You have to be kidding me. You have to be kidding me!

[Hello, Exsilium. Look at who isn't happy to be here.]

I wasn't even home for more than two full days, and I wind up back here?! That's screwed up! I-- I just--! Jeb... Damnit!

[But she forces herself to smile.]

Maybe I should see this as a good thing, in a way~ I might be able to get answers to my question about elemental powers this time around! [La...ugh...] So, how has everything been in the Initiative? What did I miss?

[skirtcladgunner]

Yeah. Control over an element, the ability to create something based off an element... you know, things like that~ water, fire, wind and earth, mainly.

[ Martin holds out his hand, fingers and palm caught on fire. ] My world's Destruction magic.

[...impressive. She's seen similar happen before, but it's always cool in its own way.]

"Destruction magic," eh? I'm guessing your world views it differently.

[septim]

The School of Destruction is one of the most basic forms of magic, and the one nearly all mages aspire to master. We view it as essential.

[skirtcladgunner]

You're a mage? [That's not a term she hears often.]

[septim]

[ A nod. ] Yes, I was trained at the Mages Guild in Cyrodiil, Tamriel.

[skirtcladgunner]

[...huh.]

That's not a familiar landmark to me, sadly~ but it does sound pretty impressive!

[septim]

It really isn't. Not until you get to the Arcane University, at least.

Anyways, what question about elemental powers were you asking the Initiative?

[skirtcladgunner]

Mostly if anyone had experience with them.

[septim]

Well, I've been a mage nearly all my life. If you need help with elemental powers, I might be able to help you. [ Unless it's an elemental like earth or wind—those don't exist in Tamriel, aside from shouts. ]

[skirtcladgunner]

[Her element does lie in wind, sadly. But it's not so much the element herself she needs help with...]

Any good ways to 'fine tune' that kind of thing?

[septim]

Meditation and practice. You must first learn to control it. I've seen many mages who've summoned more than they can withstand. It's...not a pretty sight.

[skirtcladgunner]

While it's not my weapon here, I'd still rather not do something like that. [Mostly because in her case, it can literally get extremely painful.] Meditation sounds like a great idea, though~

[septim]

Even if it's not your primary weapon, magic offers an edge no other weapons can match. [ Ease-of-access, for one. ] It helps with channeling the magic that courses through your body. Control is...one of the more difficult aspects of magic to master.

[skirtcladgunner]

I get that impression. [A small laugh.]
