—wait, are you saying magic like this is like, complicated, even for you guys?

[tothosewhobait]

Mmmm...I suppose it would depend? There are quite a few elements at work right now. And I am curious if this entire room was manifested magically or if we were simply transported? At any rate, it is not a small feat.

[parillegal]

Huh... Wow... I guess I didn't realize magic could be that complicated.

No wonder you guys go to school for it...

[tothosewhobait]

Oh magic is quite complicated. Some things may come easier to some and harder to others. Some people are more naturally gifted with their magic while others require sturdy and practice. Magic in the wrong hands, especially uneducated ones, can be quite dangerous to the user and others alike. A school for it is simply practical.

[parillegal]

Wow... that's so serious!

I understand, though. Spiritual power can be pretty dangerous, too, even if it's not the same as magic. I guess that's why there's so many methods of study for it. There's probably more than one school for magic, too, right?

[tothosewhobait]

Oh certainly. There is even another magic school on the same island as ours. It may seem like it, but magical ability is not actually terribly common where we are from.

[trying to look cool and calm about that but... maya's definitely sparkling.]

That's so cool... All the magic in my world is like, sleight of hand and card tricks.

[tothosewhobait]

Really? All of it...?

[parillegal]

If magic is real, it's a super rare ability. There's enough some people who believe that spiritual power is just magic, but there's even more that believe neither are real at all.

[tothosewhobait]

Spiritual power?

[parillegal]

My family can channel the dead.

[tothosewhobait]

Oh, our school is full of ghosts.

[parillegal]

That's what Kalim told me! Ugh, I wanna talk to ghosts on the reg.

I bet they know all the best stories. And have time to watch all the best TV shows.

[tothosewhobait]

Oh, well, they know quite a bit of what goes on at the school. I would assume anyways.

[parillegal]

So I could get secret ghost gossip just rubbing elbows with the school phantoms?

[tothosewhobait]

Isn't that how gossip works? It's all about who you know and what THEY know.

[parillegal]

Sure is, huh! Guess it's a good thing I'm getting to meet you guys.
