Path of Metal. Third Step

Imeri sighed and kissed Kaiza on his lips before giving him a tight hug, taking a while until deciding to  pull and soon trying to resume her practice after good rest in her loves embrace. Exhaling happily as she roled her shoulders and sat down on the ground once again, soon levitating herself up before deciding to surround with stones, resuming her practice of separating the bits of metal from the earth.

She would remain hovering though this time with warm smile on her face, knowing that person that she cared about and that cared about her was close, watching her as she kept training and making progress. She wanted to continue to become stronger for him and for her family, to prove to others of her power, to become capable of protecting everything she cared for in darkest of times.

With metal magic she would be capable of replacing her earth balls and barrages with metal ones, making her attacks far more devastating, same as her shields becoming harder to pentetrate and making them ideal to protect ones she cared for. For that she had to train, repeatly collect the tiny bits of metal from earth, gathering them around the ball of mixed metals she already extracted, slowly working over increasing its volume, size and weight, slowly starting to feel its heaviness in her hands.

As the time passed, her control over element would slowly improve, was it in connection of her own determination to repeat the training everyday, be it alone or with Kaiza around her, doing her best to prove to him that her newly learnt magic would once become an powerful tool. be it for smithing of her own, without need to ask blacksmith to work over the metal she wanted to shape, simiarly to enchanting, giving her ability to encarve runes in far faster pace than before, making it possible for her to complete tasks without need of her tools.

Finally, the other use would be for combat, she seen how powerful some of the melee weapons could have becomed in skilled warriors hand, she couldn't imagine how powerful would that turn out in terms of manipulating metal with magic, with addition of her lightning and gravity powers. Something that would prove useful once she was powerful enough to wield it freely and that time would slowly begin to pass with another day.

As the process of collecting metal became easier, the witch began to ponder on next task, it involved learning how to separate the metals from one another, she began to ponder of how to separate each type of metal into group of same ones to form purest possible metal ballsof her own. Challenging though not impossible task for Imeri, as she already did prove that she was more than capable of collecting metal from the ground itself.

Her power soon allowed her to begin the next part of her learning, really slowly letting her separate the metals from the main ball and moving them to gather around different ones in her palm, separated from others in order to form their own balls of pure metals that she would then observe in silence, wanting to rest for now before deciding to move on with her practice.
