The Magic of Runes

[This particular feed looks much more staged than any of her others. A table has been set up, and there's a wooden box sitting conspicuously in the center of it. Hibiki herself stands excitedly a little to the side, making it easy to see the set up.

And in the background, unintentionally, is a sleeping Cyndaquil. Whoops. BUT IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST--]

Thanks to Aladdin-san's hard work, runic magic works in the city now! There were a lot of flashing lights in the sky recently - that means the magic has returned to Asgard.

I'm probably not the most qualified person to talk about it, but... you can use runic magic to do a lot of things the powers from the gods won't. If you learn how to use them right, you can make up your own spells, too!

[She picks up the box, opening it up and showing the bottom to the screen. Inscribed there is a curious circle. In the background, the Cyndaquil gives a yawn.]

This is a spell I made. If you use it, you can conjure melon bread!

[By way of demonstration, she touches her fingers to the circle, causing it to glow a soft green mixed with gold. With a snap, she shuts the box... Only to open it again with a steaming loaf of melon bread inside. She sets the box aside and takes out the bread happily.]

See?

If anybody wants to learn more about runic magic, the magic guild Grimoire's Sigil can help teach you! It takes a little to learn, but... I'm sure everybody can do lots of wonderful things with magic like this!

[ One step closer to getting her powers, no matter how basic it may be. It frustrates her, but she must start somewhere. ]

Where is this guild?

[saving_sound]

It's located in Freyr, near the theater!

[burntviolet]

So what I saw the other day, was really...

[ Oh... wow. Suddenly she feels a little lucky for learning the rune alphabet. ]

I'll be sure to learn more, before I try any spell then. Um... is there any spell list I can consult?

[saving_sound]

There are a few we've already made! If we meet up at the guild, I can show them to you!

[burntviolet]

Yes, please. Can you tell me a few of them? They could be useful for me and I want to prepare myself.

I have not discovered all of the secrets of the God magic and now there is a new form? Fascinating! I thought magic could only come from the Gods here?

In what part of the city is this magic guild of yours?

[ video ]

[saving_sound]

We thought so too at first, but Aladdin-san found out there was runic magic too! We just couldn't use it until now because of the grey sickness.

Grimoire's Sigil is in Freyr, right by the theater. You can't miss it!

This Aladdin must be a very powerful magician to figure out how to release that magic?

I might stop by some time just to hear more about this. Everything about magic is new and exciting to me. There is just one thing... melon bread, signorita? Does that spell come in handy often?

[multifacets]

Whoa, melon bread! I haven't seen that in ages! Can anyone learn how to do that?

video.

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! Anyone can use this magic, as long as they learn how to write the runes correctly!

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

Ah...how long did it take you do do that Hibiki? I'm still learning how rune magic works myself but it's so cool what you can do with it!

[Voice]

[saving_sound]

Eheheh... I've been studying it almost since Aladdin-san found out about it, so it took me a long time...

But I'm sure you can learn it more quickly!

[Voice]

[needsmoregreen]

A long time huh...then I'll be sure to study just as much as you did! Because I know I want a melon bread...whatever it is!

[noblejustice]

Magic has returned to Asgard? And I'm quite interested in learning this runic magic, Hibiki. Where is this magic guild located?

[ video ]

[saving_sound]

It's in the Freyr district... Ah, Enrique-sama, you work at the Draupnir, right? It's actually very close to that building!

[seventeenpills]

Oh! Yum! Melon Bread!

[....yes that's what he gets from this at first. Magical melon bread.]

Does it taste like regular melon bread?

[saving_sound]

[Hisao clearly you have your priorities straight!]

Yes, it does! I made this to demonstrate runic magic, but I actually made another one earlier to test it out...

[...Another one that is curiously absent from the picture.]

[ Allison's only seen symbols like that - probably not the same ones, but she can't honestly remember - in books before, so seeing them now and seeing them work is surprising. And, more than that, incredibly interesting. ]

Where is the guild located?

[saving_sound]

It's in the Freyr district! Do you know where the Draupnir theater is?

Video

[sparkling_eyes]

That's amazing! Does Aladdin's guild accept anyone wanting to join?

Video

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! If you're interested at all, you can come give us a visit!

[wasthemaster]

[Magic?

Magic? This one's missed his magic way more than he's ever wanted to admit, but he'll do his best not to look too eager.]

Please tell me there's something more worthy one can do with the runic magic. I suppose melon bread can help if a person were hungry, but you can't exactly do much with it otherwise.

video;

[saving_sound]

H-huh? Well, there's other spells, too...

[She counts off the ones she remembers.]

Making sparkles... Locking things... Purifying things.... Controlling animals...

[Because these are very impressive spells, yes.]

But, as long as you can think of it, you can probably make it! There's lots that runic magic can do.

[talking_dead]

Is that the magic stuff you were checking out at Utgard?

[saving_sound]

Uh-huh! It took us a long time, but... we finally got it to work again!
