Second Casefile: Casting Lines [Action/Written]
[Action]
I'd been keeping myself busy for the past week or so, starting when Molly arrived, and had thus far found very little success with anything. There were no thresholds to work with, there were no ley lines to tap into, there were no places rich with magical energy to utilize, and I'd be damned if I was going to try and open a gate to the Nevernever again.
I did not need that bitch of a migraine to come back.
So, along with my apprentice, I began scouting around the village looking for any significant mystical resources. She was also interested in the Filial spirits, but frankly, they sound too much like the Fey for my taste, and I've had quite enough of that, thanks.
Today, however, I was doing something more personally significant. I was going to make myself a new staff, because clearly the old one wasn't showing up any time soon. Unfortunately, this process takes freaking forever, and I had no idea where to start.
So I figured I'd phone a friend.

Hey. Any and all spellcasters, magic-workers, witches, wizards, and anybody else who knows how to work with magic and spellcraft, I was hoping to get some input on the local situation.
Are there any local magic sources, aside from the Filial spirits, that can be tapped into or accessed? Are any of the local flora and fauna significant at all, mystically? Have there been any difficulties you've had using certain kinds of magic? Anything considerably easier?
In essence- What's the deal, anyway?
[Feel free to encounter him as he surveys the village and surrounding environs- he'll be doing odd things like marking, taking paint scrapings, and making notes on a map- or as he surveys the woods for a tree that will provide adequate wood for his staff.]

The Filial spirits are all that exists. If you have magic of your own, that can be used to augment what you have along with new things you may not have been able to use before.
None of the local flora or fauna appears to have mystical properties. Many are edible and some of the flora is useful for remedies, but there is nothing of a magical nature about that.
If you are seeking new forms of magic to draw upon, it may be better to seek out things among the residents. Some worlds have magic that is powered by items that it may be possible to obtain, though very difficult. One thing you may wish to consider is speaking with those in the smithy, there was a mention not too long ago about being able to augment weapons with magic.
My apologies for the length, that was quite a few questions you had there. [And of course he's completely ignoring the part about things more difficult or easier, because he's not been affected at all except by the power cap and inability to summon.]

Is there any sort of group here for wizards and magi of various ilk to discuss and practice their crafts and whatnot?
Re: [Written/Filter at 100%]
Perhaps forming such a group wouldn't be a bad idea, there may well be interest.
