In his memories, they are both "specialized" on a Wisdom-related occupation, though of course they are also both Cunning enough that they certainly could have been wizards had they so deigned.  If Esta was getting the spells he asked for, he'd ask for Detect Anxieties and see if she's still WIS 18.

The entire thing with her supposedly having very low abilityscores, at the same as rising to the top of an elite profession, is not something that Esta immediately understands.  Is it -- so that nobody ever demands more of her, at the same time that she excels?  Esta has never dreamed of having a lower stat in anything, ever.  It certainly doesn't look from the outside like her mental stats have lowered.

Would it have something to do with the Dark Tapestry inversion that made her pseudo-Chaotic-Good?  --Actually Esta is only now remembering for the first time in a while that this was even supposed to be true.  Her attitude toward making an oath was certainly Lawful.  An inverted Mariona should enjoy being praised.  Possibly that entire theory is wrong and gets superseded by the dreamworld theory.  But then if Mariona didn't have her desires inverted, why does she fondly remember an 'amusing amount of pain', and what was their relationship like in her memory--

Esta will worry about this later.  They have a Bag to retrieve.  His multiple incense-using spells suggest it can be done this cycle.  And if Asmodeus troubled himself to indicate that, it maybe means they SHOULD go find the Bag, before it gets any more lost, or destroyed.
