"I think protective  spells and ones that improve skills or grant abilities are most likely to be popular. And I can do divinations, spells that look into the future and tell whether a plan is good or bad, or give advice, but Tobirama seemed a little skeptical of them, I'm not sure anyone will be interested. - I'm assuming you don't have much of a problem with people being unable to afford healing; I do like to help with that, when it comes up."

"We don't, really, but your healing might be more comprehensive in some areas than ours, and I can see that being popular. How long do your protective, skill, and ability spells last?"

Permalink

"A few minutes, mostly, but some last most of a day."

Permalink

"Hm. People are unlikely to be very interested in anything lasting a few minutes, and - we have a general cultural wariness of over-relying on resources?"

Permalink

"And I'm not going to be here for long, of course. I imagine that they might want to use the magic to accomplish things that they couldn't without it, that they could keep, though, that's the usual approach."

She hums. "There's some general strategies for making general services available - but I think if people don't know your system or what you can do, they'll be hesitant to try a vague advertisement, and it'd be better to offer a few narrowly targeted spells, as far as potential reach goes, than many broadly advertised spells."

"It sounds like maybe I should try the wizards' strategy, and find a nice park to sit in and entertain passerby for a day or two. To give them an idea of what I can do, I mean."

Permalink

She shrugs. "That might work over time, but I think the referential gap is so large people wouldn't assume you could do anything you didn't explicitly demonstrate."

Permalink

He nods. "I can work with that."

Permalink

"I might be also able to send interested people your way, if I know what you intend to demonstrate."

Permalink

"I'll have to think about it; maybe Ertan will have some suggestions. I've never needed to show off quite like this before."

Permalink

"Sensible," she says, nodding.

There's an odd sense of presence, and Raafi suddenly looks distant, and gestures for her to wait. After a minute, the presence fades, and he looks back to her. "Fharlanghn," he grins. "He'd like to meet with us - Hashirama and me at least, but it sounds like we should invite Tobirama and Ertan, and see if Deskyl and DZ would like to come. And Madara and his brother, if you think they'd be interested."

Permalink

She smiles. "That'll be interesting, and I think they likely would come."

Permalink

"All right. He'll find us when we have it set up; ideally today, but he's not impatient."

Permalink

"Shinobi are usually fairly efficient, but I'll see what everyone's up to."

Permalink

"All right. I'll come with you, I suppose."

Permalink

"That's fine."

And they can start making their way back.

Permalink

He keeps pace with her, still grinning to himself.

Tobirama meets up with them on the walk, falling in beside them.

"Mito messaged me that there was something to talk about, but she wouldn't say what."

Permalink

"I don't know much myself; Fharlanghn has asked to speak with us. I suspect he's set up a portal between the worlds, or something like that."

Permalink

"Interesting. Well, I'm available, especially for this."

Permalink

"I figured you'd be interested. And Mito and I were talking earlier and it came up that you might want to take some wizardry classes, once there's a way to get between worlds."

Permalink

"Thank you. I would be."

Permalink

Raafi knows some of the basic principles of the discipline, and can explain them as they walk.
