722 Years after the Repentance

Entry: 1/022

Dear self,

I slept in late this morning. That dispelling charm the poacher threw at us yesterday had an unexpected interaction with the Aarthrium still infusing me. I got an irritating headache that might last for a few days and my limbs are less eager to move. We were a little too focused on the Guild revocation alert to remember the risks to my health. I just need to avoid any magic usage apart from general rituals until the headache goes away, I do not have enough control over my own powers to avoid causing an Incuria. The Whirlstorms came in with their Teetotum and another charm they owned to have Mother check up on the things, and she was giving me a stern glare after she came back from inspecting the Teetotum. It really did have too many workings for its own grounding matrix to properly support.

Anora arrived today for a visit home from the academy. She was all smiles and cheers before Mum took her by the ear. They spent a while in the workshop inspecting the enchantment we extracted from me yesterday morning and having a loud lesson on magic and safety.

After that we gathered together for lunch. Tori showed us his progress on his puzzle prism which he could now get to change colours when he twisted it. Anora exclaimed just as much over the beaming boy as Mother did. Anora told us news about the academy and how Father was doing. My brother Vaeril was progressing in his research with Animus Theory and measuring how the likelihood of Wild magic is affected by environmental factors. Anora sounded a little eager to please and how much she put up with Father’s training regime.

Anora helped us plan out and prepare to look for the nearby rift. I couldn’t help prepare the divinations on the shard of Fortuity but I had a lot of recent insight on how the local flora might have been affected by the rift in certain areas which might be used to estimate where it is influencing the region.

We do suspect it is a natural rift and as such hold a connection with Chaos magic, which should be dealt with earlier rather than later if it is causing a problem. The thing about Chaos magic is that it isn’t bound to any Fundaments or Era so there is no system with which to regulate its potentiality. Chaos magic is the primal result of blending realities into one another, which makes it understandable why the products of chaos magic are always so uncertain. It’s primal in nature so there is no control over what shards of reality are being brought to our own and natural rifts such as the one nearby have even less control over the powers of Chaos.

Hope we fare well.

Regards,

Me.
