[quote=TheHangedMan] Ah, so something like a spy ring, only less illegal? Her information network is based on regular peoples daily observations or something like that? [/quote] Correct, it's much like a spy ring. As it's structured similarly to a police detective's list of contacts and confidential informants, it's still pretty shady, but entirely legal. Yes and no, it's based on daily observations, though specific information can be requested and investigated by certain members, if Aoife herself is unable to. Another way to think of Aoife is to compare her to an information broker, so some people might tell her secrets, while others might pay her to divulge secrets. Though she has a pretty strong moral compass, so there's a high chance she'd keep her lips sealed for some major secrets. [quote=Shifter_Master] That was an enjoyable read and I agree with what Excidius said about putting in to perspective about the strengths of the Masgistrava. It also made me realize that Adam is an even bigger concern for some of the teachers considering he took 5 years to gain and upperclassmen's skills in every aspect of magic they could teach. He probably look likes a magical time bomb with the way he flaunts with his limits. I also liked reading about her analytically mind considering the similarities to the quality of his magical senses. [/quote] RIght. To teachers, Aoife is quite the favorable student in that she shows reverence to the elementary basics that she was taught from the beginning. For Aoife, there's a clear beginning to all of her spells, and even her most earth-shattering spellcraft would seem very "clean". She isn't some terrifying prodigal genius that can create and cast massive spells without precedent, that's dangerous, she's instead a highly elite upperclassman that can easily cast and understand powerful spells with as few dangers and as little energy consumption as possible. That said, her aspirations to be a magical crimes inspector aside, Aoife's skills symbolize what "normal" Magestrava can be if they work and try hard enough. --- Now, I said it before, but my posting pace is a little slower than some. I'll do my best to churn out at least one post a day, though. Hopefully two if time and situation permits.
