"Cool, how does your changing work? I haven't tried anything like that. Once tried to making a seed germinate and felt the 'tug', be careful of the damn tug."

"Mm. It just—does? Like I want to change and I do."

"Huh, how much can you change? Are you using it right now? Maybe the spell picked up on the fact that you are using magic instead of being magical. I haven't checked to see if anyone can do it, but the book is moderately famous and there weren't a lot of fans in the internet claiming that the book's exercise worked."

Gosh, this Temple character is very chipper.

"Not using it right now, no, but I use it to practice my horrible vice of being genderfluid in a more thorough way than mere makeup."

"That is a more practical use than I expected. Can you use it to heal small wounds?"

"Mmhm, bruises and such."

"Cool, I wonder if spellcasting can expand on that, but I suspect it's something to be careful about. Hey, wanna come to my place and do magic experiments?"

"...nnnooooo, we've just met, you could be from a magic conspiracy wanting to kidnap me."

"True, for all I know you could be from a conspiracy too. Uh, well, do you want to find somewhere neutral where we can do magic experiments or something?"

"You're the one who approached me!" he protests. "Anyway, got a place in mind?"

"It was an impulse decision! I don't know how rare magical people are, maybe we are the only ones in the city! Well, there is that park nearby? I think we can get enough cover that no one would notice the scrolls disappearing, as long we don't do anything too attention-getting like flying."

"...you can fly?"

"Yup, it lasts like, 8 minutes by default and is a lot of energy, but yes! I can probably get it to work better, but I keep getting distracted by new things."

"How do you get distracted from flying."

"By trying to figure out how to stay invisible long enough so I can fly outside."

"Just go out in the evening, humans don't look up."

"Thought about it, even considered doing it by casting invisibility to go up and again to go down, but then I got distracted with figuring out how the other things work. I think I discovered how to extra-charge scrolls in the same day? My notes are back at my house, but I am sure something kept coming up."

"Hmm, fair enough, I guess, but still, flying."

"Oh, believe me, I know even just inside flight was great!"

Where is this the conveniently located park?

Just over there, and there they are.

"Okay, so, show me the goodies," he asks when they're reasonably isolated.

Temple doesn't have his notes, but of course here are some goodies: Here is what he has been calling The First Wind Spell (he pats the paper) and you can make a scroll by writing a spell down and willing the magic like this, and you can also charge it up further like this. Temple had no luck with things like invoking the power of the plastic but he managed to call upon the power of fire (hasn't set anything on fire yet), wind, water, earth, sun, moon, sky and so on. Writing on non-paper surfaces also works. Quality of paper apparently doesn't matter. This is his magic detection spell. This is the flight spell. This is telekinesis. This one is for light but he is not sure about its range...

He writes.

It shimmers.

He ooohs.

Cool. Does Sadde want to experiment further? See if they can charge up each other scrolls? Maybe they could figure out casting together?

Duck yeah.

"Duck?"
