(nods) Yeah, I do. Even with the few magecraft spells I know, I have trouble keeping them active.

...Why keep yours on for so long, though?

Preparation in case I was ambushed. Plus- I can keep them on pretty long, anyway.

Its' practice. Like hardening the skin, only with your mind.

Just tell me when you want me to visit her, and I will.

Won't that just be a waste of magical energy, though? By the time the actual fight happens, you'll have run out.

Y-yeah! They're probably worried about you as well!

Don't you wanna go home to them? What if they need your help?

That's where our systems of magic differ.

Barring these servants, I'd guess- my worlds' magic has no such thing as magical energy.

It's purely an extension of the minds' capabilities.

A very- very- very difficult thing to muster, but it has no real way of running out of energy.

...Right.

I guess that's why magic detection isn't as valuable?

-nods- Not so much... not valuable.

More- hard to do.

Its' knowing that someone has tampered- to manipulate qualities, or manipulate laws.

Like- I'd guess for us its' knowing a painting is tilted, for you- magic detection is more seeing that there's a painting there.

Because technically speaking- all things are made of magic where I'm from, because Magic is tied intrinsically to reality. It is the manipulation of what ties the world together and makes it up.

(@Fennik) Well, t-they can handle themselves j-just fine... However, I h-haven't seen them in a w-while. I g-guess they must, um, be worried about me.

Haaaa... I can't stop thinking about them...

It's sort of like how it is with us, then, where the atmosphere has natural magical energy and souls are also made of the same energy.

Except, well... without the energy.

-nods- Mm. Its' purely- mental effort.

For us, anyway.

Which is why- servants are something that I'd consider impossible. And why I was sat mortified- and honestly afraid- for several days when I realized that Castor had managed to comprehend death itself.

Because he had access to a foreign magical system? Our magical system?

What are humans like, actually? The ones here are all so... so different from eachother.

He probably has access to that too.

But no- he definitely abused his position as a Servant. I can see how the logic would follow for a savant.

Servants would've experienced death once before. He simply used that information- as a Servant still linked to my world- to formulate a hex using that experience to analyze.

Though he was likely killing as well- to be an outside observer. Eyes are windows to the soul, I have no doubts that a lot of the dead would've had his eyes looking into theirs when he was researching it.

...Well, we h-have many jobs and professions. These, um, jobs are done to provide a n-needed service to a community. I'm an a-alchemist, and alchemists make and s-sell potions.

Oh, yeah, there must be tons of different jobs for uh, humans.
