[Sabriel looks exhausted, but there's a certain note of satisfaction in her voice as she speaks.]

Atam was... interesting. I found several rather interesting things there. [Two of them are laid out behind her- a trident and a sword.] Including two books of Charter Magic from my own world. The shopkeeper said he simply found them one day, which brings me to my next point. [A brief look of anxiety comes over Sabriel's face, and her tone becomes something between a student giving a presentation and a teacher giving a lecture.]

I know the kedan are unfriendly, and that many here cannot defend themselves. Since I was a child, I have been taught how to wield a sword, and was tutored at my school in the basics of sorcery, and I want to share that knowledge with those who may need it to protect themselves.

[And Sabriel's long white fingers trace a glowing symbol in the air- the mark for light, to be specific, and lets it collapse into a bright pinpoint of light, illuminating the room.]

Charter Magic is not a toy, and can be a powerful tool in the hands of the skilled- a tool to harm, create, heal... or do many other things, if you know the correct symbols and have the power to use them properly.

[Sabriel lets herself relax a little.]

If anyone has any questions or would like a further demonstration, I would be happy to answer any such request here. And I have one inquiry of my own- is there any business in Keeliai that will hire foreigners?

[Big eyes.] How do you get the time to write it all? Like . . . in an emergency?

[bindsthedead]

Most of those spells aren't intended for combat. [And the others rely more on visualization than writing.]

[willofjustice]

What are they for?

[She had to ask. You know she did.]

[bindsthedead]

Enchanting things, mostly. Or creating Sendings- magical servants.

[willofjustice]

Enchanting in what kind of way?

. . . I think people mostly use golems for that in my world. The magical servants part, I mean.

Except they're big. And don't really fit into houses.

[bindsthedead]

As in imbuing mundane materials with magical qualities.

Oh, Sendings are- about the same size as humans. And about the same shape.

[willofjustice]

We do a little of that too! But . . . usually for combat and things. Lina-san told me about a cursed knife once. It tried to kill her and Gourry-san. . . . People do some kind of strange spells.

[She considers a moment.] Do you ever do things for protection? Like . . . enchant an object for that?

[bindsthedead]

You mean magical armor? I'm familiar with the theory, but sadly lacking in practice. [Another thing she wanted to study. Maybe someday, she'd even know enough to create something like a Paperwing.]
