How many of you are familiar with BOTH the concept and realities of time travel and the multiverse AND quantum physics?

I'm so sorry for him

[slidesrightoff]

Well usually it happens because a mad scientist was messing with something. Or created something. Or someone found a grimoire. Or a spellbook--they're different things. Or an alien artifact. Or woke up with powers they couldn't control. Or it was a solar eclipse during the summer solstice while Mercury was in Retrograde. Or someone stole something from the future that was also a time machine, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. Or a civilization was on the brink of collapse and their scientists created a breach as a last act of desperation. Or someone touched a cursed artifact in an ancient temple on a Tuesday during a thunderstorm while Jupiter was rising.

Physics is just sort of always there, except for when people have powers that can give it the middle finger.

I love him lmfao

How is a grimoire different than a spellbook? They're literally synonyms.

No. Nevermind. It doesn't matter. You've made it perfectly clear you can't help me. Thanks, but no.

he means well

[slidesrightoff]

If they were the exact same thing why would they have two different words for it?

A grimoire is an ancient book of spells with way more stuff and is like a doctorate-level textbook for someone majoring in sorcery. A spellbook is something anyone can find at Hot Topic and is like a middle school textbook.

[Or something like that.]

Wait what? I'm telling the truth! I'm being helpful.

[forasecond]

Language is diversified that way.

Right.
Thanks for the clarification.

[He isn't that Great™ with the concept of magic anyway, but this description really isn't helping his opinions of it, either.]

Oh, I'm sure you are.
But none of it is going to help my purpose.

[slidesrightoff]

But you were the one that asked????????

[Look, he's not either, but one of his best friends is a sorcerer and he hears things. He doesn't remember them, but he hears them.]

What's your purpose?

[forasecond]

Finding a way home.

[slidesrightoff]

Oh.

Yeah that makes sense.

Have you tried asking the native heroes? They might have access to resources and stuff.

They seem pretty content with the idea of us just being stuck, if all their spiels are to be believed.
