Lucia Walsh-Rhys is many things. Impetuous, stupidly heroic, generous to the point where anyone else wouldn't survive it. From New York.
Busting down El's door to get at this soul-eater.

"Awesome. Hey, El, does the Junior Prophesied Dark Sorceress Kit happen to contain any dark, concealing cloaks?"
"...huh, let me think. Uh - no, I think that'll make you radioactive - hm - not sure I can avoid accidentally making a nightshroud if - okay, got it, top me off?"
"--Well, I was joking, but sure!"
Uhhh how much is too much--right the night they met--she passes over an approximately mortal flame sized amount.
El whispers in ominous Kauravi and Lucia is engulfed in a pillar of blackness. It gives Lucia a kind of HUD, like a low-saturation video game except for all the apertures and people in her field of view popping up in red. "You don't want to do that in direct sunlight but we're not so much as swinging through the caf," El remarks lightly.
"Oh, the spell absorbs light and turns it into a low grade sterilization field, I got it when I wanted to disinfect a cut but the original fellow wanted to both look ominous and kill anyone who got in his personal space while withering all the grass where he walked. It's related to the one that would've made you radioactive but in this light it won't even give us sunburns."
"You get the most amazing spells. Next time you need to clean a cut I have disinfectant."
She starts moving towards the stairs.
"Cool. Ooh, I bet this spell would be good for, like, sterilizing hospital rooms, or pest control--I'm sure the mana cost is too high for practical use. But I'm going to enjoy it while it's up."
"Or cockroaches. --Man, I wonder if the Void would go even harder if you asked for spells to kill stuff. Probably best not to test it."
"Hm. Better than nothing, if it ever comes up. Which I'm sure it won't, not within our lifetimes, but...did you know that Yellowstone National Park is a supervolcano caldera?"
"Yeah. If I ever hear it's blowing up I will take one of the many passenger aircraft still offering service to Wyoming."
"It's not going to come up. I'm just being silly. I think it's easier to just say things, in the dark like this."
