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?

In my experience, summoning is tricky, messy business best avoided. Usually the one being summoned is more dangerous than helpful anyway.

As far as learning your spells, I've actually been discussing a sort of magically-oriented get-together of some sort. A sort of magical support network here in Luceti. Consider yourself invited.

Yes. You're right about that. It's very tricky and dangerous if done wrong as well. [ Helios has first hand experience and all. ] Oh really? That sounds delightful! You know with all the magical oriented people here I'm surprised there isn't one already.

[ There's a light chuckle on his end. ] I'll glad join. It sounds like something Luceti could use. Perhaps pooling our magic together when can find ones that can combine and go together. Maybe make it easier during...drafts and what not.

Right, then. I still haven't come up with a name. Somehow "The Luceti Mage's Guild" just seems kinda boring, y'know?

Perhaps for now that could work. You could always hold a first meeting and have people help decide. I know usually with these sorts of things having a voting system off the beginning is always a nice thing.

[quicktoanger]

Right. For now, I guess I'll just cast around for anybody interested in joining in, and once I've got some likely candidates I'll arrange a meeting. I'm not much for this kind of thing typically.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of interest. Magic is more commonly used here and talked about in the open at least. And you're not? I couldn't even tell to be honest. If it's any consolation I always have to make faculty meetings...never really got the hang of it, to be honest. It's always a bit nerve wracking when you talk in front of people, especially people you don't know.

... Clearly we're going to be awesome at this.

[ If you could only hear Helios chuckling on his end Harry. ] Well. Learning as we go isn't too bad of an option. It might even help become a good example for people to learn by.
