Not that I've heard of, but again: communication.

(We can also go underground but it's too dark to see anything, let alone identify fossils.)

"And I assume you can't bring anything with you down there looking for caves or whatever?"

Permalink

Not until we figure out how to kill a flashlight.

Permalink

"I wonder if you'd have to keep killing new batteries for it over and over."

Permalink

Me too.  My book is confident dead objects exist but doesn't know how to make them.

Permalink

"Huh, does it give examples?"

Permalink

Some books we're pretty sure of.  I heard from my dad of an old sound machine, a gramophone or something, with one record, but it was a third-hand story and by reports it was a manual crank model anyway.

Permalink

"...do they have better range than you or something?"

Permalink

Sometimes there are other ghosts in the other worlds.  And sometimes they even speak English.

"If you can kill a gramophone, then what about... a squirrel. A tree."

Permalink

Probably.

Permalink

"No plants or animals have died on the property in the last several years?"

Permalink

I actually tested out my revivification spell on a rabbit last year.  But I think by default plants and animals don't die the same way humans do.  There has to be a specific ritual to get them ghosty.

"Hm." Can I - no - are you going to pitch a fit if - no - "Do you object if I look at the, like, publisher and whatnot, front matter, of the book?"

Permalink

 

 

No.

Farison, Meda. The Spiritual Order and its Manipulation. EmeryWickham, 1973.

Cam copies this into his notebook. "Only 1973, that's promising in some ways!"

I think a lot of it's older stuff that she collected.  But yeah.

Permalink

"Did she collect anything that you've checked and found false, because even if she's just compiling, if she's doing it accurately... and is either alive or died in an accessible location..."

Permalink

I haven't found anything outright wrong.  A lot of spells note that the set of times might be missing qualifications or disqual.s, things like that.

Permalink

"So I will have to look her up."

Permalink

I tried but didn't get very far with it.

Permalink

"Where'd you leave off?"

Permalink

Drafted a letter to the publishing company.  Didn't send it.

Permalink

Because you were dead or for some other reason? "Well, that's probably where I will also start."

Permalink

I think it's a vanity press but I don't remember why I think that.
