"Icky? But I guess I could make stuff out of them! They'd be unusual!"

"You can't really argue that I'm not holding my eyes!"

Permalink

"I guess I can't!"

"If you don't want to, that's fine, obviously." But she bets you could make something really cool with her eyes specifically. And also other parts of her! But her eeeeeeeyyyyeeees.

"I can do the analysis on your... parts... but not while it they are still part of a living thing."

Kareen puls out--a skull, because why not go all in on being morbid. 

It's not old and dry like Barnabas's. She contemplates it. 

"This is weird even for me."

Permalink

"I would imagine." If she's not gonna immediately yeet the skull out of the situation Aadhya will get started analyzing it for its uses while her shoe leather is soaking.

Permalink

Kareen will put down the skull and then pull out a box of eyeballs and a small assortment of the bones that seem likeliest to be useful.

"You are good for... luck charms, pretty much across the board, and - space warping? - and I'm not sure exactly how I'd incorporate them physically and might mostly just want the corneas for that reason, but your eyes really wanna be a crystal ball or a set of spectacles or something with divinatory purposes. Happy?"

"Delighted! Sorry for being creepy."

Permalink

"I will forgive you."

Permalink

"Oh!" She snaps her fingers and pulls out a twist of hair. "Hair's not creepy. I think. In, you know, normal amounts."

Permalink

Cast cast. "Wizard hair in general is good stuff, it doesn't even count for my affinity because it grows out of all our heads. But yours is special enough that I can get something off it. I'd weave it into rope, probably - protective enchantment on a belt?"

Permalink

“Your affinity is so cool. Am I at risk of taking mal parts—in general or in particular—outside its bounds if I distribute them too freely?”

Permalink

"I... have no idea!"

Permalink

"I suppose we'll cross that bridge if we come to it but I hope not."

Permalink

"I do think it's perfectly safe to duplicate things a zillion times after I make them so when I make a lucky bracelet out of your finger bones you can mass produce them as much as you like."

Permalink

"It's not really a materials anymore at that point."

Permalink

"It's sort of a gray area but my affinity's role in how magical the thing is is no longer a major factor at that point."

Permalink

"Well. Also that, yes."

Permalink

"I knew someone who graduated last year whose affinity was repurposing already-enchanted stuff - worked on potions too."

Permalink

"Ooooooooh. Who?"

Permalink

"His name was Ricardo Rivera, if you want to check if Patience got him."

Permalink

"Wasn't my intention but I should do that anyway."

Permalink

"Obits go out but don't really come back in, so we don't usually find out if anyone senior to us made it."
