Pleroma Only
Hello.
[ The voice is clear, and despite the fact that she's rarely spoken through communion, surprisingly clear, and with no lack of authority to her tone. ]
I have discovered that there are some among us who have come into some sort of magic, or abilities, since arriving. Some even have a gift from before they arrived, that has thus gone unutilitzed. [ Rand. ]
If we are to be at war -- to win against a foe with greater resources than we have, then we should utilize every advantage possible. I know I've spoken to others here, who have a great deal of competency with the arcane. I believe it would be best, if we pooled our resources, to teach those among us who are not so practiced. Whether it is powers granted in this realm, or... [ said with a bit of a laugh: ] simply magic, there are methods to make them simpler to call, or with practice, they can take less effort to use.
While I'm no professional instructor, I have advised others on the use of magic when they were new to workings before, and any sufficiently trained magister can instruct another on at least the basics, and I think we should do so before we find ourselves on the field again. Even if you are practiced with your gift, I am sure there is worth in working together, to learn how our respective talents can work together, before we allow each other to be exposed, or even worse: injured or killed.
[ A pause. ]
Consider this a...statement of intent, if you will. I normally favor staying in Godsblood, but given the...volatile nature of unpracticed magic, I think I will find myself an appropriately sized clearing near Greentruth, if others wish to join me. A scant few days of instruction, if you will. I do not think it will be hard to find, if you are in the vicinity in the next few days. If others are willing, perhaps it will be of use, to make this regular for practice.
[ ooc; I'll be intending to put up something of a loose open log for magic-based folks to collaborate/help out any characters who are just coming into new powers, want practice or instruction, or just want to strategize with magic-related combat in general later this week! ]

That's incredible.
I don't actually know very much at all about the mechanics of manipulating aether, but watching Himeka makes me think the magic of my world, and the magic of your world don't entirely operate the same way.
[Which does make sense, but he has to go into Scientist Mode about it.]
So the magic we learn here may operate on a different level than the magicks those people already know.
no subject
It could also simply be that my brain is now hard-wired to enact my magic in a certain way, and my own...computations and shorthands are no different than a practiced mage's own will.
Workings are complex things, but at their heart is will and gift. Without those two, it's merely an academic's notes, without the proper...perspective, if you will.
no subject
I reckon the only way to know for certain would be to compare various magicks to each other.
no subject
And is there anything more exciting, than experimenting with magic like that? I can't wait to see how they interact with each other.
no subject
I'm far more familiar with machinery, but I'll be looking into my magic the same way.
no subject
If you run into any snags when experimenting, do let me know. I have something of a...history of pushing boundaries on what can be done.
[ Just don't ask how. Nobody likes the answer. ]
no subject
[Fortunately, he doesn't ask.]
I'm nothing if not curious.
no subject
Excellent! Then I look forward to hearing about your progress with your experiments! Perhaps I can have a hand in them, sometime.
