"There's more than enough to explore without getting into combat spells, I'd think, and the convenience spells aren't worrying no matter who they leak to."

"Yup! I did reverse engineer arcane healing from a positive energy cantrip that's supposed to damage undead? And stuff like that. But I think I've done as much dissecting combat spells as I need to for most convenience applications."

"Can you show me another one?"

"Sure, what do you want to see?"

"The better boots? What did you start with and how did you make them -"

"Well, I landed in Arda with a pair of boots of grace - without them I can barely walk, see, and my parents didn't want me getting myself killed in my required combat courses - they were maybe a third as good as these? I played with Detect Magic till I had that rendered into its component parts and could analyze the boots more exactly and then I dumped kind of a ton of mana into a slightly more efficient setup - I could enchant a new pair, I think I have that much left if you wanna get me a pair of shoes and watch?"

"Required combat courses? For women?" He sends for some boots.

"For everybody. If we ran into ghouls on campus they were not going to care if we were women. It's really sexist here."

"There are ghouls on campus? Getting into combat is bad for most women, it traumatizes them, though I guess that is an improvement on being eaten by a ghoul. You can't just go around with someone who can protect you?"

"There aren't usually ghouls on campus but if there was enough rain they'd come up from the swamp. Combat doesn't actually disproportionately traumatize women as far as I know - and I'm a therapist - but I don't know if you're imagining too-high rates for women or too-low rates for men. And no, we cannot do that. The paths were warded but it's not realistic to have half the student body constantly escorted."

"We don't have ghoul-plagued schools here but we also don't have many schools that accept women."

"It's the wrong climate for ghouls, I assume you have other stuff even if there's less of it total. Of course if you systematically deny women educations then you won't have to worry about them being safe at school."

"You don't!" He accepts some boots from a servant.

She looks them over and then enchants them.

And he watches, fascinated.

"Ta-da."

He has so many questions!

And she is happy to answer them but eventually she will need to sleep.

Right, that. Servants can get her a comfortable room in the palace. 

And she sleeps in it.

It's very luxurious. Almost like home, in some ways, and not at all in others. 

There's a breakfast spread waiting for her in the morning.

That kind of means someone snuck in but she didn't bring a notebook or anything sensitive like that so she will not make a fuss. She eats and wanders out.

He is sitting where they parted last night, writing furiously. There is a lot of paper next to him. He may have not slept.

"Are you just planning on tapping all your servants for mana to compensate for staying up?"

"I slept two hours! There's a spell that lets it count as eight, though you can only use it once a week. I don't actually know how to do the tapping-for-mana thing and thought it might be specific to gods, you'll have to teach me, is it standard where you're from? - that might explain the cheaper magical products all by itself."
