Mages: Everything is magic. If you don't think this it is because you haven't honed your perception enough to observe the action of power interacting with the world. I may not know how to detect it yet, but I will.

She's willing to learn about established doctrines because they are instructive, but people are distracted by all of these stories. And notice how anthropocentric they are all are. Beware language. Control language and you stories and you control minds.

Sorcerers: Sorcerers are mages, right?
Fera: Wolf birds! Not just wolves.
Vampires: holy fucking shit. you mean to say vampires are real? no kidding? that's kind of terrifying. Note to self, avoid vampires because they will probably rip your face off.
Fae: Do they like crows? I like Matthew in Sandman.
People: Office hours in the Hall of Science and the outdoors. Help them grow or leave them alone? Why not ask them what they want. Guard their borders.
The City: meet it and call it hello. it's an insular hagiogeography.[1][2]
Nature: I love nature, but have you ever been bitten by it? Wet boots are pretty nasty too. Sometimes offices and dry clothes are really great.
