I am sorry to hear it. [Those pages would be relics of the times before the Lady Lisa's death, and likely invaluable to the dhampir.]
It's a different application of the same theory. Devil forging uses elements of conjuring and necromancy, among other things. [It's one of the reasons it is so rare a talent, because of the delicate blending of various magics.
The fairy preens under the attention, flitting around to show off her wings, but ultimately always returning to the spot on the wall that she's decided is interesting. She's a spirit of minor healing and major curiosity, and Hector has relied on her to help find shortcuts to the castle.]
Isaac is stronger than I am. I could try to build an army of night creatures to match his, but...I wouldn't be able to control them. They would leave a wake of destruction in their stead, and I won't do that again. I swore to her I wouldn't.
The one thing Isaac could never rival me in is innovation. He makes things that kill, and do it well, but he has no spark of creativity beyond that. If I create something he can't anticipate, I'll have the edge I need to finish him.
