You'd have better look checking the Internet.

Ugh but the internet is just a big dumpster fire.

Why be ya lookin' for such?

That's why you need to check several sources and filter out the crappy stuff.

Total crap.

I need to learn some new magic spells.

Where do you find books to learn new magic spells?

I'm not writing a research paper. I'm looking for actual information. That isn't a copy of five other websites.

I definitively need books.

I learned most of mine other ways. But I have some spellbooks. You wish to borrow one?

Yeah.... They're not evil spellbooks, are they?

If you mean will the books try to eat you? Nyet. If you mean are some of the spells a bit harsh then yes. But not all of them.

You always needs proper sources. How else would you know if it's true or not?

Okay... can I borrow the ones that aren't as harsh? I don't want to learn Evil spells.

What sort o' spells, if I may?

[From behind her, she hears her mother's voice]

Of course they are. The spells that humans are capable of dealing with are, in general, inferior.

I dunno... useful ones!

Well you can tell when you read it... like anytime it says fairies are nice, you knnnoowww it's a lie.

Mom!

I dunno... my teleport spell is useful. And the demon banishing one.

Naturally, dear. [she rests her hands on Megan's shoulders as her daughter looks at the books on the shelf with disappointment] But your magic comes from within. Those without such capacity - humans - tend to be mere magpies. They borrow spells from those who know more, and as such their spells are mere shadows of what they could be..what the are in the hands of their creators.

Your birthright entitles you to far better spells than these. [she scoffs softly at the books on display] You have merely to ask.

But useful to who, and how?

It also says werewolves are weak to silver. They aren't. In fact it makes terrible bullets.

Some of them are. I've met some.
You're missing the point, which is The Good Books aren't in the library and if they were, people would have copied them into the Internet and the internet wouldn't be the trash heap it is.

Well... useful to Me!

And um. I dunno how... But I can think of The How after!

Hard to say what you're lookin' for, then, if ya don't ken what you're wanting.

Magic!! I'm not good enough the way I am now.

I did ask! The librarians said they had no more...

[She huffs and puts her chin down on the stack of books]

I want to be better at all this fairy stuff, Mom.

That ain't very specific, sai. There be a million sorts o' magic.

Of course they don't. Why would they?

[She tilts her head to the side, looking down at her daughter] Do you? I can certainly help you with that. Would you like access to a proper fairy library, and fairy spells?

Wait. You're kidding! There's a fairy library? With spellbooks??

It's a good place to start. But if course you won't easily get the best kept secrets until you meet someone whom is into the occult.

Of course! We are a people - a civilization. We have many libraries. Of course, like any people, we have our factions so you can't have access to just any library. However, I can take you to more than a few. With proper fairy spells, you can tap your true potential and draw upon that energy within yourself that is largely unused.

That's what I want! A proper fairy! Can we do it? Can we go to a fairy library??

We can. Here, I will show you the necessary alterations to your teleportation spell so that you can take us there yourself. [And she does - it's an alteration to the way she manipulates the energy since she's traveling to another plane. But aside from that, it's just different coordinates and a more powerful - and what will feel more pure to her - spell.]

Shall we? You may do the honors.
