[technologist]

Yes, it is used differently. It's used for fighting evil wizards and putting things away on high shelves. In fiction.

I'm just trying to work out whether the limits are real or self-imposed.

[maidit]

Then that is clearly where the miscommunication lies, as magic in Thedas is both very real and generally not used for putting things away on high shelves. One would normally use a stool or ladder for such things.

[technologist]

Because magic's too unstable to risk on mundane tasks. I've got it now, thank you.

[ and abruptly back to less contentious subjects: ]

Can you show me how to do my own?

[maidit]

[ That's hardly true, but it's also not something a servant might correct, so: ]

Your own laundry?

Certainly if you like, but it's not necessary. I have not had the opportunity to study Rifted materials, but my experience with delicate fabrics is quite exstensive.

[technologist]

[ wow no argument he must've nailed it ]

Yeah, well the Rifted materials have already been binned, so that won't be a problem. I just doubt I'll have someone begging to do my laundry all the time. Better not to be completely useless about it.

[maidit]

[ "Begging to do his laundry"? For goodness sake. ]

It is my job to do the company's laundry, so if you leave I do imagine you will need to know. I'd be happy to teach you.
