I can't fix you, but maybe I can still help

He's trying to kill us--could ruin him--worry about that later--grab your sister and go.

"You cast it and then you arrive wherever you were going."

[powerispain]

"No but like what's with spells, plural, d'you have a way to teleport by Sympathy here?"

[alicornucopia]

"By what?"

[powerispain]

"Sympathy. As opposed to Conquest. Or Effort, but Effort teleportation would be way harder than adapting it for Sympathy, probably."

[alicornucopia]

"What are you talking about?"

[powerispain]

"Magic?"

[alicornucopia]

"...well, magic's different here."

[powerispain]

"Different how?"

[alicornucopia]

"It doesn't have any of the stuff you just said? And teleportation works better."

[powerispain]

"Teleportation normally works fine, I just messed up. How do you do magic, then?"

[alicornucopia]

"Uh -" Green hair lady makes a gesture and says a word and now she's a foot to the left. "Like that."

[powerispain]

"...Weird. You actually have to talk and gesture? I think my magic's better if it's possible to take away yours by binding and gagging you."

[alicornucopia]

"...why is that the first place your mind goes?"

[powerispain]

"Because those are the obvious ways to make you not able to do magic?"

[alicornucopia]

"Do you have that problem a lot?"

[powerispain]

"No, but I was fleeing a murder attempt when I came here,and my brain hasn't gotten completely out of paranoid mode yet."

[alicornucopia]

"Okay, well, wizards can in fact be prevented from doing magic," says the green hair lady, "but it doesn't come up very much."

[powerispain]

"Yeah, probably. ...So, um, I'm...not really sure what to do with myself at this point. I'm not even sure whether my sister's still facing down death by irate teacher or not."

[alicornucopia]

"You were trying to bring your sister along?"

[powerispain]

"Yeah."

[alicornucopia]

"...and your magic can't scry her?"

[powerispain]

"She's not in range. I checked."

[alicornucopia]

"Well, what's your range?"

[powerispain]

"I haven't measured it recently, but pretty large. Comparatively speaking. Hundreds of miles."

[alicornucopia]

"Okay, well, it seems like you need a wizard, but if you're from a spherical planet I bet you don't have any local money..."
