We were brought to a world with magic, and we can use that magic. There's native runes, or anything that other shardholders can teach you. Sadly, what can't be taught anymore is fire magic - since the Pyrii died it's no longer avaliable unless we knew it at home and use our shards.
I don't know. Maybe, um...is there any magic that's based in some kind of science, or even math?
[She feels like she'd be more comfortable with more structured disciplines than with whimsical things. Like illusions. There's no way illusions would work for her.]
Well... There's potion making, if you'd like to learn something alchemic like that? Artithmancy was taught in my world, but it's not as useful here, and most of the magic I know is using wands and incantations.
[ She thinks that, maybe, Verity would enjoy potion making - it's logical, follows a process that makes sense, and it's very easy to use it as a way to distract yourself from your thoughts at times. ]
It is just like muggle chemistry. There are ingredients that you have to put together to make a potion with certain effects. I have some potion books with me, if you'd like to look at them?
[ She's already moving to her bag, to try and pull out the book. ]
[ She reaches around into her beaded bag, pulling out one of her simpler books, part of a boon she got months and months ago. A quick tap of her wand duplicates the book itself, and she hands that over for Verity. ]
[ But she leans over, tapping the front cover with her finger. ]
This is a first year potion book. Anything you want to learn is in there, and if you have questions you can ask me. Once you're a little more sure of theory I can take you to my cauldrons.
[She flips through a few pages of the book curiously.]
Oh, okay. This is great. Thank you.
[She might not be able to understand it all right away, but that's also true of some of the science and math books she's read in the past. It's definitely the kind of book she can curl up with for awhile. Piecing things together and making sense of the theories can be a nice distraction.]

Really? That's incredible.

That sounds interesting, yeah. That seems like it could be sort of like chemistry?

[It'd be nice to get a better idea of whether or not it's something she'd be able to get into. She's definitely intrigued.]

[ She's determined, and she gives a soft smile, lifting her head and nodding, once. ]
