"...what's electricity?"

--wait, no, that is definitely and 100% against a bunch of godagreements! You're not just supposed to intervene in things! You have to get your humans to do that!

Actually Nethys negotiated an exception where he's allowed to make visitors from Earth who don't know magic exists be surprisingly chill about the concept of magic.

No one thought it would come up much.

He likes Baba Yaga, okay? Magic house with chicken feet. Very Nethysian.

"Oh, we have those spells. And you use them to restart people's hearts?"

Resurrection without diamonds, Resurrection without diamonds, Resurrection without diamonds--

Permalink

"You'll need CPR to restart a heart that has stopped, and defibrillation can turn a bad-CPR-rhythm into something more survivable. --CPR doesn't need equipment." Which should be good news to him seeing how badly equipped the hospitals are. "Just training and good luck."

Resurrection without equipment.

"Can it be done by someone who isn't a caster?"

Permalink

"...we have no casters and people regularly succeed in it."

"...then how do you do magic?"

Permalink

"We... don't?"

Permalink

"...none at all? But what does the Buddha do?"

Permalink

"He achieved Nirvana and taught others how to."

...so he's within one step of Neutral Good. That's fine. Chrisor can work with this. Good is just Evil which hasn't discovered how glorious Evil is yet. 

He's not going to get fucking Lastwall get their hands on this. 

"Our gods tend to be more interventionist, they give people abilities like the one I'm currently using. --Your medical techniques can be used by anyone then? Like plows?"

"You need training to use our medicine. CPR is unusual in that you can train someone in one day. For something more comprehensive, you need years of training. I'll admit I don't know enough about plows to know how much training you need for one."

"How high Intelligence do you need? --Or Wisdom or Charisma, I guess."

Why does this place keep using words strangely. "You need to be smart, but you make it sound... quantifiable."

"--I suppose you wouldn't-- we have spells that can detect people's levels of those qualities." And also read their mind, but he doesn't need to mention that to Bun, now does he. "I can do it for you when the Zone of Truth is up, if you like. --What kinds of things can you do with... non-magical healing?"

Permalink

"Prevent and treat infections, set bones, keep hearts and lungs and kidneys functioning-- Those are examples. There are still things that we cannot treat, but they are thankfully getting less and less."

Permalink

"...prevent infections? So if a child was going to get the pox, could you prevent it?"

Permalink

...of course they don't have vaccines. Why would he have ever thought they had vaccines. "You could, yes. ...We actually eradicated smallpox, because we stopped so many people from getting it." The list of things he needs to help this world get right now is growing alarmingly long.
