[Complex spells and will. No, it’s not the type of magic Isaac and Hector work with.]

It’s a shame the castle’s not alive in a way you could just ask it what needs to be done. [A surprising amount of necromancy is asking a broken thing if it wants to be alive again- most things do- and then giving it a body that it believes could function again. Hector’s never had a head for the layers of rituals and tedious chanting that seem to go hand in hand with enchanting objects.

Hector looks away, gives Adrian as much privacy as he can without leaving the kitchen. The ring...a fitting memento, but likely not an easy one for his son to possess.]

Nothing evil could be made from that. If there’s any fragment of spirit attached to it, it...wouldn’t be the piece Isaac is after.

[Hector is terrible at comforting anything that doesn’t walk around on four legs, but he can at least offer that tiny bit of reassurance.]
