Second Post [Video]

[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?

Like mathematics.

No, no, I mean-- mathematics can quantify everything around us. It's not magic, obviously, but when you describe the Charter like that, it makes sense that it might be based in a sort of mathematically linguistic equation. It isn't exact, but I think it means your 'magic' is tied intrinsically to science.

Have you ever heard the phrase 'Magic's just science that we don't understand yet'?

It was said by notable science fiction author and futurist Arthur C. Clarke.

If you're willing, I'd maybe like to study your magic. Um-- a little less hands-off than what you're offering here.
