Re: DAY 86 TEXT - EVENING

[tryse]

Tryse: It would be very frustrating if it didn't, wouldn't it?
Tryse: Still. I'm always open to learn new things.

HUNTER: YOU WANNA LEARN THE GLYPHS THEN?

Re: DAY 86 TEXT - EVENING

[tryse]

Tryse: If you're willing to teach, I'll learn.

[Especially if he's willing to teach for free.]

HUNTER: TEACH ME SOME OF YOUR MAGIC IN RETURN?

Re: DAY 86 TEXT - EVENING

[tryse]

Tryse: I can agree to that.
Tryse: Magic for magic is a very fair trade.
Tryse: I must warn you: You might experience headaches when you first start. Containing these energies involves a bit of pressure that you may not be used to.
Tryse: You eventually stop noticing it.
Tryse: They aren't crippling, more like when you haven't slept in just a little bit too long.

HUNTER: THAT'S OKAY
HUNTER: I'LL WORK REALLY HARD AT IT!

Re: DAY 86 TEXT - EVENING

[tryse]

Tryse: We can begin when you feel ready. Mind you, leaving Egg will be a bit of a chore for me at the moment.
Tryse: I'll mix up the appropriate inks.
Tryse: I'll leave it to you to construct a spellbook.
Tryse: It will have to be large. With many pages. I know of a little over sixty cantrips.
Tryse: The sturdiness will have to depend on whether you plan on traveling with it or not.
Tryse: Also, collecting appropriate feathers for quills is a task I'll leave to you for the moment.
Tryse: Do you know what to look for when it comes to those? Or how to use them?

HUNTER: QUILLS I CAN DO
HUNTER: I'LL LOOK FOR BOOKS IN THE RUINS AS WELL

Re: DAY 86 TEXT - EVENING

[tryse]

Tryse: As a small tip: You'll want the thicker kinds of paper from the paper ruins. Something that will take ink well, but not have much 'bleed'.
Tryse: I'll write your first spell for you. Once you've mastered that, we can let you copy others, so brush up on those writing/drawing skills, if you quill.
Tryse: I'll note this as well: Cantrips are apprentice-level spells. They may replace quite a bit of menial labor for you, if you master them.
Tryse: They cannot be reliably used for combat.
Tryse: Offensively or defensively.

[This is a bit of a lie. If one is creative enough, cantrips can be extremely useful in a fight. But creativity is part of the test, and if he wants to call himself a witch, then Tryse figures he ought to be smart enough to come up with those uses on his own.]
