...that was his Endure Elements wearing off. It was cast on him within three moments of arriving at the Worldwound, and they could not have been there for longer than three minutes before t̸̬͘h̷̜̚e̸̜͌ ̶̮͆c̷̭̕u̶̱̔l̸̘̿ṯ̷̉i̶͔̽s̵͙̑ẗ̸̰́s̷̭̄ Esta is not thinking about that thank you very much. The point is, Esta has now been here for 24 hours, it was daytime when he arrived, and it is currently night outside.
Esta's first thought is that they have Teleported to a different timezone.
Esta's second thought is that he is a fool. Mariona was not asking him about plans by showing him those diagrams across their communication barrier. Mariona was trying to communicate the important fact that they were on a different planet with a non-24 day-night cycle. Esta does not remember off the top of the head what Castrovel's cycle is said to be like, but he remembers it not being 24 hours, and that Castrovel's seasons are not like Golarion's seasons.
If Esta was ever taught how praying for spells works under those circumstances, he has incompetently forgotten the fact. It will be inconvenient to say the least if they must go a long time between dawns.
