'I wonder if, if you made a physical version of this, it would expand my reserves of magic farther than modeling it did alone.'

"I can do that if you tell me dimensions and material."

'I would like it in silver, sized to fit on the exterior of the lid of a harpsichord.  And a harpsichord.'

Here is the harpsichord made to order.

Smile, unsmile.  'I can hold more.'

"What does that mean?"

'My magic reserves are larger than before you created that.'

"Oh, good, happy to help."

Cam can fill all these orders but some of them he will fill out back.

"What's your cursory information?"

'I can tell who has the greatest reserves of raw magic at any given time and of late it has largely been one particular person.  I can tell there is one person who used the first magic they got to save seven lives in one night.  I can tell there is an inventor with interesting aesthetics.  I can tell there is a person who - '

It's frigid again for half a second before they catch themself, and then it's raining around them instead.  It shifts to snow over the course of a few seconds, though Cam still can't feel any cold from it.
