[ video | day ] charms and sigils and runes, oh my!

[ Geir is, for once, not wearing his veil; instead, he is mending it. While his mask is still covering one eye, the rest of his face is open. He doesn't give more than a moment for anyone to notice this, however, instead moving right into speaking, even as he sews. ]After the fey that ran wild and hearing stories, I am offering services. Charms,

Do they work?

[halfcarved]

I would not offer them if they did not.

[limu_o_pele]

You might. People do it all the time. Sell charms and things when all that's really powering them is superstition and faith.

[halfcarved]

Others would. I would not.

[limu_o_pele]

So what does power them?

video;

[halfcarved]

Magicks. [ What else? ]

[Well I hope you're ready to be bombarded with questions, Geir.]

From yourself? Then how do you make it stick? Blood? Or do you create magic in the object? The crafting? Or is it from someone or something else?

[ He really isn't, and he blinks for a moment before answering. ]

For sigils and runes, they are carved to object or body with a knife. For the charms, magic is cast upon them. Magic of ones own in the shape of a grimoire is not required for the first, but is for the second.

So the symbols just call magic to them? Even here? And what's a grimoire?

video;

[halfcarved]

There is much of it here.

A grimoire contains magick knowledge and powers.

[limu_o_pele]

Yes, but it isn't necessarily going to follow the same rules you're used to at home.

Like the spellbooks in the stories?

The energy is the same.

Close.

[limu_o_pele]

Maybe it's like a basic, then. Like gravity.

Close?

video;

[halfcarved]

It would seem so.

It is... of the flesh.

[A slight tilt of her head.]

I don't understand.

[Or more, she's imagining a book made of skin.]

[halfcarved]

It is on the body. A part of the person.
