I do miss a good vinyl. I do have to wonder if the books you have in the Free Cities are the same as Solvunn's. Wouldn't be far out if they restricted us to specific ones in each faction. I've dealt with that before. Truthfully, I've been wanting to get my hands on more.
{ the idle conversation helps, enough that the prick of the needle isn't felt at all and it's over before he knows it. he does watch the magic nadine uses with a curious gaze, feeling the thrum of it at the edge of his mind through his instinct. for a man that walks through solvunn, a magical commune, he hasn't entertained it much. }
By the way, where did you learn your magic? I've been considering the sort I'm willing to use. Healing aspects intrigue me. It's in my blood to self-heal, but I have thought about it, if that could be of use for diseases magic can't touch, for example. Unless magic truly cures all?

I think there's plenty of crossover with fiction books. History and stuff...probably a lot more kingdom-specific.
[It's all going well. Good. Just like a normal blood draw. Nadine's relieved that it's simple and quick.]
And I learned the spells I know in Thorne, when I lived there. My healing magic...that's not stuff I learned, that's just stuff that I can do. I can diagnose problems and 'see' someone's system with a touch, I can draw toxins and venom out of someone else, things like that. But....

Magic does not cure all, and healing properties in your blood would likely fall under alchemy and herbalism. 'Herbalism' covers a lot more than just herbs. I use all kinds of things in potion and elixir making. Including biological components.
