Broadcast

[The video pops up with Adalwolfe's face centered in the camera, but with the background moving behind him, clearly showing the familiar corridors of the Iskaulit. He's making his way to his new job at Málum as bartender.]

So I noticed on the list of scheduled lectures posted a bit ago that there are several on magic, not to mention several people I've spoken with having positive or relaxed reactions to its use. It's incredibly strange to me that everyone is so open and accepting of this, considering the doctrine regarding magic in my home of Thedas, so it begs the following question and I hope at least someone from outside of Thedas will indulge me:

What is magic like on your world? Is it regulated? Does everyone have the ability to use it, or only a small number of people? Are there prejudices that go along with that.

Ah, well, I suppose that's more than one question. Still, if you're willing to talk about it, please feel free to respond to this post and I'll get back to you when I'm finished with work. Thank you!

[The video clicks off.]


Action

It's only a short walk from the hanger to the bar, but Adalwolfe takes his time since he can't watch where he's going very well as he's recording on his device. Which could lead to all kinds of problems. He seems to be avoiding walls okay, but if a person, say, came out of a corridor nearby or happened to step in front of him at just the right time before he put down the little screen, he might just bowl right into them, or walk right past without noticing a mischievous foot out for him to trip over. Honestly, he's an open target. Or at least seems like it...

Right? I never ever thought I'd find such a place as this.

[wolfehawke]

It's got its problems, but I think I'll take them over always being on the run from Templars.

[Hmm...]

So what sort of mage are you? Do you specialize in any particular sort of magic?

[mistyday]

In my world, every witch has specific gifts - not everyone can do every power. Only the Supreme can do all of them. Most of my magic has to do with growth and givin' life though.

[wolfehawke]

Creation and natural magic, interesting and very useful. I'm more adept at throwing combat spells mostly, tossing about the elements as weapons. I know a few others, but my creation magic is abysmal. Good enough for a field medic but that's about it.

[mistyday]

I should know more spells. Miss Cordelia was teachin' me some but... I don't have the books I'd need here.

[wolfehawke]

Who needs books? I didn't learn from books. Well, not many anyway, and my father's journals hardly count if he was the one to write them. Maybe I could show you a few things, if you wanted, and I could see what you know.

Like... an exchange.

[Or a club. Magic club. Seems good.]

[mistyday]

Oh, I'd love that!

[wolfehawke]

Fantastic! I'll see what I can do about arranging a place to meet. Are there places on the Iskaulit, do you think?

[He doesn't know it that well yet.]

[mistyday]

Oh yeah! There's a bunch of empty rooms so we don't fuck anything up.

[wolfehawke]

Great! Just let me know when you're free next. I'm on my way to work but otherwise I'm open to whenever.

[mistyday]

Okay! I'll be in touch!
