Well, well, well, it seems you finally got that letter system working, Alex, so I'm sending you a letter just to say hi.
this will be a short letter but I am quite curious to know what the heck you did to actually get this set up functioning
you are not one to give up on you since it took years to get this system working which seems straneg to me but I'm not the one who specialized in general Magic so to get the magical nodes to send physical letters is pretty impressive
anyway a bit on what I've been up to this decade, mostly I've been traveling on foot through cities and towns, you should have seen some of the people I've met, they were drop-dead gorgeous, but not like an academic like yourself would care much about someone's appearance.
There's this fascinating new food Style that has popped up in the last decade or so in the country I'm currently visiting that takes solidified Magic dust and incorporates it into food. The locals say it gives things an electric taste, but I find it less appealing because of the fact I’m a Mana born. personally I think it makes the taste of the food far too Vivid and overwhelming, since I can practically taste it throughout my whole being. Well, the sensory experience is interesting in small doses I certainly wouldn't want to eat an entire meal like this.
Much more has been happening in the country I'm in, but I feel like that's enough writing for now, sooooooo see ya.
p.s I think that instead of using the mana lay lines to transfer your mail, you could have probably set up some spatial Magic to deliver letters, though I might be a bit biased.

Dear: Ceasccellion
It is quite wonderful to hear from you I am glad to know that you appreciate the system I spent a great amount of time perfecting I am pleased to hear about your exploits and travels
well you're suggestion of spatially warped areas to facilitate the movement of mail it would take quite a bit of Mona to maintain while the system I currently have created takes far less Mana and is supplied entirely by the mana lay lines that the mail travels through so in this case my friend you're bias might not be as beneficial as you believe It is with care that I kindly say that not everything needs to evolve around your space Magic. yes it is your specialty. Yes, you put quite a bit of effort into it. no it does not need to be incorporated into everything
With sincerity, Alexander.

……. Yeash Your letter looks like it went through five stages of review. I know that you're the principal of the main magic Academy on the continent and basically the ruler of your kingdom, but that doesn't mean every letter you write has to look like it passed through five layers of review and is written like you're trying not to start a war with a kingdom that hates you, wow.
oh and by the way, everything is better with space and dimensional magic.

Hello triplets, This is the first time I'm sending you a letter through the manaline system. I wanted to say hello and to ask why you need a realm seed. You all know how hard they are to make. I'd have to sacrifice at least two decades of accumulated power to create even a small one. What do you need a realm seed so bad that you can't do with just expanded space or a pocket dimension, seriously?
On another topic, how is the Valerian Empire doing? More importantly, is the new king causing you trouble because of your witch status? I know y'all can handle yourselves I just want to know. I mean, the last king you had to deal with was a pain, despite you all three being Immortal witches that have lived way longer than he has ever even been a concept on this planet, he had the audacity to try to boss you around like you were his servants. I mean, he learned his freaking lesson the hard way, but still
P.s. Don't know if you heard, but a true dragon is causing problems in the Kingdom next to yours. I might have to deal with that if you all don't.

Greetings, this mana line system is new, and I'm not quite used to it. I'm surprised you've bothered to send us letters at all. My sisters say hello, and you don't need to know why we need a realm seed in the first place, and don't worry, the dragon is handled…

Dear: Ceascellion
It's been a few years since our last correspondence. I know you asked me not to talk as formally, but it is thoroughly ingrained in my habits to do so
; that is beside the point. I know that you have on many occasions turned down a position as a teacher at the Academy, but would you be willing to hold a guest lecture on dimensional Magi,c it is your main field of study, and I believe that my students would gain a great amount of insight from listening to you speak on the subject

I suppose I don't mind speaking at a guest lecture in your Academy! Well, I don't mind. I am currently watching over an interesting natural treasure, which will likely take a few years to fully mature, and I don't want to miss it! It will likely take about 5 years, so not too long for us, but you can take the time to set up a proper lecture hall able to fit your students and those who wish to join.
Anyway, I heard that the triplets ended up using that true dragon that appeared in a ritual of theirs. I have a feeling you would be curious about it, so I'm telling you so you can interrogate them as you wish. Good luck.
P.s. Did you make this whole Mail system since you can't leave the capital of your city?

Dear triplets
Greetings, it has been quite the century since we last talked it was not my intention to avoid you, and I have not gone out of my way to do so, but it still has been quite a while since we have spoken. Our friend Ceacellion has informed me that you three might have an academically interesting new thing to study. I've been told you took down or in some way handled a true dragon and are using the remains in a ritual while the part of me that is responsible for helping run a kingdom is worried the scholarly side of me is much more interested in the mechanics of what you are intending so. a few questions that I have are, what ritual you planning to cast with the creatures remains and what do you intend to do with the result I do hope you will answer if only to sayt my curiosity

From Cassy
greetings Alexander. It has been quite a while since we spoke last, though I suppose I should get to the point. we were hoping that the dragon remains with a true dragons innate ability to control the ambient Mana (even if it is to a lesser degree Then what would be ideal) we were hoping this trait would allow us to use the dragon's remains as a sacrifice to create a realm seed without having to go through the steps of learning dimensional Magic to the depth it usually requires. The ritual is not yet complete and will likely take a year or two to fully see the results, but I do believe that it should work. We would greatly appreciate it if you did not tell Ceascellion about our attempt to get around them, with a method that is non-traditional, let's say. I believe they will be rightly displeased if they learn of this. as for what we are intending to do with the results let's just say it has been a bit of an obsession this past decade for my sisters and I to create our own fully sentient life and we need somewhere to put these creations no. they can hardly be left in a lifeless pocket dimension or void forbid a far to simple expanded space I do hope you have a nice day sincerely Cassy.

