[ she gets in on the passenger side, and settles into the seat; she puts her seatbelt on. seatbelts are important, she's been in a car with D.Va once. ]
Wasn't it a different park we went to? Well, no matter. They're all nice.
[ Naturally, she also puts her seatbelt on, before taking the car onto the roads, cruising not too fast, but the engine purring and the wind in their hair. ]
Sorcery is the methods of cultivating ones mind, energies, and souls toward particular sublime paths, as spiritual as it is practical. Well, truthfully, for most, myself including, we think mostly about the practical applications. We learn the most profound truths about reality, and crystallize them into spells. That's what they are, before they are words and amulets and rituals. The Star is the Path of moving, of space, of vastness. Thus, moving and perceiving are the gifts that I learned.
...Haha, a bit weighty for cheerful evening drive, sorry.
Oh, I mean—it's not really weighty at all, is it? Even if I don't understand it exactly, it's something I wanted to know more about. Are there a lot of paths...?
Quite a lot. Sky, Sun, Moon, Storm, Earth, Blood, Breath, Bone, Death... those are some of the more common ones. There's also magic that falls outside of most of the paths, but which sorcerers tend to cultivate, like warding, and spirit-talking.
Usually, but not always. It can seem quite metaphorical, at times, and the paths often overlap. Both Sun and Star have spells for discerning the truth, for example. Besides Water, there are the paths of Sea and River, with their own unique aspects, but broad similarities. There are many small and rare Paths, and those whose souls are attuned to them have difficulty finding adequate training.
...well, I suppose there's a lot of things that we think of as simply techniques for manipulating essence where I come from that are very narrowly specialized, with sorcery as its own category, so I suppose it's not that different from that perspective.
[ a... pause. ]
Is there something with... chaos? I feel like you've said something like that, before.

Most of the travel I've done hasn't really been for fun, though.

Probably not for me, either. Only nobles did things like that.

Ah, I didn't think of that, I'm sorry! I'll go a little slower.

I suppose a lot of those are self-explanatory, at least. I think?
