<strong>Sylria</strong>, Beneath an Ancient Oak [Sylria the Elf & Lillian Montague]<br/><br/>"I do not mean to say that their efforts would be useless, but it likely would be, if the one who made the deal was powerful." I tell her, calming down a little, though I shake my head at the thought of the practicing of magic being disrespected.  I continue after a moment. "You must understand, while I respect scholars, there are things that they cannot do, just as there are things that magic cannot.  Magic can wipe away memories permanently, so that there is nothing<em>left</em>for normal methods to recover.  I know that it is possible, but only for the highest tiers of magic, which requires the direct aid of the gods or a reality-warping wish.  I<em>know</em>my art, and am afraid of anything that could potentially strip the power from me so that I was unable to use my own spells that I had written in my own hand in my spellbook."<br/><br/>((Knowledge(Arcana) 1d20+9, 20+9=29))
