"I don't know how to sum up magic here. There's a lot. Not just moving and fighting, though."

"Yeah a lot of places are better filled in like that. It tends to make them harder to summarize."

"Is Terraria not very 'filled in'? Like... A story someone wrote instead of a whole world with all the details?"

"Something like that. It's more about the experience than a story though."

"Mhm. Well, we're filled in and a lot of people like it that way, I'm pretty sure. If you want to know about societies there's two big ones and about half a dozen smaller ones that make the summary. And for magic, you have priestesses, wizards, witches, sorcerers, kitsunes, and weird one-offs. Oh, and artifacts. You're a weird one-off, I'm a kitsune and a priestess."

She smiles broadly. "That's so cool. Being in filled in worlds is a lot of fun. It can sorta happen naturally with enough time and the right starting pieces but it's really hard to do quickly and home really doesn't have the right starting pieces. Some of the other spark holders have tried but it doesn't quite hold together."

"We're making new people all the time around here, I think that probably helps. Well, not me personally, though it might be kinda nice... Are spark holders rare?" And what are they, just 'people like me' like she'd call her sister-kitsunes?

"Oh, we're the hosts! We tweak the world so it's more fun for visitors and to give them new things to experience if they visit more than once."

"Ahhh. The Light Gods are the closest thing to that here in Tirra."

Which is a little bit of a scary thought.

"Maybe! Regardless, I'm just a visitor here so it would be rude for me to try to make changes like that even if I could. Introducing little bits of magic around the edges like the potions I mentioned is probably fine but if the hosts tell me not to I won't even do that."

Her ears twitch slightly in amusement.

"Well, there's nine of them, do you want me to guess what each would say about that based on what I know as a priestess?"

"That would be great. I really don't want to be rude. If I don't hear anything I just try to use my best judgement on what's allowed. Really strict hosts will just make it impossible for me to do some things but I still have my wings and it doesn't feel like my basic abilities are restricted."

"Hmm... I don't know what-all you can do, some of it might be a big deal, but let's see."

"Galasa would want you to explore and do things that make the world better. Better in terms of- Teaching people, helping them be brave, protecting them from bad things. Illumine wants you to please not hurt people too much unless they started it, and even then maybe not. Alteri likes it when people plan carefully and work hard on things that make them proud, whether it's a house to live in or a work of art."

"Otena likes people having friends, family, and lovers. She'd want you to make friends and do fun things together. Tamamo is the goddess of foxes and she likes - whimsy, when people do crazy silly things or get pranked and surprised. She's sometimes a little cruel, though. Isara likes things having nice predictable cycles and ways of working, she might be the most opposed to any big changes."

"Hekosi is hard to explain but I guess, if you wanted to change something big he'd want you to have to really work for it. Erius likes trading and things being fair and justice, and travelling. He'd want you to sell magic stuff. And finally Ragni mostly just wants people to be happy in the moment- Good harvests and things like that. Oh, Ragni especially hates undead. If you make undead he will be really mad at you. Goodness, it's kind of a lot to explain all nine at once."

"So, my main power is that I can make things, mostly fairly specific things and some of those are magic. The other thing that I expect might work here is that I can anchor things when I build them. That makes them a lot stronger and makes them block some dangerous things and also ignore inconveniences like gravity.

"When I'm home I can also tap into the summoning layer and make creatures appear or give out some of my powers to other people but I don't really expect either of those to work here."

"Ooh, magic things? Like those potions. I'd be just a little bit curious to try one if another to go back was right handy and there weren't people who'd want them more, I admit."

"If I can make something I can usually make as many as I want. I don't want to pass out a lot of things like weapons but I'm fine with handing out lots of potions and the herbs used to make them. Seeds too." She produces a small bottle that fits in her palm with a swirling purple and teal liquid inside it.

"Ooh, seeds." She peers at the bottle. "Shiny. Very aesthetic. I take it this is one of the gender change potions? Is it - transmissible, teachable? The only reason wizardry is becoming as endemic as it is in the north is because anyone can learn the simple things by rote."

"Yep, do you actually want to try it. I'll have another one ready in case you don't like it some people react more strongly than others." She holds it out.

"As for whether it's transmissible; making potions is easy. Getting the herbs is a little harder because you need to harvest them at the right times but anyone can learn."

"Mm... Tempting, but I don't have the right clothes for it, or the right people to have fun with it, right now. So, thanks but nah."

"Oh right, I'm so used to clothes automatically resizing themselves. I forget that not all clothes do that." The potion vanishes from her hand.
