"Do you know how staves and tomes are actually made?"

[Xanmyral]

[After the purchase scene]

Salvatore walked out of the store one spear and fifty coins less, and one javelin richer. A good bargain if he should say so!

"Hm... Been ah whoile since Oi messed 'round wit' one o' 'ese. Should probably practice ah bit 'fore we go." The rider commented to himself as he pat Ormm on the neck and walked past the wyvern, heading back towards Anja's wagon.

"Well, Oi got all--Ah, sorry." He fell silent seeing as he was interrupting a conversation.

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Uh... No. But I would assume at this point that a process similar to the magic calling thing you just told us about is employed. Probably at a slower pace though, I'd guess."

[Powder Miner]

:"Salvatore! Can I borrow 35 gold pieces?"

[freeformschooler]

@Edwin

: "Ooh! Let me guess. Spellpower (and thus life force) from a mage is stored directly within a staff or maybe some kind of object in the staff. When the spellpower runs out, the staff is 'used up?' At least, that's the way I would do it if I knew how magic works."

[Xanmyral]

@Alexander

"Hmm? Oh, ya sure. 'Ere yah go." The wyvern rider forked over thirty five gold pieces.

"Don' spend it all in one sittin', an' try not ta destroy the pub this toime, yah? Oi'm still surprised yah still had all tha' foight in yah after the brawl." Sal joked with Alex.

[Powder Miner]

Alexander grins at Salvatore at that, and then rushes off to go buy the warhammer!

[Zako]

Edwin nodded as he looked back down at his tome.

"You're pretty close to it actually. They are typically made using groups of people that literally shunt the magic energy from themselves into a medium for storage that has a special release mechanism built into it, the writing for the tomes and runes for the staves. Then they tweak the release mechanism into certain shapes and designs so that it casts a spell for every release. They also leave warnings and spell designs that you can read, so others can recreate them easier without having to work from memory.

All that energy has to come from somewhere after all..."

[Culise]

A blur flew into the wagon, blowing the doors open. Derick stopped for his breath by Raquel, cradling the Mage Masher close to his chest

"Help me hide!"

Raquel leapt up in surprise as Derick plowed in, almost dropping her book.  Holding on to it, she looked at Derick, then at the largest boxes which, between them, seemed to conceal a corner, especially with the tarp that normally kept them securely fastened while moving.  She pointed.

"Behind there."

As Derick went into hiding, she grabbed the Killer Thunder tome, setting the book down gently beside it, then stuck her head out the wagon, trying to figure out what was happening outside. 

[Furtuka]

Derick dove behind the crates, and popped his head out from the side so he could see the entrance


If Charlotte or Alex come by, tell them I'm not here!"

[Haspen]

@Alexander:

Minute later Alexander came out the smithy with spiky black hammer. Of war.

[Powder Miner]

Alexander walked back to the group, all smiles.
:"Got my hammer."

[Xanmyral]

"Looks loike ah roight fearsome piece 'ere, expectin' ta crack some armor wit' it?"

[Powder Miner]

:"Possibly."

[Culise]

Seeing no one, Raquel pulled her head back into the wagon and closed the door, sitting back down beside her book.  Picking it up, she nonetheless didn't open it. 

"Of course, but whyever are you hiding from them?"
