“Or rather, I did once, after you got me drunk on Red Dragon. Luckily for me, you’ve lost your memory. What’s your last question, Lith?”

“I’m a bit worried about Elysia.” He replied. “She has learned the basic runes for all the Cursed Elements but light and earth, the elements of creation. Does it have something to do with her natural affinities, or do you think Decay and Corruption scare even her?”

“You are overthinking like usual, child.” The Crone smiled. “Elysia is a healthy baby who enjoys the protection of the Guardians. How many times has she heard the magic words for a healing spell?”

“None.” Lith pondered. “We either use Invigoration or conjure healing spells with true magic.”

“Also, Elysia spends most of her time indoors or in the air with her friends. Do you think she had many opportunities to witness someone conjure earth magic?” Baba Yaga asked.

“I see.” Lith nodded. “She learned the chore magic Cursed Runes for the elements we use to perform house chores. Darkness to disinfect, fire to light the fireplace, and so on.”

“Exactly. Use earth and light magic in front of Elysia, and she’ll learn their Cursed counterparts in a jiffy.” The Crone said.
