Scyler took a seat near the fire, his mouth watering a bit at the scent of cooking rabbit that wafted through the air. He was curious as to the specifics of Lilu's plan as well. He'd taken portals with Lilu before, but never to a different plane. The procedure surely had to be different, and much more complicated, knowing even only a little about magic. He looked expectantly at Lilu for a moment, who closed his eyes for a second and collected his thoughts into something more coherent than the abstract tangle of magical knowledge contained in his mind.<br/>"Well..." Lilu began, "my magic works in a bit different way than most people think, as I'm not really a Classical Mage per se, but a Divine Linguist. It's a different type of magic. Classical Magic works by taking the user's mana and shaping it into what they call for. It's totally self contained and easier to use, but more limited to specific spells and they can't use nearly as much magic, since the mana they call on is consumed in the process, and they have to wait for it to regenerate. My magic uses a similar energy to mana, called Vis, but it's not consumed, just shaped. Vis isn't self contained, it's already in the world, in fact we're completely surrounded by the currents of it. There's ninety-seven different types that Divine Linguists know of, but another is occasionally discovered leading to a menagerie of new possible spells. Anyway, to use my magic, I speak the Divina Lingua, a kind of magical language that controls the Vis around and within people. That vis is shaped by the spell I speak, put to its purpose, then is released back into the aura, a sort of invisible magical layer to the world that Soporati, or non-divine linguists, can't really perceive. Basically it just gets recycled into and out of spells forever. We need to find a place that has enough of the right types of Vis to open a portal between dimensions, which I can search for. But we have to get there first, and we need a place with plenty of Itero, Alienis, Praecantatio, Tenebrae, and Permutatio Vis, which will be kind of tricky. I contain enough Paecantatio, Itero, and Tenebrae vis within myself that we shouldn't need much of that, but we need to be in a place with a lot of the others. After we find a place, we need the crystal as a conduit, a rather complicated magic circle, and a flawless incantation to open the portal and keep it stable long enough for us to go through. It's very tricky, and might take a few tries, but when I get the spell right, we're out of here," he finished. He realized once again he'd been blathering on for much longer than needed, and about much more than needed, but he figured they might as well know the full and detailed explanation. After all, they were trusting him to not get them lost in a different world or ripped apart into raw Vis if the spell failed while they were traveling.
