☀️ Arselia and Akonia

I keep getting distracted, either by role-playing or by other things, instead of writing the essay. When I was writing my first post today, I was tempted to write a sixth song. 😅

-- I don't know how dwarven runes work, but I have a blacksmith's rune on my armor. If Sir Sanderstrike can't make them even better, well, maybe it will be a good reason for me to create armor of higher quality myself.

— You're thinking correctly. Very correctly, — she nods, — I don't remember if I mentioned it, but in my home world, high-tech armor also existed, using the latest achievements of scientific progress. Moreover, it didn't restrict movement and didn't require special training before wearing, unlike plate armor. Actually, I arrived here wearing something like that... but unfortunately, it also sank. So, you won't be able to touch or examine it, so don't even be tempted. But I believe that you will be able to invent something just as good, if not better, for yourself and for your comrades, — she winks, — perhaps even with an eye towards our unique characteristics. But all of this, of course, is a plan for the distant future!

-- Well, if you want, tell me. Otherwise, I have the feeling that all this "separation" of magic and science in this world is only due to the fact that certain techniques are only available with a special talent, while others work unconditionally.

— Yes, it's probably better to talk about it a little later, and not outside and in the middle of the night. Otherwise, I'll end up writing a long post instead of an essay. But some of the ideas should appeal to you, as my intuition tells me.
