[Faith's door remains closed, the brass "PRIVATE" plaque silent and unyielding. Trying to force the door yields no results, but- she said you could contact her here, so just go ahead and knock. Worst case scenario, you're no worse off than before, right?]

Your efforts combine into something beyond either of your individually.

[She nods.]

The right words, with the proper emotion and intent behind them, can change the world. More literally than perhaps you suspect.

[composalvation]

.... That's what I hope. I don't want to change the world itself, but... to help change others. To save them, with our music.

[She believes in that power of music. She always has. She just knows her music isn't god enough right now.]

[shieldof]

That's quite a noble goal. I must confess, my own interest in magic is largely academic before anything else.

[composalvation]

Really? So you want to know more about it because it's just... there?

[Makes sense, honestly.]

I understand. There's so much variety in all kinds of magic... I bet you can get lost for days studying just one kind.

[shieldof]

It's quite fascinating, yes. A well-cast spell can be like- a bit like a conversation with the universe at large, I suppose. Seeing the way everything is structured, for just an instant, and being invited to tinker a tiny bit.

[composalvation]

[... Watching Faith's expression as she talks about magic... Kanade wonders if that's what she looks like when she talks about music.]

What's your favorite kind of spell?

[So maybe... it'll be nice to just keep her talking.]

[shieldof]

Transmutation is most fascinating, it is something of a specialty. Conjuration calls to what is, necromancy to what was, divination to what will, illusion and enchantment to what is not-

[She runs a hand over her cup as she speaks, the geometric pattern running around its circumference changing from dark blue to a warm red under her touch.]

Transmutation asks and answers what could be.

[composalvation]

[Her head tilts to one side as Faith's magic works. It seems so simple, but... it's still impressive, to someone who can't do any kind of magic.]

So it's like... seeing potential and drawing it out?
