She lifts her brightly colored staff high and speaks the otherworldly tongue.
wandering spirits, hear me. I am a player of the black arts. Eavesdrop on these people who are eating and drinking, and I will provide you with food offerings. The shadows move on their own. The apparitions heard her call. Leaves flutter as unseen forces approach the silhouettes of people.
Unlike a traditional magic user, 'bearer' who is given authority to manipulate an element they study in, in exchange for strain on their bodies, Warin is a 'player [of the dark arts]', someone who make trades in exchange for supernatural powers.
There are many ways to satiate spirits, but food offerings are the easiest. However, it takes a while before they become hungry again.
She deems this situation worthy of supernatural help.
