WHO: Anders, Casimir, Colin, Finel, Merrill, Myrobalan WHAT: There's one viable Divine candidate. Time to try to help WHEN: Around now? WHERE: Kirkwall and also whereever the heck Elise is hanging out NOTES: N/A.
"So I think it possible we can all agree on one enemy: dementia." He looks at the mages gathered around the table. All of them have one thing very much in common - the Divine election will have a large impact on their lives. Maybe most won't happen until after Corypheus is dealt with, but as soon as the election happens it will begin.
In Anders' opinion, there's only one option, and as he'd like to not slip back into more violent means healing support is the best he can offer.
"There's not been much research into it, but we've a little." And those are the books and notes on the table, everything anyone's been able to dig up. "Let's see where we can get."
"It's a trick to work out the humours," Colin chimes in, going through what he has written down. "Different parts of the brain are prone to upset by different imbalances. But the brain as a whole is melancholic, as is the memory center, which seems the most at risk? It'd be no trouble at all to add some herbs to balance black bile."
"There have been some Keepers and elders affected by it," Merrill adds, pulling some notes of her own out of a satchel. There are lists and descriptions of herbs, mostly, as well as teas and mentions of attempts at using Creation magic. "Typically the First takes over then, but we still try and keep our elders well."
The nerve in his temple beats a silent percussion against the discussion, but there's a certain optimism inherent to this venture. Call it guilt (he's worked on worse here), or only possibility: Progress in this could help many more than the Grand Cleric.
He lifts head from hand in acknowledgment, the gesture sweeping vague.
"There have been, that is to say there has been work done. I believe we acquired some notes from a Circle enchanter." Believes they're a bit higher up than that, but no point in specificity — "I cannot speak to their rigour, but they describe a similar attempt to steady the. Ah, the imbalances of age."
A nod to Colin, Merrill.
"But those are," Nevarran: "Manifold. It strikes me that, hm, that the manner of balance lies in question. A more energetic mind is not a more settled one. To the extent herbal remedies might, ah, might pacify inconstancies of mood they may not improve — I cannot find the word. Am I correct,"

To Anders.
"That you would prioritize sharpness of mind?"
Over stability.
