L15. Luck of the Messengers

Npc : Arcania

"I think I may have a solution to this problem.
If I can manage to find a proper medium on which to cast a new spell,
I may be able to use it as a magnet of sorts to draw the original spell's magic back to me."

"This current fiasco has only made me more conscious of the risks involved, but I'm at a loss for a better option. Please hurry and send word of my plan to my mentor Merlin,
then gather the items Wolfgang and Ruby had.
Once you have them, return to me as quickly as you're able.

I'll do all I can to return my friends to their former selves!"

"I've always had a bit of a knack for magic, even at a young age, but it wasn't until Merlin graciously took me on as an apprentice that I realized how badly I wanted to use it for the good of others.
Remembering that truth makes mistakes like this one ever the more difficult to swallow."

"Please hurry and bring back the items I need! I can't guarantee that Wolfgang and Ruby's condition
won't worsen!"

"Thanks to you, Sprite Messenger, I now have everything I need for a medium.
It may take a while for it to draw in the original spell's magic,
but I'm confident it'll work!"

Arcania sets about positioning the items with meticulous precision.
Such a pattern would be nearly impossible for you to master, even if shown a hundred times, and you are left impressed by her skill.

"I want to thank you again for all your help. I-I'm not sure how I would've managed..."

The words leaving her mouth are garbled but sincere.
You gently wave aside her worries with your hand and leave her to concentrate on her task.
