//Maybe we should cut back with the tasks? Making someone do something when they just agreed to do that or will probably do that anyway sounds pretty wasteful energy-wise...
>Consider tasking some of our dolls to search the forest for these Glamor Mushrooms. Is it possible, what is the distance they can cover, how much magic that would require of us, is there any danger of, say, dolls getting intercepted by fairies, etc.?

The implication earlier was that issuing tasks while strings are attached cost us next-to-nothing in regards to personal resources. (If the strings were no longer attached, then I wouldn't be doing this.) I suppose it is possible I misinterpreted what was said earlier, though.

> Make Marisa retrieve the mushrooms with the care necessary to not damage them.
> "We could try the latter here and now." Marisa says.
> You make Marisa retrieve the mushrooms, and she heads nearby, where there seem to be another pair of them.
> She delicately harvests the two. Aside from the one she's eaten recently, you believe that's 4 she possesses now.

> You consider having your dolls hunt for these mushrooms. At this range, you could probably task them with doing so from your house. It shouldn't be hard to do so from Marisa's house though. It'd take less magic than a battle, but they might run out during their hunts, unless you have them return after a while. Interception from fairies could be expected anywhere, but your dolls have the advantage of numbers. You could probably have a hunting squad and a defending one along with it.

> Clarification request: Does making Marisa do things through strings cost us any of our magical resources? If so, how much?
> "Yes, since you have acquired some more, I think it is safe to see if eating a second one causes further changes."
> When you send magic into your dolls, you're giving them some to perform tasks until it's depleted. When using strings, the strings have the magic from you, giving you control of the doll directly, and still being able to send some into the doll to task it as well. Having strings attached for a while isn't recommended unless you're controlling them. For having them act on their own, sending magic in for tasks would be better.
> Yes, it costs your resources. Both do. Direct through strings costs less than tasks, as it's actively being used, rather than dumping some for a period.

> Marisa nods, eating one of the mushrooms.
> She doesn't flash, and it doesn't seem like she's changing any...
