Eragon smiled then brought the young riders outside, [color=lightblue] " we will now begin to learn magic"[/color] Eragon said smiling and then began to launch into a lecture of magic. [color=lightblue] " Magic, properly known as gramarye, is the manipulation of energy. Users of gramarye have an innate power that allow them to use their energy, directed by thoughts though most people believed it was directed through spoken words, to manipulate the nature of the world. Casting a spell with magic costs as much energy as would be lost to do the task by mundane means. Magicians are able to also draw energy from their surroundings with the proper knowledge, though few knew of this. Dragon Riders use the gems in their weapons as stores of energy. Dragons, as well as other magicians, can supplement a spellcaster's strength when needed. "[/color] Eragon said. He then demonstrated magic by taking out a glass ball and transformed it to a glass ring and then to silver. [color=lightblue]" I will now explain the nature of magic"[/color] he said then took a breath before continuing [color=lightblue] " Magic is the art of thinking, as my father Brom mentioned a true master of gramarye can use the word for "water" and create something that appeas to be entirely unrelated, such as a gemstone, though the relation would be clear in their mind. Such an accomplishment would be completed by taking the similarities between water and a gemstone and using them as a focal point. A magic user's abilities are limited by their knowledge of the Ancient Language: the smaller their vocabulary, the fewer feats of magic they are able to perform, or so was the common misconception. In truth, a spellcaster's abilities are limited only by their inventiveness: the smarter the spellcaster, the more they can accomplish with one word plus what they can do without the structure of the Ancient Language. As explained by my teacher Oromis, sound itself has no control over magic. Most magic users, however, continue to speak words aloud, ensuring that stray thoughts do not disrupt the spells they cast. "[/color] he finishes. He then smiles and leans against Sapphira [color=lightblue] " your first exercise will be one my teacher Oromis gave me , you will meditate and reach out to sense living things, this is a tedious process but is essential in how riders learn magic"[/color] with that said Eragon then dismissed everyone to do the assignment.
