Step one: New life [Initiate Druidism]

[Basaerial]

Timestamp: 7th brightening in the month of Immanis in the season of Spring

Basaerial had made told the Rangers only a few brightenings ago that he didn’t believe that he was capable of meeting their expectations and didn’t want to burden them any longer. He was also truthful about telling them that he longed to nurture Natura and didn’t feel as though he would be a good protector of it as the Rangers were. That is why he was here now at the druidic grove learning to become a druid.

He was nervous, this would be his first time with arcane and he wasn’t fully sure what to expect but he was ready to at least hear about it and make his decision. Things made him more nervous as the nude Dryad made her way towards him. It was a strange sight to behold, and though she was naked which usually threw the poor elf into a fit of inner disgust this was somehow tasteful. Perhaps it was the flowers that appeared to be growing in her hair, Basaerial was only slightly taller than the lady, by an inch.

”Serale, you must be Basaerial for I have never seen you around here” she said looking at the elf, though he had the feeling she was looking right past him. She bore a smile and sounded pleasant to the ears which made Basaerial a little more comfortable though he was still a feeling awkward about the nudeness. In some ways he was starting that he might not fit in here as well, but he noticed not everyone was like this.

”Serale, you are correct. Are you going to be my instructor?” Basaerial asked his common more chopped up than usual from his discomfort.

”Instructor? No, I don’t like that word. Think of me more as…a guide. Here to help you do what it is that you want to do. Please Basaerial, tell me what it is that you want to do. I understand that you have left the Rangers to join us here at the grove. Why is that?” She asked, her voice sounding far off to the elf.

It took him a few moments to reply, but when he did he told her ”I believe that being a druid is more right for me than being a protector of Natura. I do like to help people and try to as much as possible but my heart isn’t with them as much as it is with plants, and animals…just nature in general. I am here to help Natura become a more beautiful place, to help it’s growth. I know that this will take time but as I continue to learn I will be better able to help with the growth. I hope that is what you druids are about, for that is what I heard it said”

The dryad smiled as her finger touched the cheek of Basaerial for a split second ”You have indeed come to the right place if that is your goal. We; the druids, are here to help with the nurturing of Natura. We are not as much fighters as the Rangers and so I hope that you will enjoy it here. If you at any point have any questions or concerns please just ask or tell and I will do the best that I can to assist you. Now please tell me do you have any experience with arcane?” she asked.

”I am afraid I do not. I will be truthful with you and that I am rather nervous about becoming a mage.” he admitted to his guide.

”Many people are, don’t worry, I will not teach you and spells or show you the world of arcana until you are comfortable with the theory and are sure that this is what you want to do. I promise you that.”

[Basaerial]

”If you have any questions yet please let me know…” she asked as she watched Basaerial who was silent for a few moments then slowly shook his head. ”Alright then, I think we will start off with the basics then…

Since we are working with druidism, I think that it is best that I first tell you that it is Nature magic incase you hadn’t already known. This means that we will rely on what nature provides us with and utilize it with as little harm as possible. Nature is considered the essence of Druidism and which you will call upon once you begin to cast spells. However before that time you need to have a firm understanding of very key things in arcana. First of all Ara. Ara is the energy that surrounds everything. We walk threw it every brightening, everything we see is surrounded by it. This cannot be used alone though, we have to also project our own personal Vis into spells.

Vis is the energy that is found within yourself. You have to call upon this energy from within’ yourself and therefore it is limited by your skills. When these two energies meet it creates a magical reaction which is also known as arcalysis. Of coarse the only way to interact with any of these energies it to first be unbound. This is simply unlocking your mind to allow you sight to these via meditation. Once you have achieved a meditative state then you will come into a state known as Clara. The actual spell shaping is also called Mana shapping . Do you have any questions now?”

Basaerial thought for a moment before remember hearing the term that he hadn’t recognize and hadn’t been explained. ”Could you please clarify what this ‘unbound’ means as I am not sure”

The dryad smiled a childish smile ”Ah yes, I was getting to that. When you are born it is almost as if you are…blinded from seeing the arcanic world. This is not just for you, but even races that are tied very closely to magic are. When one is unbound it is similar to pulling away a sheet in a dark room. Everything will appear the same at first, though when you meditate you will be able enter the world of clara and see the binds of vis and ara as well as the plane of arcane that you are using. In our case the nature plane and call upon all of these things. Has that satisfied your question?”

