“Hey careful with that thing, we need to make sure it’s safely passed on to his apprentice.”
“It’s not like they couldn’t make another... All this thing did was serve him as a light up walking cane.”
“... No, I’m pretty confident it’s a lot more significant than that.”
“Really? Did you ever see him once cast a spell with this thing? He just used it to find his way around the Library if anything.”
“I was part of one of the scout parties out in the fracture, I swear I saw him use it to drive off a hoard of riviters, it gave off some sort of blinding light.”
“Oh please, the dark arcane there was getting to your head... He was casting spells with his free hand. You’re letting all the stories and folklore get to your head about it channeling Verenia’s light.”
“Why would you doubt such a thing like that, you’re a follower too.”
“You know how few people have any sort of direct connection with Verenia? The priests of the Western region are just priests, they’re there to spread faith and hope in the religion. If anything this should just go in a museum.”
“No... You’re wrong, I really think he talked to her.”
“And how do you know for sure? He talks for her in the sense that it’s what she would want, she wasn’t whispering in his ear.”
“I just.... Fuck, why do I work this job with you, you’re such a downer.”
“Realist, I’m a realist, this staff is just a glow stick and cane shoved into one. A little bit of infused Tritium and Freaov to keep it lit up for decades. There’s nothing really magical about it. Friskan’s magic came from his faith and his dedication to the craft. Not a stick.”
“.... Maybe you’re right... Let’s just... Get this to Mirianne.”
“Of course I’m right. I graduated from the Southern college.”
