25 D&D & Mage Hand (1/2)

”What is D&D?” Nora befuddled by the new found word

”Well, D&D is actually called 'Dungeons and Dragons'...” Percy responded before being cut off by Great Mage Mirlie, ”How did a spell come from this 'Dungeons and Dragons'?”

”It's doesn't really have Dungeons nor Dragons. Well... It kinda does. It's a type of tabletop game, games which are played in groups of people on tables. Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game, a game which focuses on playing characters in an overall story. Everyone plays it slightly differently but it allows people to experience going on fantastical quests and heroic journeys. Letting the mundane turn fantasy.”

”Then, why didn't you just go on an actual journey or quest?” Nora spoke, ”Wouldn't it be far more enjoyable?”

”Nora, unlike your cultivator world, people of my world had no supernatural abilities. Without power, our people turned to intellect. With this intellect, they tamed the world and in turn tamed themselves. The most the average joe could expect to attain in life was a nice home and a quiet life.”

”What about people not called Joe?” Great Mage Sev curiously inquired.

”Ughh, that's just an expression...” Percy's hand striking his face, ”average joe means the average person”

”That's a rather odd turn of phrase... I wonder how all the Joe's felt...” Great Mage Sev still slightly missing the point.

”Anyway, can I go back to reading the cultivation manual?” his gaze peered at the people around him, the consensual nod, cueing his leave.

Nora attempted to analyze the magic formula on the board in front of her. The lack of knowledge in the regards of magic formula's really showed it's head. Nora could only grasp that magic formula's were in fact somewhat similar to arrays.

She could only wish that she had more magic formula to compare, but for now, she would settle with what she was given and she would try to grasp 'Mage Hand'.

”Great Mage Mirlie, what is the incantation for Mage Hand?” the absence of the incantation finally dawning on Nora as she had been far more interested in the magic formula itself.

”Whoops... I completely forgot. I guess old age really does catch up with you...” Great Mage Mirlie replied in a mutterance, more to herself than anyone else.
