"Oh, I've certainly been starting small; simple levitating charms and freezing charms and the like, and I think my shield charms still work as well as can be expected. I can work around the issue, it's just been a matter of trying to figure out what the issue is. Either I can't use magic here because I have no relationship with the Fade, or there's simply some sort of block between myself and the Fade, or - and I would love it if the answer were this simple - my wand simply needs to be repaired. Granted, though, I doubt anyone here would know how to repair a wand, so perhaps that wouldn't be as simple as all that. after all."
But worrying about that wouldn't help anything, so she only offered him a small, vaguely strained smile as she mentally shrugged that all off. "Thank you for your support, though. Even if you don't believe in magic."
