It involves careful research to balance the different ritual components until you have something that is at minimum useful, but ideally also efficient. Felix is happy to share the rituals he knows, but his current selection is limited since he... wasn't planning to be cut off from his home world.

Permalink

Can they be reverse-engineered?

Permalink

To a degree, yes. But they are lacking part of the metaphorical vocabulary and Felix doesn't know how much they can advance without that. They might be stuck with mostly-protection oriented rituals, healing and sorcery gifts until contact with Felix's worlds is stabilized again.

Permalink

And what are the risks from... rogue sorcerers?

Permalink

The local kind of magic is significantly more versatile and flexible than sorcery. Stronger too. Felix doesn't think there is going to be a large quantity of these problems and less so a quantity that can't be solved with the resources they have at their disposal.

Permalink

Okay. That sounds reasonable, then. They would like Felix and Kaede to be reachable and serve as consultants in the long term, and in the short term they'd like them to commit as much as they know to writing as possible.

Permalink

Of course. They actually have done some of the writing already, but they are still working on making the notes useful (translating, formatting, confirming-that-they-are-accurate).

Permalink

Very well. Will they come with the delegations, then?

Permalink

Felix looks at Kaede for confirmation and - presuming an affirmative - nods.

Permalink

Indeed. Off they go.

Permalink

Felix is generally going to be quiet and hug Kaede a lot.

Permalink

Well Naoh wants to know more about the magic, and the lady in robes, who finally introduces as Vamm, no title, has several questions about the other worlds.

Permalink

Felix can answer their questions. Felix himself wants to know how open he should be about the entire sorcery business?

Permalink

...maybe keep it quiet for now.

Permalink

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. More magic-and-worlds questions?

Permalink

Yes, lots of those.

Transport by wagon is slower and less comfortable than flight, but does give one more time to appreciate the scenery from below as the sun starts moving towards the horizon.

Permalink

Scenery is an advantage, yes.

Where exactly are they going?

Permalink

The capital.

Permalink

Oh, what can they tell Felix about the capital?

Permalink

Well what does he want to know?

Permalink

General things, since he doesn't know what to ask. Maybe they could tell him about the place where they are going to stay?

Permalink

At the embassy. It's rather pretty and spacious, actually a whole wing of the palace.

Permalink

Isn't that a bit... much?

Permalink

Why does he think so?

Permalink

Well, it is not that he isn't grateful for the hospitality. He just doesn't think he merits a whole wing.
