I've had enough! What point is there in my never-ending research if you never use it?

I do use it.

Ha! What use is a spell that's never cast? I know that you've left every scrap of your work to rot somewhere. Did you think you could hide my own magic from me?

No, Mordecai, of course not. Just... it's dangerous, is it not?

Oh, is this more fluff about your "bardic condition"? If only you would let me study it, I could find you a cure-

NO! No, no, no. Th-that is quite alright. I'd much prefer if you left it alone.

Mortaki . . .you've said this could kill you.

And what a proper death it would be. I could not bear to live without my Muse. No, it would barely be living at all.
