"I never expected the fairy tale of Tree's Kiss to have this meaning as well. But that's bad news."

Dorothy covered her forehead helplessly, then looked up at the glowing rune again.

"When I had you choose Tree's Kiss to study, I hoped you would gain a Spirit Rune related to nature, not the story itself. Tree's Kiss, understood by its literal meaning, really isn't specific or complex. But the problem is that this Spirit Rune points to a specific story. Shade, it will be difficult for you to find thaumaturgy corresponding to Tree's Kiss."

This was indeed a problem. Even without looking into it, Shade could imagine how rare such a Spirit Rune was. He even suspected that no one but him could obtain this rune.

"I'll first try my luck at the Black Raven Library, then have Leisha ask around through Zaras Academy of Literature. After all, they specialize in spells and thaumaturgy. I'm also on good terms with Miss Danist, the library administrator, so I can look through Saint Byron's as well."

"No, don't ask at the Academy Library. That would arouse suspicion. I'll ask instead. After all, I'm a Ring Arcanist who primarily uses Enlightenment Elements."

Dorothy offered Shade advice.

"There probably isn't any thaumaturgy directly corresponding to Tree's Kiss, but perhaps there are other Spirit Runes connected to that story that you can learn. Still, we'll have to change the subject of our lessons again. This time, let's aim for the Sleeping Spirit Rune. You already have two Second Ring runes: Echo of Spacetime Shaking Slumbering Power. Yes, we also need to put the Spirit Runes needed for Words of Sublimation on the schedule."

Princess Leisha's Low-Ring Words of Sublimation were related to a sleeping princess, so they should be quite skilled in this area.
