ENDLESS JOURNEYS (O/A)

[Nova Blancke]

"Very well. Wind it shall be, Show me what you can do." He replied.

"What about you Kerana?"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec raises his hand out and makes a little swirl of leaves at his feet. "That's about it. I focus more on my communion with nature and alchemy skills."  

[Nova Blancke]

When he saw Alec's....attempt at Wind Magic he just blinked a couple of times. But when he heard Kerana's answer he nearly lost it.

"Ahaha....you...both of you got a lot of work to do then." To Nova it appeared that these two were complete beginners at Magic. Just what the hell have they been taught at that University?

"Alchemy huh? Now that IS a nice skill to have. Alchemy doesn't get the credit it deserves. People only seem to focus on Blacksmithing these days." Nova said almost nostalgic. He remembered days when it was the other way around. Fuzzy images but he remembered. Nova stopped and made his hands into a cup. He began to focus Wind Mana. Just concentrating it in one spot. He intended to make a False Mana Crystal for Alec to use in order to speed up his....below average Wind Magic. This however took time. Even for a man who had an surreal amount of Mana. Slowly you could see a rugged white crystal being formed.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec felt some pride start to bubble up when Nova praised the importance of alchemy. Alec had always enjoyed the process of making one or several things into something useful, but he always seemed to be nearly alone in that sentiment.

He is broken out of his daze when Nova starts to do something with his hands. Alec moves in closer, his ears high up with excitement and curiosity.

"What're you making?"  

[Nova Blancke]

"Shhhhh...." Nova needed to concentrate. The rugged crystal began to grow. Increasing it's size to around the size of a grown man's finger digit.

"Feel it...sense what I am making for you." You could literately see flows of Wind Mana coiling around it as it grew.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec clammed up and stood by watching intently. He had an idea that Nova was making some sort of wind crystal, but he would wait for Nova to finish before giving making his idea vocal.  

[Nova Blancke]

As the process continued it doubled in size. After which Nova decided to call it quits. This was draining on him. Creating a False Mana Crystal is not something to be done on a whim. He breathed in deeply and let out a sigh.

"Been a while since I've had to make one of these.....forgot how much of a toll it takes on you." He said as he held it between his thumb and index finger while holding it up against the sun. After which he gave it to Alec.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec took the crystal gently. It pulsed in his hands, giving him a nice sensation of serenity.

"It's so...warm. This is some sort of crystal that houses wind mana, right?"  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Alec looked up at Kerana and stammered, "Nova just made it. I mean like, he willed it into existence."  

[Nova Blancke]

"It is a False Mana Crystal. A natural one has a much better quality but that does not mean you should underestimate False ones. You should use it for your training. By channeling Mana through a Mana Crystal you can create much stronger spells. I could have made it more powerful but I don't want you to create a Tornado and lose control of it. I think you can understand it."  

[Nova Blancke]

"It does. Thank you for your concern but I will be quite alright. Can't fight on full power but even that would be enough for most" Nova replied.
