sixth spell (text: missing friend)

(Harry is trying to hold back tears as he finds himself sending out a post on the network about the most devastating departure of a friend to date. This is coming in after Hermione’s disappearance which has left him with 4 Pokémon of hers to look after and raise now and him feeling rather heartbroken.)

Hermione Granger is now gone from this world. I just went to her room a while ago only to find it mostly empty. She is one of the best people I have ever known in my world and one of my best friends; it is going to be hard not to have her around everyday. Also she has left some Pokémon for some to look after and I happen to have 4 to take care in her absence. I am very sorry if this happened so soon.

If you have met her at some point and/or have been friends with her for a long while, she has also left some Pokémon for you as well. Hopefully she is going to be alright at home.

(OOC: So Hermione has sadly left this world and Harry as her best friend has been totally devastated by her disappearance. There is also a list of Pokémon she has passed onto a couple of people so far, Harry included. Please excuse him while he is about to cry his eyes out over a friend leaving this world (for now).)

What kind of magic did you have in your world? Amaterasu was capable of a great many things but primarily fire was my element but that makes sense when you think about it because Aamaterasu is the sun!

The one that uses wands for the most part, although we do have magic that doesn’t require one to use it but almost everyone in my world had it out of connivence. You know, the typical image of wizards that most people would have.

Oh wow! You have fire magic and are the living embodiment of the sun? This is pretty neat. I never got to meet that many people who have powers over the elements before.

Amatearsu is not used to having wands for magic. Everyone that I know tends to just use their hands to cast magic. Amaterasu really misses it but there's nothing to be done about it, really. What I miss the most is flying! Amatearsu really doesn't like having to use my legs so much, it's so tiring!

Yes! Amatearsu is the sun and my sister, Tsukuyomi, is the moon! We are the kami from Yamato that makes sure there is balance! But also, Amatearsu just likes to be there for my people. It's what every good kami should do. Can you use elemental magics?

Whoa! I didn’t know that it is possible to cast magic without the use of wands in other worlds. In my world it was said that wandless magic was very hard to use without practice and emotional control. Oh same with me too. I really miss being able to fly though the way I do it is mostly with a broom.

(Harry is trying to feel very jealous of Amaterasu and her peers being able to use magic freely without wands. He must have begun to wonder what it is like to cast magic sans wands.)

Kami? That must be a very impressive role to have in maintaining order in your world. I never thought that I could meet one myself until now. As for elemental magic, I do know of some spells that produce fire and water but that’s just all I can think of on the top of my head.

Amaterasu doesn't know anyone that uses wands. I bet they are interesting tools for magic though! It is easy for me but I suppose that is because it was never taught to me any other way than using my hands. I bet if you practice enough, you would be wonderful at casting without your wand. Oh! A broom! Amaterasu has heard of that before! Mostly at Halloween though... Amaterasu just flies without aids.

( sorry! she didn't mean to upset him. )

Kami is "God" or "Aesir," but Amaterasu hates those terms. I prefer Kami! Kami is the best. ( ~~even if hel says otherwise.~~ ) Amaterasu has never met a wand user before and I think that's very impressive! It must take so much concentration to make something beautiful-- such as fire-- ( biased much... ) --with something as fascinating as a wand!

That’s really good to hear. Maybe I will try to practise how to cast magic without a wand someday if I’m not busy with dealing with trainer stuff.

(He didn’t got too embarrassed when she said something about the brooms.)

Yeah it does take a lot of practise and time to learn each spell and how to use wand gestures, as well as ensuring that things will try to work as intended. But once you’re able to get the hang of it, the results will be brilliant. Although there is also such a thing as needing a wand to be matched up with a potential user in my world.

Can you use wand magic here? Amaterasu would be thrilled to see it if you can-- and be envious!

( that's good! she wasn't trying to be silly about it after all -- even though she mentioned it only being at halloween. )

That sounds like it means that your skills with a wand are very good with how many you must know! What kind of matching up is important?

