Slow progress was progress, but it was her most disliked form of progress. As she once again, unsuccessfully managed to cast a spell and feeling a strain in the back of her mind Ash rapped her claws against the stone floor impatiently. Gah! There had to be some way to expedite the process! She'd just need to figure out something else to test it on. If she could observe magic directly being used again, it would likely make her life so much easier. Reoths question didn't help her growing levels of impatience and annoyance either. [color=598527][i]"Because,"[/i][/color] She began in a mildly impatient manner. [color=598527]"A: We have MP, B: Everything else in this cave seems capable of using it on some level, so we should certainly be able too. Simple logic. I just need to...work at it a bit."[/color] Turning her attention briefly to Colchain to make sure he hadn't run off or anything, she once again focused on the task at hand. With Dany seemingly having flitted off somewhere, she was left alone to figure things out for herself. [color=598527]"I would appreciate no further interruptions. If you want, try doing the same as Danny suggested if you're interested."[/color] Reoth could likely continue to talk if he wanted, but she didn't seem to be in a very talkative mood now that she was focused on work. For the rest of the night, Ash would practice with these various spells unless interrupted. Healing, Lesser Force, and Mana Orb. Lesser force would be easy enough to start with. Using this 'Force' to move objects was simple in theory. All one had to do was somehow exert this will as physical force. It seemed easier than the Healing spell, so she had to wonder why? Perhaps it had something to do with the nature of Magic in the first place? Maybe Lizards simply were suited to healing people. Hm. Either way, until she was interrupted again or succeeded in using 'Lesser Force' she wasn't going anywhere else or sleeping. [hider=Inventory] [i]Throat Pouch:[/i] - 5x empty slots.
