Main Campfire, Friday Evening

Once the sun went down, a rather spectacularly large bonfire was lit for the party. No, Merlin was not aware it was now celebrated on the first of May. Calenders change, after all.

There was even a crudely constructed maypole there in case anyone felt the need to dance around it. They did so at their own peril, of course. The mockery that may ensue would probably be great.

"Ummm..." Karla looked a bit embarassed. "Which ones? Shadow? Healer? Craft?"

She shrugged, not waiting for an answer. "Those are a good place to start, anyway. Craft is what we call magic. Basic Craft is the small, easy things any witch can do: airwalking, passing objects, calling items, vanishing items, stuff like that." Karla demonstrated as she talked: hopping up in the air, but not coming back down, passing her marshmallow stick through a rock, calling in a bottle of wine and then making ot disappear again. Simple stuff.

"Advanced Craft is what separates the castes. Healers heal the bodies with Craft, as well as potions, brews, teas, and the like. I already told you about Black Widows, but one of the illusions we can create is a shadow; a recreation of an object's physical form. A first-stage shadow is stationary, and cannot be touched, tasted, or felt. A second-stage shadow can move around, but it has to be manipulated like a puppet. It looks solid and real enough, but still has no tactile capabilities. A third-stage shadow can touch, but cannot be touched, and must still be manipulated. The last stage shadow is fully tactile, to all the senses, and doesn't need to be manipulated, so long as it goes through simple routines. The conversation is pretty boring, but it can have independent conversations. No shadow can do Craft, though."

She smiled sympathetically at Fiona. "Have I answered what you wanted, or just made it more confusing?"

"You've given me things to think about. And things to... ask about."

"Feel free to ask me whenever you like. I always have time for a Sister. I'm in Rutherford, should you wish to find me. Or, if you can, send me a thought on a distaff thread. I'll get it." Karla smiled, then stood up. "It's been a pleasure to meet you Fiona."
