Certainly. Not always but it is common enough. We are not able to produce mana as other living beings can so we must have a mage to aid us in the effort. Otherwise matters could grow worse. We could fade away or we could grow mad and steal what we need from those around us.
[He waves his hand after that.] Ah but I find I would prefer to fade away myself. It is unnecessary to bring such harm to the innocent like that.
I would not mind. Though I will tell you that I am somewhat resistant to magic. So if that will change how you use it then I feel you should be aware of the fact.
[His magic resistance isn't the strongest in the world but it can throw some off if they're not expecting it. He feels he should at least warn the mage first should he need to use more as a result of the fact.]
[Anders nods, leaning forward and sending careful threads of creation magic into Iskandar. What he finds... isn't what he was expecting, but at the same time he's not sure of what he was expecting. After a few moments he drops his hand down.]
You're not human. You may look it, but you're not...
[He pauses to try to find the right words.]
You feel alive and not at the same time. I've no idea how that's possible. Have you been injured at all while you've been here?
[He shakes his head. Iskandar is not Mercy or Compassion or anything like that. Boisterousness, maybe, which isn't really a spirit.]
You're not the usual spirit, either. As far as I can tell. I've tended to a spirit in a corpse before, but that wasn't healing so much as it was reattaching and closing things. I'm trying to get a physical gauge of you so I've some sort of answer to what questions you might have, but I don't have any answers yet.
Mm. I see. Perhaps you would like to see a few of the things that I can do? You might be able to determine something that way. I could share what the ability typically does in my world as well.
A number of things. In my world I could do things like summon a chariot pulled by bulls that could ride anywhere and could slam powerfully into others. I could also create a bubble of another reality where my army would wait to battle those I brought into that bubble. Of course I could also go into a spirit form where only the mage who summoned me would sense me and hear me. With that I could transport myself anywhere in the blink of an eye. Naturally these all seem to have altered here. I'm not certain about others like my immunity to things like disease and temperature.

[Sex magic. For a moment Anders ponders what school that would fall under before dismissing the thought. It's not relevant.]
Would you mind if I sent Creation magic into you, and tried to see what I could sense from that?

[As for injury...]
I've not been injured once though. Perhaps I simply have not faced a situation that would lead to such things.

All right, yes. What can you do?
