Am totally dropping in to say I've enjoyed these two so far and I definitely want to see where they're heading.

Waver reminds him so much of his family that Celegorm will probably become a staple sight at Waver's elbow. /)_(\ Sorry, Lord El-Melloi, you've inherited a younger sibling you probably don't want.

Celegorm can work minor magic, but if it's clear Waver's willing to be an instructor, he would LEAP at the chance to learn more!

[gordianknots]

Waver is going to be a little surprised, but he is also not going to question it. If Celegorm thinks Waver's worth giving respect to, it can only be returned.

Oh yes to instructing, whenever Waver decides to go, "also I'm a mage." I am not too confident with how Tolkein magic works, so I'd definitely want to read up to generate ideas.

[avisionofwar]

He really needs cooling and calming influence from people like Waver; and coming from a big family, he's going to reach out a lot to avoid homesickness. And Waver is certainly

Tolkien magic is very.... very shortly-described; at best you can think of it as an application of will to affect one's self or environment. At this point, Celegorm can do small things related to wilderness survival, but also cast spells which utterly change his appearance, voice, etc.

[gordianknots]

Waver will try to be the best adult then, although he's not used to anything like a big family. The contrast should be interesting.

And okay, that helps. I like to check in with magic across canons since Nasuverse magecraft is both extremely specific and hugely vague, as well as predicated on a genetic component.

[avisionofwar]

That's fascinating! :) I'll do a little research and see if I can find anything analogous!

[gordianknots]

Generally Waver's biggest claim to fame is that he can take talent and train it, even if he's not a powerful spell caster himself, so I'm pretty sure that whatever we do, it'll result in a positive gain.

[avisionofwar]

Holy hell, how is that not frustrating as fuck for him? :(

[gordianknots]

He went from being a low-status mage to a Lord, and pretty much has a ridiculously large group of loyal students that could upset the order of his teaching institution if he wanted it, apparently.

[avisionofwar]

Well! That'll do it! :) Sounds like a story with a happy ending?

[gordianknots]

Canon actually is open ended, we don't have any information beyond that.
