The Wizard is [IN].

[noonlight]

Who: Illumination & You!
What: Lu has offered to help various people with their complaints, concerns, and general magical inquiries. If they've offered this to your character, or you just want to see what they're up to, feel free to post a top level.
When: A few days after the return to the Library.
Where: Some side room in the library.
Content warnings: None yet, but probably some mention of substance (alcohol, drug) use.

Somewhere in the library, Illumination has commandeered a small side room and set up a series of chalkboards, note paper, and various other materials used for magical testing. (Salt, stones, a couple of the gems from Link's stash, ink, a magnet, etc.)

That last gets an actual near-chuckle out of him. "It's one benefit," he concedes.

The notion that his status as deceased might matter to the magic catches at his attention, though. That's the more obvious point of variance between him and most anyone else in the Library -- but there is another.

He hesitates a long moment, considering the Veil and the conditions under which it might be pushed aside. There is no other shrike here, and the likelihood of another appearing -- he considers -- is low. And it's more risk to those around him if he carries in as he is, crippled in mind as much as heart.

"There is another thing," he finally says, "that would be useful for you to know. Aside from dead I'm touched by something from outside the visible world."

Best to limit detail as much as he can, at least, if he must share.

"Thank you for letting me know. I'll be sure to put up a few wards along the way, just to make sure that whoever that is, or whatever powers they bring to the mix, are less likely to have an affect." While not wholly the same as some of their other work, Illumination had spent a solid half-year working with the survivors (and ab-dead survivors) after an ill-fated job and knows where some of the dangers lie.

To summarize, you do not want to deal with the mess that is the mental control of higher level vampires and vampires actively trying to raise themselves to semi-godhood.

"If the work becomes too dangerous for me to continue, I'll let you know."
