Good morning. My name is Ignis Scientia; I've been designated a Witch here, for the purposes of magical classification.

What I'm looking for, before things get much further along here for me, is something of a study partner or group. I've been primarily focused on element-related magic, such as fire, ice, etc, particularly in the field of Enchantment and, recently, Evocation. I've an interest in Abjuration, and of course more universal spells of various low- to mid-level varieties. Eventually, I'd expect to be well-rounded in multiple areas.

If you're willing to spend time outside of the usual Coven classes working on these skills, please contact me. I'm particularly intrigued by those who've experimented with runes, as well as those applying magic to clothing, weaponry, or other objects. In addition, I'd be curious to hear from those who had different sorts of magic in your home world, and how you're applying that knowledge here.

Whether these meetings take a more academically-minded format or find better exercise in the form of something like sparring, I'm keen to do as much as I can.

Thank you for your time, and have a pleasant day.

I'm trying to practice a little bit of everything, but since astrology was my specialty back home, I'm trying to focus on evoking the power of the stars here, to see what they might reveal about this place.

Oh, I've found out quite a bit!

It's been a struggle, since this star map is completely alien to my own, but some of the principals are still the same. Instead of the North Star, we have Aisling, shining even through the overcast. Instead of the zodiac, we have the Lord and the Lady and ten more asterisms representing the ten classes of Monster. There's a ton of literature on all of this, and the mythology surrounding the Lord and the Lady is particularly fascinating!

As for how the power of the stars are evoked here, diviniation's almost a gimme, but I'm sure if I study enough, I can find other applications, too.

Not in the slightest! [ Her smile shines in her tone. ]

Any opportunity to learn is an excellent one, I say.
