[quote=Eklispe] Sol took deep breaths and went through his stances, he felt much calmer now. He focused on the massive tree in front of him and his arm flickered for a second and a cut bisected the tree causing it to crash down to the ground, Sol had a satisfied look and his face, he could confidently say his swordplay was peerless. Now the only thing he had to pratice was his wind magic, he could think of numerous fun applications with enough pratice. Then Sol noticed the lines on the ground that seemed to be part of some sort of ritual, he followed the lines untill he came to their source, Meruin. Sol walked up and asked "What kind of ritual are you casting? it looks very impressive." [/quote] Meruin looked up at Sol, unsurprising at him being here. The wards she set up around the forest alerted her to his presence a few minutes prior. She debated whether or not to answer his question. In the end, she decided to do so. There was no harm in telling him, as she wasn't planning on fighting, and the ritual was a 'just in case' measure - albeit a very big and powerful one. "It's a ritual I'm preparing just in case I get caught up in a fight," said Meruin, not looking up from the circle she was making, "It's called 'Pheonix Soul Parasite' - it's a fairly straightforward ritual that gathers expended energy from people, and turns it into a regeneration spell that I have constant access to. The spell range and potency is rather large, so it will take me awhile to finish this. I've already finished setting up the same ritual in the gymnasium, however."
