It has been brought to my attention that I failed to introduce myself properly to the network. This is what happens when your sole contact in town was raised by wolves.

Good morning. I'm Daniel Arlington, usually called Darlington to differentiate me from the four previous Daniel Arlingtons. I am recently assigned to the Special Collections department at the Great Library, which I've learned still includes making people wear gloves before handling fragile texts, but also includes preventing them from being bitten by particularly aggressive literature. Pleased to meet you all.

A question, while I'm here: do those of you who used magic in your worlds of origin find that your magic has altered at all since coming here?

[Filtered to Stern]
There is little more humbling than attempting to look up local history, finding yourself bereft of any context, and discovering that you need to start in the middle grades section of the library. I was able to move through it quickly, but my ego may never recover from the initial shot.

My Magic's changed in some ways, but I think not much different than the ways if might have progressed had I remained in my own world; I'd recently discovered a trove of fascinating independent research that I've been putting into practice.

Magic here is considerably less messy than what I'm accustomed to, and demands less in the way of sacrifice. I attempted a location-warding spell this morning, and it came through at a strength that I would ordinarily expect to require extensive physical components to build.

I've found that sometimes Vallo lets me do things and sometimes it's like 'nah, let's reel that back in'. I've enjoyed getting to know how a lot of the local covens and independent witches manage their magic here and what all they need in order to be successful with it.

I've begun reading about the covens, and I suspect I could spend the rest of my life reading and still not understand the depth and breadth of their traditions and powers. They're all fascinating, and still more fascinating to me is how open they are about what they can do.

Time travel isn't even on the list of possibilities where I came from, as far as I'm aware. If it were, someone at Yale would certainly be attempting to abuse it.

Nice to meet another number here. We may now take this moment to be grateful that we aren't among the ones nicknamed Trey and Quentin.

From where do you come to Vallo?

Depends on how altered you're asking about. Are previous uses unavailable while being here? Are new expansions and growth easier? Is a person able to do magic that has nothing to do with what they were used to?

And I suppose I should ask, why the interest?

Altered, no. More annoying, yes.

While you're in special collections, would you let me know if you ever come across anything called the Golden Sutras? I lost my copy on the way in here, not that it'd be much use, but it'd be nice to see it again if it deigned to show up.

I'm El by the way.

Certain bits and pieces of my magic, yes. I am unable to travel or communicate between planes, but I am still able to teleport within this one. Time manipulation has also been mentioned; it was a specialty of mine back home, but there are limitations to it here. It is intriguing and something I have pondered greatly in my time here.

My abilities have been significantly diminished from what I was capable of at home, but for the most part, the change has been a relief.

Welcome Darlington, I'm Remus and to answer your question. I haven't noticed anything really that different about my magic but I haven't been here for long.
