Too bad Eris' knowledge of it was so little that he would likely just embarrass himself if he ever put himself in a conversation with that at its topic. He'd have to find a way to use that to get him under his thumb one way or another. The thought almost made him groan--[i]another[/i] thing to add to his ever growing list of crap to do. Great stars above, it never ends. Oh well, life would get boring if he didn't have something to always do. Wait, what were they talking about? Oh, right, magic. Eris was vaguely aware of the majors (at least from what he remembered; he was [i]pretty[/i] sure some mage had bored him to tears on the subject but he couldn't remember anything for the life of him) and paused for a second to think. [color=ccff99]"I'm surprised you didn't just go for--"[/color] His hands clapped together before spreading apart. [color=ccff99]"--the quickest way to destroy something."[/color] Unless he wasn't as violent as Eris thought. The idea of the kid being all bark and no bite [i]did[/i] come to mind once or twice, but that would be kinda disappointing if he was honest with himself. He mulled over the two he decided on. He could still see Transmutation being more helpful in a tight spot, but whatever. [color=ccff99]"If you're going to get into professional dueling, I know you need a minimum requirement of certain Protection spells just to participate in some tournaments. They vary, of course, but enough vampires have bitched and moaned about it to make the officials take a stance on that,"[/color] He vaguely remembered someone telling him that. [color=ccff99]"I guess I'd question if having an impenetrable defense is worth it considering very little can get past metal anyway."[/color] [color=ccff99]"On the other hand, having different ways for offense titillates the mind and keeps things interesting,"[/color] He commented. [color=ccff99]"It'll probably get boring hurling different shapes of metal at people. Spicing it up seems more up your alley. But then you consider that you're left vulnerable if something ever does get past the metal...tough call."[/color] [/indent][hr] [sub][right]Blah blah blahing with [@Scribe of Thoth][/right][/sub]
