Wait, you walk? [By the archmages...] Wow, how long does it usually take you to get from one place to another?

I don't always walk now! I got a bike a month before I came here! But I've been travelling for about... five months, I think? Maybe it was that?

A bike? [If the video was on, you'd be getting a blank stare Red...] What's that? [First time she's ever heard of one...]

A bike? Like... a bicycle. You know?

[ ... ]

You do know what a bicycle is, don't you?

Nooooo? I've never heard of either before...

Whaaa? You have spaceships but you don't have bicycles? Bikes have two wheels and pedals that you push and you go fast on.

Well I can see why I haven't heard of them! Wheels aren't much of a thing where I'm from, they're outdated. Our more local forms of transportation hover, excluding your own two legs of course.

Hover? How does that work?

[ Wait. ] Do I want to know?

[If he doesn't, she's going to tell him anyway.] It works by a combination of magic and technology. Arcane runes are inscribed into the vehicles and scooters that allow it to levitate off the ground. Then everything else is just tech that allows them to move in every other direction.

Sooo... what if... your arcane runes broke down, and your car broke down, and you couldn't make it levitate? Wouldn't it be hard to move without wheels?

[She actually didn't think about this...] I guess so! Though the engineers that designed them might have a way around this? I'm actually not sure how they would do it though. Since it's not really a problem I've ever encountered, or really thought about.

[ He's happy enough that she doesn't know what one would do in that situation, so no need to question that further! ]

You should have a go on a bike if you ever see one here. They're fun. You pedal away and it's great everything looks around you.

Plus it's faster than walking.

Maybe if one of the shops gets any, I may just have to nab one then! [Though she can't help but enjoy walking sometimes.] It would be funny if I could apply a haste spell to one too, or myself, and possibly go even faster.

Don't you need to use your [ uhhh ] gum for that? Gum? Gun?

Gun, and no, not with everything. I'm still fully capable of casting spells without using anything, they just won't be as powerful, or last as long.

Oh... what kind of spells can you do? I remember you use a gun, but - is that all you use to make magic?

Mainly elemental spells, like fire, ice, lightning, and shadow, there's more, but I haven't learned how to use them, yet. [One day she will though.] Oh, and I can also turn myself invisible, track specific people or a general group of them, make anyone run double the speed they could before, and make slow down your descent when falling! [Simple stuff, really.]

One's mind is good enough to use magic, well, one's mind and hands. I also can use every day objects to channel my spells through, but I can only use them once! They crumble to pieces right when the energy passes through them, unless they're specifically made to have arcane energy go through them.

So, for you... if you channel magic through something, that makes it more focused, and that's what makes it more powerful than just doing the spell? [ Has he got this slinging thing right? ]

That's exactly how it works for me! [It's not slinging, but at least he's getting channel casting down.] Though channeling doesn't automatically mean that the spell is more focused for other mages, many can be at their best level without the channel, but this all depends on the person.

What about you? Can you do magic without using an object to do it with? Even if it doesn't work as good.

I can, but when I do, my spells are only at half the power unfortunately.

That sounds like a pain... but you have your gun with you, right?

I do! And a rather large stash of marbles as well to be used as a substitute, as well as to cast some spells that I normally can't channel through my gun.

[ Hey did you spot any mega evolution stones in those by any chance. ]

Mm... I've got a question though. How do you know if one's, uhm, mind is good enough? To use magic I mean... Do you think there's a way to find out?

[Thankfully, no.]

At first, it's really hard to tell, but, uh, at the same time, it really depends on what kind of magic you're dealing with. [Since Luceti magic is different from what she knows...]
