"Then one room it is. Best mind that the floor can take Vasil's weight, though, granite is heavy stuff."

"This unit can stay outside or in the library."

Permalink

"...Well, there we go, then."

Permalink

Kaede gets them a room and Vasil stays outside.

"...So, any tips on enchanting? Anything we'd find useful? Can I stare at the map some more?"

Permalink

Map!

"Performing magic is really intuitive when you're my type of mage, so tips are more along the lines of being really careful about artefact definition, but since you have a metamancer friend that's much less of a problem."

Permalink

"It's not any more intuitive than usual for me. Which means any new trick I'm going to have to see or think my way around very carefully first."

Permalink

"I wonder if there isn't a way for you to copy the process as well as the results."

Permalink

"I mean, my special has always copied the results of a thing. I wouldn't know how to even try to go for the process."

Permalink

"And you're sure that's not a matter of interpretation?"

Permalink

"Pretty sure. It's like... Seeing something and going 'I wonder if I could do that too'."

Permalink

"No, what I mean is, you're sure the fact that the something you wonder if you could do too is always results isn't about what you choose to focus on rather than an inherent limitation?"

Permalink

"Uh... What? I guess I could try to think about it differently?"

Permalink

"Yeah that's what I mean, just that if you always go 'I wonder if I could do that, too' only to the end result of magic it may not necessarily be a hard constraint on it. You could, say, watch me while I enchant something."

Permalink

"I watched you powering up Vasil and messing with artifacts earlier, I guess that could be meaningfully different. Kind of mentally exhausted though?"

Permalink

"Oh, sure, yeah, we don't need to do that today. We can read books or just relax and look at pretty things this afternoon."

Permalink

"...Yeah."

Permalink

"Or is there anything in particular you wanna do?"

Permalink

"...You won't have Catholic churches. I like the songs during mass. Uhhhhh. Veg out?"

Permalink

"Sure. We could rent a musicbox, though."

Permalink

"I don't know if any of the music will be the same. Do you have..." She uses the English word with a translation-spell-impression of the instrument, "Er, pipe organs?"

Permalink

"Oh yeah, although those are not super common here. Here it's more flute-based with some string and percussion."

Permalink

Then she can probably find some acceptable music.

But first, Gren does some exercises - physical conditioning - and has a bath or the closest equivalent to be found.

"Cleaning magic instead of laundry until I get some more clothes, but it's not great long-term..."

Permalink

"Yeah, we should get you something more like what the locals wear. So, music box, clothes..."

Permalink

"Oil? For the 'wing, its innards will sieze up soon if I don't work on it, and it's a sight easier to fly than some broom. Then again you could probably enchant it clean."
