Re: Seeing Magic in Simple Things

“So you use a focus for druid magic, and then your - usual magic just kind of flows through you?” Rory asked, looking for clarification. “The way it was explained to me is that the lines and diagrams kind of shape the magic and focus it. If it’s a complex spell, the diagrams get more complex too.” ...

Re: Seeing Magic in Simple Things

“Essence?” Rory tilted her head. “Like magical energy? You see the traces it leaves behind?” She picked up the stone, holding it in her hand and staring. It looked like an ordinary stone, but it felt - buzzy, sort of. Squinting, she tried to concentrate but she couldn’t really point to anything in ...

Re: Seeing Magic in Simple Things

“Um, tea would be nice,” Rory said. “What would you recommend with the fig pastry?” She pointed to the still untouched sweet. “I’ve got a black tea, a little dry, that would go well,” Colle suggested. “Is that what you’d like?” “Sure,” Rory said agreeably. Colle smiled and left to go back to the co...

Re: Seeing Magic in Simple Things

Crossing to the third shelf Colle had indicated, Rory glanced over at a man sitting at a table, book open in front of him. He had a rock as big as his fist - wait, now it was a sphere? She watched unabashedly as the man made it morph, the surface rippling as though it was boiling. The stone floated ...

Re: Seeing Magic in Simple Things

Scowling, Rory stomped down the walkways of Ajteire. The librarian had insisted - increasingly firmly - that Rory find somewhere else to spend the afternoon. Another patron had said something about a cafe with books, so Rory decided she’d find it. Then she’d only come to the library once in the morn...

Re: Research Gone Awry

Rory scrunched her face in confusion. “I didn’t cross a river either. And yeah, there should’ve been one.” She stared at the map as though it had lied to her. “What’s this now about cursed trees though?” That at least sounded interesting. “Are the trees actually moving? Is it some sort of illusion m...

Re: Research Gone Awry

“Uh,” Rory said, a bit taken aback at this small, loud, colorful child approaching. But maybe she knew something more about the area; obviously she knew what maps were, and she was out here by herself. “Tika, was it? I’m Rory,” she said, pointing to herself. “Let’s sit on that log over there and I ...

Re: Research Gone Awry

Rory started as she heard the jingle of metal and tromping of another traveler. She stood and held up her map like a shield - a very flimsy shield, but one nonetheless. The traveler proved to be a - a dwarf in heavy leather armor and chainmail. Correction, a grumpy dwarf and lots of axes. He shouted...

Re: A (fledgling) Wizard in Ajteire [OPEN]

“Well, you certainly know your way around a library,” the librarian said with a small smile. “If you can shelve a basket or two of books a day, then you may borrow any five books you like at a time.” ‘Five?! Five was like, a night’s reading!’ Rory thought. ‘But, still better than nothing.’ “Thank y...

Research Gone Awry

Roridula Lunatus knew many things; some things she’d learned from books, others from teachers, and some from experience. What she didn’t know right now was exactly where she was. Rory took the map she had, gave it a quarter turn, frowned, and turned it back. She was trying to find a path to the Lame...
