Molly gave it some thought, watching her friend move around the stove,
adding ingredients with a practised hand. There were a few things she
could try but they were invasive and she was loathe to suggest them to
someone that was as sensitive as Sabine was to the spirit world and to
magic in general. There was a reason Molly had the Doom hanging over her
head when she'd been apprenticed. But there were less invasive things that
she could do.
"Well...I can think of two things that might help." She murmured
thoughtfully. "One, I can enchant a physical object to act as a nullifying
effect for the specific link between the two of you. A ring or a talisman
of some sort. That's probably the easiest thing to do for you both. It's
complicated spell work and I'd need to have you both here while I work it,
but it's doable. And you can take them off if you wanted." She added with
a smile. "Two, we can work on some shields and mental defences for you.
You're the one with the power so the onus is on you to do the work. Psychic
bonds aren't something I have a huge amount of experience with, but it's
not completely out of my wheelhouse. The danger would be that I miss
something, some kind of resonance that can get through whatever defences we
put in place and worm it's way in regardless. I can probably also teach
Scott some basic shielding but if he's not talented, you'd be able to walk
over it in a heartbeat." Molly held up a finger. "One - the enchanted
item would cut off the connection completely. You'd be wholly normal with
him for all intents and purposes." She held up a second finger. "Two -
you could be lulled into a false sense of security and end up overwhelmed
by the connection from his side and in a situation you weren't expecting."
She let the choices hang in the air and gave Sabine time to think them
over. Both had their merits but Sabine would have to make the choice.
