[Well he thought it was funny, Belthazar. Lighten up.]

I recall I asked you a question.

[arcanepower]

[It takes him a second to remember. And then another to decide if he wants to entertain the weirdo tonight.]

This is a book on arcane theory. Specifically, this chapter talks about reversing the threads of magic to achieve a stable barrier that would keep certain creatures from passing but allow others to come and go as they please. It's a variation on classic runestone wards, drawing power from the leylines as needed without a conductor.

[Wow he understood like...three of those words, but it's the word 'runestone' that sticks in his memory and both intrigues and confuses him, since only a witch would speak about magic having 'threads'. Strange.]

Are you a runespeaker?

[arcanepower]

No. [He scoffs.] Runemasters are overly-muscled idiots who think they understand the flow of energy in the world. I am an arcanist-- specifically, the apprentice of Magister Adrasteius Bloodspeaker.

[That should explain a lot about his attitude.]

[wearsblack]

[Still sounds like a runespeaker to him]

Should I know who that is?
