Skill Applying For:Hero of Aspect ( Bard of Light)

Devs:
05/23/23(11:13:04) *Mike(Mike43) Grumbled slightly as he was working to carve some runes. he'd been studying the rune of light for a bit now. and honestly it wasn't that hard. he understood the aspect of light oddly well. he didn't quiet understand why but it just came to him naturally. it wasn't something that was putting much thought into why. "Hmm the skelly bub is named Rock?"*

05/23/23(12:14:39) *Mike(Mike43) Would get to work on clearing the weeds and tending the graves. all the while looking for stones he could use to help him in his magic endevors. he himself wasn't sure if that plant creature would be back, and if it came back what all it would do. he felt that primal feeling welling up inside of him again. if felt stronger this time, as if something inside of him was trying to awaken. but it just didn't have the means to just yet. it reminded him of an egg with something trying to hatch out from it. the feeling having distracted him long enough for him to realized he had spaced out and was just staring blankly forward. coming back he shook his head slightly. "I. . don't know what that is but. . . it's feeling. . . familiar" He muttered not able to put his finger on what this sensation was just yet.*

05/23/23(13:25:39) *Mike(Mike43) had been tending to the grounds before moving to dig holes. he filled old ones to make sure the grounds were stable and didn't erode to much in some areas. while he worked he pondered on The two words of power he understood. Light and Area, both seemed to be easy for him to understand. he was slowly understanding Light magic tended to be tied to fate and healing. Fate being nothing more then a word for Luck in his mind. something he understood too well. He'd always fumbled things more often then not, but never in any major way. always in just small inconvenint ways. like slipping up with his words, tripping over his own feet, or other minor unfortunate events. that same luck being what protected him in often time comedic ways. And being a Druid that focused healing the Light Aspect seemed to come to him naturally. it just seemed second nature to him in some ways. he continued to work the grounds. making small floweres grow before the graves using a mixture of Nature and Light magic to get further practice over this Aspect.*

05/24/23(21:54:24) *Mike(Mike43) Continued going to each planet. along the way here and there he would take breaks to think about the various runes he had on him. going through just studying the marks on them and the way their energy felt. This had been his real only means of studying and so far, it had been working, already understanding the names of some of the runes. "This is comeing along nicely, though wonder if the healing properties of light are really healing or just a chance based thing?" He muttered as he'd been finding that when using light magic there were times when nother happened and more rare still things got worse for the plant. This had been leading him to further connect Light to Luck or chance. taking one's whims and manifesting them into reality through this aspect. this had him ponder things about the Aspect, but for now he seemed to have rested long enought. he went back to tending to the grounds and plants.*

05/25/23(01:31:39) *Mike(Mike43) Sighhed and rubbed his head slightly. he knew the light aspect while tied to fate also had healing properties. but it seemed with the rune and incantations he was missing something to have that healing nature of the aspect to not show itself.. The problem being he wasn't sure exactly what that might be. he slowly laid on the ground and pondered on what could be missing., was it just missing an extra step. he'd come to understand the word for self and area but so far all he was doing was blinding himself and others around him. and while fun, it didn't have much use.*

05/29/23(00:11:40) *Mike(Mike43) With that he began to focus on his body. he had some basic training with combat. which he had demonstrated a few times when fighting. His kind did train for survival in the Fey Wilds, though the combat role was filled by those born in the summer under the Feral Star and he wasn't one of them. They were natural warriors that tended to teach the other members the basics to ensure defense. Lucky for him that Defense and Enduring was built into him from a rather clumsy life. But anything else and he kind of fell apart. he tended to make up for it though with his Natural speed. He began shadow boxing. something he was taught when he was young. Because it improved mental clarity in regards for visualizing space around one's self. This aspect being important to his kind's ability to channel their Star's gift from the outer planes. He had been to focused on studying magic that he'd not trained like he should have been. While his visualization hadn't faded. the memory of past foe's hadn't gotten weaker as he hadn't grown much. Even with the magic he'd learned it hadn't improved himself further then when he had fought them before. The fight with the plan monster had lasted only two and a half minutes. that thing had required the A good portion of citizens to be there before any damage was done to it. Alone the thing had utterly had him on the ropes. He sat down and breathed a sigh as the pain he felt had faded. But he felt the formation of a headache happening. “Alright, yeah. . .I've been a bit to narrow focused” He muttered to himself . Knowing he needed to improve his body as well as his mind. But he had been finding this Realm's magic so entertaining. It seemed more simpler then some of the magicks back in the Wilds. He sat there thinking back to the fight. Knowing other's had formed some kind of aura around themselves, he had been curious about but hadn't attempted to replicate. He had noticed that the plant creature had done the same. Their attacks becoming harder to take directly. Even harder to dodge as the fight went on. He pondered what it could be that form this aura, though one thought had crossed his mind. Perhaps it was a manifestation of one's own Aspect. This world's own magic seem to support that theory. Ever since arriving here, the Aspect of Light seemed to become second nature to him. Nearly as simple as manifesting his Star's power. The thought had him attempt something that seemed a bit to simple. Focusing on the aspect of light he began radiating it throughout his body. It was an oddly radiant sensation. The best way he could explain it was that things became more relaxed and vibrant. He felt more sure of his next choice. It was a truly odd experience, but as he maintained this State of mind he felt a drain on his overall energy. He felt the drain quicken as the seconds ticked. He tried to release this state, but in doing so he felt a bit uncomfortably from releasing the effect the little experiment had produced. He felt doubt slowly creep back into his mind. A feeling he didn't exactly like. He felt the need to further understand this theory of this realm's ties to these Aspects that weave it together. (Dev + PC Development )*

05/29/23(00:53:18) *Mike(Mike43) He would close his eye as he would attempt to return to that elevated sense. he felt the aspect of Light flowing through out his body . the aura around him began to manifest around him as his energy seemed to grow. this having been something he'd only realized possible . but the understanding to seemed to come natrually.*

05/29/23(13:02:41) *Mike(Mike43) Breathed out as he had been channeling the Aspect of Light through his body. Boost his Luck futher do to Light's connection to Fate. he noticed quiet a few close calls where a strike should of hit him but something minor seemed to prevent it, or he'd get lucky and caught it in time to react. letting the aspect fade he felt that clearity vanish and fade from him. "It's strill new to it but I've found that one can channel the aspect bound to their very soul. that Light is just that very manifestation."*



(Optional) Sample RP of you with the skill:

 Mike as usual was training his connection to his aspect. Having come to understand it as just another part of himself. A source of energy he could call upon just as easily as he breathed. Though as of late he found the energy change.  He wasn't sure why the change was happening but oddly enough the change didn't alert him.

As time went on he had noticed the normal clarity had become expanded. Getting flashed of what he could only describe as glimpses of what could be. A simple possibility of what was to come. These glimpses tended to only happen during battle. He had found that when he fought them some times things became worse, sometimes they didn't.

This only furthered his belief that Fate was fickle. So easily changed by people's free will. Having to account for ever probability.  That exact nature of the Aspect continued to make itself known throughout his observation and training.

 While this new change was interesting in of itself, it had only left him to wonder what more could be there to discover about this Aspect that had been tied to his soul. As surely this was only but the tip of the iceberg for what there was behind it's ability.
