[ of fucking course those were the ones they mentioned. i know what you are, war.
anyway shes asked exactly the wrong thing if she didnt want a nerdass explanation she will will never remember im sorry sweet karlach]
Ah, yes, most likely. Perhaps not as common on the field of battle as evocation or transmutation, but I think it’s rather underestimated. Illusion is the study of creating something from nothing; to perform it one must understand not simply how to rip the threads of the Weave apart to reach into the Plane of Fire, but to convince all the senses of somethings true nature. After all, what is reality but what your body believes to be real? If an illusion of a dragon is so powerful as to breath real ice and crush buildings beneath its feet, is it not real?
[THE GONDIANS CAN EXPLODE that's what they get for running away from an enemy, getting opportunity attacked three times, only to misty step back to their original spot and critically miss on their attack roll]
Fireball's fun. Can you do the thing where you don't hit us with it? Not that it matters here, I guess.
[she watches him for a second, and as she does a little squiggle of a tattoo runs across her jaw: won't be able to save him. she does not realize.]
I think the rather simple solution to this is you do not stand where I am directing my spellcraft, and it will work as splendidly as any spellshape.
[ or you can just facetank it its fine
his eyes do flick to that and he frowns a little, before the smile is back just as quickly. maybe its a bit selfcentered to assume it is about HIM and not another other number of hims. but he is standing here. ]
Well, either way, we cannot be that different. Simulacrums, basically.
[ he sees the tail swish, but it's a bit frustrating when he's actually not very good at interpreting the subtleties of other's behaviors at times. he be both surprisingly astute and wildly dense and this one is a real conundrum to him. ]
I do not wish to be dead, Karlach. I think you should understand that. But there is an argument to be made that perhaps the world is better for it. I know you won't like or accept it, but it is a reasonable position when viewed from several large steps back.
Then I am going to be seeking my match, so to speak. The wish has become something of a necessity. I know you are quite friendly with people here, and they might be inclined to tell you their information.
[her tail swings back and forth in agitation, but.]
... Astarion already asked me to do it for him, too. So fine. [she doesn't like it, and you can bet that if they find their matches because of her and die, she's going to have a complex about it. but it isn't her decision to make.] Tell me what your ability does? I don't always get the name of whatever it is.

[i promise she will forget all of these immediately.]
Evocation, divination, transmutation! Those were the ones they mentioned. [...] Illusion, huh. That's a funny difference.

... I was just saying the Gale from whatever timeline I'm from was more of an Evocation fireball guy, but okay.
[she is very amused by this.]
no subject
I won’t argue I do enjoy a well-placed fireball. Especially when we are dealing with hordes of Shadowcursed corpses.
[ they are probably the same its just universally true the spellshape is the most helpful in game bonus so you dont incinerate gondians ]

no, he's right. she's got a lot of hangups about this.]
Yeah, you're right. I'm not any different from any other Karlach, I think. You're still my Gale, doesn't matter what happens.

[he is correct she is not going to like it and also, will not argue]
The world is not better with you gone. Don't say that again.

I simply do not want you to feel too heavy a responsibility for me, when it is clear you have already done your diligence in that regard.
no subject
Clearly I didn't do it good enough in all the times, so I'm making up for it now.
