-Well, at least you got an improvement. And looking like a princess has some advantages. Anyway, I was looking for you because I have a gift for you. I found it on Mark.

Produce the bindings book that I definitely kept in my person because going to grab it would have been a way to waste time.

He takes the book and leafs through it, then shakes his head and hands it back.

-Really? What do you use as a focus? Because I made one recently and managed to do some magic.

"A spellbook. It's kind of like the one you've got there, but with more emphasis on soul mechanics rather than bindings."

-Ahh. I see. I wanted to find a different kind of focus, a non-written one, so that I could see how to make one of them on my own. But if I remember well, Bernie had some interesting objects with him, maybe I should see if one of them is a focus. I guess that you have already encountered Justine, right?

((Notes on foci: non-written foci have proven to be very specific in the past (e.g. cane magic, chair magic, the fire focus Mike picked up). Altough they are probably more powerful to compensate for their non-versatility.))

Huh. I doubt I'll ever figure this out. I might as well accompany you then, treeman.

So where are you heading off to?

[I suggest Morton's lighter, if you want to go with fire magic. Has a mild magic in it already, removing the (most likely present to prevent horrific accidents) limitations on it and making it your foci would probably be easier than making one from scratch.

Granted, I can't recall if we ever got that back from the guard... I don't think we did, did we? Morton's inventory states he still has it, but I think the last time that was updated was when he snagged the branch.]

"Good mage Erin, let us move on and deal with chef Niklas please," the desk said in a kind tone, trying to convey that now isn't the best of times to let Justine get to her.

Morton moved over to an open free spot on the deck and carefully lowered the pot, then tried to remove the molten slag from it gently, or if failing that by trying to dump it out of the pot. If failing that, the desk will merely sigh and leave the pot be on the deck, taking a few steps back.

"What should we make chef Niklas into? A chair might be an option as before, it seems he grew rather used to it. Along with some other interesting measures, for sure."

((The guards have it, so no. Anyway, fire magic is too dangerous. Better to stick to a kind of magic than can't maim you instantly.))

((Chair Niklas FTW! He already has chair magic, so why not?))

((No more chair = no more chair magic, iirc. That's just how foci work and I'm fairly certain Niklas's central chair would've acted as a focus of sorts.))
((Also, the lighter is rather valuable.))

((He made his own body into a focus, so there is no way in which making him into a chair wouldn't allow him to control chairs again.))

[Yeah, the lighter was nice. I'll miss that lighter... Ah well.

I do wonder if Niklas could still control chairs after this though. His body is wrecked, he's not a chair anymore. Turning him back will hopefully give him his chair magic back.]

-So, she got like that after she died? Well, I guess death is pretty boring, then. Well, I think that I should go and ask the Artiste about those things.

Go and look for the Artiste.
