Let's suppose hypothetically back home you could do something a bit unnatural, and since showing up here it isn't working anymore

How would one go about getting that fixed

starting to put that together
can't exactly say it's reassuring
not good trust building, this

i'd say "get used to it" but I haven't in two months. it's not going to change. they say you can get it back upon graduation. i guess we'll see about that.

what was it they took from you?

[defensemechanisms]

I've been able to make shields for myself since I was sixteen
feels weird now, not having it

you?

[sanctus_dei]

shields? with magic? i'm a spellcaster. was. will be again, if i have any say in it.

[defensemechanisms]

Suppose you could call it magic, though I worked for an organization that came at it a bit more science-y

Give us a heads-up if you figure that one out mate

[sanctus_dei]

yeah? not like the government though, right?

they keep saying the only way is graduation, but there has to be something else. there always is.

[defensemechanisms]

No, not the government. May as well have been in some ways, but not officially.

[sanctus_dei]

good. the government doesn't have their hands on magic too tightly where i'm from yet. as far as i know, anyway. figure if they did, they wouldn't let anyone else have it.

[defensemechanisms]

Think back where I'm from they're more interested in figuring out how to give it to other people that don't have it

Not necessarily the best candidates for it, either
Or for the best reasons
