1[17:27] The panther would enter, smiling to his wife some as he leans against the bookcase and takes out the notes he has upon the subject that she so generously would be teaching today.
2
3"Apoligies if I'm late dear..." was all he'd give as he remained silent and let the angel do her thing.
4(Kabu)
5--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6
7[17:30] Sumiye reaches into her bottomless bookbag, pulling out a notebook and quill. KAbu had the right idea.
8(Sumiye)
9--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10
11[17:34] The immaculate, inhumanly-perfect Atmosian-blooded is just casually flipping through her own notes - a rather thick volume with many additions, including a page that glows with a soothing, cool viridian light.
12
13That page isn't flipped to, however, and the white-feathered High Artificer eventually closes her notebook with a soft fwap! Her gold-stained gaze wanders over each student present, while the gentle, motherly thing's gold-lined hands slip notebook into her thick cloak!
14
15She'll speak softly to the group!
16
17"Hello, dears!
18
19I'm Magdalen Agnes Elisheva, High Artificer, Runeweaver, Soul Mage, Alchemical Researcher, Illyothian Technologist, Doctor! Among other things, mhm!
20
21One of which is pertinent today-
22
23Wayfinder!"
24
25Looking to the kiddos and not-so-kiddos, Magdalen will ask softly;
26
27"So, dears! I'd like to ask, before we start talking about my mother's art proper, you all to introduce yourself, if you feel comfortable to do so -
28
29And please include one fact about yourself that you'd like to share! Like a hobby or interest! Mhm."
30
31Despite her flawless, porcelain-skinned and gold-accented form's slightly difficult-to-approachness, the motherly thing's tone and soft, gentle gaze makes her out to feel a lot more comfortable and easy to relate and speak to! A bit of a clash of aesthetic and practice!
32(Magdalen Elisheva)
33--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34
35[17:35] Oh no, introduce herself? To all of these people? She sucked in her breath softly, shaking a little bit as she pondered how exactly she'd do such a thing. After all, there were so many- and she didn't know any of them except a few. Still... Magdalen said so, it must be alright.
36
37She pursed her lips, going to speak in a stammering tone,"Uhm- I'm... I'm Joan Declan! I-... I enjoy fishing sometimes." She then bowed her head down, hoping no one heard her stammer out those words. After all, she didn't want to make a huge fuss out of it.
38
39Her hands folded onto her lap, and she bit her lip trying to stay quiet.
40(Joan Caelum)
41--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42
43[17:37] Well, seeing that this was an actual class room, he looks to the left and right only to stand up. Arms within his blue-yellow cloak and a simple blink before he spoke clearly and honestly.
44
45“Yasuyoshi, Illuminated member, Fourfold soldier, and brother of Mi-“He paused immediately, simply sighing after.
46
47“And one thing I like to do is go roaming and killing people who harm others,” he lied. “I also enjoy making ramen noodles for guests at my house in Huangzhou.”
48(Yasuyoshi)
49--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
50
51[17:37] The boy too would take some time to ponder on the way he wanted to dance around this one introduction, as he would then nod for himself, raising a hand and eventually speaking out. 
52
53"I'm Ehecatl. I want to grow powerful so I can defeat Keitaro and his wife in a fair duel. I did not like the way they talked to me." 
54
55And he'd shrug, downing his hand eventually.
56(Ehecatl)
57--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
58
59[17:38] Mu blinked and looked around at all the others kids. He shrunk in his seat some, given he was a little shy. He was obviously an immigrant to Agartha, not even natively born, but he had heard some rumors about Wayfinding and figured he could maybe learn a thing or two here. Mu let some of the other kids introduce themselves before he mumbled off to the side.
60
61"I- I'm M-mu... I- I like to p-play in the snow. But people said the snow is dangerous here, so I don't get to a lot.." He looked around only to snap his head back down to his note paper on which he started scribbling.
62(Mu Ein)
63--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
64
65[17:38] The Fae's wings fluttered once, leaving a trail of powdery dust in their wake, before she held up an arm,
66
67"My name is Siofra! I am a fae, yes yes? I like gardening!"
68(Siofra)
69--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
70
71[17:39] Fortunately Azarashi was able to procure some writing utensils and paper, with great forethought taking example from last night. He places everything neatly on the desk before him while his staff is leaned against the desk. 
72
73There was something magical about being stuffed in a classroom full of fellows never before met. This could be, he thought, an opportunity to create new bonds.
74
75"I am Azarashi, humble dryad." He crossed both hands together and bowed his head. "I am fond of reading, taking care of plants, and making new friends. I hope to enjoy this class with you all." The dryad's hand gestures broadly to everyone else.
76(Azarashi)
77--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
78
79[17:40] Taking a deep breath and immediately sighing, the Kitsune twirls a golden curl around her finger. What was there to even say about herself..? 
80
81"I am Sumiye, I am a crafter and Kitsune...I can make almost anything and have a love for Runewriting." Falling a bit more quiet, the blonde shrugs. "Which is part of the reason I am here.."
82(Sumiye)
83--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
84
85[17:40] Azarashi whispers something.
