If you believe in magic, come along with me [OPEN & Closed]
WHO: Himeka & you!
WHAT: Conjury lessons and incidental mingling
WHEN: Throughout October
WHERE: Solvunn - Primary & the outskirts to the northeast
[ ooc; I default to brackets but I am happy to write in prose! Whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to join training but haven't signed up yet first, feel free to do so in the link above. ]
i. conjury training; outskirts [CLOSED to current students]
[ If only E-Sumi-Yan could see her now. Being something of a protege in her own right, it was fairly common for Himeka to be asked to step in with both the new and senior members of the Conjurer's Guild. The only non-Padjal White Mage known and the Warrior of Light at that, all of them were keen to speak with her--hear her stories, learn from what they could.
Now...that never meant she was a particularly good mentor by any means. Truth be told, it was in these instances that she started to realize that in all her practice, most things came naturally and she hadn't spent much time thinking on the mechanics of what and how she was doing what she was.
Well, that's got to change. The Conjurer's Guild had centuries of experience and knowledge and training, while the other hopefuls here in Solvunn may need a little extra something if they are going up against any other nations bent on harnessing the power of the Singularity, for good or for ill. The least she can do is teach a few healing spells and show them how to throw rocks.
Rocks come first, of course. ]
Let's try this again.
[ She puts her hands on her hips, assuming what she hopes is an authoritative pose. ]
You only need to...force your will on the ground! Of sorts. As if you want it to move.
[ Yeah...totally easy! ]
ii. after hours; outskirts [OPEN]
[ White magics have come easy since she began her training, but despite her natural proclivity to magics in general, her other fields required a little more concentration. So when she finally calls it quits for that day's lessons, Himeka uses the evening hours to practice on her own. Without her job stones and proper equipment, channeling of Red and Black magics will take time. And as much as she enjoys running errands about town to meet people, being without her abilities those months in the dungeon have made their return feel all the more precious.
Standing (presumably alone) not far from the forest's edge, Himeka inhales slowly before calling forth her leylines beneath her feet, slowly rotating about her form. They make the air around her crackle as they settle and she refines their shape. It takes a few seconds.
Then, her vision darts to a large stone near by and, without much preamble, she raises her hands in the air as dark energy radiates and collects around them before an explosion of fire is set upon the stone, causing it to scorch and shatter--
--hopefully not to anyone who happens to be on the path nearby. ]
iii. a witch without a wand; solvunn proper [OPEN]
[ Himeka has quickly found that there is a reason that mages and sorcerers use all sorts of canes, wands, and rods to channel their magic--it's so much more easy to control and amplify. Therefore, she's determined to fashion something of one for herself.
And really, how hard can it be? She knows they are made from natural materials and Solvunn has an abundance of those about. So a few carved sticks and a nice rock or something should be good enough, right? Right!
Except as she sits on a fence that lines the road right into the center of town, she frowns as she looks down at her creation. She found a shiny stone and tied it with twine to a long stick, but it looks more like a child's attempt to make a club that anything an actual wielder of ancient magics would dare use. Not if they wanted to be taken seriously, at least.
Himeka sighs, watching the people walk to and fro into town. She lazily waves her "wand" and one of those people. ]
Zap.
[ Except it doesn't zap any poor, unsuspecting soul (thankfully). The "wand" pops, sparks, and then catches fire. She immediately drops it. ]
Shite!

Taylor shakes her head, though she's keeping a circumspect distance from those wheeling shapes. "No, I'm fine." Her eyes linger on the distinctly not human face, but she isn't going to ask about that. "Can I ask... what are you doing?"
no subject
That is a relief. Himeka doesn't mind causing a few explosions in her own vicinity, but she isn't out to hurt any of the locals--or other summoned, as it were. (Not unless they deserve it, which is still to be seen.)
The woman has a fair question. Himeka looks about and then down at her ley lines, knowing that exploding rocks and unknown circles of magic may not be the most welcome in a town that is so devoted as it is to the local gods. Who knows if this contradicts with anything they currently believe? (She feels not, but it's still easier practice out in the open.)
"I'm practicing my offensive magics," she says simply as the ley lines at her feet begin to fade entirely. "Things both work the same here and not as they do normally, you know?"
She would know, right?
"If we get rusty you never know when we may need to set something ablaze more menacing than a stone."
no subject
"I don't know anything about magics, we don't have them in my world. But people talk like they're normal here."
no subject
"None at all?" she frowns, though not out of disappointment, just difficulty. "As for normal, it seems to vary depending on you who speak with. The concentration of magics out here isn't as dense as other places, apparently."
