All right, I cave.

Help wanted for someone who can engineer a way to keep someone from sinking the second they set foot in a body of water.




And please don't say "swimming lessons" - that's not physically possible without a lot of flotation assistance.

Well, hell, when you put it like that.

Doesn't sound so mysterious anymore.

There is a field of study where I come from dedicated to understanding the energies of our star that we utilize in order to use magicks. I am a historian by trade, but even I dabble in aetherology out of... Well I suppose you could say out of necessity. Yet many make it their life's work.

Most things sound mysterious until they are dissected and explained, yes? It just takes time.

[thearchangel]

You mean like - a form of cosmology? Or radiation studies? Your magic is fueled by star radiation?

[Sorry bud, that's the kind of energy stars put out where he's from. Unless it's solar power or something.]

Frankly, no one did until just now. Doubt it's their fault though, most people seem like they come from a magic-heavy universe.

[afflatusexarch]

No, no. Nothing like that. I suppose you might call it life energy. The force that keeps all things living.

[thearchangel]

Life energy.

Life force? That sound more like it?

[afflatusexarch]

In a sense, yes. Though it doesn't always require burning away at one's life, so to speak.

[thearchangel]

I would hope not. Radiation is pretty drastic, horrifying stuff, in high doses.

[afflatusexarch]

Radi - what now?
