Energy/Spell Training Session, OTA

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel set out targets along a part of the beach away from the train (and facing away from the train, just in case). There were some things that were not practical to practice inside a small enclosed place, with squishy, easily damageable fellow passengers in it.

Like Najaran's spell card practice, or Energy manipulation practice, or full powered archery practice, to name just a few. He'd been practising with Piccolo on producing a ki blast, but was not confident in his control to try it on the Train.

But out here, in the wide open space of the island. It was game time.


You will find Glorfindel meditating near the target range, an unstrung bow by his side. Feel free to come talk to him or just come use the range.

"You certain about that?" Glorfindel asked. "Your other cards have them."

He considered what she said. "So, these are spells. Hm. Doesn't Cait Sith eat spells? Do you have him out when you practice to help siphon off some of the energy?"

"My creatures do. Pretty sure my sword and my shield don't. Living weapon does, but he's also a creature," she added.

At his suggestion, she blinked. A lot. "I... never thought about that...." she said, a bit stunned.

"In fairness there has not been much training time since he joined us,." Goligan pointed out. "Events have moved too swiftly, and we have rarely been with her Master in that time."

Glorfindel nodded. If she was sure, then that must be the case. It would be nice if the cards could be reasoned with, or asked to participate in the perfection of using them, but it had been just a thought.

"All right then!" Glorfindel grinned at them both. "Shall we give it a try? Or at least ask Cait Sith his opinion? If you could work on your delivery, without having to worry about the power, I'm thinking you may be able to make better progress. Perhaps you'll even be able to practice on the Train?"

[Come on, whip him out :D]

Re: Closed to Najaran

[najaran]

"Sure." Anything to put off getting yelled at. Cait Sith's card flew to her hand and she summoned him.

The feline stretched without apparent use of arms, then trotted right over to Glorfindel for pets, as are his due.

Re: Closed to Najaran

Glorfindel liked Cait Sith, so he immediately obliged. Actually, he liked all of Najaran's card friends. He grinned at the feline as he scritched his ears. "Want to have some fun with us?"

He'd let Najaran do the actual invitation of course. They were her cards and this was her fight, so to speak.

Re: Closed to Najaran

[najaran]

"Sure, meow. Whatcha got in mind?" Cait Sith asked.

"His plan," Naja said quickly, dumping it back in hid lap.

Re: Closed to Najaran

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel half sighed, half laughed. "What Najaran is too bashful to ask you herself," he said, petting as he spoke, "is if you might assist as she practices her spell casting."

"Right now, the combination of her and the spell card are too strong, so she cannot maintain control very well. If you are willing, and able, of course, we'd like you to siphon off some of the spell power so she can wotk on her control...and aim." He stopped petting for a moment, so he could ask, "What do you think?"

Re: Closed to Najaran

[najaran]

"If they're attack spells and they're that strong, I have to get rid of the excess somewhere."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Najaran said sheepishly.

Re: Closed to Najaran

[laurefindil]

"Oh? And how do you do that?" Glorfindel asked. "How long can you store the excess before you have to get rid of it?" Now he was even more intrigued.

Re: Closed to Najaran

[najaran]

"A few minutes, meow, then a bunch of it repeats on me..."

"I... might have accidentally almost killed Zenith," Najaran admitted sheepishly. "Cait Sith absorbed his Tempest spell to keep everyone safe, but I had to aim him quick. It was hard missing him, and if he hadn't ducked he'd have gotten fried for sure," she said, regretfully.

Re: Closed to Najaran

[laurefindil]

"So...." Glorfindel thought about this, and frankly, he liked what he heard. "Instead of one massive over powered spell you cannot control...you can have Cait Sith absorb half of it, hopefully making your spell more controllable, then aim him, so making it two still powerful, but more useful spells?"

He looked at Goligan. "Think it could work?"

[ooc: You should have seen me describing this in my head. "Instead of "AAAAAAHhhhhH!!! (flail, flail, mess everywhere)", it would be "Aaah!!" followed by "Aaah!!"?" And yes, there were hand motions.]

Re: Closed to Najaran

[najaran]

(ROFL! I love it!)

Najaran stared at him wide eyed. Goligan considered, then said honestly "I... do not know."
