I'm still thinking it over.
From what I've heard, even if I wanted to it might be hard. Most people have settled on it being too dangerous.

For example... there's one teleportation technique that you master by understanding physics.
There's another that you master by clapping.

Why would anyone learn the first one instead of the second?

That doesn't surprise me when we know so little about each other, and the people who gave us the information.
It'd be easier if we knew what the reward is.

Right. The power upgrade is too vague.
I'm surprised people aren't more tempted by the wish part, though.

You don't have a choice. Your technique is specific to you, like how you can't choose your genetics.

Not the same as what the cultists want, but... The ability to change something back home.

So some people just get lucky. Like being born rich.

... That's true. It's why I thought someone here might betray them if given the chance.
But they'd have to be okay with killing the rest of us, I guess.

Pretty much. No matter how hard you train, you'll probably never surpass someone born with a stronger technique.

No one here would be okay with that.

... Really? That's too bad.
But you still have to do whatever you can with what you've got.

[ he looks a little surprised at how firmly she says that, before smiling. ]
Yeah, that's the impression I got too.

[ nods ]
People do come up with really creative uses for their techniques, so there's definitely still value in hard work. Besides, it doesn't matter if you're stronger than other sorcerers, as long as you're stronger than the curses.

We all want out of here, so we'll all work towards that. Strength in numbers.
So even if someone didn't care what happens to the rest of us, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

Yeah, there's a lot of them and only a few of us.
We need all the allies we can get.

Ah- manifestations of negative energy. They take the form of monsters.
You have anything like that?
