A noncommittal sound is all he gets for that reassurance; better than arguing the point, not as good as conceding it. She lets it pass, regardless, because the matter of her work is (as ever) more interesting discussion than the matter of her motives—

“I must reinvent the wheel,” she says, wryly. “I plan to, I suppose, create an entirely new methodology. A sort of halfway point between magic as was, and magic as is—in Sulleciel will alone would serve, but its apparent that Thedas resists such...exertions. Mm. It is fascinating to me that the enchanting of objects here is done not by mages, when to do so would necessarily define one that way in Sulleciel, but that is a matter of curiosity rather than practical concern. Beyond dictating with whom I will be obliged to study, of course—lasting enchantments exist here. I will simply have to find a way to add mine.”

'Simply'. She almost wishes for Marius; how he would take to such a challenge. But he isn't here, and she refuses to consider herself less than equal to the task.

He nods along as she talks, a flicker of a smile at the opening.

"I've wondered along a not-too-dissimilar trail of thought before. There's a world of mages where they can do any number of practical things with magic, cook food, bring things to their hands, clean things, repair nearly anything, and I wish I'd some idea of how to replicate it with our magic. But there's no precedent here for most of what they can do, unfortunately."

Anders shakes his head and leans back in his chair, glancing around before he puts his feet up on another.

"If I'm to be honest, I'd recommend speaking with Dwarves about it too. The Tranquil will have some idea of what you're looking for with magic, but the root of their creativity and inventiveness has been torn away from them. You may need both when it comes to bringing your wheel to our wagon."

That, and Dwarves that enchant generally do so because they wanted to all along. Making the Tranquil work doesn't feel all that far from slavery sometimes, despite how they all seem amenable to it.