”Yes it has thank you” the elf said listening intently. There was much more to arcane than he had originally believed there to be. The way some people went on it would have appeared as though it were simply casting spells but now he understood that there was much more behind it. Everything had a purpose it seemed and there was an explanation for everything…thus far.

”There are different ways of casting a spell as well. There are different elements to the spell that take place” She said as she started walking in no real set direction though it was obvious that she expected Basaerial to follow or miss out on some of the lesson. She handed him a sheet of parchment that he hadn’t noticed she had. ”Please read this, it should help. Again, if you have any questions about anything just ask me.”

The elf opened up the parchment and read slowly as his reading in common wasn’t the best. He wasn’t rushed however by the dryad as she walked around with Basaerial loosely beside her.

Secrets : Abjuration This technique is used to give energy into or through an object, person, location or environment. The energy is given in a slower, but more detailed way. Therefore it is usually used where energy is needed for creation or healing. It is usually used to create a long lasting effect rather than an instant one. Abjuration is most commonly used with spells that shape plants by giving them energy to grow or change, heal wounds by giving them power to recover or change weather, such as strengthening rain into a storm for a longer duration. Alteration This technique is used for shaping, changing and giving form or when creating a texture, volume, distribution, scope, focus or dispersion of energy. It is usually used when plants or body parts are forced to change into a different form or shape, when bending a branch, hardening the skin or when spreading energy into a certain field. Conjuration This technique is primary used for creation, where energy is turned into something material, when energy changes complexity of form or when summoning things from the Astral Plane. It is usually used when an object changes completely, skin gets scales or fur, mana changes into poison or when a creature such as fireflies or an object like pollen are called from the Nature Plane to appear in the Material. Divination This technique is used when interfacing with the mind, the senses, perception, thoughts and mental concentration. It is usually used when communicating with animals by giving them certain feelings or even direct commands, going into their minds or acquiring their senses. Due to sentient beings having too little Essence of Nature or a mind which is too strong, the previous does not seem to work on them. Since the technique is used when dealing with senses and perception, it is also used for spells, when spotting or locating beings or when connecting something to the mind. Evocation This technique is used, when bringing energy into the Material, immediately creating an effect, without the need for greater detail. Usually it causes damaging effects, where the energy simply explodes or destroys. It is usually used to create an instant effect rather than a long lasting one. It is used with such spells that create poisons or diseases, where it does not matter that it hurts ‘correctly’ or how the wound turns out, just that it does happen, the faster and the more powerful the better. It is also used with weather spells to give them more, but less predetermined and more instant power.

[Basaerial]

”I will now talk to you about meditation, though you cannot try it in the sence of achieving what is called Clara…not yet anyway. If you don’t have a question” she asked. She gave Basaerial the chance any time to ask a question but she understood how hard it was to just break out into a question for some people. If she asked then people were more willing to open up.

The elf thought for a few seconds then a small smile crept up into his face. He had been rushed along so much that he nearly even forgot that this information hadn’t been given to him. ”Yes, there is one question that I have that I am a little embarrassed about asking. But, what is your name?” He wasn’t accustom to asking this question as he usually waited until someone introduced themselves or not knowing ones name at all. However this time he felt compelled to ask or she might have forgotten and he would never know.

She smiled and let out a small laugh ”But of coarse, I cannot believe I forgot. My name is H'annaeryth and it is a pleasure.” He expected her to hold out her hand but she didn’t she just continued to walk around the grove. ”Is there anything else? … Well then, I shall explain to you the process of Meditation and how it is used in not only druidism, but in all manners of arcane. It is the art of clearing your mind and allowing the world around you to be seen. There are several ways to do this and it is up to the individual to find what works best for them. It may take some time and in fact you may not even reach that state this brightening and may have to wait until the next. Do not worry, it isn’t a race and you will get there in your own time. It would be much easier if I were to show you but I do not want you to feel rushed s it would require me to unbind you. Is that something that you are comfortable with at this time?”

This took the elf a lot longer to consider, he was nervous but he also trusted his guide. He enjoyed walking in silence as he thought about his answer hands out touching any pants nearby. Finally he nodded slowly ”I believe that I am ready.”

”If you are sure” he said stopping in her tracks and smoothly sitting down on a rock. ”Please, have a seat in front of me. Try and relax. It is not at all uncommon to have strange and even sometime scary illusions during the unbinding process, please just try and relax”

Basaerial did as he was told and sat down in the grass. It was still wet from the winter snow that was leaving but dry enough not to worry about it. He closed his eyes and felt a hand on top of his head. If he had his eyes open however he would notice that no hand was actually touching his head.

