Surraruthru's Tree (Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

The River Oceanus is a river that flows through all the Heavens. Compare and contrast the River Styx. It's clean, free flowing and its waters are extremely refreshing. Unlike the Styx, it doesn't cause memory loss. In fact, the river's a good liquid base to use for healing potions.

"I can see if it can be arranged. I don't think it'll be an issue, but I think we should let the locals know first."

[Anastasia]

"It should be fine. There's vast stretches to in Elysium and no one will mind, as long as we don't get up to evil or trouble," Kascha says.

[Iron Dragoon]

"There we go. We'll find time. Anything else?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, how'd you transform? Can anyone become a dragon?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Perhaps. I did it and so did Seira. Balruk changed into a prismatic. I believe the way to do so is different for everyone. I used the heart of another dragon."

[Anastasia]

"I wanna be a a dragon!" About half a dozen hydras speak up about that, "Dragons are powerful, like you!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well. Tell you what, I'll ask Seira about that. That's a little beyond me for this many."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, yes," Kascha says quickly, "We'll talk to Seira, since it's not done lightly."

"Wait," One pipes up, "Can you turn a girl hydra into a boy hydra? If you can change into a dragon, can you change that, too?"

"Well, yes," Kascha says with a little shrug, "Magic can change virtually anything, if you know the right spell and have enough power and skill to cast it."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Be careful about that. Too much magic for different things can be bad. The magics can fight each others."

[Anastasia]

Pauses to consider that, "Then how do you layer so much magic on you in battle?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Through study. I've learned about magic in significant depth. It lets me know what I can later together and what I can't. It's part of why transformations like I went through are hard to figure out."

Edit: As an aside, I noticed that the Cryohydra morale is 55/100. How do I improve this?

[Anastasia]

Morale is improved by good things happening, some upgrades and time. I'm due to make a morale adjustment so this may be rising anyway.

"Battle magic is about finding complementary spells that don't overlap one another," Kascha says, "For example, the spells bull's strength and animalistic power somewhat overlap, so using them together is not as effective as it could be."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"This is where study comes into play. Even though a dragon's magic is innate, we still have to learn about the magic to make sure it doesn't conflict or is wasted by overlapping. Kascha's a very good teacher about this. She's studied quite diligently. If you ask me, all of you should bug her to teach you about magic, if not magic itself. Knowing about magic will help you learn what to expect if you ever have to fight it."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, it takes a wizard to stop a wizard many times, but knowing what you can helps you deal better. It can save your life," Kascha says, "Or against creatures who have natural magic, like most spirits. Surraruthru, how has that helped you?"
