I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, but... um... I have a question?

[ Connie is himself for once when broadcasting, apparently feeling better and better about showing his true face to everyone. He's holding a bit of stick incense in his hand, absently twirling it. ]

Is there... is there any way to measure how much gold is in chroma? I have... the evil kidnapping foxes, they killed my ferret, and I need her back, but the spell is... it needs a component of incense, charcoal and herbs worth a specific amount of gold, and I'm not sure how to balance that in our... money.

[ He sighs, rubbing the back of his head and kind of getting the stick tangled in it. ]

I haven't actually done this without my master. Do summoning spells even work, here?

[ He really hopes so, he misses Grace a lot. ]

It... can be. I mean, my magic is always very... very unstable. Chaotic.

[ He sighs. ]

I just want her back.

[liberaltus]

Chaotic doesn't sound promising, have you had regular magical instruction?

Ah...yes, I can imagine her loss is painful, but it's best not to take the dangerous route if you are uncertain.

[wildsorcery]

No... just... just about a month with my master, and she's a wizard... so it's different. I just randomly learned magic one day.

[ 'Randomly learned magic' sounds better than 'I was stabbed by an assassin and magic just exploded out and killed everyone around me'. ]

...and I know. I'll... I'll look into the summoning items.

[liberaltus]

Randomly learning magic, now that's new to me. I know I was nine years old when my magic manifested which is quite young, but there are circles of magi where I come from and I caught on quick.

Just randomly learning though, do you have a predisposition for magic that you are aware of?

[wildsorcery]

Well, it's... it's called 'wild magic'. Sometimes it just touches someone or lies dormant in their blood, and it makes them able to cast spells - but sometimes... sometimes there are backlashes.

[ He shifts a bit uncomfortably. ]

I also don't really have any say over what kind of spells that come to me.

[liberaltus]

What sort of backlashes?

Really? You don't have branches of magic you can learn from, it's just whatever pops up for you?

[wildsorcery]

Well... um... sometimes it makes me go invisible, or I can only speak with pink bubbles, or I turn into a house plant... or I cast a spell I didn't mean to cast...

[ He trails off a bit. ]

Normally, wizards read and train to learn their spells from different magic schools, but my spells just... they just happen. One day I learned how to cast a lightning bolt and I don't know where it came from.

[liberaltus]

That sounds wildly unpredictable, and these random acts of magic are just...random? There's no particular classification for the magic you perform, you just do it?

Odd.

[wildsorcery]

I'm... I'm sorry. It's just... how it is.
