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.
"Try for Dash or some inactive card then? Could use this if we know a card is active."
"Well if I meditate and find an active card sometime, we can try this on it for less of a wild goose chase."
"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."
"Alright, we're figuring out all about sorcery and we're going to take over the world in, hmm, ETA two 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?"
