>You presume a kind that puts one to sleep. Beyond that, magic is a terribly complex subject and your studies have made you increasingly aware that there's numerous systems of magic that seem to contradict each other but manage to work, and maybe ways to achieve similar effects.

> What options are at our disposal?

>That depends largely on what you want to try to achieve. You can examine the unseen nature of things, as you did with the tree and with Meira. You can try to meditate, and there may be other things you can do. It comes down to how you try to use you abilities to achieve a specific end.
