"Potions, yeah."

"Hmm, then I think I wanna take a look at those. Can they be purchased?"

"Of course they can, go to any witch shop."

"Awesome, I'll do that tomorrow. And talk to Keo, too."

Nod. "Since my link paper threatened your life you probably shouldn't poke it any more. Hmmm, what else..."

"Well, it doesn't seem to object to my watching it, and I still have no idea what a CC even is."

"So... you stare at my CC a bit more?"

"Yeah, possibly while you perform other spells, maybe varying... whatever varies between spells? If it didn't hurt I'd suggest trying for large ones."

"I'm in school to be a wizard, not to dust knicknacks with five-unit trivialities, I can cast large spells if that's useful."

Well that's hot. "I'd love to watch that, then. Oh and—do you think you can control how, er, fast you cast a spell?"

"...I can gesture and speak more slowly?"

"That might help. When I tried watching the power went through really fast, I'm not sure I could keep track."

"Oh, that doesn't change, the spell always goes off in the same span no matter how long the gesture and word take."

"Hmm... Is there a spell that speeds up cognition or perception?"

"Believe me, if I had that available you would be able to see it," Kaylo drawls.

"Oh. Well, I have that available," he says, one corner of his mouth tugging up.

"...do tell."

"Well, it's both a possible elementalist blessing and arcanist spell. I'm wary of spending any mana before making sure I can convert potions but honestly I can't hope to never do it while I'm here, and I have some artefacts I can drain in my backpack back in my room."

"What do the artefacts do?"

"Several things. The backpack is one, it stretches space inside it, and I have a tent that does the same in it as well. I have a pan that auto-heats and a bottle that keeps temperature stable—although there's only a little bit of magic there, mostly it's just physics—I have my Explorers' Guild Token—" He reaches inside his shirt to reveal the stone disc pendant with symbols and swirly patterns that glows blue when not hidden.

"...We don't actually have things like the backpack and tent here but you can find equivalents of the pan and bottle. What's the token for?"

"It can be recognised by other tokens so you know that someone else is part of the Guild, and stores a charge that runs out when your membership expires and can be recharged when you contribute to the Guild and can be used as currency between members."

"Huh. Interesting system but won't do much for you while you're here."

"No it won't, it'll be the first thing I'll drain if I need to. Well, maybe I'll drain stuff like the bottle and pan first, if I can get equivalents here."

"Yeah, there's definitely things like that, and also I'm not sure how useful they'll be while you're staying here eating at the cafeteria. Although it's also possible you could sell them off as curiosities what with their not being wizard things. Come to think of it I probably ought to get working on an analysis for your magic system and have a look at them."
