crystals;

[wythersake]

Mlle. Tavane, I've a question regarding Rifter health which I believe you uniquely suited to.

[aberratic]

[ how did you get this number ]

I would be happy to assist, Enchanter, go on.

[wythersake]

Your prior use of magebane,

[ presumably past-tense. she's offered to vanish vomit ]

Did you find it to interfere with the function of anything else than your magic? The anchor, physical side effects, etcetera?

[aberratic]

It was vile, but no worse than that.

[ a considering beat, weighing what to reveal and with what words. ]

Its efficacy waned the longer it was used. Higher doses, more often, were needed to achieve a fully dampening effect. Whether that is a personal quirk or indicative of something else, I couldn't say.

[wythersake]

Mn, afraid I couldn't either. Hard to guess the concentration.

[ he wasn't the one measuring it. but: ]

I'm certain you've had word of the Venatori anchors.

[aberratic]

I observed some close a rift in the north with Madame de Cedoux, yes.

[wythersake]

We need assume they will, in time, manifest similar abilities to those among our own. Shields, projectiles, perhaps more. It would do for us to have a means of non-lethal containment. I am exploring our options. And as we don't know whether they're native —

[aberratic]

Please state your intention plain, I have a powerful headache.

[wythersake]

I'll note that in the side effects.

[ dry. ]

We need know whether magebane works to stunt an anchor, and I hope to avoid poisoning volunteers, or inadvertantly doing them a worse ill. Hence: Your health.

[aberratic]

I had no occasion to attempt to use my anchor while taking magebane, and have noticed no negative effects since stopping.

[ a loooong pause. a deep sigh. ]

I'm willing to take it again to see how it affects the anchor, should I find myself in front of a rift.

[wythersake]

Can you defend yourself without magic? They'll be upset with me if I feed the Quartermaster to a demon, it's dreadfully hard to find new ones.

[ quartermasters. the demons are fucking everywhere ]

[aberratic]

I did assume I wouldn't be sent to one alone.

[ isn't this what we have the stabby ones for? ]

[wythersake]

Very well. We've enough spare armor that we might swaddle you in some insurance.

[aberratic]

[ You are deeply unpleasant,

is what she would say if she were not herself. ]

I'll assume you'll let me know if you ever plan to hold me to the offer. Is there anything else, Enchanter? The headache makes speaking at length a hardship.

[wythersake]

There's elfroot in the Infirmary. Third drawer in the tall cabinet, chew it or steep in tea.

[ the crystals don't click when they shut off. but like, spiritually. ]
