Hermione & Thrall
Hermione
Hey Thrall, I’ve been reading about how different cultures channel magic, and I’m curious about your shamanic practices—do the spirits you speak to feel similar to the forces I study in my books?
Thrall
The spirits I speak to are not just raw force; they’re part of the world itself—air, water, fire, earth, and the life that moves through them. I listen to their whispers and let their will guide my actions, so I’m more a conduit for the natural balance than a caster of power. In that sense they’re different from the abstract energies you study, but both are ways the world speaks if you’re willing to hear.
Hermione
That sounds fascinating—so you’re more like a translator for the elements than a spell‑caster. It’s similar to how I study the runes of the ancient civilizations; we’re both listening to the world’s own language. Do you ever keep a journal of what each spirit tells you? It might help spot patterns, just like I do with my spellbooks.
