Well, that was the second worst ten-day span of my life, thank you very much. The cats were certainly happy to see me again, so at least there's that (my thanks to to those who were able to care for them in my absence).

This whole experience has done nothing do much as make me even more curious of the magic in this place. I'd like to conduct interviews with anyone willing to discuss their magic with me; I've the most interest in magic regarding leylines or foresight, though I'm happy enough to talk any other sorts as well.

We do not. Generally magic only works within close proximity. It tends to get weaker the further away from its source. It's been a common source of complaint for British magic, and makes things very inconvenient sometimes. This is true too of the aforementioned magic as well; if a magician is not on his property when someone dies on it, he'll not know.

Though we do have the Lockroom, where any British magician can be located by a strand of their hair which is taken once their magic manifests, and distance is not a problem in that case. Perhaps the inherit power in one's blood can overcome the inherit restrictions of distance. It could be the same principle that makes the blood-pledges so effective -- those will hold indefinitely even when the magicians who have made the pledge are far apart from one another.

[Insert another like, three paragraphs here about magic and the potential inherent qualities of blood in increasingly technical language here.]

Hm. Okay. I figured I’d ask. But I’ll see if Asetenarra or James have anything like that. I’ve used blood magic with my own blood for a protection amulet of sorts. It doesn’t work on everything, however. There were creatures prior that didn’t seem stopped by magical barriers. We have tattoos triggered by blood if we’re in danger - the coven - but I think something with less bloodletting and maybe simpler would work better.

Oh, sorry, I don't mean to say that it can't be done. In fact, I think I'd rather like the opportunity to give it a shot, if you'd allow me to.

I’m happy to try anyway. We can talk through it together. So she feels included.

Your friend, you mean? Yes, I'd be happy to talk it over with the both of you.

My girlfriend, yes. Eleanor. She doesn’t have magic, but if I need James’s help, I will ask him.

I would be happy to work with him as well; it might be better to have two eyes on this anyway, especially as he magic here is so different. Does he create many spells himself?

We all created something for our initiations. My sigil is to boost magic collaboratively because collaborative magic is necessary to keep us from turning into niffins. Basically burning up from the inside out and becoming a creature of pure energy and no morals.

I appreciate the rec, Marina. Happy to help with whatever you both need though.

I won't make a big deal out of it, I promise.

You shouldn’t. We’re in the same coven. It’s basically like choosing the easiest person to find.

I am, yes. Nice to meet you. I'm sure something can be worked out with less bloodletting and it'll be a fun experience for all of us.

I certainly hope so. Do you do this sort of magic often? Blood-pledges where I'm from are completed by a cuts on the hands, and a couple of drops of blood into a candle flame; I was thinking that perhaps we might be achieve the results Miss Andrieski is looking for with the same method, perhaps by [longwinded explanation here].

Is that... a danger here?

For me and the other Magicians from my world, yes.

So it's not a danger inherit in this world. That is a relief, though I suppose it's less so for you.

No. Eh. I know who to go to if I need big magic.
