[ The poor man never learned texting etiquette, only letter-writing etiquette, so naturally, he used the latter when sending his first ever private text message. Still, he notes Lois's less formal style and tries to follow suit. ]
(Yes, 'Daniel' is fine.)
The ritual involved the use of a homemade optical device and candle flame. It wasn't anything too burdensome. So far, the difficulty has been in finding exactly what kind of ritual might work for each ensorcelled book. The protections the Fae have placed on these books prevents me from sensing which Principle may subvert them.
That said, if I can narrow down the possibilities through trial and error, the rituals themselves are relatively simple. One does not need any aptitude in "magic" to assist in their enactment. That said, different people may have qualities which predispose them to success in certain kinds of rituals.
Would you like me to contact you if I have need of an assistant for a ritual relevant to your own talents?
[ Daniel doesn't actually need for her to tell him—he had gotten a good sense of her Principles when they met. At the same time, it would probably put Lois more at ease to tell him about herself rather than knowing he can intuit information from simply being in someone's presence. ]
That would be very helpful, if you're willing to share.
[ Shit. People are always the worst at describing their own talents. Why did she offer to do this? ]
I’m a journalist, so I’m a good writer. I like to do research and share that information. Everyone should be informed about issues. I’m not afraid to ask questions.

I also make a good burrito.
