1 Magefire 16 Tuesday
I chat with Benisk - Friend with Rumors

• Gaolib the gnome, has focus medication (I get some)

We go talk to Stracus Osmir

• We show him spells and he's impressed with us.
• The groundkeepers might know where my weed went
• He can get us library access if Respect can get us Thesis papers

We go to Respect's office

• We ask him for the paperwork
• He's surprised we have such high magery and doesn't get how we got that
• We ask him how to get more, he seems to imply there's ways of doing it carefully.
• We ask if there's a link between soul brands and possession, he doesn't really answer
• "Does the phrase Black Room mean anything to you"
  • Experimental chambers where nations were studying time magic
• He gives us a long string of numbers and letters and tells us to memorize it. If we give it to him he'll know we came from him.
• People used to call him and his people "preppers" as a slur

Solstice Fireleaf - Jordan's boyfriend's name is Sam

We get some hot water at the kitchen to make the coffee

We go to the library

• reminders of the library outline
  • floor 2 apprentice section, magery zero, gimmicks and stuff
  • main floor normal section with non magic stuff
  • below ground Wizards only section, enchanted doors with keylocks
    • Advanced spells, magery 1-2
  • 2 floors below ground Restricted section with dangerous spells and forbidden lore. fancy door
    • same level as the heating and boiler section
• I try to find memorization scrolls, they're in the wizards only section
  • memorize only works for a day
  • advanced memorize is indefinite
  • I can't afford the scrolls so I just memorize the string the normal way

I join the church to learn smite for my lich killing build

• I spend 10 days there, the rest of the party studies other stuff
• I get a crutch

We head out to silver lake's cottage

• asks what we know about "The branded one"
  • Episode 24 said there can only be one
• she thinks the great beings must be involved in the loop
  • apparently an ascendant was able to get this power (thousands of years ago)
• She learned that the first ascendant was Panor, the ascendant of shields?
  • He was rumored to be an emperor in the past before the raven empire (this history is lost)
  • One scholar in azena is researching the markavian empire which is related
  • Perhaps this person was branded somehow?
  • That amount of power must be related to some far plane. She really thinks it's one of the great beings
• Says not to trust High Wizard Respect Salris because he has connections with prince Dresdar
• We can structure an unstructured spell by using processes at the wizards tower
• I help her make a potion to transfer my soul brand to someone else
  • I can drink it, then share my soul brand with someone, but it will meld my personalities with them.
  • "Soul Smear" potion
