[ Some might remember the last time they saw Sabrina she was living in the empty Spellman Mortuary, but the view on the screen today reveals she's returned to her assigned government housing in Maurtia Falls #001. Not that she had wanted to leave her "home", but with it disappearing altogether on her there was very little choice in the matter.

Her expression is contemplative, a low hum can be heard before she speaks. ]

For those of you that come from worlds where you were born with magic— uh, or I guess were given magic powers here...? [ She shakes her head, staring off to the side as her train of thought is derailed. ] Sorry, what I just want to ask is if there's anyone who would be willing to help me hone my own magic?

[ She's had quite a bit to think about since the Diomuhr fiasco. Sorry for nearly getting some people killed. ]

I'm wondering if there's anyone whose magic is primarily based on incantations and is adept at conjurations, too. Since my arrival I've learned that there are so many kinds of magic, something I honestly didn't know much about back home. I'm hoping I could practice alongside someone whose magic is similar to mine.

[ While Sabrina's opened up more about her witch powers, she's never made a public announcement like this before. It's almost surreal. ]

So if there are other witches, that would be helpful, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a witch. Seems like magic comes in all shapes and forms across the universes and still operates similarly in some places.

I know a few, in fact.

[slightlyoffchilt]

-- Oh, you said witches.

[melodramagic]

[ A stare. ]

... yes, witches. But again, it doesn't have to be...?

[ Wait. There's something going over her head, isn't there? ]

[vanto]

[ lmao, chilton ]

[viciousmaukery]

Not a witch, [but he is a blood hunter, does that count as magical?] but I've got some magic and a couple of incantations up my sleeve. [He has Vicious Mockery and Charm Person and that's it.]

I'd be willing to help, although it'll be very limited. You want magic that's about the same as yours, and those incantations I have are the only things I have that are vaguely similar. The rest is in the magic swords.

[melodramagic]

What sort of incantations can you perform?

[ She's very curious about Molly's powers. After all, Molly's an intriguing fellow. ]

Do you mean swords imbued with magic?

[viciousmaukery]

I can boil people's blood a bit. I can blind them temporarily. [Although that one's more a Weird Blood Power thing.] Very occasionally I can poke them towards being friendly to me for a little while.

And yes. Ancestral swords that my parents passed on to me—only those of our bloodline can unlock the magic sleeping in them. [They're cheap carnival glass decorated to look fancy, he is lying through his teeth.] It's a long and sad story.

[ idly curious: ]

So are you the type of witch that makes deals with the Devil, or the other kind?

[melodramagic]

[ There's an initial look of disdain, but not directed at Lestat. ]

No, I don't make deals with the Devil. I'm not interested.

[youresovein]

[ he tsks softly, like he's mildly disappointed. ]

Thought you might have met him.

[divaricate]

[ She wasn't born with magic in her world, but she was one of the two survivors of an experiment that gifted her magic for some unknown(???) reason. And her magic has certainly increased and developed/changed in her three years here. ]

I'm a witch who can probably help some.

[melodramagic]

Are you?

[ She perks up some, unable to hold back her obvious interest. Wanda looks young, but she doesn't think much on it; plenty of witches looked much younger than they actually were. ]

I would love that, if it's not too much to ask. I don't have anything to offer in return, but... I suppose I could pay you?

[divaricate]

[ Due to her years spent here already, and some weird time hijinks back home she's ... early 30s here. She tries not to think about it. WHAT IS TIME??? It's The Persistence of Memory, with clocks melting and draped everywhere, that's what. ]

It's not at all. And don't worry about it — it'll be fun. Do you have a place you're already comfortable with working in?

video!

[hellosirs]

I can help with that, Miss Sabrina! I haven't really settled on a school of magic yet, and I'm definitely not a witch, but it'd be interesting to compare notes.

[melodramagic]

Oh, of course! I should have thought of that sooner.

[ Mostly she was still embarrassed about the house situation to approach Angus. ]

What are the core subjects you were interested in?

[hellosirs]

[ No embarrassment! Only freshly baked welcome-back cookies! ]

Umm... Taako mostly taught transmutation spells, but I've been sort of interested in divination. I know one or two evocation spells, too.

Permavid

[governorkang]

I am a sorcerer, but all spells on my world require incantations. I could use some practice myself.

[melodramagic]

[ His appearance startles her only temporarily; Sabrina has never seen a dragon before.

... is he a dragon? ]

... you are?

[governorkang]

All my kind - those of us with bronze scales - are natural sorcerers.

[minorgod]

Sorcerers exist in my world, but they're usually... not beneficial toward people.

[melodramagic]

[ Pause. ]

How do you mean?

[minorgod]

They can use magic on humans to control, hurt, or even possess them. In human hands, magic does more harm than good.

[crassidy]

[Squiiiints.]

Witch? Ooh, that explains the black cat.

[melodramagic]

[ Oh... she never told Cass, did she? ]

Uh, sort of? Salem isn't really a cat, but [ irate meow in the background ] I can see where you're coming from.

[crassidy]

Oi, don't get arsey with me, mate. [Voice raised slightly like maybe he's not talking to Sabrina, but the noisy guy in the background.] Looks like a cat, meows like a cat.

[And then back to Sabrina.] You got a broom?
