Arcanas, Personas, and elements. All quite interesting, isn't it? According to the forecast app, I am a Hanged Man, though such a term means nothing to me, outside of it seeming quite ominous.

What I am truly most interested in are the magical elements given to us. I did speak to our dear RA about such things, but it seems Braphine didn't gift her with much knowledge, merely that these were a potential power within each of us. However, I do find it a little odd that there was "potential" for ice-element magic within me, given who and what I am.

[Anyone who has seen Shalem in action would know that he just... flops over like a dead fish in the cold. Or tries very, very hard not to. It's as if Shalem is just forever doomed to fucking himself up, no matter what Arts he uses.]

I have half a mind to ask Braphine herself for more information, perhaps even attempt to plead her into fixing this as it's become a problem. However, I'm well aware that the key to summoning her lies in a connection with other people. Consider this a request from assistance from your local serpent.

No, I don’t have any complaints.

But I do want to know what made them choose that.

[prozaic]

It was something dormant within you, according to our RA. But you are right, if you have a lot of potential within you, there should be a rhyme or reason to her choosing that in particular.

[emptyself]

I wonder if it's based on something that we lack.

[prozaic]

To properly prove that idea, we have to understand the meanings of each individual arcana, and also the individual themself. For example, you and the Emperor card.

[emptyself]

Well, I'm not really sure what the Emperor could mean, but those are rulers right? Like Prime Ministers or kings?

I definitely don't feel like either thing.

[prozaic]

We shall have to see. Perhaps Braphine will deign to tell me, and I'll relay my findings to you.

[emptyself]

Oh. Thank you, I'd appreciate that.
