[All right, he's had several days to figure out how to use this "phone" thing. Time to finally try it out.]

Forgive a new arrival for asking a question that has probably been asked many times in the past, but your advice would be appreciated.

What must I learn in order to become a capable shinki? Where should I begin?

Like a book about magic or are we talking wizards?

[misterfrumpyface]

Mages. It's a spellbook. Thunder, to be specific.

Are you truly unfamiliar with tomes?

[He knows they have no memories... but come on, that's like not knowing what a sword is.]

[latentforlife]

[Very much so. If only he knew it was because he came from a time where almost everything is digital.]

Yeah, I have to tell you I don't have a clue what you're talking about. So that's like magic right?

[misterfrumpyface]

[...Okay, that answers that.]

It is magic. It channels the power of lightning for use as a means of attack.

[Considering his actual experience with magic, even counting forgotten experiences, are all from here. So he's a bit slow on the upkeep.]

So you electrocute people with magic?

[Okay, that's something at least he knows tech can do. Or he's pretty sure.]

[misterfrumpyface]

[You have no idea how hard it is for him to restrain himself from going into detail about the intricacies of chants and spirits and whatnot. It probably wouldn't be much help.]

It's much more complex than that, but essentially, yes.

[latentforlife]

Got it. Complex magic.
