[color=a0410d]"So boss, what kind of exercise we looking at this time?"[/color] the Djinn inquired; staring at the Director. [color=0087BD]"Guild is the term my father used when speaking of other magical sects; sounds less dubious than coven."[/color] Rost offered, thumbing through his book without looking back up, [color=0087BD]"I'm aware of the weakness of true names; it's not exactly a uniquely European concept after all. No worries about that here, I've placed wards to mute true name spells withing the base; and I'll prepare brands for the two of you as soon as I have the chance."[/color] he explained further; briefly glancing up from his book to stare at Mason, [color=0087BD]"I'll need to update Mason's binding before the exercise as well. The current version is not quite enough to suppress that Shadow of his."[/color] [@LightningMaiden][@Blueflame][@digichiptune][@KatherinWinter]
