Fun with Magic | Monday, 2nd period

[nuclear_snide]

Class today had been handwavily asked to meet in the Danger Shop, where they were greeted by a beaming Bob. Bob loved the Danger Shop. He could touch things here. Sort of.

"Today, we paint," Bob said, grinning. He programmed up a bunch of sticks that looked like paintbrushes, but although the ends were colored, they had no actual paint in them. He picked one up and waved it through the air, leaving a trail of blue glowing behind it. Then he reached out with one hand and smudged it. "Like so. Enjoy!"

"Raising the dead is generally frowned upon, at least in my world," Bob said. "Once a person is entirely dead, returning them fully to life, body and soul, is as close to sacrilegious as you can get, considering most wizards don't follow any one religion."

He gave Norman a serious look. "Whether it carries similar consequences in your world or not, it is certainly never something to be considered lightly."

Norman gave that information some consideration that was about as serious as the look that Bob was giving him. He pulled in a breath, and then exhaled.

"I don't think I've ever considered... that," he replied. "I've never even really wanted to. Maybe because even the dead aren't necessarily completely gone. Not from where I'm standing."

He blew out a little breath. The last of his dragon, or at least the last of the dragon that he'd created without the brush, faded away.

"I've seen souls trapped in ruined bodies before," he added, after a pause. "It's not something I think I could ever bring myself to do."

"That is a very good point of view," Bob said. "Remember that, and you'll be fine."

Norman nodded a little bit, turning his attention back to the lingering glow of the green paint from the brush.

"It's not something I'm likely to ever forget."

It really, really wasn't.
