Day 22 - Not really. Clergy inspired by the words of the Lightlord capable of using magic can learn spells taught by the Church, but that's more coincidental.
Day 23 - Those are a thing, yes. Mostly incantations, spoken within the mind.

That being said, IRL issues aside, let's see if we can't knock some of these out.
Day 22 - I got nothin'. No time for aesthetic boards.
Day 23 - No.
Day 24 - Mel's real name, "Melia," is an old Greek word for an ash tree, usually referring to the spirits living inside them.

Day 21 - Mel usually feels annoyance, as when there's music happening in the group, Zelkiiro's behind it, and she finds his musical antics grating. Winona, on the other hand, greatly enjoys these little melodic interludes, often feeling a wistful nostalgia as she listens.

Day 21 - Mel isn't a morning person, per se, but she can function well enough. Out of necessity. If the church bells ringing out the hour in the city she's sleeping in don't wake her up at 6:00am, she'll be snoozin' until at least 10:00.

Day 19 - No. Mel can carry a tune fine enough, but she'll never wow anyone with her voice, and she can't play an instrument to save her life. Her demon hunter training left her no time for such frivolity.

Day 19 - One of the most helpful bits of writing advice I've seen is actually Trey Parker's "therefore/but" clause:
Every piece of your story should be connected by "therefore" or "but." Either Scene A causes Scene B, or Scene A is contrasted with Scene B.

Day 17 - Eh, not really. At least, not in any way that's relevant to the story. I'm sure there are music-mancers out there somewhere and that some important tales are told through or about song, but I didn't write 'em. That would require imagination on my part. :V

Day 15 - I'm not smart enough to invent new instruments, so much of the classics are here. Pianos, flutes, guitars, harps, clarinets--if it exists in 1890, it probably exists here, too!
At one point, Zelkiiro conjures an illusory guitar and plays a mournful old ballad with it.
