[She accepts his answer as reasonable- after all, it's not as though she knows all the fine details about how her own magic works. She's had a decent education, but it was never her particular area of study. Ask her about business or baking, then she can give you answers.]

I can't feel any magic coming from these- they just seem like ordinary carvings- but I've seen other people use completely different kinds of magic on this island, so it could be that it's just too foreign for me to sense anything. I suppose it's reasonable: as far as I know they aren't meant to repel me, so why would I even notice whatever effect they have?

I confess, in my world we tended to think of gods in a much more abstract sense. Plenty of people have religious beliefs, of course, but I've never heard of anyone actually meeting a deity outside of ancient legends- none of which we can conclusively prove happened, despite the efforts of quite a few holy scholars.

[Muffet has never been one to dismiss something out of hand- it's certainly not impossible that her world has a god or gods- but she's never felt drawn to either strong belief or firm denial, personally, for all that she still swears by the angels out of habit.]

[Although she will admit that, in regards to the angels in particular, the recent success of the Delta Rune Prophecy is definitely a point in their favor.]


That said, I do recall someone from a more... theologically direct world suggesting that they might be the sigil of another deity, one the Storyteller is opposed to. Which sounds more plausible than anything else I can come up with, under the circumstances.