The elf sat there for what seemed to be half a candlemark. He opened his eyes ready to confess to his instructor that he didn’t think it worked found his mouth sown shut and his hands tied out in front of him. The room around him was made of cold looking rock, and the worst thing was people were walking by continually shaking his head. Every hand sweatier and dirtier then the last one. There was nothing he could do about it, he was tied and had his mouth closed shut. Everything seemed so real, forgetting he must have been in a dream the elf tasted vomit in his mouth that he couldn’t spit out.

What came next however was just as bad, suddenly several elfish girls were lined up, all eating very juicy apples causing the liquid to pour onto their lips. There must have been 12, all leaning in taking their turns kissing the helpless elf. He tasted it again, the exact same feel that his first kiss had been. He wanted to cry out, to make it stop but there was nothing that he could do. Then everything went dark…

[Basaerial]

”I believe you are done” came the familiar voice, though Basaerial didn’t see anything for a few seconds even after opening his eyes. Then slowly the darkness faded and he seen his guide standing before him with a smile and a leaf of water. ”Here take this. Sometimes it is quite stressful being unbound, there are the rare few who have pleasant visions. Don’t worry, they don’t mean anything as far as been found out” she said watching as Basaerial took a slow drink of the water sitting up. ”I’ll give you a few minutes, please tell me when you are ready to continue”

The elf took those few minutes to breathe and relax. He tried not to reflect too much on his dream but he couldn’t help it, the kiss had affected him more than he than he had thought. He no longer wished to find the right girl and make a family with her. The prospect sickened him now more than anything. The kiss he had be given was too much for him to handle.

After a few minutes he told H'annaeryth”I am ready now.” He then dropped the now empty leaf on the ground and started to stand. The druid however had other plan and so motioned for him to continue sitting.

”Good, good. Now remember what I told you about Meditation and try it now please. Remember there is no hurry let it come to you. If you try and force it you will never reach the state of clara You will know once you are there, now please try and relax and remove as many feelings and thoughts out of your head as you can.

Basaerial sat leaning back slightly his arms behind him and closing his eyes. It was difficult at the start to lose even one thought, however as he began he was able to concentrate more and more causing thoughts to leave his mind. Eventually even the cold was not longer piercing at his skin begging for him to find warmth. He was still cold but he paid no attention to it.

Then he was overwhelmed with the power that was all around him, he could feel it and see how small he was to it all, however he could feel that he would be able to use it to his own advantage. Had he been keeping track of time he would realize that it took him over a candlemark to reach this state but at least he reached it and was now able to see everything around him.

”You see now, the ara that surrounds everything and even the vis that is inside of you. That is yours to call upon and are free to do so though it is also the source of a casters weakness. For that is what is limited. You have to gain a tolerance to build up your Vis pool. I would like you to draw the ara around you into you and mix it with your vis to create the reaction of arcalysis” he was told

Slowly he began to concentrate, he wasn’t sure how to do this but he visualized himself as gravity pulling everything towards him. The ara slowly began to come his way as he extended outwards his vis to mix with the ara. It was a slow process but the more he concentrated the quicker he felt the ara mixing with his vis then finally the creation of arcalysis.

”Good good. Now that you have reached Arcalysis you mind is now able to ascend truly into the astral plane. In order to cast a spell you must channel the essence of nature. Once that has mixed with the vis and ara weaves that you have created it will create another reaction turning it into mana. It is with mana that you can shape your spells. Please try to channel the essence.” Basaerial was again left with no information on how to do so.

He concentrated on the essence imaging the mix of Ara and Vis pulling it into it and slowly it did. Slowly mana was created and Basaerial could feel the power in this, a power which he wielded now without knowing fully what to do with it.

[Basaerial]

In the first spell that I am going to impart on you, you will be using the Conjuration technique. What you are going to do is use the mana that you have now and create it into a sphere of fireflies. They will seem real in every aspect however when you are done with it the fireflies will turn back into energy. This Spell is called Globe of Fireflies and the name describes the spell perfectly. It will allow you to see in the darkness via a globe of fireflues. Now concentrate” H'annaeryth instructed.

The elves eyes were closed to the material plane, but he could see everything from where he was though since his mind was new to the dimension he was looking at he didn’t fully understand everything. However he understood the task that was set out in front of him. He felt something in the back of his mind as if guiding him with the spell. At first he was confused but then he realized that it must have been the imparting of the spell. It didn’t do the work for him, only gave him the outline on what to do.

