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.

okay
have you considered carrying heat packs around to help keep you from brumating? it might be worth trying it out at least

maybe but i'm not sure how helpful i'll be
at least in figuring out how the arcana are supposed to help with the whole bonds and connection thing
unless we're all supposed to act in line with them how will fortune telling tools help us out?

In a protracted battle, they would lose their heat rather quickly, I think. I may just try during the next mission I undertake, but I prefer a more solid solution that will last for the foreseeable future.

In any case, come shopping with me if you're interested. Or perhaps help me brainstorm how to summon Braphine.
