Sidereology? Teratology? Another language? Aurora's pursuits and accomplishments are a balm.
"Another language and you don't mention linguistics as your exoteric studies. Is it ... how many languages now, Aurora? I swear, I live for the day that Aurora in a random meeting will answer someone saying how hard it was to progress in their mastery with 'I found double mastery challenging, but becoming an archmaster was much more difficult. Anyone wants more tea?' It is not boasting to mention your achievements once a while, Aurora, to an order that values knowledge. " he says with a chuckle.
Chambers mentions interesting avenues to explore especially for someone interested in Sidereology. "Finding a hallow that strong should require us to also have means to guard it. And with just three Mystagogues, I don't see that as easy. Everything we can do, other mages can do. Such a hallow would be coveted by Pentacle mages; we won't have to deal with Seers and scelesti. Perhaps making a Demense would be easier. " At the cost of part of your being being outside your soul and into the fallen world.
"Oh, and that reminds me. The Sancta Trinitas were after a scelestus those years ago. They may have succeeded or failed, but not so long ago there were active scelesti in Sacramento, if we believe these Bible-thumbing apostates. " That is not a small 'if'. They were seeing evil everywhere.
Chambers mentioned talking to ghosts from Atlantis, "I don't think it is as easy. We would probably need an atlantean artifact for such a connection. We could borrow one from the order with enough Guanxi, but it is indeed a long road. As for the offer to make a gate, we thought of that. Once we have a disciple of death we can discuss about it to find a fair exchange. Seeking the Anima, you could do what I did: Go to San Francisco. If you have not been there, they are much more prompt and proper than our laid back group. We have some Guanxi with them and they have included my papers in their Athenaum. Of course, if you have different preferences for any reason, go with that. I just offered a suggestion. "
Corn reaches out and takes the key from Chambers' hand. "Wait, how will you get in till I get this back to you? " he says. "Well, I will duplicate it with matter. Does anyone object if I cast a spell here to save us time? " He doesn't expect anyone to object, but he doesn't know if Chambers is jumpy around things like that.
