i don't deal much in corpses
not that i won't if there's a big enough fight
i just intend to raise some spirits
i find they're more reliable than living people
when i want questions answered.

[spellslots]

I mean, you're not wrong.

Had a chat with a witch's spirit not too long ago, she was pretty cool.
She told me the people here aren't like assholes or anything, if that's what you were planning to ask your spirits.

[deathkid]

that was one of my questions
but i have a lot more.
i take it you have some power over ghosts, then?

[spellslots]

I got a little necromancy in my spellbook, but technically that one counted as divination if we're getting into specifics.

I'm a wizard, hence the magic.

[deathkid]

my powers are more necromancy related
though i have a few others besides that

[ he's not going to share them all, of course. guy has to keep some secrets. ]

[spellslots]

This place has got a thing for necromancers, huh?

[deathkid]

you're implying there's more than one.

[spellslots]

Don't get much past you, do we?

There's Letha, she does the necromancy thing, and I mean, I do little. Not that I'm super into raising the dead, but there's other uses for it.

[Two and a half isn't really a whole lot, but considering it's a somewhat unusual power set, Taako thinks it's notable.]

[deathkid]

letha.
is she a mortal?

and yes, there are definitely a variety of uses.

[ of which he knows nearly all. and his powers grow stronger every day. ]

[spellslots]

That's the sort of shit she should answer herself, I'm sure she'll show up here soon.

[As far as Taako knows the answer is yes, but he's not a snitch.]

Is demigod magic like normal magic or is it all divine shit?

["Normal magic" is meaningless in the multiverse, but really he's just curious if this is the sort of stuff he could incorporate into his own magic.]

[deathkid]

fair enough.

um, i guess it's all divine?
we don't really have like
"non-divine" magic, i guess
unless you're referring to manipulating the mist
like children of Hecate can do

she's the goddess of magic.

[spellslots]

Alright well we've got like clerics and paladins, who channel divine power from their gods and shit, but wizards, that's me, don't need any outside help for our magic. There's shit we can't do cause of that, and if your necromancy is a demigod thing, it's probably gonna fall in that category.

[deathkid]

demigod powers don't require outside help either
it's just the powers we inherit from our godly parents

sounds to me like your world is a lot like mythomagic
or games like it.

[spellslots]

Does mythomagic have a super secret organisation working from a fake moon base?

[Now he's just being a shit.]

[deathkid]

[ can you feel how hard he's rolling his eyes from here? ]

why, does yours?

[spellslots]

That's who I work for, so yup!

[deathkid]

[ dot dot dot. ]

you know what
i'm not even surprised

[spellslots]

Everyone's always surprised by the robot thing, too.

[Stop this!!]

[deathkid]

robots exist in my world too
i know a demigod who is obsessed
in fact, most haephastus kids are obsessed with machinery

[spellslots]

I think it's more the whole like, we don't have cars and guns and shit, but there are robots, and ovens, and sugar. Seems like most people who come from places like mine aren't up to date on the culinary arts.
