"Seems like it might, yeah."

"I thought it was sort of like getting out of bed in the morning when it's really cold and you're still tired."

"When it won't get me jailed we can write a book on it." And to Cam - "you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Let me know if you ever want to practice more, get it shorter -"

"I don't think so."

"Okay. So we should still check if summoners who die in my world become daeva but even if they can rollout is going to be complicated - even lots of wizards who don't know any Unforgivables will try to Confund their way into better deals, probably - so secret experiment on discreet dying people in London and then we have to figure something out -"

"I might be able to develop some kind of protection against mind control but there's no obvious avenue to start down -"

"Occlumency doesn't constitute one?"

"It's mental exercises, not something you could cast on a little doodad."

"Timothy, are you sure you can't do it to me -"

"I couldn't get it with Michael and it would surprise me if you were easier. It's - even without intending anything horrible the mental posture is still one it's hard to adopt towards my little brothers."

"What does it feel like?"

"Casting it or being under it?"

"Either."

"No comment."

"It was... sort of trying to be pleasant? Maybe it is pleasant for some people, I dunno, I thought it was trying too hard."

Nod.

"It's floaty. Peaceful. I would imagine it'd be very popular if it weren't for the malicious intent part."

"Well, we have sixty percent of a workaround, I might in fact start offering lessons."

"Because that wouldn't be suspicious at all, people going to be Imperiused and then popping out refusing to say what you made them do but insisting they're satisfied customers."

"No one could passively maintain dozens of them at once. I'm not even sure I could handle two but I have very little practice at the spell."

"No, if I saw that happening and I didn't know any better I'd think you were casting some variant on the spell, or something else altogether."

"You could just tamper with peoples' memories and not advertise it as the most stigmatized activity ever."

"Yes, obviously it would have to be more complicated somehow, but still."
