someone plese explain how these buttons are[practicl for siomeone with uust one hand//?

[It’s a few moments after the text is received that a video entry pops up instead. Naugus’ scowling face takes up most of the screen, as he appears to be leaning close and examining it. He seems to not be aware the video feed is already live and functional. A fingertip taps at the glass before he finally sits back to a more reasonable distance. He's an odd-looking figure, with his bat ears, plentiful sharp teeth, horned forehead and long beard. The wizard clears his throat, still scowling.]

I suppose this will have to suffice for now. But really, whoever is behind these planks with lettered buttons on them CLEARLY did not account for something like this.

[Naugus lifts his left hand to reveal that it's instead a crab-like claw. He snaps it twice for illustrative emphasis before lowering it again.]

Ehhn. That aside, I am quite interested in learning what other, aheh, 'heroes' have been summoned to this realm. Feel free to make yourself known and I will deign to do the same.

It's what I get for studying magic more useful as a traveling mercenary than for city life. Thankfully, the basic spells I know have pretty broad uses.

What's wrong with technology?

You never know when having a skill with something will come in handy.

[and if other wizards mistrust mundane solutions, that means Zel has the advantage if he knows them.]

Zelgadis. And if you mean magic, I specialize in shamanism. Spells that use the five elements.

[Someone is very quickly going on 'list of employers to avoid, no, not even if its a really good offer, you know it never ends well'. ]

Is that what they call this sort of magic where you're from?

[Zelgadis counts them off]

Earth, air, fire, water and spirit. The forces of the astral plane.

It's useful. Especially back home, where there are beings that only can be harmed from the astral plane. And are generally none to friendly.

And, yes. It takes less than a day to adapt. Probably to keep us from punching or zapping anyone before we find out what's going on.

... It's not a perfect idea on their parts. If it's on purpose.

You mentioned it.

[still not the worst arrival Zel has heard of]

It was set up by the previous emperor. Unfortunately, someone killed her before you showed up. I assume she set up some sort of failsafe for the spell to continue after her death, but you'd have to ask the current Emperor.

Given most spells from my own world dies with the caster, I can't offer any insight on how the spell is still working without someone to control it.

That probably has something to do with the nature of the spell. I'm told that at one time, people woke up on the shore here.

I'm glad that's done; I'd probably sink.

Or something to do with the original caster. I've known sorcerers with an affinity for water shamanism to work it into barrier spells simply because it was what they were most comfortable.

Exactly. Though I was pretty disoriented at the time.
