Ilia liked the sound of that! A type of 'magic' that was already understood as a science on the planet of its origin. It made her all the more certain that Heraldry could be just as easily explained if only the ones who used it on Roak were just a bit more technologically advanced. She wished she'd had more time to study it before now. That research had to stay put on the back burner until the mess with Asmodeus was cleared up. And until she could get back to that, she needed to get out of this institute.

But while they were on the subject... "So, what exactly are fonons? Can you explain the physics behind using them?" It might have been too much to expect a fourteen year old to understand every little intricacy behind fonic artes, but it was worth asking.

"I guess some might think it sounds better that way," Ilia chuckled, though that certainly wasn't her own opinion. There was something incredibly satisfying in having the ability to explain the wonders of nature while fully understanding your subject. Maybe that was just the scientist in her, but writing something off as 'unexplainable' was dull and felt lazy. "Personally, I don't believe in magic. I'd rather have at least a probable theory than get left in the dark without a clue."
