[It's been somewhat quiet recently, so Rita's been spending quite a bit of time in the library, studying all she can about the subjects exclusive to Luceti. If you were to actually see her there, she'd be sitting in a spot next to the window, surrounded by textbooks and scribbling things down in a notebook that looks hand-bound. She's making sure

On your first point, there doesn't seem to be anything of that sort. They keep to themselves, mostly

[ritachiquita]

Hmm... Okay. So, if you've already got some kind of previous knowledge about water or fire magic, you'd probably have a better chance?

Also, listening properly? Is there a specific way to do that, like meditation or something? I'm afraid magic works quite a bit differently where I come from, so I've never really had to communicate like this before.

...Sorry if it seems like I'm asking a lot. Your response was already extremely helpful, so... um, thank you.

Oh, and no worries- I'll be careful. I'm not going to try anything outrageous right away; I'd like to learn what I can first, and then study the formulas I already have to see if I can modify them in any way.

[wise_maiden]

Yes, though doubtless there have been exceptions, depending on the pact-seekers determination. Although there are many spirits in conjunction with a particular element; whether or not you are able to get to the main one depends on if they decide they trust you.

Meditation is one way, yes, though sometimes they'll call out to you. Usually to one person at a time; they either communicate telepathically or verbally. It is very different from ordinary magic; it's like summoning, save you are able to control the magic itself once it is granted to you.

Due to the recent situation in which people were possessed by these spirits, albeit it not being an ordinary occurrence, I would be a bit wary of trying too much out. We do have classes at the school to aid with learning magical control, though we are taking a small break from classes for the summer months.

I see. Good.

[ritachiquita]

I see. I guess the most effective way to learn would be by experience, then.

We'll try to take it easy, then- it seems like contacting all of them is going to take some time anyway, so there's no reason to do anything too quickly.

...I've never actually attended school before. I wonder if it would be beneficial to check it out after the summer is over...

[wise_maiden]

Indeed. The more you try, the better your chances. It'll come with time; and some pacts are easier to make than others.

You're certainly welcome to attend.

[ritachiquita]

Thanks a lot for all your help. I'll think about it.

You wouldn't happen to be Raine Sage, would you? I'd been told that she was well-informed about this subject.

[wise_maiden]

Very well then.

Is that so? Yes, my name is Raine Sage. And... you're a housemate of Yuri's, aren't you?

[ritachiquita]

Yeah, I also come from the same original world as Yuri. Rita Mordio.

[wise_maiden]

Yes, he's mentioned that before.

It's good to meet you, then, Rita.

[ritachiquita]

You too.

I'll definitely be sure to let you know what I find out.

[wise_maiden]

All right. I wish you good luck.

[ritachiquita]

Thanks again.
