I have said it before, but you are truly too kind. I can see why you were chosen for the position.
Which reminds me of the other reason I chose to contact you today. I have another query, if you mind not answering.

[dormheads]

oh thank you
you really are sweet.

but i don't mind! ask away

[arcsplainist]

Yesterday, I had noticed I was placed on something called a "dean's list", though I confess I have little idea what it means, or what I could have possibly be done to be on it.
Mayhap you have an explanation? I am quite curious.

[dormheads]

it's a really high honor for students to make
its usually if they did very well in their studies or some kind of field
i know that viola was on it last year
as to why you might be on it.... no clue! maybe something about you impressed the principal?

[arcsplainist]

In only a few days? That makes it all the more baffling.

[dormheads]

hmm
maybe something on your transcript?
honestly, there is no way i will never be on something like the dean's list so i never really paid too much attention to it

[arcsplainist]

If it is based on my prior schooling, then I suppose I could see that. Regardless, how they obtained that information is a mystery to I.
Oh well. If it is something of an honor, then I shall accept it with grace.

[dormheads]

good work!
hopefully others will take u as an example of
whatever it was that you did lol

i suppose i can work hard to make it on there as well

[arcsplainist]

Well, you have naught to lose by trying, correct?

[dormheads]

i guess just disappointment if it doesnt work out

but something something you have to try
is a saying, right?

[sally just skipped most of the saying.]

[arcsplainist]

Generally speaking, it is always worth trying.
Though it may not always work out, surely there is something else you could have gained from the experience.

[dormheads]

like



friends :)

[arcsplainist]

I'll admit I hadn't expected that response, but if that is what fulfills you, then you are correct.

[dormheads]

i hope your surprise isnt a negative one!
but good.
i think so too

[arcsplainist]

No, not at all. I was thinking from a more academic perspective, such as knowledge or experience in a particular field.

[dormheads]

thats fine too
u said that you really like history right?
anything else?

[arcsplainist]

It was one of my focuses back when I was still attending the Studium. There I had also specialized in aetherology, the study of arcane entities, and the magical arts.

[dormheads]

ah

whats an arcane entity?

[arcsplainist]

To put it plainly, they are beings of magical origin.
I can use the example I am most familiar with: carbuncles are entities I oft employ in my own magicks. In short, they are aetherial constructs conjured forth from different types of gemstones.

[dormheads]

[what does this mean. alphi what does this mean.]

oh this is definitely beyond my realm of understanding
so this conjuring thing
is it something anyone can do then?

[arcsplainist]

Indeed it is. Arcanima does require some proficiency in mathematics, but once you understand that, even the most novice of arcanists can summon a carbuncle. How strong their magicks grow from there, however, depends entirely on how much they study and how well they apply that knowledge.

[dormheads]

oh i would probably be awful then
im horrible at maths
i barely scrapped by my classes

[arcsplainist]

I'm sure it isn't so bad, yet there are always other branches of magic for those who prefer to put their talents elsewhere.

[dormheads]

i see
which would be the best one?

[arcsplainist]

That depends. If you desired to learn, what would you want to use magic most for?
