It seems we're in for snow again. Please let me know if any structure you are using for a residence starts leaking, or if it is overly cold. I would be happy to try and help make things more comfortable.

More than that, though, the snow seems to be building up. And there doesn't seem to be any shovels to work with. I'm going to try and keep what paths I can clear with some fire spells, but I can't keep the whole of Temba clear. Anyone have opinions on what paths should be kept clear?

You have fire spells?

[This is interesting for him to hear that people here have such a thing.]

[plate_builder]

Fire, lightning, and ice at the moment.

Forgive me, I fear we have not been introduced. My name is Reeve Tuesti. I'm the local architect.

[unswervingcompanion]

I am familiar with those spells.

[But then he realizes they haven't been introduced.]

It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Hendrik of Heliodor.

[Clumsy as ever, just as Don Rodrigo would term him.]

[plate_builder]

Heliodor? Pronounced like the gemstone?

Magic is common in your world?

[unswervingcompanion]

Yes that is correct.

Yes, it is common. We have those that can work fearsome magic and there is also healing magic.

[plate_builder]

Ah, you must have good magical training in your world. Or artifacts.

[unswervingcompanion]

Is that how it works in your world?

[plate_builder]

In most cases, yes.

[unswervingcompanion]

And how does one train with magic in your world?

[plate_builder]

Use of magic to practice spell casting. Nothing more.

[unswervingcompanion]

Is it magic that only certain skilled people can wield?

[plate_builder]

No, not at all. Anyone can be trained to work with materia.

[unswervingcompanion]

And this materia is the key to magic in your world?

[plate_builder]

Yes, to most forms of it.

[unswervingcompanion]

So anyone with this materia can cast spells. That would be much easier.

[plate_builder]

I could teach you if you wish.

[unswervingcompanion]

You would do such a thing for a stranger?

[plate_builder]

Why would I not? Magic is a thing for all in my world.

[unswervingcompanion]

Forgive my surprise it is simply unexpected.

[plate_builder]

Do you wish to have lessons in it?

[unswervingcompanion]

If it would not be taxing on you, then I accept.

[plate_builder]

It would not be taxing, and more magic is not a bad thing to have available to us all.

[unswervingcompanion]

Thank you. When would be a good time to start this training?

[plate_builder]

Whenever you are free. The winter is good for this work, and beyond my planning for repairs at the Towers and checking on wood curing, I'm rather free.

We can start with fire magic, it's often the easiest to learn, and we can clear paths as practice and training.
