>"No, I have not... But I do recall reading of a spell that can split a soul, and it might-" she coughs "-be of use... Unfortunately, the book that contained that information was stolen by the black-white a few years ago. Besides, it's not like I'd be able to cast many spells or rituals today anyway in my current state of health."

>"I'd need to take another look at it, but if I recall correctly, once the soul was split, one half could then either be consumed for use in a more powerful ritual or transferred into a vessel."

>"Would you be able to tell us about the process of a human becoming a magician youkai ?"

>"Oh? Well that would be relatively simple. Once a human magician masters a spell that can take away their dependence on food for survival, they immediately transition into a youkai. However, a youkai magician isn't considered 'complete' until they manage to halt their own aging with magic."

>"Not necessarily. De-" Patchouli coughs," - Pardon me, - Depending on the magician's potential, whether or not they have a tutor, and how hard they work, they could remove their dependence on food within two years, and halt their aging within five. Of course, if one rushes things, they won't really be a good magician..."

//Welp, guess we've got a bit of trouble ahead of us. What with having to decide on staying human or going youkai probably soon while Renko still has to go through magician college successfully to become one. Not to mention everyone who voted on staying in Gensokyo mysteriously vanished aside from Raf... Didn't really want this approach, so I'll let you guys pilot.

How long did Yukari say it would take for us to turn into a youkai again?

Neovereign · « **Reply #375 on:** September 23, 2016, 04:51:24 AM »

//IIRC Yukari said our abilities would grow in a few years, but we've gone past her expectations a lot before. I expect her to be worried about it happening in a day maybe, since she was cautious about us being in here for a day the first times we met her, as well as her wanting to monitor our growth. The latter supports the thought that she's unsure of how fast we might be able to grow.

Okay, how about we try to finish all (or most) of the things we have on our quest log today and then we can leave gensokyo? I don't think anyone wanted to stay permanently in gensokyo, just long enough to tie up some lose ends.

>"I'm - *cough* - fine... Koakuma... *ahem*" Patchouli recovers, "Anyway... If it's like all the other books she's stolen, your chances of coaxing her to give it up are slim..."
