Attempt to leave using one of the two paths. Walk slowly, being wary of pain/sensation from the mark. If I can actually leave the canyon, examine the surroundings of this canyon--are we in the middle of a desert? Is there forest neaby? A city?
You are watched, first by one bird, then by several. they do not presently interfere in your exploration. You climb to the surface and look out through slitted eyes at a harsh, featureless desert, extending as far as you can see. looks just like the day you arrived oh so many ... four? Four days ago.
What's this minor enchantment on the wizard hat, then? Cosmetic or actually a thing that does something?
Oh, and how much is a solid set of brass knuckles?
It is enchanted to keep it on your head and to deflect cantrips from silly magical students just learning how to troll with the aether. it also provides study music for those all nighters before a big exam on fungal aspirations and radiant immersion tactics in thaumaturgy. whatever that means. "I'll give ya a set o' brass knuckles for two silver."
((You're maintaining the sheets, right?))
Yes, I have a spreadsheet n my computer that I am maintaining with all the relevant info on your characters.
what stats affect sorcery and innate magic?

thats about all I remember you saying on the matter.
yes, essentially, if you are trying to directly cast magical energy to harm another, your constitution will affect the outcome. You've been making pretty good use of inate magic to get around this by using venom, which is typical of insects and others. but if you were all "Septum Sepmra!", you could get some backslashes going on, and end up in sore need of some bandages., for example.