Concentrating on the manna the best that he could he imagined it splitting up in half, then that group in half, and that one in half and so-on until there were enough of these fireflies that could light his way. He whispered wordlessly to the mana that he has created for it to stay in a sphere and light his way as fireflies. He could see a difference, slowly and one by one with the mana that was created.

He then opened his eyes and seen that before him was a sphere with several fireflies in it flying around but staying in the sphere size that he had imagined. At first the elf shot his hand under it as if he thought it was going to fall but it didn’t. It didn’t move until the elf took a step forward and it moved in the same direction at the same distance it had been. He was left alone for a few moments to play with his spell.

Whispering again in his mind, silent to the material plane he asked the sphere to raise above his head and slowly it did just that much to Basaerial’s enjoyment.

”You seem to have the hang of it”The guide told her student in a low voice not wishing to break his concentration. ”However even though you may need a spell for the moment doesn’t mean that it will last forever. To make it much easier on yourself there is also a way of deconstructing spells known as dispel. It is similar to doing things the way that you created the spell only backwards. You do not call the energies towards you rather you try to take them apart. Please try this now”

Basaerial closed his eyes so that he could better concentrate and he seen the spell that he had created in front of him. ‘Dispel’ he commanded silently ordering the energies to break away slowly from their mana state. He watched as the Vis, Ara, and the essence of nature returned back to where he put it then opened his eyes again to see that nothing was in front of him. A smile crept up on the elves face as he see he had done two things right so far.

[Basaerial]

”I believe that you are ready for your next spell. This one is rather exciting if I do say so myself! It is called Forest calm. It uses Divination to help others, as well as yourself to feel the calming effects of nature. It will help you and others fall asleep, meditate or calm down after being stressed. With this spell people will hear many different things, sometime it’s birds chirping, other times it’s leaves bowing in the wind sometimes however it is nothing. Whatever the person would find calming in nature they will hear and sometimes even smell. I am imparting this spell in you now and would like for you to try it, if you are not too tired.”

In his mind Basaerial could feel the spell making its way into his head. He didn’t fully understand this process but he was glad it was there to help him. He didn’t think this spell would be too hard for him, he had lived, and still lives, I the woods for his entire life. He knew the calming effects it had without being purely magical.

Reentering the world of Clara again completely he began doing as he had before, mixing Vis and Ara together with the help of the essence of nature to create mana. Once he had the mana created he took a few moments, he concentrated on his memories of the woods going into the mana that he was keeping moving to be sure it took all of his senses of nature and calming into it fully.

Once he had all of his feelings placed into the ball of mana he mentally threw it into the air over his head feeling it act as a beacon surrounding him causing everyone in a close proximity as well as himself feel calm. To Basaerial he could hear the wind blowing in the grass as if he were laying beside it in the summer time. He opened his eyes once he was done and could smell the sweet smell of dew wet grass in the morning. Not that the elf wasn’t usually calm anyway but this put him in a sleepy state of calm where he just wanted to lay around.

”Very good. There is no need to dispel that, it is nice to walk around and fell the spell around you as well as around others . Go ahead and go home, that is enough for the brightening. I think unbinding and casting three spells in a day would be a little much. Oh and before I forget to tell you, you can also use divination to have the fireflies actually come to you.” She smiled at the elf before standing up and walking away.

[Basaerial]

The next brightening Basaerial made his way back to the druid grove as he had the other brightening. He had went home and slept as did his companion his dog. On this brightening however H'annaeryth had been waiting for him at the beginning of the grove from the way that he had entered on the first brightening. She was nude as she was before but slowly Basaerial was getting more and more used to it and his disgust faded into simple tolerance. At least she hadn’t yet touched him, and for that he silently thanked her.

”Serale Basaerial, I trust that you slept well last darkening?” she asked knowing full well what the answer was. The spell that she had taught him, forest calm was a good one indeed to learn before you go home. It often sent people into pleasant dreams even after the spell had worn out.

”Yes I did, very well. Thank you for teaching me that spell, I as well as my companion enjoyed it last night very much.” he informed his guide. ”My companion is a little puppy that I have acquired recently. I have no mind to practice anything else on her though. I want her to have her own free will and not enjoy my company because she has to, but because she wants to” he confessed hoping that she didn’t take any offence to it.

