>the basic magic books can't teach us much, so maybe read some recent research papers, and maybe 'fix' or streamline some of their spells.
The building for clan arcana was exactly what you expected.
Some gothic styled mansion with high towers for no discernible reason.
What you didn’t expect is to set off the alarms just as you stepped inside.
A extremely annoying bell rang and a red light was illuminated over you.
With two guards rushing towards you, you though this could be the end.
A few ideas on how to go guns blazing started to form in your mind.
“Sir, don’t be alarmed, but you have a parasite on your person.” The first guard said.
He was showing his palms while approaching you, but you were confused.
You expected them to see through your disguise.
But now they had you concerned over something unrelated.
“I, eh, I have what?”
“Yes sir, it’s of magical nature, you need help.”
*magic?* you though to yourself, then reached inside your pocked
“You mean Potato?” you pulled out the infantile spriggan who was now sleeping.”
The guards and some wizard that had come to help were as bewildered as you.
The guard tried to reassure you, with a little less confidence this time.
“Yes sir, he must have attached to your mind, that’s why you are carrying it around.”
“No, he is my… Pet? Prisoner? I’m not sure right now. But he is harmless.”
“I…I’m not sure you understand the gravity of the situation sir.”
“Look, I don’t want to get rid of it right now. Can’t I just keep it?”
The wizard completely lost it and left, demanding you were kicked out.
“mmmh, look, we can’t let things like that get inside. Could I help you with something else?”
Sensing a opportunity to get someone to do all the work, you strike.
“Damn, I just wanted the new researched papers publish.”
“I can probably get you the publicized ones. Just, promise to keep it away from that thing. We don’t want them learning.”
“Sure”
A few minutes later the guard comes back with a newspaper like document.
“Form this month. I’m Kreve by the way.”
“John” you shook his hand.
“If you need help removing the thing please come here.”
You got the documents and dint even need to go inside.
Neat.
…
Reading the thing on some coffee shop was illuminating.
They arcana clan was decently competent at their job.
They had a catalog of different functions they combined at leisure.
The only real problems where with larger projects, such as a grimoire in which each page references each other for a greater spell.
Simple things were nailed down but larger ones fell apart if not maintained.
You gathered some ideas from the documents, like using the computer to run a spell on a loop so it created a continuous effect.
But that would consume the battery.
