[The screen is black for a long moment, though the speakers seem to be working, passing along the soothing and lovely sound of someone banging their finger against a spot too near the microphone. Finally, though, the camera blooms to life, and give those watching a great look at the massive brown eye being shoved right up against the camera. A young woman’s voice is again too close to the mic]

Honestly, whoever enchanted this thing is a master artist. I can’t even detect a hint of magic around it, and yet it seems to be working just fine. I’m not sure why they made it look like a flat brick and not a proper crystal ball or mirror is beyond me.

[She sighs, pulling back slightly to reveal a young woman with slightly pointed ears and exotic features who looks anywhere between 15 and 23]

Oh wait, right, that would require someone to become a powerful archmage without going so utterly mad that they start running around creating whatever pops into their heads. [She holds it back further and shakes her head.] At least it isn’t an owlbear.

So, am I to take it there are those out there who can hear me?

My sympathies. Perhaps any planes connected to yours lack the magic needed to travel between worlds and cause messes you are forced to clean up. [Because if Bioware proves anything, it's that the protagonists are the only beings capable of getting anything done]

I'd say I can imagine, but I really cannot. [Imagine traveling in space at least, her tone says she understands entirely how it feels to be trapped] If I'm able to devise a magical means to travel the heavens, you will have to give me a tour.

One can only hope at this point, particularly since magic isn't a thing where I'm from. [Science and technology and messed up brain chemistry.] But that doesn't mean that if they're there, nobody won't create a machine to go to them.

I'll be glad to give you one.

[Resigned nod] Life always finds a way to make things more complicated.

And now I find myself with an interesting project. Thank you.
