He gestured at a wraparound sofa for everyone to sit while he collected the teapot off the kettle. "Are the storms here magical, too?" asked Silver, relaxing in one of the sofa's corners.
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 10, 2023 Author Posted January 10, 2023 "Hm? Oh, no. Quite normal." Kris began handing out mugs.

PyroPhile Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 "Does the plant magic interact with any other magic?"

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 10, 2023 Author Posted January 10, 2023 "Not completely, but I doubt any danger will be immediate or life-threatening."
The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Cufre looked uncertain. "But you aren't sure."
S. Stormy she/her Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Quote Cufre sighed. "I'm sorry, that was insensitive of me. I just... you won't have to be alone anymore, okay?" "It's okay. You didn't mean to make me sad." 2 minutes ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "Not completely, but I doubt any danger will be immediate or life-threatening." Gone did an upside-down smile.* Quote Gone was frowning too much.

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 10, 2023 Author Posted January 10, 2023 "Level one, yeah. I don't expect there to be much of anything for us to actually worry about. That isn't to say that a dragon couldn't descend from the heavens and attack us on a moment's notice."

"You can find it in the academic section in the Inn's library. I have the original copy upstairs, but we should probably worry about that later." Just now, The Aspiring Archivist said: "And you don't think that prodding this man for a piece of his collection will maybe anger him?" "This is a very civil society, I hope you realize. Worst that can happen is we receive a restraining order or pay a fine for harrassment."

But that's a very nice world indeed. "Anyway. I think our best option would be to find our own samples in the wild. It shouldn't be too difficult, unless I'm greatly misunderstanding something..."

Only relatively useless plants are left to the wilds." Kris set a bowl of sugar cubes and some cream on the table. "And the plants have been 'bred,' in a sense, to create versions that emit the most energy and create the most effective results. Finding a wild version of this cactus wouldn't be anywhere near as helpful as receiving a more developed kind."

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 10, 2023 Author Posted January 10, 2023 "There's a small chance, but unlikely. Considering the sudden value this particular species has put on, I don't believe many collectors or institutes will be lending them out anytime soon."
