So... magic. I've heard a lot about it here, and I was wondering... what's magic in everyone else's world like? Dangerous, or common, or... er, not so common? It's a universal word, but it seems to mean a lot of different things.

I was just... curious.

... I think I'm cursed.

Well, not the kind of curse that usually goes on here, but actually cursed. I swear three toasters this week have disappeared! One minute they were in the kitchen, and the next they'd just gone. Either I'm living in a sentient apartment that eats toasters, or I have an... an anti-toaster curse on me. Or maybe the toasters are alive. It's all probably possible, in a place like this.

All I want is toasted bread in the morning! Apparently that is too much to ask for.

What is a toaster?

There is nothing called magic in my world, though the Canim possess sorcery and the Aleran, my race, all have what we call furycrafting and what you might call magic.

It's an... appliance. You put the bread in, push the lever and a couple of minutes later, presto! The bread is toasted. Well, usually. Sometimes it's just burnt. Or on fire.

[Pause.] Furycrafting? So... I guess it's a good thing, then, if everyone has it.
