[color=A887B2]“I suppose it would be in our best interests for me to educate Kaito on magic to the best of my ability then.”[/color]

The purple-haired cleric mused a few thoughts as she looked at Kaito grasp a basic light spell before she had even gotten a chance to fully explain how mana worked in the creation of spells. As a Cleric of the Goddess of Light, Ipharia was a healer and diviner. She didn’t have much in lieu of advanced spells and Ipharia wasn’t sure that Kaito was properly [i]attuned[/i] to use some of the more advanced, clerical-type spells she knew. The best she could teach him was universal spells, which were not too great outside of baseline utility. The matters of the arcane were tricky, after all. 

[color=A887B2]“As you may have guessed, I don’t have a lot of offensive spells. I was running from goblins, after all. My clerical denomination is of protection and healing, and most of those spells require being attuned to my god. Though... I might know some universal spells that might fit the role even if they aren't particularly strong.”[/color]

The girl cleared her throat.

Ipharia was not used to [i]teaching[/i]. She wasn't suited to it, or at least, she had never done any sort of clerical instruction from anywhere beyond the student's chair. But insofar as she could tell, she was going to have to begin to be one if Kaito was going to become comfortable with his newfound abilities. His world did not have magic, yet the gods had gifted him with the ability no wizard or cleric had in the entire realm, or at least none Ipharia had ever heard of. Processing magic quickly was one thing, but without understanding magic and creating it in mere seconds? Ipharia was impressed by Kaito's boon from the gods.

[color=A887B2]“So, magic is both simple and complicated. We as humans have been experimenting with the concept of magical science since the end of the Tenebrisic Period, which was around, uhm, one-thousand years ago. Give or take. Since this time we’ve kind of learned how to perform magical equations to create spells. Magic is divided into two categories, though both categories require us to use mana to create a magical reaction.”[/color] 

She motioned to the plants before placing her leftmost hand on her bare right forearm, trying to use her hands as a way to explain things.

[color=A887B2]“Mana is like blood, its in everything and everyone. So, you can draw mana from your own body or from a plant or object. Once you do that its just about using your potent imagination, divine incantations, and other source codes to make a spell happen. For example, a sphere of light is pretty simple. It's just about doing the right motions and thinking the right thoughts and then forging your mana into an arcane source of light. There's no incantations required for a novice spell-caster, though when I was new I admit I did need them.”[/color]

After she was finished with her brief explanation, she paused her motions as she looked from Hiroko to Honami before returning back to Kaito. It was in this moment that she wished she could just create a portal to the Librarium of Magic in the capital, the books and elder academics could explain this all better than she could ever do. She felt like an awkward student trying to explain magic to a foreigner from a far land. In many ways, that was exactly what she was, she supposed.

She thought of the responsibility the goddess had granted her and tried to not let it discourage her.

[color=A887B2]“It's impressive that you can just absorb knowledge like this. All of you. I imagine my language must have come to you like you had known it for years if you are able to weave magic and skill this quickly.”[/color]
