At first, I thought that Hermes was

But he wasn't. He was an upright mage who had dreams

There are so many interesting things

There are plenty of formulas for magic

It hurts a little to admit it, but yes.

I was shocked to see that he wrote down so

And it seems he wrote down a formula

Hmmm... Yes, I see.
Rita
Yes. That's why he was studying magic to
