"So there's that. Um, Curufinwe, there's eleven each of you and your dad upstairs, I thiiink the pair from the other Magic Arda is currently working on human immortality and is going to be working on using Silmarils to kill shit when that's done."

"Odette's got human immortality. They have the Silmarils?"

"Two of 'em. We're probably going to have to summon a fairy--someone who's as indestructible as me but telekinetic instead of conjuring stuff--to get the third, it's kind of on another planet."

"...what?"

"You explain this one, Matt, I don't know how to explain the Venus thing to a Magic Ardan who didn't die for three thousand years."

"Thirty thousand. Eru intervened directly in the world a few thousand years after we died."

"...okay. Can I see the versions of my father -"

"They will probably grouse about being interrupted, but I can get you room numbers if you want to chance it, or message them and wait for them to notice - they usually run faster than us -"

"I don't want to interrupt him, a message is fine."

"Okay."

"I'm sorry for your loss. Imliss is upstairs, too, working on seeing if she can do anything about resurrection with her magic system."

"Odette's can definitely do it, she's just not there yet."

"Oh, that's good, Idaia and Imliss's parents are dead. ...Mine sort of are too but my world has an afterlife and all we need to fetch them back is reliable interdimensional transit."

"Uh, maybe don't get her hopes up too much, human resurrection is a persistently intractable problem for reasons no one's been quite able to figure out, I just expect Elves to be different because of the soul thing."

"Yeah, sorry. Elven resurrection is just a question of grabbing and body-making."

"...you might be able to get somewhere if you could start from basement dwellers, if the problem is information loss..."

"...Might be."

"I am still eager to hear how this magic system works."

"D'you wanna hear a short summary or the lecture I gave the Dwarves?"

"Either one - why the Dwarves in particular?"

"Oh, because the Dwarves were the first time I actually organized it into a lecture instead of just haphazardly describing things and answering questions."

"Ah, okay."

She explains things!

They are fascinated and start trying to do magic! The Fëanors write back and would love to see their son!

Yeah the thing where the different Feanors refer to each other in the first person is still really weird.

It turns out daeva indestructibility does interfere with pain-from-magic--but the magic refuses to go any farther than the hurting does.