Dearest triplets
I would be more than willing to withhold this information from our mutual friend as long as you do truly believe that it will have no adverse effects, and I would be more willing to do so if you sent me a copy of the ritual you are using for study, as well as the steps you go through while in the process

I don't know which one of you idiots had the harebrained idea to try to use the corpse of the true Dragon to create a realm seed by tearing a piece of the dimensional fabric out to create your faulty realm, but whichever one of you three came up with this idea, I am going to skin you alive because how freaking dare you!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even know what to say. You managed to not only create Rippling damage through the entire dimension but failed to create the one thing you were intending to create with an entire true dragon's corpse at your disposal!!!!! You didn't let Alexander tell me because you knew that this could go disastrously wrong, and I would stop you before you did it!!!!! But you just had to go and think you could do it, and now, as the only Realm Guardian, I am stuck cleaning up your messes. This will take me decades to fix fully, and we will still be feeling the consequences centuries later. Are you freaking proud of yourself?!!!

Dear Ceascellion
I greatly apologize for not informing you of the triplets' plans. I now see that was a mistake on my part. I was far too engrossed in the idea of what they were creating to truly think through the possible consequences. My desire to know the research they were conducting overshadowed my common sense
I once again apologize for failing to inform you.
On a different note, I was wondering if you are still willing to go over a lecture on dimensionalism. Given current events, I think it would still be quite beneficial. I realize that with the new influx of responsibilities you have acquired to fix the damaged part of the dimensional fabric, you might not have time to do a guest lecture for us, but I would greatly appreciat if you did

The Witch bribed you, didn't they? Let me guess, they offered to share their research on the topic if you kept your mouth shut. I am greatly disappointed in you. Also, the treasure I was looking after was destroyed because of this mess, and I am very mad.
I will still attend the lecture because it is important for people to know what not to mess with, i.e., dimensional Magic.
P.s. Sending letters back and forth is getting tedious. You should work on a more instantaneous method of communication.
head scribes transcription of the Great dimensional magic lecture, year 1670 Teira Era
Greeting students and researchers of the academy, my name is Ceascellion, and I am here to give a lecture on dimensional Magic in the world of Eniria. Many things in Dimensional Magic make up a greater whole. Let's start with the dimensional fabric. the dimensional fabric is a term we use to describe the membrane that in cases are dimension and keeps everything inside while sayings such as membrane and fabric might make you consider that this is a solid object that is easy to interact with that is not quite true It is more a overarching thing that exists in a place that is slightly to the left of reality is the quickest way I can describe it. The next thing is the existence and difference between expanded space, pocket dimensions, realms, and True Dimensions, first we will discuss expanded space since it is the simplest to describe expanded space is basically where a closed container of some sort is larger on the inside than it is on the outside next pocket dimensions are essentially a piece of the dimensional fabric twisted around and cut off from the dimensional fabric as a whole this creates a space that does not exist on the outside but does exist on the inside it can be moved around freely and when done correctly does not damage the pocket Dimension or the dimensional fabric. now we get into the more esoteric things realms are the closest thing to a true dimension that you can get without fully stepping over that line Are in a way living entities similar to how a true Dimension is a living entity Realms can be desolate or vibrant with life but their core consciousness is still in its infantile stages and cannot properly grow itself without outside interference. finally dimensions are sentient self-growing and self-sustaining entities that do not need to be micromanaged in order for them to thrive. In these scenarios, I've described these magical constructs as sentient, and while that is true, they aren't sapient like you and me. It is as if a single person's Consciousness was expanded to great amounts, but then spread over a vast distance. They don't have coherent thoughts like us, but that does not mean they are not alive in some capacity. Now that we've covered the fabric of reality and the difference between the four Space Magic basics, we shall go into the specifics of casting and what to do to get your desired result, and what not to do………….

Hello Alexander, this will probably be my last letter for a while because I really need to focus on repairing the damage to the dimensional fabric. I hope you are appreciative of the few hours I took out of my day to give a lecture on Dimensional Magic. I likely won't respond to any letters sent for the next 20 or so years, give or take, so don't bother to try to contact me unless it's a world-shaking emergency, and at that point, I will likely already know about it .
P.s.I will not be taking a position as a teacher at your Academy, and I only said I would think about it because you kept pestering me.
