Re: On To The Ship!
"These symbols on the aft septagram are unknown to me," he explains to Anneth. "The theory is that any arcane symbol should still work within a septagram. In other words, if you enscribed a fire symbol and a protection symbol, assuming you did it properly, of course, then the septagram should provide protection from fire for anyone and anything within it."
"The reality is that it's harder to create a balance of symbols with 7 points. I've heard of a few wizards who have mastered it, but it still didn't generate the Seventh Magic."
"It just may be that the Seventh Magic requires a whole new set of symbols."
After studying it for a bit, a frown creases his face.
"Is it just me, or are some of these symbols repeated in the forward device? Does anyone have parchment and ink so that we can copy these symbols down?"
Some paper and ink are produced, and he sets about copying the symbols down.
"I'm trying to recall the symbols on the piece I have... I think this is one."
"Okay, let's go check out the front."
Once at the front again, Fando studies the device, comparing symbols.
"See this symbol? I think that's power... magical power. It should be used to imbue the ship with the ability to... float, I guess you'd call it."
"Oh. OH! I can't believe it's that simple!"
He steps over to the device, reaches out and touches one of the points of the septagram. He fiddles with it somehow and then suddenly pulls it out of the septagram!
"Hahahahaha!" he exclaims gleefully and dances a little jig.
"THIS is another piece of the Septagram! I don't know who the wizard is that built this ship, but he was able to complete the symbology!"
"He was able to get this ship to fly using just one piece of the Septagram! Imagine what the whole Septagram is capable of doing!"
