In Paraasilan, Esmaar, a pair of roommates are about to break a rule that, compared to the one about running in the corridors or even the one about unlicensed teleportation, is there for a good reason.

In unison, they complete their shared spell.

"I suppose they operate on a similar principle to lifts? Floating from place to place? It seems convenient."

"A supply of wood," is the first thing that comes to mind. "If it's possible to obtain some at a price you find reasonable. I have magic with it, and I'd like to continue my experiments."

"They are... another kind of magic, I suppose you could say. Or possibly religion. In Welce the distinction is less than clear. Forty-three symbols, divided into five groups each associated with an element, and the last three blessings are called 'extraordinary' for not belonging to any element in particular. It's common practice in Welce to go to a temple every so often and draw some blessings from the bin, and the drawn blessings usually prove relevant to one's immediate future in some way. For example, a few hours before you summoned me, I drew 'surprise' three times in a row."

"By my best estimate, I don't believe I will need more than a third your weight in wood. Unless the only wood available to buy is very unusually dense, or you are secretly made of spun sugar."

Which he knows at least her skeleton isn't, but he doesn't see a good reason to bring that up.
