Spiral: Witching studies been pretty good lately. Want to see something I’m working on?
“Depends what it is.”
Spiral: Check it out!
You pull a wooden box over from the side of your work desk.
They peek over your shoulder in anticipation.
You open it up to reveal a hammer.
“New one?
Spiral: Mmhmm. One that’s got a little more going on.
“Why… does it have a keychain?
“Looks like something that belongs in a game.”
Spiral: It’s a conduit charm, the hammer’s properties change based on what’s linked to it.
“And a duck.. Why?”
Spiral: A friend gave that to me in high school, feel like it’s good luck you know?
“Has it been?”
Spiral: We’ll have to find out! They say things with a lot of attachment are the best conduits though. Really stand out ones will change the form of the weapon. Gives it a bit of flexibility.
“It’s cute, I’ll give you that. You put a lot of work and detail into this…”
Spiral: I mean yeah. Witchcraft’s a bit of something I care a lot about.
“Why don’t you do that instead? Better for your health.”
Spiral: I guess…
“Practically fighting for mine these days, think we all need to be better about keeping ourselves safe.”
Spiral: I just need to get out of my debt you know? After that I’m clean, no more.
“Mm…”
“May not be together anymore but.. Don’t want to outlive you that soon. Don’t do anything stupid, please…”
“I know the jobs‘ve been getting worse with time.”
“Lord knows you’ve drunken all sorts of sludge just for a quick buck.”
Spiral: Things’ll be different…
“Different how? I want to hear something specific.”
“Depends what it is.”
