Pleasure, then, Francis. Hawke's a good sort, just sticking his hands in things that no one asked him to.

Ah, new to the stuff, I gotcha. Guess it can have different meanings from world to world but, for mine, it means a person who prays to their god and gets their magic that way. I serve a goddess of death, my faith to her gets me a portion of her power to use as I need. Not all magic users are like that back home, mind; there's plenty others who get their magic through other means, that's just my path. Do you use magic or just curious to know?
