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

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

"Take over? And do what?"

"End involuntary death and suffering."

"That sounds quite hard to achieve."

"We have magic?"

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

"The cards can technically destroy the world."

"That seems… like a different sort of scale."

"Oh, fine, maybe we'll take three years."

"Optimism is good, I suppose," he says with a raised eyebrow. "Anyway, sorcery – is this the sort of thing I could get involved in, if I'm not interrupting?"