”That is noble indeed” the Dryad smiled and continued ”Some people would abuse the skill set that they have with Druidism to constantly keep animals into doing what they want them to do. There are different believes even though we all fall within the same sphere and teachings. Are you ready now?”

”Thank you, and yes I am” Basaerial answered as the two made their way into the grove a little further. He was a little surprised at himself for he didn’t often offer so much information without being asked. Once the two were in the center of the grove H’annaeryth sat down as did Basaerial so the two were facing one another.

”Hmm” she said thinking out loud. ”I think I will teach you three spells this brightening depending on your energy level after the first two. The first I would like to teach you is called Pollen. You will hear this term used differently by different people, druids from other areas use this as a spell to effect their opponents as a sort of attack. However, we use it differently and to benefit nature around us. You will need to use the technique Conjuration to create pollen and seeds and have them fall into the ground. Please start meditating now”

He knew now that the time for talking was done as he began to relax, he controlled his breathing. The process happened much quicker this time, not fast but also not a VERY long amount of time either. Once he was in the world of Clara he called upon the ara around him and projected his personal Vis to mix with it. He then called forth the essence of nature to mix with the two slowly making sure that what he was doing was stable.

Once the mana was created he had done what he had done with the globe of fireflies. He began splitting the mana into pieces, first in half, then those into half until he had a about a dozen. He knew from the spell being imparted into his mind that he had to concentrate on the type of plant that he wanted these seeds to be. He wasn’t sure, but he could see the Ara around him and fed off of that so that these plants would fit in with everything else in the area and hopefully add to the beauty.

He then willed the seeds/pollen to become real and follow him to the material world and they did. When he opened his eyes he seen the few seeds falling blowly slightly away by the wind and landing in the ground. They seemed to soak into the ground as to be planted.

”That is amazing” Basaerial said moving slightly so he was near to one of the seeds that had fallen near to him.

”Just wait until your next spell”

[Basaerial]

The dryad was grinning from ear to ear as she spoke ”This spell you can use to accompany this spell, or plant seeds that are already plants, or that you are planting. Or in truth any time that you need water. This spell is called create water. It is just as the name says, creating water. You use Alteration to summon the mist that is around everywhere to form a small amount of fresh water. Use the water that you are going to create to water the seed that you are close to.”

Basaerial closed his eyes and returned back to the work of clara where he began to once again to the majestic dance of gather vis and ara as well as retrieving the essence of nature from the astral plane and making them all together. He felt the imparting in his head helping him guiding him in a way. He concentrated on the air that he was breathing, feeling the slight dampness until he could ‘see’ the small mist that filled the area in it’s magical form. With his mana he told to summon the mist as if the wind was blowing it towards him.

As the mist came and gather Basaerial could feel his spell working and then summoned it to the material world with him after telling it to water his seed. When he opened his eyes there was a small amount of water and an almost transparent cloud floating in front of him. When he gave the silent word the water fell from the cloud and onto the seed lightly.

”Very good. This spell is very dependent on the area that you are in. If you are in a very damp area, like it is here now because of spring then the spell will work nicely. However if you were to ever go to the desert you would have a much harder time and might not get the spell off at all, or at least within a decent amount of time. Keep these spells in mind, Alteration ones for they have factors that are seen, and sometimes unseen. Do you feel like you are ready for another spell?”

”I believe I can handle one more” Basaerial started a little out of breath. He could feel the fatigue from the spell casting start to burden him but it was too much to just give up now.

[Basaerial]

”Excellent” she smiled ”This spell goes along with the other two that you have learned this brightening. Like the others it can be used by it’s self as well. This one is called growth. We use the technique of Abjurinng to put energy from the nature plane into the plant. This spell is good and bad, you should only use it when you are absolutely sure that you can concentrate. The spell needs to be carefully implemented or it could cause the plant to shrivel up and die if there is no water. Also, if put in too quickly to the plant it could cause parts of it to grow too big too fast. “

Basaerial swallowed. The concept of this made him very nervous, so far he had done well with his arcane happenings but this one would be very important to get right. If he messed this up then he would really damage something and it might not be able to be fixed. He was determined that he could do it though, he wasn’t yet so tired that he wouldn’t be able to manage. At least…he hoped that was the case. ”I understand” he said lowly looking at the dirt where the seed was that he had planted.

He knew this one because he has watched it as it fell, it was nothing special to most, only a Yarrow plant. He did this spell with his eyes open but it wasn’t the world that he seen so much as it was the astral projection of it even with his eyes open. He began doing the things that he was getting more and more comfortable with – making mana. The impartment of the spell helped him along as he pictured the plant slowly growing before his eyes while he did so.

