<Snipped quote by Source>

My plan usually is to overwhelm mages. Information and magic overload is a surprisingly powerful tool.

@Path

*Cuts my eyes to the side*
That's just a fancy way to say brute force.

Brute force is wild, overwhelming force is not.

@Path

*Crosses my arms, unamused*
Precise brute force, then.

Tact, Gio. Tact. That is the difference…
*looks at the armor and opens a rift that absorbs it*
But I do enjoy wild spellcasting.

Then we'll use your not-brute force whenever he happens to show up. How much deeper does the dungeon go?

@Source

Much much deeper it seems. We’ve haven’t gotten too far away from the entrance.

Are you taking the cursed items with you? If not, let's head to the next chamber.

I already put it in my bag!

*Follows next to you, and a translucent map of the current floor pops up in the corner of our vision*
I guess that's what Lily's been doing.

I wonder if she has had a run in with our stranger.

@Path

It's possible. If she has and didn't alert me, she's dead meat.

@Source

But she is a spirit… do spirits have meat?

@Path

It's a turn of phrase. But to answer your question, no.

I wonder what spirits taste like.

@Path

*Cuts a judgmental glance*
I don't think they have a flavor.

You'll be in this pain for a long, long time. You must obligate yourself to your chosen window into the nature of time. Everything must revolve around the element you choose. Some choose even more complex representations, although those tend to get out of hand. Perhaps you will drift toward your own signature discipline, as my student has.

@Artifact

... the weave, it is.

*Laughs as my voice fades to emptiness*
Not everything is as it seem—
*They strike me, finding an empty, dead magician's suit*

@Dynamics

Kirina: Good riddance... not very fond of magicians anyway.

@souleaterfan320

So be it. Now you must attune yourself to the weave. That will not be a short-lived, nor painless process.

@Artifact

How should I... go about that? What means of connection am I to use..?

@souleaterfan320

Time is unknowable.
*Sands spiral out of my palm, branching on top of itself before it drops to the ground in a clench of my fist*
Much like a fractal extending infinitely in every direction, we can merely catch a glimpse. You must gaze upon the unknowable form of time and learn its attributes in the framing of your chosen discipline.
