ursulav made a teeny post featuring the painting title from a dream: "Two Ninjas Negotiating With An Earth Elemental To Buy Gravity." (never seen in the dream, sadly).
Now I want to do a magic system based on the premise of magic-users licensing from various elemental beings the right to use, abuse, and violate natural laws.
Ooo, I like the "we're not quite sure what we're trading" angle. Especially if it cuts both ways, and the aliens don't really know what they're getting either. :)
