Appointments

Do the thing. Do it. You know you want to.

Date - type of post - filter type if necessary.

[Okay, notebook out, journal out.]

How have you been settling in? This seems a strange lifestyle, that the people of Luceti lead.

[Ondorus nods.]

The idea of other worlds besides the Forest of Beginnings is very rarely explored in literature, and to my knowledge has never been treated as a real possibility.

[Ondorus smiles a little. Now they know it's more than just a possibility, don't they?]

The main reason I wanted to speak with you was to share what I've observed about rune energy in this world. Do you use magic, Raven?
grapecape: (so unfortunate)

[Nod.]

The short of what I have found is that there is simply less rune energy available in Luceti than there would be in our world. It still behaves as it should, being more concentrated in flowers and growing things, but somehow the amount that can be absorbed is far lower than is convenient for casting magic.

Perhaps not regularly.

[...He's quiet for a moment, thinking about what he had read in the guide. About the person who had been killed only a week before. About unpredictable "shifts" and their possible effects.]

There are dangers here. Not the kind we are familiar with, and not a constant threat - but dangers nonetheless.

I will be looking into contacting the spirit Nala to learn the healing magic of this world, and I recommend that you do the same. Whether or not you are interested in contacting any other spirits, a reliable healing spell is an invaluable resource to have.

As for our own magic - a dedicated garden may be able to produce a sufficient amount of rune energy. [Edible plants are the most efficient source, after all.] If needed, one could be grown indoors, with planter pots.

I'm sure we can learn.

[...yeah neither is he. Desert life and all. There are books on the subject, though!]

It is. I still don't entirely understand how the system works, but there is no risk and much benefit in exploring it.
