As before, the writing is all his - I'm just doing the posting <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />--Alistair nodded.  “Excellent.  Please start at once, but be careful-- the Duke of Brightspan may react very badly if he learns that you are doing anything to affect his mind, even though it is just to heal it.  On another topic, you may have heard about our plans to create a new school of magic?”“Yes, your grace.”“We would also like to endow a psionic academy.”“Indeed, your grace?  That could be a very good thing…”“The other masters and grandmasters would support it?  We could not make the academy without your backing.”“Not all of them would.  Some people would be upset-- traditionalists, and people with particularly close ties to the existing, unaligned training schools.  But most of us would see the advantages.”“We would need to recruit instructors from beyond the Archduchy, particularly because I would intend to both screen heavily within the population to find anyone with the Gift and encourage people from beyond the Archduchy to come to the academy.  Would that create any additional problems?”“I shouldn’t think so, your grace.  The same group of traditionalists would grumble, but most of us would welcome a larger circle, and the increased power from the students and the new instructors would quickly outweigh the costs.  Let me have some time to discuss it with my fellows.  I should be able to make them more receptive to the idea.”“Of course.  We may well wait until well after the magic school is underway to begin work on the psionics academy.”  Alistair waited a moment to see if there were any further questions or comments, and then gestured to the Minister, who bowed his way out.--End of Session 17</blockquote>
