Page #10: "Mother's Arcanima"
Dear diary, I've been thinking about mother. She was a keen geometry expert, did you know? Of course you did, I told you pages ago. But I loved hearing her speak. Especially on subjects of the body's aetheric energies in relation to its magical and biological flow. Oftentimes I would steal away a moment in the day to read some of her many books on the arcane patterns of natural phenomena found through mathematical observations. It always fascinated me how spells could be dissected, studied and re-woven like Nymeia herself fashioning new effects on the very fabrics of reality. As a student first of arcanima, I was lucky to have gained a strong understanding of the aether and it effects the Twelveswood and its Elementals. At times, I even see the geometric patterns in conjury before I remember to feel it instead. Maybe someday I can achieve what my mother has, and blend both forms of magic into one, perhaps even something new.
My mother's spellbook contained all of her designs, spellcrafting calculations as well as field stratagems, not least aether-geometric machinations, both basic and complex. 'Twas in her passing that I did inherit the grimoire and learnt all it contains. I wonder how much the boy Mikel has learnt from mother's spellbook, since the day I lent it. Perhaps I should seek him out. What do you think dear diary, shall I cast the invocation and re-summon mother's book of spells? It would draw him to me like bees to a sunflower, ha! Dear me, Lucy, what are you doing?
