Domon Kasshu x Domon Kasshu B

[7:10 PM] Flamy: To nobody's surprise, desert nights are rather chilly (much like desert days are a little on the hot side), but the team, which Rina titles as the Anti-Insurgence Alliance, finds shelter by the river, and within a fort, which you realize is not too far off from the children. Not that you did see it before, as the map was mostly centered around that one fort, but it isn't too far away from the border. Getting any deeper would lead to much more extreme results, in terms of temperature.
[7:12 PM] Flamy: On this night, Katarin sits against a wall, muttering to herself the incantations inscribed within the tome obtained from Garth. Valefar, she had called it?
[7:20 PM] Tawn: "And what are you doing over here, all by yourself? Isn't it Rowan's job to be the loner?" Tawn says playfully, walking over towards, and sitting down next to the girl. "In all seriousness though, what are you up to? Wouldn't you have more light to read by over by the fire?"
[7:26 PM] Flamy: She takes an annoyed glance at your general direction, but realizes that it's you, and closes the book, giving you a wave. "Hey there! I wanted a little more silence to study what this tome was. It's said a lot to me, and I can't process most of it, but if you're just concerned about me not having enough light-" She would stretch out her left hand, palm up, and then her hand glowed with an awesome intensity. Too awesome. In fact, blinding. She tones it down, and it's a much more bearable sort of green-ish glow. "I could just make it with this, no problem. I'm used to seeing things in the dark, though. Part of training at the priory!"
[7:33 PM] Tawn: "Well, that's fair enough, I suppose. Sorry to have disturbed your reading, but mind sharing what all you've learned so far? I seem to have a bit taken on the role of tactician for our group, not that it's always been a perfect scenario, but knowing what my comrades are capable of helps me plan things better." Tawn smiles, guiltily at first, feeling bad for interrupting her studying, but a little more genuine afterwards.
[7:39 PM] Flamy: She takes a giggle at the tactician remark. "I hope everyone can cooperate with your plans. Anyway, sooo... Valefar's like, SUPER-powerful, but the way I cast magic only makes a stupidly small little burst of light." She demonstrates this by opening the tome, making her hand stop shining, and then doing her little motions for spellcasting, as when she used the Lightning spell. Sure enough, you see a brief, but tiny, flash that floats just a little ways out of the spell circle made by her hand, which then bursts, blowing sand away from its origin point (but also away from you, thankfully). "To make it do anything, I have to, well, channel it into my body, then release it from my hand. I know this sounds really stupid, but when I touched it, all that information was kinda just... dumped into my head."
[7:47 PM] Tawn: "Weird? Yes. Hard to believe? Definitely. Stupid? Not really. I won't claim to understand how magic works, much less the magic of what could only be a Wyrmscourge, but if you say that the information was dumped into your head, I've no reason to disbelieve you." he then thinks for a second. "Actually, come to think of it, I once saw Master using a technique very similar to what you did to drive off those Federation soldiers, although rather than his body, he seemed to channel the power through his sword."
[7:50 PM] Flamy: Katarin goes into a moment of deep consideration, closing Valefar once more. "If I could output the power through a weapon, I could throw it, which could increase its range. But... Master Asia prized close-range combat above all else. I think he would approve of the technique I have now. I just need..." She reaches out to the sky with her left hand. "To improve it, and make it even stronger!"
[7:55 PM] Tawn: "While the man I knew certainly prized close-quarters combat, especially either unarmed or with swords, he also prized ingenuity. I think he'd be proud of improving upon the technique however you best see fit, either through a weapon or as-is. Notably, using a weapon as a conduit for the power doesn't necessarily mean throwing it, as I said, Master used a similar technique with his own sword, which drastically increased it's cutting and piercing power."
[8:12 PM] Flamy: "Hm... once I get a better grip on how Valefar works- and really, Light Magic- I'll need to apply this technique... on other means!" She nods to herself, then looks at you, fierce determination in her eye. "Tawn! When that time comes, will you teach me the way of the sword?"
[8:15 PM] Tawn: "It would be my pleasure." Tawn grins.
[9:02 PM] Flamy: > Tawn and Katarin have attained a Support Rank of B!
