Yeah, Witches do kinda get let loose as far as finding out what magic we can learn and how far we can go with it, but there's still organised classes for that. Monsters pretty much get dropped in cold, have to dig up basically any information themselves unless they meet someone who knows about what they are, and even then they might not even know half of what they're gonna end up dealing with.

[Momo knows a fair few merrows and even then he has very little idea of what Yuki's change is going to entail beyond the obvious, despite doing his own research on the side.

The dying part...well. It makes sense for a vampire when he thinks about it, but it doesn't stop Momo from drawing a very audible sharp breath.] Wait, so you die as part of your transformation but you didn't know until it actually happened!? I knew info was hard to get hold of for Monsters, but if you're going to warn someone of anything about their change, you'd think dying would be at the top of the list!

[He sounds Extremely Concerned about this, to put it lightly.] Did you...recover okay? Is that the right word for coming back from dying?

[He knows a Witch who exploded, but he's pretty sure coming back from that works differently.]
