Unless you intend to hit your enemies with your book, I'm not too sure how enhancements would work in this case.
[ Because Sandalphon isn't too privy, he only knows one notion of enchantment? And also a narrow expertise for combat—physical or instinct. However, he does think about how it could be different in Jonas case. Maybe enchanting the book would increase casting speed? Skill potency?
A veteran witch overhears them, then corrects Sandalphon that enchantment isn't always an item, it could be a person. Likewise, it isn't always imbueing something with power, but also having power over a target. As an example, charming a target. Hearing that, Sandalphon wrinkles his nose with a furrowed brow.
No, he doesn't like that.
A dousing rod with a staff though... The veteran mentions they can do that using Divination and it might be easier for them to channel it through an object for now. ]
Do you wish to make an attempt to make an attempt?
[ Jonas would need to cast a spell if they want the rod to detect anything? Sandalphon can work on the divination part. ]
this is so late, i am so sorry... no wi-fi, no life...
Ha ha, (it may sound sarcastic, but he's ultimately amused and already having a good time discussing prospects,) point taken. Maybe like, something that can... make the tome lighter to carry? Or we could enchant it to flip automatically to a page you think of?
There are endless possibilities here, dude. And I'm ready to try 'em all. Let's do this.
(ROLLING UP HIS SLEEVES, even wiggling his fingers as though getting ready to cast some serious, life-changing magic. then remembers that he'll probably need to follow the guide they've been given, peeking at the paper handout before clearing his throat.)
Okay, so it looks like we need to place hands on the staff and work the magic into it. Since it's your staff, you can take care of that part and I can try to cast something on it? (sounds a bit challenging, but he recalls his previous classes and how best to access his magic. through incantations or quotes that've become meaningful to him.) Here goes nothing.
–magelight.
(eyes closed, jonas feels golden, syrupy energy swirl to fill cupped hands. eventually it reaches the bounds of what he can carry, swelling up to form an orb that sheds light on their faces in pretty yellow fractals. a light spell for the darkest of places, not too keen on casting anything harmful.)
