How to untether magic! It is not even new theory, but I know my own work when I see it!

[inklongdry]

"Untether"... this is what you meant when I brought up pushing boundaries before, isn't it?

[velluminous]

Yes! These rules--cheap, limiting. Constantly changing regardless of what we say!

[inklongdry]

And you sought to discover if these rules were ironclad, or even necessary at all.

[ He breathes out a small, privately amused little sound. ]

Oh, you would have fit right into Sharlayan.

[velluminous]

They aren't, Arthur. They aren't. [ breathless with the need for him to understand ] I can--warp any spell to exert power of another type, so long as I have spell of that type in my book to reference. No one else can do this. Only us Scribes. Before us, very few at all. It is not immutable, and we are hamstringing ourselves to think some rules are ironclad and others can bend.

[inklongdry]

I understand, Sprezzatura. I do. 'Tis a prison of your own making and you seek to find the key.

How close were you?

[velluminous]

It was all theory, Arthur.

[inklongdry]

A theory that someone clearly thought worth stealing.
