[Sabriel's posting this from a couch in De Chima 007. She looks better rested than she did during the blackout, and even offers the camera a polite smile.]

Hello, everyone. I hope everyone who was injured during that mess is recovering- If you need a healer, I'll do what I can. Although some of us will probably be busy tracking down those remaining escaped imPorts- but I'm getting off topic.

[Sabriel pauses, then pushes on.]

During the blackout, there was a demand for imPort healers due to a shortage of local nurses- there still is, by the way. While we can't choose the powers the Porter gives us, I can teach imPorts Charter magic- namely, how to use it to heal.

Charter magic is a form of magic in my world that doesn't require any inborn power to learn- although of course there is considerable variation in both power and aptitude among its practitioners. Those who have been baptized with a Charter mark- [And here Sabriel taps the faint symbol on her own forehead, the mark flaring at her trust before fading away just as quickly.] can learn to access the Charter and draw upon its power for various uses- to attack, to defend, to create, and most importantly, to heal.

For some reason, I can only baptize and teach imPorts. So I'm looking for students- people who want to learn how to heal, but I can teach more than that if you can be trusted to use it responsibly. [Sabriel might be an optimist, and she's been called too trusting by some, but she's not going to teach destructive Charter magic until she's sure her students won't use it for criminal or outright petty purposes.]

I need to warn you though- Charter magic requires patience and dedication to master, and the consequences of overreaching or misusing it can be disastrous to both the mage and anyone near them. But when used properly, it's both safe and useful. If anyone would like a demonstration, I'm happy to offer one in person- it tends to cause trouble for electronics.

[ooc: Sabriel can teach characters with an open power slot how to use Charter magic. This requires a power update submission, but not a port out. I have more information here.]

I see. Healing is a bit hard to demonstrate without an injury, so you'll have to accompany me to a hospital. The rest... well, I suppose it depends on what you see as useful. Are you interested in wards, or spells to incapacitate people without harming them? Or minor things like conjuring light and water, or locking and unlocking things?

All of that sounds useful. Do I gotta choose?

Well, I tend to only teach my students one spell at a time. It's safer that way.

So we start with one and go to the next. Healing's good for the first.

[It would be the most helpful if things got bad.]

I'll show it to you, then you can decide whether you want to be baptized or not.

There aren't any consequences to just... not using Charter magic, but a baptism cannot be undone, unless the Porter intervenes.

Okay. Can come over tomorrow I guess. Which hospital?

[Sabriel sends him an address and a time.]