Then slowly, very slowly he allowed the mana to go into the seed, filling it slowly until it sprouted out. He could see it poke gently out of the ground threw his clara vision as he made sure that the mana went through the plant evenly at all points. However he noticed that the top was getting a little to much which made the plant grow faster there and start to bend. Slowly as to not over excite the plant he willed the mana to stop going there until everything was equal.

Once he felt the plant was fully grown he released his mind from clara and looking at the plant only from the view that his eyes gave him with a smile. He was very proud of what he had done and one look on his face showed it.

His guide smiled also and told him ”That was done very well. You seen your mistake and you fixed it. There will be times when you cannot do that, maybe not with this but with other things. When that time comes try not to be to hard on yourself. You may return home for the brightening and tomorrow we shall meet here again”

Basaerial and her said their farewells but he stuck around for a little, touching and smelling the plant that he created.

[Basaerial]

The brightening had been far different from the rest already. H'annaeryth had been sitting in the same spot that she had helped Basaerial in yester-brightening however this time she had something beside her in a cage. The elf wasn’t sure what it was until he sat down across from the naked woman. When he peered into the cage he seen that it contained a small cat. It looked scared and frightened but aggressive none the less. It hissed aloud at Basaerial and tried to scratch him.

There was also something else that the elf noticed about the cat, on its side was a scratch, it wasn’t deep. If he had to guess he would say that it looked like it had run into a rose bush. Before he could ask anything H’annaeryth started speaking. ”Serale. I am sure that you are curious as to why I have this small feline with me this brightening. It seems that luck, in an almost sick way, has allowed me to have the cat for your lesson. Like the brightening before this one I am hoping that you will be able to use three spells. If not than I can finish up so do not feel pressured. Are you ready, or do you have any questions?” Basaerial shook his head still a little confused. ”Good then. The next spell that you are going to use is called Animal Empathy. It helps to delve into the innerworkings of the animal and uncover the area affected by disease or other external damaging factors. In this case it is obvious however I want you to see if you can find it this way.”

Basaerial nodded closing his eyes as he began to meditate. Once he reached Clara he began mixing Vis and Ara together the way that he had been taught and had been doing for the last few brightenings. He also created the reaction arcalysis and pulled the essence of nature into the spell as well. He felt the guidance of the impartment as he began to weave the mana into a spell. This one was much like the last one he had learned. He concentrated on it going into the cat and filling it’s entire body then sending the messages back to him.

It took a few moments for the spell to complete but once it did he could feel the gash that was on the side of the cat and he nodded his head.”I can feel it, almost as if it were on me only there is no actual pain to me. I feel that it annoys the cat though” Basaerial confessed.

”Good, you have done that successfully then. It will help you many times I am sure, if you are in the woods. As will the next two spells I am about to teach you” a smile came across the dryads face as she continued.

[Basaerial]

”For your next lesson is to keep the cat calm, actually turn it into your friend despite its fear at the moment. This is called Befriend Animal. Using Divination you are going to call upon the spirits of warmth and reassurance that animals have. Often times it is the mother of the animal however it can vary depending on the animal. You can do it however you like” she instructed and Basaerial felt the spell impart on him. He still found it a curious feeling but shrugged it of as it was obviously normal.

He left his other spell where it was as he could use it easily to assist this one. He began to weave Vis, Ara and the essence of Nature together again to create what he desired, mana. This time he charged the mana with familiarity to the small cat. He told the mana to all the cat to have a feeling of trust as though he were the cats mother. He concentrated on his own feelings towards his mother as well. Dependence for some time relied on mothers of all things. The care that a mother took of it’s child. All of these were put into what Basaerial created ad allowed it to enter the cat via the scratch.

He found it easier that way, the blood sent it through the animals body quicker than he would have done it alone. Thanks to his previous spell he was able to pinpoint the area with ease. Slowly he watched as the mana began to its way to the cats head. He opened his eyes to see that the cat was now calm and looking up at him nicely. The Dryad opened the cage door and the cat walked over to Basaerial and sat upon his lap purring gently.

Basaerial reached down and pet the back of its head lightly. ”Now, do you feel ready for one more spell?” he was asked and nodded his head. He had guessed at what that spell might be, and he guessed that it had to do with healing the cat somehow from the scratch that it had on its side. He was ready.
