"That... where I come from, it would take something terrible to withdraw wizardry from a species entirely. Species go through periods of being sevarfrith -- that is wizardry is practiced in secret, not in the open. Most human cultures where I come from are in one now. But, not having wizardry would mean the Powers had withdrawn their attention entirely, and few worlds are so... lost. Or wizards are no longer needed, and no world is that lucky for long."

S'reee is motioning like she wants to swim, but can't do so in the confines of her tank. She kind of hopes Connie is wrong about her world, but if she's in contact with a species that is astahfrith, they should know of human wizards if Connie doesn't.
