Erik moved over to the desk, still somewhat stiff from his near-death experience. He mentally crossed out "near" from his thoughts. He had died. He would do well to keep that in mind.

Trying to move on from the thoughts of his own death, Erik looked down towards the large tome. Though, 'large' seemed an inadequate descriptor. If it weren't for the books he had seen out on Ashurbanipal's immense shelves, he might have called it the largest book he'd ever seen. Peering over the page as it rippled at the Librarian's touch, it briefly occurred to him that those colossal books he had encountered might not necessarily contain words.

Enough wondering. There was work to be done. Muttering slightly:

"Creating a plane? You say that like it's simple."

Erik raised his hands to lay them on the tome. He wasn't quite sure what to do. The Librarian had spoken of knowledge, and of how one couldn't learn by doing, but even he seemed to expect Erik to already possess certain knowledge - like how to will a new plane into existence.

"Do I just... think?"

Gingerly touching the tome, he gave his best mental effort.

Alright, roll time. Let's hope this doesn't take too many tries.
