"That seems reasonable, if we count time in days; the actual casting of my spells is very quick."

Permalink

"Eight hours; that's a normal work-day, and allows me spare time for other projects."

Permalink

"Sounds fair. Do you know what you'd like to test today?"

Permalink

"The healing, and we might as well get the divination about the resurrection out of the way."

Permalink

He nods. "Do you have everything set up for the resurrection? If we can't do it within a week, the divination will tell me that instead of anything more useful."

Permalink

"I do except speaking to the person with the transplant. I assume he'll agree immediately, but I don't want to get his hopes up."

Permalink

"And if he won't that's still a pretty reasonable use of a fourth-tier spell, if it'd be politically inconvenient to find out the regular way. I can do it now, then; it'll take a few minutes."

He burns a generous pinch of incense on a metal tray, chanting and gesturing; there's a barely-visible glow behind his eyes when he closes them at the end of the chanting. "Oh, that's interesting. It says 'revived and relieved of the shadow upon him'."

Permalink

"Seems fairly positive overall, then, if I'm interpreting that right."

Permalink

He nods. "It seems that way to me, too."

Permalink

"I'd like to spend tomorrow talking to people - but likely Madara will want his brother back right away. Can you cast whatever needed spells tomorrow?"

Permalink

He nods. "Or today, I didn't know we'd be staying when I did my devotions."

Permalink

"Today would be convenient, then."

Permalink

He nods. "I don't have any firm plans for my day. Do you want to test the healing spells now?"

Permalink

"I have the time, yes. I can escort you to the main hospital."

Raafi fills Tobirama on his spells for the day on the way over: at least one each of most of the interesting healing spells, plus several others that might be useful for testing how their magic systems interact, particularly whether they can interact with each other normally and whether they can block each other.

 

Spell list for the day: 0(6): purify food and drink (2), detect magic (3), mending
1(7): cause fear (2), sanctuary (3), obscuring mist (2)
2(6): lesser restoration, augury (2), status (2), zone of truth
3(6): remove blindness (2), remove disease, remove curse, dispel magic, obscure object
4(5): restoration, divination (4)
5(5): extended tongues (3), scrying, break enchantment
6(3): greater dispel magic, heal (2)
7(2): resurrection, regenerate
8(1): greater spell immunity

He'd like to test a few iterations of detect magic, including local ways of hiding things, as well as if dispel magic can disrupt active local effects and if they can hide things from his divination. They might be able to find someone to test the break enchantment on today, as well. Can someone still lie within the zone of truth under any circumstances? 

Permalink

"It's possible to resist the effect, when it's first cast or when you enter the area it's in; I can tell if that's happened. If it hasn't, then no, but it's still possible to mislead someone or refuse to talk."

Permalink

"I don't think we need to necessarily test that, except for perhaps as a benchmark of how hard your world's mental effects are to resist."

Permalink

He nods. "The difficulty does vary with spell tier; I had Cause Fear in mind as another way of testing that."

Permalink

"That would allow at least some variety in who to cast it on."

Permalink

He nods. "Zone of Truth can affect more than one person, but it does give us more flexibility to have more spells available. - I should ask, which spells are least useful today, if I need to convert them? First through fourth tier do increasingly strong wound healing of a single individual and fifth through eigth can heal multiple people at the same time, equivalent amounts per person as the tiers four below them."

Permalink

"Obscuring mist and sanctuary will possibly only be useful one each, for experiments. The others are actually fairly useful, if only for experiments - and we have very good healing for acute wounds, though it'll be interesting to have at least one healing spell to test whether it cures chakra exhaustion."

Permalink

"Reasonable. I'll convert one of the Sanctuaries to healing to test that, and we can experiment with one of each of those, and I'll keep the others as defensive options."

Permalink

"Very well. Is sooner better for you?"

Permalink

"Not especially - the only difference it makes is that if I get into trouble of some sort, spells I haven't used yet are resources I might be able to use to get out of it. I don't expect that to particularly be an issue here, though."
