A book. DO you think the mages keep the Summoning ritual written down somewhere?
[ That's certainly a thought, that maybe there's a record existing of the process they might someday get to look at for themselves. Even if it's likely kept in pieces rather than a complete one since that'd be too much to risk; maybe that'd explain why the High Mage needed to concentrate. But Claude dismisses that thought almost the same instant it crosses his mind and laves his mouth since the reality is that whatever it is - even if the Free Cities and Solvunn now have it, as demonstrated - it'll be under guard where they can't hope to gain access. Not without investing a very, very large amount of time and duplicity into it.
Instead, his gaze drops briefly to Kyle's own symbol in concentration. ]
I don't know about you, but I didn't ask for this one to start showing up on my clothing while I'm here. No matter what I opt to wear instead, it finds its way right back.
[ The arcana, their meanings, the symbols themselves: they aren't something Claude's looked into much beyond some very cursory research after noticing his own in the Horizon and then other ones scattered about Cadens on various things. Perhaps there's more to them he should be considering rather than assuming they were, in some ways, like Crests back home and not bothering to investigate them. ]
I've heard they have some relation to the magics that are common here. I'd imagine that means they also have to be tied into the process of summoning us somehow even if I haven't the slightest idea of how beyond that. Shame we couldn't have overheard that while we were out and about on that trip.
