Week 17: Unveiling the Veiled

You voice your curiosity, expressing your surprise and slight accusation regarding the presence of black magic, questioning Kore's penchant for secrecy.

You: "You neglected to mention the existence of black magic. It seems you hold quite a few secrets."

Kore: "I assure you, it was not my intention to withhold information. The nature of dark magic is simply an extension of light magic, much like healing is an extension of poison magic or cold is an extension of fire magic. Darkness is the absence of light, healing undoes the effects of poison, and ice is created by removing the fire from water, hence why thermal magic falls under the domain of fire."

Kore: "As for other aspects I may not have disclosed, it is because they haven't been directly inquired about or relevant to our previous discussions. You must understand that my knowledge spans millions of years. It would be impractical to divulge everything without prompting."

You: "Fair enough. Could you provide me with a more comprehensive understanding of the magic in this world?"

Kore: "Certainly. While I have covered the basics and explained the extensions, there is still more to explore. Ah, I nearly forgot to mention lightning magic. Lightning possesses a peculiar relationship with three separate elements. It can be an extension of fire, air, and light individually. Combining all three can yield even more potent lightning magic, although it is not a necessity."

Kore: "However, beyond these details, I am uncertain of what else to share unless you specify your inquiries."

You: "Understood. While the knowledge of lightning magic is intriguing, is there anything else you can show me?"

Kore: "Regarding magic and this world, I have exhausted my current repertoire. We could venture forth and explore the surroundings if you wish. Alternatively, I can guide you to the next world. The options include an apocalyptic realm or one that closely resembles your own."

The prospect of embarking on a new adventure, whether within the boundaries of the current world or transitioning to a different one, beckons before you. The choice lies in your hands, poised to shape the path of your journey.
