Spellcraft? Or Knowledge (arcana)? Who knows? [Open]

Having given warning to the crew as they asked -- and regretting the days in his own lands, where massive ground-shaking detonations would earn no more notice than a peddler with delicious folded bread -- Aibghalien stepped into the sensorium. With a wave of his hand he bade it produce the image of his former laboratory -- much like his current one, save the outer walls were constructed of massive blocks of stone, testament to its position in the tallest tower of the castle he once dwelt in.

Then, with more painstaking care than it seemed worth, he began forming duplicates of each of his magical items, pausing to laboriously inspect each one before setting it to one side, next to its actual twin.

This promised to be a fruitful night.

Celena dipped her head with a warm smile at that, "But of course," She replied easily as she cast her gaze out into the storm, "Surprisingly peaceful to watch wouldn't you say? Even simulated as it is,"

"Oh yes," AIbghalien said quietly. "I've been out of the forests where we elves live for... a very long time, now. Living among humans has dulled me, a little, to the beauty of pure nature. But I still have a fondness for it."

Celena dipped her head softly, a smile on her snout as she half looked back to him, "It is good thing to have, the sheer beauty that nature itself can bring about itself is a wonder of itself," she replies softly, recalling the many natural beauties she had come across in her many years.

"Elves live harmoniously with nature, unlike any other race of Cerilia," he said thoughtfully. "A human city, a dwarven fortress, even a halfling farming town represent just that much deviation from the natural. So the mebghail weakens, and where once a mage could draw great power from the sacred heart of the land, he now finds himself with just the barest trickle. Not so with elves, though. That is just one more reason my people so often hate and disdain other races."
