The endless waste

[aestrix]

Once, this planet teemed with life. It doesn't do that, anymore. The ground is dry and cracked and occasionally broken up by charred remains of trees. There are no birds, no bugs, no living plants - nothing but an empty, endless waste.

With one exception.

But the world is so very big, and the exception so very small. If someone showed up away from it, they could be quite forgiven for thinking this world is completely dead.

"Go ahead. The magic system's - about moving something called essence around, which comes in lots of different types but exists in some capacity in just about everything, and universally in living things."

"Okay, you just need to tell me that what you said was honest to the best of your capabilities and that you don't see reason to hurt me without provocation. Lesser Discern Lies."

"What I said was honest to the best of my capabilities, and I don't see a reason to hurt you without provocation."

Truth!

"Honest!" Temple says merrily. "Okay, the way I give spellcasting to people is casting a spell repeatedly, I will cast it with hand sign language instead of speech to explain spellcasting further. Sorry if the hand signs are disorienting, you don't need to look." With that said he gestures and she understand as clear as day that the completely unfamiliar gestures mean. "Bring Forth Spell-Word." Each hand is casting a different iteration of the spell. "Okay, so the first time I casted this on you it gave you latent spellcasting, which means you can memorize spells from books or use scrolls and spellbooks. A memorized spell can be used only once then you have to memorize it again. Eventually, my spell will give you your own innate spellword, which you can cast as many times you like and it fits you. All innate magic from my original world-cluster fits the person."

All this with explained with a background sensation of "Bring Forth Spell-Word. Bring Forth Spell-Word. Bring Forth Spell-Word. Bring Forth Spell-Word."
