[color=aba000][h2]Professor Admas Alemu (Spellmaking)[/h2][/color] The teacher tried not to be angry at the students arriving late, mostly because then she would be constantly angry at the students. [color=aba000]"I see... that saying the class starts at 10 AM means most people wake up a that time and only then get to class."[/color] she whispered to herself. [color=aba000]"Its fine... its fine... I will JUST drink my tea and wait."[/color] and she did exactly that, making herself some green tea on the spot with a fire spell. She gave the students plenty of time to arrive, letting everyone sit. It was a diverse crowd, that was for sure, people from all over the land seemed to end up here. She took a deep breath. [color=aba000]"Well, once again, welcome everyone. Today the topic of our class will be when to manipulate with magic and when to summon with magic. We will be doing some exercises so you understand when to use each tool.[/color] She extended her hands to the side, palms up, they shone bright, mini-tornadoes forming in each hand. It was impressive with how much ease she could perform both spells. [color=aba000]"To my right there is a wind spell manipulating the air to create a vortex, to my left there is a wind spell to summon the air for such vortex. Standing up close, you can see that the right one sucks in a lot of air while the left one blows it out."[/color] To make sure the demonstration stuck with the students, she moved her hands close to the many student's face, causing papers to fly, hairs to go messy as it was blown away or worse, sucked into the the tornado. [color=aba000]"Now, if we change the element to fire, you might notice the effect is the complete opposite."[/color] she closed her hand calling off the wind and opened it again. [color=aba000]"In the wind spell, the summoned one was the most stable, yet with fire the effect changes! Manipulation of fire requires fuel, so you can control beforehand the spell potency, with summoned fire however, you are one sneeze from unleashing hellfire as it requires no fuel to intensify and spread. Its a great tool for masterful mages, but often the end of the career of many newcomers.[/color] She played around with her fingers, causing the summoned flame to change in colors as she did so, first to blue then to green and finally to pure red. [color=aba000]"Fantastic. Now I want you kids to try it. Use the same spell concept but alternating between summoned and manipulated elements."[/color] [hr] [color=fdc68a][h2]Professor Celia Reed (Alteration)[/h2][/color] The teacher nodded and smiled as the students started their practice. To avoid having to reply to students who were struggling with the spell, she had infused magical crystals into the molding clay which made the glass transformation spell almost surefire, something a keen student would notice if they looked at it closely. [color=fdc68a]"Yes, do get a little bit creative, it helps if you have a strong image in your mind when using a spell, just making a random clay mess will only make the work harder."[/color] the sphinx calmly walked among the tables looking at each student as they made their spells. She stopped at Sarah and smiled. [color=fdc68a]"Ah, you turned your arm into glass... That is perfect!"[/color] once again she went from distant and tired to excited. [color=fdc68a]"Please don't try to fix it yet, I want to see if the transformation carries over when you yourself transform into an animal! Then we can peek at the nature of your metamorphosis! It will be so exciting!"[/color] her lion tail wagged a bit, her eagle like eyes deeply focused into the new student. [@blackdragon]
