@DevilofScarlet_ Excellent. I'd likely be a subpar maid with my pre-existing conditions, so this is preferable and optimal.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

It's rather cold tonight. Mayhap this outfit shall be enough for a brief outing...

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell It's relieving to know that dedicating my life to such study has yielded respectable results. Your compliments are appreciated.

*A slight smile could be seen in response, a rare sight for her.*

I'm sure you know where I can be found, so feel free to visit and deliver the books.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell I had to use an advanced cross-plane gate spell, and such spells are dangerous to use indoors, so I had to wait for nightfall and then find a suitable open field.

*She puts a hand on the large cube of salt, magically shrinking it down before storing it in a small bag.*

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell I could use a copy of Grimoire Othello, if you have an extra. It's been difficult to acquire an intact one.

*She yawns a little stretching her arms above her head.*

The path here wasn't difficult, but I don't leave home during daylight, the sun damages my hair.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell But that magic is too much, it goes far beyond what I want and makes me too physically strong to handle things delicately, so it's not ideal as an all-day spell.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell I have ever and always endured to solve things myself...

*She replies, breathing slowly for a moment, before standing up straight again and collecting herself.*

The best solution I've found is trying to mimic the superhuman magics used by that one monk at Myouren Temple.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell I've tried a number of things, but I've yet to find something that permanently solves the problem. Most enchantments tend to fade after a while.

*Finally, she claps her hands together, and the cube solidifies, the scent of sea salt filling the air, followed by several coughs.*

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell It was merely an example.

*She finishes performing the somatic movements, then, with a hard shove towards the space in front of her, a large cube of sea salt slowly begins to shimmer into existence.*

The one I had in mind was just a simple ritual to help mitigate my asthma.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell In my experience, the emotions you should channel vary from spell to spell.

*She grits her teeth, eyes glowing purple as she exerts herself, but she remains calm.*

Applying wrath to something like this tends to distort it, even if the overall output does increase.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

What a ridiculous assumption.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell Very well. I shall do my best.

*She takes a slow, deep breath, collecting herself before uttering an incantation and performing those some somatic movements, this time more exaggerated to account for the greater size.*

This should work, so long as I do not falter.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell My flesh is notoriously fragile, unfortunately.

*A cough follows her words, the flame in her hand flickering for a moment.*

But my aptitude for magic far exceeds my poor constitution, and so...

*She clenches her fist, and a cube of sea salt replaces the flame.*

I can manage.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell The list of rituals that I must study is... rather oversized.

*She sighs, taking a deep breath before performing the somatic motions for a basic conjuration, a white, salty flame appearing in her hand.*

One of them does require sea salt, so that is an ample place to start.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell Normally I'd have my doubts about such a claim, but if anyone could back it up, it's you.

*She breathes a sigh of relief. She's rarely wrong, and today was no different, thankfully.*

How soon may we begin?

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell Your old name and title? Was it not Hecate, Magician Goddess of the Greek Pantheon? Or am I mistaking you for another? Foreign myth isn't my strongest subject.

*She sighs at her own lack of certainty.*

Mayhap I need to refresh myself on it once more...

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell Normally, it would be out of date, but some older ritual-cast spells still call for material components, and as a grand magician, I must master them.

While I could likely adapt each of them to function without materials, such a thing would be easier if I cast them once first.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DissidentHell Mostly materials or reagents to use with other spells. It can be very annoying to procure things like sea salt when I have no direct access to the ocean, so conjuring it is one of the only options I have.

[Patchouli Knowledge @witch_patche]

@DevilofScarlet_ Please do not make me get the sun lamps.
