"Not in my sleep."

"Well, that's beyond anyone," she admits.

"I have enough attention to spare to do it at other times as long as I don't decide it's a lesser priority than some other task I want to add."

"Okay. That'd be a bit of an attention drain, mind."

"I have attentional capacity blessings. I'm not sure how to render it into translateable terms - ah - I can have a couple dozen conversations at once? I don't always have all of this turned on, it can be boring if I'm not doing and thinking about many things, but I have plenty to spare for this."

"Oh. Convenient."

"Yes. Efficiency is also desirable, of course, but I can cheat a bit in its absence."

She has a few tips for efficiency!

Oh good!

Efficiency: super useful. Unless you are a Great Mage or Odette Zavier. She mentions as much.

"Surely it's still useful, if not as high a priority?"

"Oh, in some circumstances, but--there's a difference between 'making something you can already do more efficient' and 'trying to get a more efficient version of something so you can do it at all.'"

"Ah, yes. How does one accomplish the latter?"

"It's a bit of an art. More detailed commands or requests or insistences, mostly."

"Can you give me examples?"

"Okay--so suppose someone's had their arm lopped off, and I want to grow them a new one. If I have enough power, I can make their body regrow it. But if I don't have enough power to just issue that command, I can detail exactly how the cells should replicate to create the new limb, and see if I have enough power for that."

"Ooh!"

"See, the first way, you're making the magic do the information handling as well as the regrowing itself. The more specific you get, the more you can do."

"That explains why I could find the volume of the planet."

"Exactly."

"It's a tidy system in its way."

"Tidy. Now there's a word I haven't heard used to describe it before."

"It's not its dominant feature but it has its symmetries and balances."

"I mean, you're not wrong."
