Post Three: Gifts From Home

[witchofthechalk]

[Tiffany had been home when she recieved the strange package in the mail. Wondering who was sending her anything here and the sight interest in the post in general (you tended not to get much mail in the Chalk) she opened the package very carefully. This turned out to be a good thing as she would have dropped it if she hadn't done this.]

I take that's quite normal to recieve "things" from home, in the post around here?

[If anyone see's Tiffany, she is now wearing a neclace that looks like This ]

All sorts of things really. Some have simple shops where they help people with spells and magical items. Others help advise Kings and other nobility.

They sell their magic?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not the magic itself, but what they can do with their magic. It's a trade, like selling hats or being a blacksmith.

Oh. Where I come from witches aren't allowed to ask for payment for thier help.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I see. Well I suppose the use of magic just differs from world to world.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Yes. Besides we don't use magic unless it's neccisary. Most problems can be solved with headology or common sense. Or hard work.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

That depends on the witch or wizard in my world. There are many, including myself, who try to find other options before relying on magic, while others use magic all the time.

[She nodds] Common sense solves more problems then people think it will.

Oh and Wizards use different magic as well from witches where I come from. I haven't met any but I know they all go to school to learn it.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

It certainly does.

How interesting...Both witches and wizards can have formal training in Ingary.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Witches tend to have apprenticeships with older witches insted of going to school.

I don't really know much about wizards.

It's a bit of a mix in my world. My sister Lettie was training under Mrs. Fairfax, and I myself had started learning from my husband.