I wish that I could show it to you and I do have my wand with me too but I can’t use my own magic in this world either, I haven’t used it in months. I’m very sorry that it is not possible right now.

(Having no access to magic is kinda sad for someone who used magic so much at home, but there is no point of moping over that.)

An old gentleman from my world once said that a wand chooses its owner, it can’t be the other way around. The wands in my world have some sentience and they can be picky of who they want to be paired with when someone goes to get one for the first time. I had to go through two failed wand matches before I got the one I still keep to this day.

Ah, that is okay. Amaterasu thought as much but it never hurts to ask. It's a shame! Amaterasu would have really enjoyed seeing a new form of magic. Maybe one day though you could show me your wand? They sound fascinating!

( very true on both counts! )

Oh wow! That's even more excellent! Amaterasu didn't realize that. I wonder if that's the same way for other worlds where people need to use wands, too? The differences in worlds here is really very amazing.

Yeah it is sad that none of us can use magic freely in this world and I would have also enjoyed seeing how your magic works too. But I wouldn’t mind showing my wand to you someday, Amaterasu. At least learning about different magics from different world does make up for it, I guess.

I also think of the same thing as well. Back then didn’t know that there are so many different worlds out there until I came here and yet I honestly find learning about each world just as fascinating too. Maybe it is possible that some worlds might have a similar things with their wands like mine while others don’t.

It is a shame but at least we can openly discuss it! I have a habit of forgetting, sometimes, that Midgardians have a hard time accepting magic. Amaterasu is so glad to have met someone else that knows what it's like to be without it. It is sad but at least Amaterasu is no longer feeling so lonely about it.

( kindred perhaps? )

Amaterasu has been enjoying hearing about the other worlds, too. It's fascinating! But your world especially sounds nice to Amaterasu because of all the magic. Have you found other places from word of mouth that are akin to yours?

Glad to hear that as well, Amaterasu. I’m quite relieved to know that there are some magic users out there in this world as well even if the locals here don’t use it.

I think that I have a friend who happens to have magic as well although it functions in her world is a lot different of how magic works in our worlds. Apparently her family are the only ones who have it in there. I haven’t visited to any other worlds with magic just yet but I do hope that there is a chance for all of us to visit each other’s worlds.

Wow, they're the only ones? Amaterasu isn't sure if that's being stingy or just really fun to be able to do magical things to show other people! Maybe one day we'll get to go to places that have magic. They all sound interesting -- and it would be wise to get information on the other worlds with magic to see if there's anything that can be learned somehow!

(The Pokémon are still playing around while their Trainers continue to chat away. Harry begins to notice that the sadness and moping he had from losing Hermione have subsided drastically. He may have lost a dear friend from home but he does gain a new friend in return.)

You know, Amaterasu. You might be onto something: maybe one of us might consider posting on the network asking people from magical worlds about what it is like having magic and everyone could share any insights on magic we have. To share differences and similarities our respective magics and learn about them too.

( her pokemon are absolutely still playing around with their new friends in delight while amaterasu's attention is on the young man she's making friends with! )

Oh! That is such a good idea. Learning from others would be interesting and even if we can't learn anything, just knowing how their fields of magic work would be like sharing something personal and getting to know someone much better. Amaterasu likes your thinking style, Harry!

Oh gee thanks. I didn’t know that the whole network post idea would be a good idea until now. I mean, it is always a good idea for everyone to share what they know in their world while getting to know each other more in the process.

(That is that hidden Slytherin side of him at work even if he doesn’t want to admit it out loud publicly. He just thought it would serve as a great ice breaker for everyone who’re all stranded in this world and a great learning resource too.)

Yes! It seems like a good idea to Amaterasu, at least. It would be a nice way for a group of people to come together and discuss something they might not otherwise... Maybe it won't attract attention, but! You never know.

( it does serve as a pretty interesting ice breaker if nothing else. )

It certainly does have its perks to put up something like it and everyone shares everything there is to know. I do hope that if ever I am going to do that, maybe some people might have the inkling to join the conversation and share what they know in their worlds and experiences.
