Too Cold for Verbosity

[fightingofthespirit]

Bloody heck. Someone cast an 'absolute zero' spell or something? There goes any chance of working this week on the cann -- err. The fireworks machine. Hey, maybe I ought to go find that fireball slinging loon. Couldn't hurt to warm up a bit.

Class, your assignment is to stay indoors and get yourselves a mug of hot chocolate. Automatic F if you don't put in any marshmallows.

Oh, yes. Sir Wizard, of course.

I appeared on this island with several tomes of magic -- I've been studying those quite religiously, along withany relevant material I can find in the library. It seems, though, that magic operates differently from world to world. I've had to go with my gut instinct on what could work here.

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

Really? I wonder, would you be able to tell me anything about these?

[She hands him a blue crystal about the size of her palm.]

I arrived with several of these. I've been looking into books here to see if I can find out what they are, but nothing has been able to help me so far.

((That would be magicite, and yes, it is magical.))

((I've waited so long to use this icon; I just can't resist. >_>))

A-Ah!

There's no doubt about it. The sheer mana packed into this stone is almost physically tangible. Incredible . . . It's the exact same feeling as -- . . . Look. I haven't shown these to anyone else, but here.

[He withdraws several rings from his pocket and shows them to Terra.]

I get the same sensation from these. . . . That's why I've never doubted I have, at least, some connection with magic.

They are magical? Truly? But Erk said they weren't. Unless they're a different kind of magic that she can't sense... Hmm.

[She looks at the rings curiously.]

Those radiate magic as well?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

((Err. Now I'm confused. I thought you wanted me to say it was magical. =X But magicite is used for summoning as well, correct? Just like Klarth's rings. I'll just say he's extra sensitive to summoning magic. >_<))

Hmm. You don't feel it?

When I hold the rings, I feel a sense of . . . something. Something within. I can't quite describe it.

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

((Oh, no, I did! Erk lied to her. XD Sorry for the confusion. About the magicite - she knows there's something strange about them, but she doesn't know what. She can sense the magic, but she doesn't know it is magic.))

I feel something, but I didn't know what it was. Perhaps I'm sensitive to magic as well?

That's like what I feel when I hold these crystals! I wonder what that means.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

It seems possible that your stone may be composed of crystallized mana itself. Perhaps the gems on my rings are, as well.

That's the only hypothesis I can form at this point. There's still so much I don't know . . . It would help if I remembered something. Still at 0, here.

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

I am as well. I wish I could remember something. It really is frustrating.

Thank you so very much for your help today! I had thought these crystals were magic, but when Erk told me they weren't, it confused me. Now at least I know a little more.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm . . . I had heard about island 'events'; I find myself hoping for one to occur soon, despite the warnings of the other islanders.

And no problem at all, Miss . . . Terra, was it?

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

They're... not pleasant. At least the one I was involved in wasn't.

Yes, Terra. Thank you once again. I greatly appreciate it.
