[TEXT] UN: Abhorsen

[bindsthedead]

How many people here are familiar with magic? And has anyone found a way to make it stop breaking technology? [There seem to be some, but it's probably best to ask, rather than encounter them at random. And perhaps one of them has worked out a way to deal

And there's another thing she wants to ask.]

Has anyone here encountered Dead creatures or necromancers, either in this place, or wherever you come from? Are any of you familiar with the Charter, or the Old Kingdom?

I am familiar with both magic, the undead, and necromancers, though I am uncertain what precisely you mean by the Charter. Is it a diplomatic document of some sort?

[ Now this is speaking his language. ]

I've found having a light touch aids in not completely breaking the assortment of items in this place.

[bindsthedead]

It is the source of Charter magic. It contains and describes all things in the world, and the bonds that connect them.

[bindsthedead]

So tread lightly, if possible? I'll keep that in mind.

I'm kinda new to the whole "magic" thing. We have it in my world, but I'm not a warlock or anything so I don't know a whole lot about it. And I'm not sure my runes really count as magic in that sense, either.

I'd like to say I'm familiar with magic, since I have a close friend who is constantly performing it, but it's the type of magic that can make flowers and doves appear from nowhere and fill the room. It's not the type you mean, is it? Fufu, though I did watch him hypnotize someone once.

There was also a strange student who liked to sleep in coffins and pretend things that I know, but he's nowhere here to be found.

I have magic back on my world! But only those with elvish blood can use it.

Mmm and would skeletons count?

Unfortunately, I'm not. I think it might be...a myth to a lot of people.

[Still, the concept of it existing is interesting to him, it's why he bothered to reply at all]

Someone here might be able to help with the technology end.

Is the Old Kingdom...your home?

[bindsthedead]

What are runes? I've never heard of them.

[bindsthedead]

I don't mean sleight of hand illusions and parlor tricks, I mean real magic, true power.

[bindsthedead]

What's elvish?

Did the skeletons move around?

[stop_apologizing]

Oh you don't have elves on your world? They're very good at magic. Humans can't really use it where I'm from.

Yes! I'm not sure how though.

[bindsthedead]

I understamd that. Although for some of us, its always been real.

It is. It's also where my responsibility lies.

[finethanks]

Oh no, I have no knowledge of anything like that.

Though I did meet someone who called himself Death here. After dancing with death so many times myself, it was such an exciting experience that my heart almost ruptured. You might want to speak to him, seeing as he's dead himself.

[canadese]

magic is a fictional concept created to explain natural concepts in primitive societies that have not made the requisite advancements in science

[Yeah. Yeah. What now.]

[bindsthedead]

Thank you for this information. I'll make sure to deal with it.

[stubble]

I am unfamiliar with that type of magic. Though admittedly I am not a mage. Perhaps those of my world see what they practice similarly.

[bindsthedead]

I've found humans are quite good at magic if they're baptized and properly trained.

Someone probably put the spirit of someone who died inside them. That's how it works where I come from.

[bindsthedead]

That's just superstition. I'm talking about real magic.

[bindsthedead]

Are there any here I could speak with.

[stubble]

Mages from my world? Yes. To my knowledge there is only one. His name is Dorian. He also happens to be the necromancer I know.

[bindsthedead]

[Sabriel feels something cold creep up her spine.]And he hasn't harmed anyone here?

[stubble]

Dorian? Maker, no. He is an accomplished warrior and powerful mage, but I cannot imagine him ever harming an innocent person.

[bindsthedead]

That may be, but in my experience, most forms of necromancy are inherently corrupting.

[stubble]

In what manner are they corrupting?
