[evocation]

what an asshole
was he nuts or something?

[warfares]

It's certainly possible.

[evocation]

that's fucking awful
i'm sorry

[warfares]

He's gone now.

( killing him hadn't brought the peace he'd hoped it would, but he was gone and that was something. )

[evocation]

good
shitty teachers are probably worse than no one at all, right?

[warfares]

As you say.

( it's more complicated than that, still ㅡ )

How did you teach yourself?

[evocation]

my dad taught me a lot of the building blocks, i guess
after that it was like
trial and error and copying other people
and research
what about you?

[warfares]

I've a talent for digging up forbidden knowledge.

[evocation]

ooh
forbidden how?

[warfares]

How would you define it?

[evocation]

idk
there's "stupid and dangerous" forbidden
or "we're hiding this knowledge to control people" forbidden
or "misunderstood because people are superstitious assholes" forbidden
you have to narrow it down

[warfares]

The three aren't always mutually exclusive.
Though in this case, it would be more the latter than the former.

[evocation]

what was the knowledge exactly?

[warfares]

Nothing that would be useful, here.

[evocation]

yeah, but i'm curious
and nosy

[warfares]

Physical augmentation.
Improve my strength, speed, endurance. That sort of thing.

[evocation]

oh, cool
what's your power here anyway?

[warfares]

Fire.

[evocation]

better than mine
i'm kind of jealous

[warfares]

I wouldn't be.
The amount of things I've had to replace since it manifested would astound.

[evocation]

it's okay
you have no idea how many phones i fried as a kid

[warfares]

Your power?

[evocation]

yeah
i could control electricity
plus some other stuff
so when i was younger i wrecked a lot of shit messing around

[warfares]

What other things?

[evocation]

magic where i'm from is everywhere
to use it you have to tap into it
so i could sense the flow of it, i guess
and i could usually sense other things that have close ties to it
spirits or monsters or whatever
