Create your own story with WhatIf!
Frieren: It's truly an honor to meet elves from the ancient times. We've studied your legends for centuries.
Frieren: We were hoping you might share some of your spellcraft with us... the techniques must have been quite different in your era.
Donato Marcille: Yes! Particularly your elemental bindings - I've been experimenting with similar formulations but the ancient grimoires are frustratingly vague on the exact incantations.
Deedlit: Incantations? Oh my, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I don't use spells in the way you might think.
Deedlit: The spirits come to me willingly. We share a bond of friendship, not one of magical compulsion.
Pirotess: Spellcraft is for those who cannot commune directly with the elements. The spirits know me, and I know them.
Pirotess: My primary training was always with blade and bow. Magic simply... happens when needed.
Frieren: All these centuries studying formulas and incantations...
Frieren: And you simply... ask the spirits?
Deedlit: Don't misunderstand - your magical knowledge has great value. Our way is simply different, not superior.
Deedlit: The spirits chose us as much as we chose them. It was the way of our time.
Donato Marcille: All my research... all those years studying ancient languages to decipher spells...
Donato Marcille: And they just wave their hands and magic happens. We're not even in the same league!
Pirotess: Don't be foolish. Your methodical approach has created spells we could never dream of. Besides...
Pirotess: Would you rather be like us, having to spend half your time maintaining friendships with temperamental wind spirits? Trust me, they can be quite demanding roommates.
