(OOC) Christmas Giftpost
I KNOW I AM FORGETTING PEOPLE. PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. NOW POSTING FROM THE FUTURE so people will see.
Morrolan:
Morrolan will try to give these in person.
Teito gets a copy of The Sorcerer's Art and the Healing of the Self, an introductory textbook on Imperial sorcery. It's annotated with notes on the principles and exercises involved, and which are likely to be useful. A note in the frontispiece says "I found this text to be useful when I was first learning the art, and though you are advanced in your studies I hope you will find the same. --M"
Hakuren gets a silver bracelet in the shape of a sinuous dragon, wings folded; the eyes are the black stone called Verra's Tears, the same as Blackwand's pommel, and it bears a powerful defensive enchantment. The attached note says "In hopes that it will provide some protection, and remind you of my regard. --M"
Mikage gets a long dagger, enchanted specifically to be a focus for psychic energy; a common witch's tool. A note is attached reading "One hopes that this will prove useful, and compatible with zaiphon; you must tell me whether it works. --M"
Burupya gets a new chew toy. It may bear a slight resemblance to a certain Chief of Staff, but surely that's coincidence.
Castor gets several thick books which Morrolan thinks he might find interesting and useful; one of them deals with the Paths of the Dead and the Halls of Judgement, one is a discussion of Elder Sorcery, et cetera. All are heavily annotated.
Vlad gets a good supply of all the herbs and supplies useful for a witch -- various colors of candles, a small brazier, some crystals, et cetera. The note attached reads "In hopes you find them useful --M"
Genis gets the same book as Teito (The Sorcerer's Art and the Healing of the Self), with the note "I can't say how much of it will apply to your method of using magic, but I found it useful when I was learning. --M"
Raine gets a copy of Overview of the Architecture of the Old Imperial Palace, with a note inscribed: "In the hope that you will find it interesting. --M"
Lloyd gets a silver bracelet in the shape of a sinuous dragon, wings folded; the eyes are the black stone called Verra's Tears, the same as Blackwand's pommel; it's enchanted to provide some extra defense against magic at need.
Jaina gets a large and technical work on witchcraft; there are explanatory notes and comments inscribed.
Raikou gets a slim dagger in a spring-loaded sheath, lightly enchanted; the note attached reads "Because one can never have too many surprises. --M"
Yamamoto gets a set of flash-stones (essentially one-shot attack-spells), and a note reading "I should enjoy sparring with you again, at your convenience. --M."
Gokudera gets a similar array, but his are more varied; some paralyze and are harder to stop, some use different energy forms. The note reads "In hopes you will find them useful. I shall recharge them on request. --M"
Itachi gets something, but I'm not sure what yet.
Ivy:
Rabi gets several texts from Greece and Imperial Rome which have been lost to history -- mostly plays, but some commentaries. They're obviously hand-transcribed.
Molly gets a hug, because Ivy has no idea what she could want. This entry may change.
Stiaan:
None of these have notes.
Mikah gets something TBD.
Kastor gets several books Stiaan thinks he might like; old stories, mostly.
Edward gets makeouts a necklace of alternating silver and steel links, set with a sapphire. And makeouts. The necklace is enchanted for protection (+defense and +magic defense)
Capell gets a small, clear crystal that plays music if you touch certain facets; a different song for each facet. The music is written for a solo instrument.
