There's something different about this next world. He can tell by the way his magic reacts to it. It's almost like it's... eager.
He doesn't dare hope.
He opens a door, in the middle of nowhere, and Crystal flies through before him. What he sees on the other side is—
Do you have a time-scale of how long you want to stay around? Or how much you wish to help?
"Until I'm no longer useful. And I'm not useful for—managerial things. I'm too broken."
Felix hugs the new Sadde a bit tighter. He is concerned that not being efficient will prolong your suffering longer. Is there anything we can do to help make your stay easier?
"Worrying about being as efficient as possible is likely to cause blunders that will only make my stay longer. But I don't think there's anything you can do, no."
We should spend time figuring out what resources you have so we can figure out what to do with them.
We don't know the full capabilities of sorcery. You mentioned that you have a couple of trinkets, but didn't specify them. Even if the physics of this universe are too different from yours you could have scientific knowledge that could still be useful to us. There might be other things lost to us due to non-obvious cultural differences.
"Ah. Yes. I think of these, sorcery is the most useful—my other trinkets are small things I traded or got as gifts, like a notebook that never ends or ice that never melts. Given that I'm—in a spaceship made of stone, I'm not sure any scientific knowledge will be applicable, but anyway the best way to share it is not listing everything I know, it's me learning enough about your culture to guess what you might be missing."
Fair enough. We can have people talk about culture to you then. What can sorcery do? It might not be as useful as the local magic.
"It's rather flexible. It can do interdimensional portals and wards and physical enhancements and various small spells... I could write you a list of everything I know of sorcery, probably."
Please do. Are you interested in acquiring resources? We could see if local magic works on other worlds.
At that he cracks a small smile. "Have you met him?" he asks, gesturing at the other Sadde.
Fenris smiles. We have, but it was worth asking. I'm organizing people over to explain our world to you. Lord is going to want to take a look at you. Some of our metamages are going to want to take a look at your magic.
He nods. "Thank you." He looks at the other Sadde. "How do you deal with the genderfluidity?"
That is absolutely fantastic. Lord is going to pester you to produce all samples of everything ever, but overall that is absolutely fantastic.
