Ohoh. How wasteful. [ she cackles ]

[knowthestakes]

More like good riddance to bad rubbish.

[witchingold]

You would hold quite the grudge to a mere book. Why is that, I wonder?

[knowthestakes]

Because if I just toss it in the trash, I know I'll be tempted to get it back later on. You can't do that with ashes, right?

[witchingold]

Didn't you know? It is not difficult to repair a broken object, even that book of yours, to its original form.

[knowthestakes]

[a careful tone]

But that's magic, isn't it?

[witchingold]

Indeed. ... Magic is not impossible to use in this place after regaining powers. Is that not so?

[knowthestakes]

Sure, it's so. And so is the fact that I've seen people burnt at the stake for admitting to have such powers.

[witchingold]

Ohoh. How scary. And yet, one should not hesitate to admit to what they are or what they are capable of. [ cacklecackle ]

[knowthestakes]

It never hurts to have something up your sleeve, though, just in case.

[witchingold]

... And what of you? Were you one to use magic in your own world?

[knowthestakes]

Only at school, but I'm already pretty sure that it's a different sort of magic than what you're talking about.

[witchingold]

I have found that magic works uniquely from fragment to fragment. I would indeed like to hear of what magic you are familiar with using.

[knowthestakes]

[gives Beatrice a wary once-over before replying]

I can summon creatures to do what I want, like fairies and unicorns.

[And dragons and demons and imps.]

[witchingold]

Ohoh. A useful ability, indeed. There are many who attempt to learn how to use magic, only to have difficulty to master the art of summoning.

[knowthestakes]

I was...scouted for my potential, my headmaster said. How the hell he could tell, though, I don't know.
