Walking down the stretch of grass to the cluster of wagons he can see in the distance, Inric muses on the text he read when researching Ivorys. "Ivorys is a particularly low-flux world, but nonetheless a form of magic is practiced by the autochthonous peoples. They claim the use of hallucinogenic plants allows their practitioners to guide them in seeing the future and making decisions. It is highly likely that most practitioners are charlatans, but not impossible that in some cases this is a genuine forecasting enabled by the hallucinogen. However, that is the extent of the form and flow of magic on Ivorys, and it is unlikely that any more refined practices will be developed without external guidance." "No autochthonous magic," he says mostly to himself, although Copper looks up at him as if in response. "So if the book is in the caravan, it should be obvious." But there's an obvious flaw there. "There was no mention of a second people group. What else is missing?"
