Kareet’s eyes all blinked as she looked ahead, listening in amazement. For a moment, she almost forgot to actually start taking notes. Harnessing non-magical lightning? And not only that, but the things she described them doing with it seemed impossible, were it not for the fact that she had seen it with her own eyes. Before now, she could not have even imagined lightning would be capable of such things. Having electricity [i]think[/i] by itself sounded absurd, but that object on her wrist was doing so right now. Besides, if there was Thought magic involved, the Inquisitors would currently have their knives at Itxaro’s throat. 

“You say lightning, electricity as you call it, can do all of this? Without even needing magic to shape it?” Kareet remarked. As Itxaro seemed to be speaking to someone else, through some means that she would have to ask about later, Kareet set aside her notes and books on the ground momentarily. She pressed two of her fingers against her opposite forearm, then ran them up towards her hand at a constant pace. Through the entire motion, a charge of electricity started to form around her fingers, arcing into the air around her arm. When her fingers moved past her other hand, the arcs of electricity became stronger, and stayed connected between her two hands. Kareet then rotated her hands, leaving one held out, palm-up, while the other she moved in a circular motion above it. The electricity disconnected from both hands, recognizably following magnetic field lines as she shaped a field to contain the lightning. The end result was what looked like a ball of lightning, contained within an invisible orb. 

“This is the…electricity you are talking about, yes? Could magic lightning possibly do the same things?” Kareet asked.
