SIXTH POST [VIDEO]

[bindsthedead]

Let me repeat what others have said- names have power. Particularly the name of our enemy. Don't speak it or produce it in text or writing unless absolutely necessary. And if you think you're clever or brave for going around shouting that name, I'll put you under a silencing spell so powerful you won't be able to speak again for months. [Sabriel is Not Happy, and actually a little bit scared.]

I have a request- There's an object I found in Sinbrilee- a stone monolith from my world, called a Charter Stone. I need someone with exceptional strength to help me move it- you'll be compensated for your trouble, of course. [And with Malicant's post, Sabriel is eager to get it to a place where she and her students can easily draw on its strength if neccessary.]

I'm also happy to say that I'll be teaching magic at the new school that's opening soon, along with English and music, if people are interested in learning. Timothy Drake, your father told met that you might be interested in studying magic?

[Locked to her students, default encyrption]

I found several more books about Charter Magic during my stay- as well as a Paperwing, although given what's happened, I'd rather teach you about protective spells and wards, rather than weather charms. And once the Charter stone is moved into Keeliai, we'll have a greater source of power to draw from.

Ah, so thou art the magic teacher! I should be pleased to carry thy stone for thee, and perhaps discuss thy arts? For a single kind, you humans draw on a great many different magics.

You can- carry it? It's... a very large stone.

Are you a- a unicorn. [Because Sabriel's read stories about those. Once, when she was very young, she asked her father if there were any unicorns in the Old Kingdom. (there weren't)]

Excellent timing, [murmurs Javert.] I might have found some use for the protective wards some weeks ago.

[Do not worry, Sabriel. It is more a light and absent-minded remark than it is a cutting jab. There is no bitter edge to his tone, particularly since he is unconvinced that those wards would have helped him and his team those weeks ago.]

[bindsthedead]

At least we can use them now. And there's so much here that needs to be protected. [People, turtle eggs, and a certain journal that Sabriel's keeping under as many spells as she knows.]

Most of the basic ones can cover something the size of a suite easily enough.

Do you have any idea what the hell that was? Now who, but how he did it.

[bindsthedead]

Technology isn't my specialty. I suppose it- channeled some part of its power into the consoles, but I don't know more than that. Some idiots decided to speak its name and managed to summon it.

I felt- there was something more than just sound, right before it spoke.

[everylittlegirl]

Wait. You teach magic?

[bindsthedead]

Yes, I do- for some time now, actually- although I'm also hoping to teach English and music.

[disfavored]

Refusing to say his name sounds too much like surrender and fear, doesn't it? We ought to let him know that we aren't afraid, or he'll think we're weak.

[bindsthedead]

His name is like a spell that acts as a summons, drawing him closer each time it's spoken, written or typed out.

It isn't cowardice, it's common sense.

Will it be enough? [To ward off Malicant; he is still a little bit shaken with the surprise on his console, as well as his close encounter with it.]

[bindsthedead]

I don't know. But it's better than doing nothing, and even if it won't work against the enemy itself... it will probably be enough to keep out those working for it.

[Tim is going to kill you, Bruce. Kill you. But he's smiling when he greets Sabriel over the console.]

I am, yes. And you can actually call me Tim. Unless I'm in trouble. Then the full name is a pretty good way to get my attention.

[bindsthedead]

Wonderful! If you're interested in studying the practice as well as the theory a baptism would be neccessary- we're studying protective wards and bindings, at the moment.

[virginprice]

I think learning wards is an excellent idea.

[bindsthedead]

Particularly given recent events. I'll show all of you what I use to protect my own suite.

[video] I am so sorry for being late!

[witchnotwarlock]

Wait, you have magic and you can teach it to other people How does that... I mean, you have to be born with some inherent skill, to start out with, but that's.

[Okay, he'll. Stop right there for a moment, because there's a more pressing concern for him that he can actually help with.]

I can help you move your stone. You don't have to... compensate me or anything, it's not a problem. What does the stone do?

[video]

[bindsthedead]

Well, I'm not- exactly a normal mage, but Charter Magic can be used by everyone.

The stone acts as a focus and source of Charter Magic, to put it simply.

[redjay]

Hi, you're a magician? Fantastic. Can you elaborate on how a name is directly affecting our reality? See, I'm a little bit concern that it's going to ruin my life.

[bindsthedead]

Names hold power- whether written down or spoken. Normally, that's only true if they're used as a component in certain spells, but our enemy is powerful enough that even his name is dangerous.

[seetoomuch_dontseeenough]

[a wild Will appears!]

I'm interested in teaching. Who should I talk to about that?

video

[bindsthedead]

Tarrlok is the Headmaster- you should talk to him.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you intend to teach?

[leviathaned]

...[He's quiet for a moment, not because he's debating being helpful, but because what she's said actually has his interest.]

They didn't mention there was to be a school. Magic, music, and English is a bit odd a combo, isn't it?

[A beat.]

Just how big of a monolith are you talking?

Video

[bindsthedead]

Well, I've always had a bit of a knack for music and magic. [It was practically a requirement for any necromancer.]

As for the English, well, I'm already teaching it to one person, so why not more?

[zinthosmantra]

It sounds like there's going to be quite a curriculum at this school.

[bindsthedead]

Well, hopefully it will all be useful to the students.
