Or something along those lines. Power probably wasn't the right word. Oh well...
"Oh. Just one more question!" This had been bugging her for ages.
"Has Arithmancy got something to do with numbers?"
Yep, she was getting dumber by the minute.
Numbers, family... uh!
"Yeah, as we were carving them manually. It, like... assists with putting the magic into them, I guess."
Jake thought it was super cool if you asked him. Not using a wand to make pure magic and all. Like if he was ever trapped in a box, had a carving tool and remembered the right galdr, he could... make himself feel more comfortable? Like the room felt. Yes.
Ah, Arithmancy. "Yeeees..." Jake said slowly. "But it's not really maths. There's a little adding, but it's dead simple. There are numbers, though... yeah. But it's finding the meaning of the number about certain things with you and stuff. It's pretty cool. Not as hard as people think."
