"Yeah, it is."

"Then I hope they can do it for all eternity. They wouldn't mind not bearing the kids, right..."

"They don't, mages almost never do, we're all adopted."

"So being daeva would be fine, then. - we're checking if and how you daevafy, we need to know that to figure out how to help your mortality situation..."

"I wonder what I'd be."

"It's supposed to go off affinity for the magic, but I don't know what precisely that means. Most people are fairies."

"That'd be neat. I'm not sure the wings would suit me."

"I don't think ex-summoner humans grow the wings automatically, and I know you can make part of you go away by not considering it part of you. What we really want are whitemage daeva, daeva can't get sick or injured."

"Two of my siblings are whitemages."

"What we want to avoid are dwindled bluemage and greenmage and redmage daeva, they'd be horribly confused and could take a summons and be even more confused and they'd be in general surrounded by people who have no idea how to work with them. And goldmage daeva would have ...interesting results."

"...yeah. They couldn't kill their jumped selves."

"No they couldn't. Anyway, it might be that when people daevafy they stop being mages, there are other kinds of magic which work that way. We'll know soon. If they do keep being mages, we might go offer trustworthy whitemages the chance right away, so they can heal without limits."

"That'd... I'm not sure what that'd do to the economy but at least they wouldn't be sick all the time."

"I am not sure either but I think it would be worth it."

Nod.

"You can decide if you want to daevafy, once we have results back."

"...there are drawbacks to being a redmage but I could never ever stand not knowing the people I already know."

"Okay. So no if it makes you not a mage, maybe otherwise?"

"Yeah."

"Don't summon until we know, then - if you summon then if you ever die even if it's ten thousand years from now you probably daevafy."

Nod.

"On the other hand if you don't summon then if you die that's it, far as we know. If your world has an afterlife we weren't able to detect it."

"I don't think we do. Can you usually detect them?"

"If people actually physically exist somewhere we can detect that."

"If we did have an afterlife I would assume it would just have disembodied souls."
