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.

Glorfindel watched for a few moments. "Nice combination effect, you work on general fitness and your aim!" He smiled at her, then his eyes lit up.

"Want to see what I learned to do yesterday?" he asked. "I've been working with Piccolo on learning to focus. I am so excited to show you!"

[les_magique]

"Ah..."

She dropped the coconut she'd been about to throw back into the pile. "I suppose. What did you have in mind?"

[laurefindil]

Glorfindel beckoned her over to where they were standing about 50 yards from a target. "See that? I can now set it on fire. From here."

This was not an innate skill, but one he'd had to practice and meditate on, and he figured that if anyone could appreciate the hard work that had gone into figuring this out, it would be her.

"Want to see?" he asked.

[les_magique]

"Yes? Yes."

What a curious thing to say. Samata stepped back, interested in what he was going to do next.

He grinned at her, then, as he had before, Glorfindel took a deep breath to calm and center, He didn't have to try as hard when he was practicing on his own, but when he was trying to show it to someone whose opinion he respected, he had to calm his excitement.

He closed his eyes for a moment as he drew one hand down in front of his chest, as if gathering something. There was a shimmer in the air above and around his hand as he did so.

His eyes opened and his hand snapped forward as if throwing something. Moments later, the wooden target went up in blue flame and the sand immediately around it melted into a large puddle of glass.

Glorfindel grinned at her. "What do you think? Piccolo suggests making it flashier."

[les_magique]

"Wow. I think it's PLENTY flashy."

She was staring at the puddle of glass on the beach. How had he DONE that? Obviously, Glorfindel had an enormous reserve of magic to work with, but the actual technique was of great interest to her.

She grabbed her glasses from a bag she had that was doing duty as a purse and threw them on her face so she could watch the exactly flow of magic and said "Do it again!"
