I came to you first with this because you seemed the most capable of any of your cohort. No offense meant to them. I can be patient on this matter. As far as I can tell these wands aren't dangerous by themselves.

[He puts his away again, since there's no use in having it out if he's not going to learn how to use it right now.]

I'm not sure that exchange works out evenly, but I'm curious what you want me to know all the same.

[Nanami isn't going to point out that Leona seems to be helping him because he wants to help, that might sour the deal. But he is considering that and how it weighs into his complex mental calculus about Leona.]

[effortaverse]

Don't go gettin' excited yet. All I'm tellin you's enough to buy me some time.

[but he pauses, and then;]

No, you know what? It is rather generous of me, ain't it.

All I'm tellin' ya is this; the core foundation of magic in our world is the imagination. If you can't imagine it, you can't do it. And if you can, well. Depending on how well you do it, you might be able to manifest somethin' good.

That's the point you need to start at. The power of your own imagination.

You're welcome to all the time you need. I belong here... not Heaven, exactly, but I'm not going back to life. At least, unless I can find a way to follow Azul.

[He's very serious about that, like he as about most things.

But then Leona just... helps. Without asking for anything. And Nanami is once again trying to tabulate how he should feel about Leona. It must look a little bit like he's short circuiting from the outside.]

That's fascinating to know. And kind of you to offer like this. I'm even more curious how anyone could teach imagination, though.

[effortaverse]

Tch. Ain't nothin' kind about it.

If anything, i just know it's gonna give that cephalopunk half a headache if I bother teachin' ya.

[he crosses his arms, taking in what Nanami's said about 'not going back to life', but not currently pressing on it.]

And as for teaching imagination... that's a complicated process. It's something you teach yourself, if you've got any sense. What I have for you are the studies of the application of imagination. The skill, the theory.

All the rest is up to you.
