[H2][center]Lazarus [/center][/h2] It was nice to just be able to sit and listen to one of his students again. The mage hadn't realized how much he missed them. It was certainly nice to hear that Misty was still going to her classes but the fighting comment was concerning. Musicians were expected to take on some dangerous missions and those who couldn't fight were a liability. Not that he thought Misty was a liability she was just...a late bloomer. As Barachiel offered Lazarus quirked the corner of his mouth to a smile. How the weather angle had survived the reign of Solus Grim when the chimera had been the combat instructor here was still a mystery to Lazarus. A thought struck the mage and he quietly relaxed into his essence sight and began assessing Misty discreetly with it. Her soul was still young and brilliant through the sight, and interestingly it had potential. A lot of potential. Letting go of his sight Lazarus let the angle finish before chiming in: “You have tried any of the introduction magic classes here have you?”. It was more statement than it was question as it was clear she hadn’t. “You absolutely have to work on your combat as its essential to your survival, but you could certainly work on your magic”. Some of the students at the Academy never developed magic beyond their instrument; part of it was due to a lack of ability but sometimes the students just never thought to try it. The Academy had no required class in basic magic application beyond fragment control. Lazarus taught, in addition to magical theory, history, and philosophy, he also taught intermediate application of magic, praticarum, and Higher Order application of magic. That being said he never got to work with the students who were just beginning. “It might be worth your time to look into it. You seem like you might have some potential for magic independent of your instrument.” [hr] [@BlackPanther][@Caits]
