Molly, I'm sorry. The playground designs are going to take longer than I thought. Logistics interfered with the creative process. I'll have them to you as soon as I can.

Sokka. I'm embarrassed that I didn't ask you any useful questions last week, and I'm downright ashamed that I haven't made it to the smithy yet. I need to start making up for these things, and I'm going to do that right now, by asking - what kind of materials and facilities do you have?

I'd - like to learn about magic. Not that I want to learn magic, but I've heard that's possible here, and... I just want to know... what kind of feats can be performed with these elemental abilities?

Also, if anyone here had magic in their own world, and their powers still work in Luceti - I'd like to hear about that too.

Is it possible to set a kind of... time-release spell? One that will do something when it senses danger?

In a way. It'd probably have to be more specific than that, though, and it would depend on exactly what you wanted it to do. Most booby trap skills will go off whenever they are triggered, unless the person triggering it knows how to disarm it. There are some spells you can do that will only trigger upon a certain event, or even, in some cases, a specific person.

It would need to be done very carefully. I'm trying to set up a defensive perimeter for a children's playground, and any system that has a greater than negligible chance of hurting a kid is no good. Do you have any spells that would be safe enough?

[She pauses a moment, thinking.]

You could always draw an Age Line around the area. That lets only people above or below a certain age enter. Of course, you'd have to have one or two adults around who could disable it in case one of the kids got hurt or something...

Right. I'm planning to have adults monitor the playground, and they need to be able to go in and out to help kids, break up fights, maintain equipment... anything like that.

[Time to put her "clever witch" cap on.]

I wonder if it would be possible to modify a barrier-spell to allow in anyone carrying a certain sort of object. Theoretically, each child and the supervising adults would be given one - something smaller and easy to carry around, perhaps a coin. Of course, it's not perfect, there's no way, even with magic, to completely prevent something bad from happening, but with responsible adult supervision to help compensate it could work pretty well.

Don't worry about it, Miss - I found someone else who can make a barrier. Thanks anyway!
