There is a lot of time spent making portals to various places. Pantheon starts as the unofficial hub, and then essentially becomes the official one. Prime makes a portal to Iobel's and Edarial's world, and then he gets to checking out the various new planes he has access to. One, in particular. It's really rather minor, in comparison to the others, but he considers it important.
Few people have the chance to - go back, do something again. But the other version of Kystle is a very specific exception. He knows what's in store for it if he doesn't do anything. Genocide for the invaders (Lynn would call it justified, he just thinks murder is murder), a second invasion of New Kystle, immortal psychopaths with sharp weaponry running around - not the kinds of things he wants. So Prime is thinking of ways to circumvent the problem.
It's unfortunately humbling when he finds no moral solution knocking at his door. There are plenty of immoral ones, but he doesn't touch those. Certainly, he could throw the out of work demon hunters at the plane, tell them to kill things, but that hardly solves the underlying problem. Even he, with all his power, can't save an entire planet. His sister couldn't, either. Not even both of them together.
Obviously, he needs more resources. He didn't deal much in other planes, not when the risks were so great. But now - now he knows that there are other versions of him, other versions of Bells. With various types of magic. Prime isn't a greedy man, but he knows new possible resources when he sees hints of them, and he wants them. He can fix - not his mistake in particular, but his mother's, the second bloodline's.
He spends some time scrying, and then he sighs and snaps his eyes shut. Yeah, that's definitely something. He did not need to see a younger version of himself having sex. Ever. Annoying how his alts seem to come in pairs with 'Bells,' it leads to awkward situations like this. Mirrors are retrieved, and then Prime informs everyone of what he's found - another Adarin, another Bell, together and obviously with some kind of magic.
Since Pantheon seems to be their impromptu central base, he retrieves a recent creation of his, and off he goes to meet with Spring. They're going to write a letter.

"I think mute people would have a bad time and not be able to do anything but draw the runes, but - yes?"

"Come to think of it we haven't tried sign language incantations," muses Phix.

"What is the fastest way to find out if people who aren't from your world can runecast?" asks Spring. "Because if we can, this is the first magic we've found that other people can just learn."

"... Ooo! Ooo, okay, I'll go get a scroll and hand it to one of you and then you say something in either Spanish or French."
Darren - dashes off to go do that. He's back in record time, scroll in hand. Grinning manically.

Spring takes it.
"This is, I think, going to dovetail really nicely with the translation spell," she says. "What does this do?"

"Light spell, really simple. You can't say a chant in your first language, it - does weird things. I - guess it would dovetail really nicely with the translation spell!"

Well, Aya has a translation spell on. She reads the incantation provided at the bottom of the scroll in French, aloud.
And then there is a light.

"I mean, the rest of you already have magic, I don't know if runecasting is going to be better than what you have for most things, but it's certainly something!"

"It's not a huge step up for me, unless it can do really heavy-duty stuff with smaller or more convenient setup than I need, since I also do chanting and sometimes also drawing, but Spring has a versatility gap and the spellbinders and mages have usage limit problems."

"Not to mention this is more scale-able since other people can use it," says Edarial, happily.

"Do you think that if we wrote up a - rune spell in Chamomile, that the Alethiometer could help make new spells?"
dark_light
"The alethiometer only works on things within Chamomile. I have a bag with a portal in it so that the alethiometer is technically in Chamomile; I could put a scroll in the bag, too, and then the alethiometer could talk to me about scrolls. But if that one's - empty - then it might not be that informative."

Darren cackles again, and then off he goes to get more scrolls!
He comes back, with more scrolls.
"What's an alethiometer?" he asks, laughing, handing them over.

"... Best day." He pauses, then looks at Phix. "... Second best day! Eeeeee!"

"I admit that I'm amazing, but my amazingness has not mostly been localized to one specific day, when are you thinking of?"
