[Castiel is all business, as usual, in turning on the feed; he's broadcasting from his nice home in Freyr district, not actually at work at the moment, and he has his serious face on not that that's different from usual. His voice is even and clinical, but to those that know him well he sounds a bit more subdued than usual, lacking the normal underlying enthusiasm for the subjects he's about to discuss.]

When I was here before, I was working on a compilation of powers and detailed information on abilities, limitations, and uses for each of them at their different levels of strength. It is now outdated, but I would like to improve upon on it.

[There is an attached file, powers.txt, available for opening or download for those who want to view it.]

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has more information, even on entries that already contain details, and particularly on those that don't.

I am also interested in distribution of individuals among the houses. When I was here the first time, particularly in the first few days, Heimdall house vastly outmatched the others in terms of numbers. I am curious as to if that has changed, and how the balance stands now.

[So feel free to chime in with houses if you desire to share; he's curious, and collecting and analyzing the information will give him something to do. The public part of the feed ends there, as he switches to a private filter.]

[Filtered to Lancelot]

I apologize for never contacting you back. If you desire to practice your power, I am available at any time.

[Daphne's called him out of work for the next week, so he might as well do something, and he does feel bad about not getting back to Lancelot about this. As usual, he'd gotten distracted with the drama that is his life.]

If no one else steps up to tell you all about shadow control, I've got a bit of it. Just a bit, though.

[He's been working at it a little. It might be hard to see, but the tiny shadow behind him waves. His hand is still.]

[ofthursday]

I have seen it demonstrated only briefly at level one, so any information you have on it would be appreciated even if it is just at the lowest power.

[He doesn't miss that little movement of the shadow either.]

[fantastix]

I can only move my own, and only if there's a shadow. No shadow-bending at high noon for me.

I can twist the shape a bit if I concentrate, and sometimes I can lift it, but I'm not making swords yet. Probably could after a while, though.

[He makes a few notes by hand offscreen.]

Is it incorporeal, or can it interact with objects?

[fantastix]

It can, but I've got to really concentrate. You'd be better off talking to someone further along.

[ofthursday]

Knowing the limitations at each level can be just as useful as the abilities.

[fantastix]

Right.

Well I'll start tracking my progress if I've got the time. Maybe you can work out how long it might take to master.

[ofthursday]

If you do so, I would indeed be interested in the information.
