A second ago she was at work in the temple of Erastil in Sothis, which was actually going pretty okay, all things considered. Now she's in a grassy field with a couple fruit trees and a table and chairs and some notebooks and pens.
This is unexpected and requires a ton of power and is therefore sort of inherently terrifying. And she's alone, and defenseless, and she doesn't know where Verita is.
She mills around in steadily increasing amounts of distress until Hagan appears, just as suddenly.
"Mhmm. I think try not to rely on it until we've gone a while without making any mistakes, but probably it's safe."
"Wanted to let you know I have a new spell. The full text is 'Misconduct by people entangled with you does not create misfortune.'"
"Yeah. We haven't extensively tested what it applies to, for obvious reasons, but it seemed like something you might want to know about."
"Thanks. See you later, then."
And she can go find Rana? Who is... somewhere in this rainforest. Hm. Oh, she can mindread Cecelia, that'll at least show her what area she's looking for. Yep, over there.
"Hi guys. Wanted to tell you that I have a new spell."
"...okay. Fair, but I'm going to tell you anyway, because it's important. I have a spell that prevents people who're entangled with me from incurring misfortune."
"It's obviously risky to run extensive tests, so we haven't. But I erased most of my debt with Connor and then told the lie I had to tell to learn it, and I didn't get hit with anything, so I'm pretty sure it's doing something. It doesn't seem that much more implausible than directly manipulating debt, I don't think."
