[Okay but WHY ARE THE SPRINKLERS ON in the foyer and all along the central corridors?]

[They're just ... going to keep going. And going. And going, for just over half an hour, until there are some nice puddles all over the floors.]

Oh..? What sort of magic did you learn?

[anoblecaws]

All sorts! I'm really good at dark magic, especially.

[goodbyenurse]

Darkness, you say..?

How odd. Perhaps we are somewhat more alike than would be seen at first glance.

[anoblecaws]

Well, my darkness isn't just darkness. It's also memory, emotions, death, transformation, and other things that can't really be handled using regular elements like lightning or fire!

[goodbyenurse]

Oh? Mine generally involves the void, gravity, and utterly unmaking things.

[anoblecaws]

Oh, the void and utterly unmaking things, I can do! ...Kinda. I don't have the right spellbooks for that stuff right now.

Gotta channel power and all that.

[goodbyenurse]

I see... My seal handles that for me.

[anoblecaws]

Seal? What kind?

[He props his head up on his hands, leaning against the table. Most of the seals he knows are for prohibiting things, not encouraging them.]

[goodbyenurse]

It is known as the Elemental Seal of Darkness. It holds back certain dark deities, but also provides its holder with certain capabilities related to the element.

[anoblecaws]

You guys consider darkness an element, huh? We always called the elemental magic stuff that you can easily see in the world, more or less -- fire, water, air, and so on. Dark magic was everything else.

'Cause you can't see it.

So it's dark.