86[17:40] A slight smirk was given to Magdalen as she began her usual bubbly demeanor his tail brushing past a few of the books upon the case he was leaning on though he felt it pertinent to entertain her and her want for them all to introduce and get to know one another.
87
88With a proud double pat of his chest now, the panther would begin to talk of him self some, though it was nothing the angel-blooded or most in this room didn't already know.
89
90"Greetings all. 
91
92I am Kabu…..El--no. Shaman of Cruxati, Witch Doctor, and former Chieftain of the Fertile Sprawl.
93
94My interests and hobbies include the hunt...and loving my perfect wife and family."
95
96He would smirk some, allowing his silver hues to look upon all those gathered here before finally resting on a slight wink to his significant other, maintaining that while he was truly ready to learn he could still bare room for fun as well.
97(Kabu)
98--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
99
100[17:41] Not getting right to business struck him as a bit of a waste of time really. He wasn't one for taking classes nor had he ever been involved in one. Was this how they usually went? It made him feel like he was a child meeting a new friend or something.
101
102He'd give a bit of a sigh as he looked around. Every9one introducing themselves and saying facts about themselves. Mostly things that were irrelevant to him. Names and interests. Unless it was someone he was meeting one on one, he care little for them
103
104Though, he'd answer from the back of the room. In his dull and rather uncaring voice.
105
106"I'm Jun. I like going to places and almost dying for material benefit."
107
108He'd be silent after that.
109(Jun Zanders)
110--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
111
112[17:42] Ajax remained seated atop of the statue thingy observing - he watched as she drew out a notebook and then shut it close - that seemed a little odd for a class, didn't it?
113
114Oh.
115
116Introductions - yeah, that wasn't something he wanted to take part in and therefore, he merely kept observing like he always did - intently at that. He wanted to learn what Wayfinding was, it was obviously a big hit with the angels, so why not learn more about it?
117
118He fixed himself up to a more comfortable position atop of the statue, crossing his legs atop of each other - balancing himself up.
119(Ajax Reynold)
120--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
121
122[17:43] Sumiye whispers something.
123[17:44] Sumiye whispers something.
124[17:46] It was always interesting, seeing one of the older demi-angels. They always had such a list of accolades, great achievements they could claim through their own efforts. In their youth they'd fought against Dawn at it's height or at-least the one named Sera had.
125
126The man stood at his seat, the man brought a fist to his chest once again. The mithril resounding upon itself with a soft ting. One might guess by the rigid and militaristic stance he'd taken as he stood what was to come next. 
127
128"I am Ascalon of House Zanders, Oscuri, expert upon mana-circuitry, and a Paladin of the Legion of Dawn." It was clear that blackened lines coursed through his skin and one could see several badges of what was probably office once upon his cloak. The man otherwise appeared thin and perhaps weary.
129
130"I've a keen interest in bird watching, as well as simple capentry and leather working." The man chuckled a bit at the old hobbies he'd acquired to pass the time back in Dusk during the war.
131
132With a moment he'd take a seat once more. Returning to being but the student. He was curious how the class would go, such things being something he wasn't all that accustomed to. Hopefully Magdalen was a better teacher than Freya.
133
134(Ascalon Zanders)
135--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
136
137[17:47] Yasuyoshi says, "..."
138[17:47] Siofra says, "Um."
139[17:47] Siofra says, "Big yikes."
140[17:47] Kabu says, "...."
141[17:47] Yasuyoshi says, "Um."
142[17:47] Vetani says, "Paladin..."
143[17:47] Kabu says, "Might as well be king of Deseti while you are at it."
144[17:47] Vetani says, "I'm going home."
145[17:48] Sumiye whispers something.
146[17:48] Ascalon Zanders says, "I met the King once. He was an honorable man."
147[17:48] Siofra asks, "???????????????????????"
148[17:48] Azarashi blinked
149(Azarashi)
150--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
151
152[17:48] Kabu asks, ".......Honourable?"
153[17:48] Azarashi whispers something.
154[17:48] Kabu says, "Sacrificing thousands of Gehennan people..."
155[17:48] Joan Caelum says, "Uhmn...."
156[17:48] Kabu asks, "Is Honourable?"
157[17:48] Joan Caelum says, "G-guys please..."
158[17:49] Ascalon Zanders says, "Not that one."
159[17:49] Azarashi whispers something.
160[17:49] Ajax Reynold says, "Shut up. We are trying to learn."
161[17:49] Ascalon Zanders says, "The last King of Deseti."
162[17:49] Ajax Reynold says, "Take it outside."
163[17:49] Yasuyoshi says, "...Shut up."
164[17:49] Jun Zanders says, "We're here to learn, not bicker."
165[17:49] Yasuyoshi exclaims, "How can you learn anything? You're not even in the class!"
166[17:49] Ascalon Zanders says, "Bah, we can talk about him later. The blue-haired lads correct enough."
167[17:49] Mu Ein says, "I've always heard Deseti was filled with the weak willed.."
168[17:50] Siofra asks, "How is one a Paladin of Dawn, when Dawn does not exist anymore?"
169[17:51] Yasuyoshi says, "Old titles, hehe."
170[17:51] Kabu says, "That was the point of my statement,"
171[17:51] Siofra exclaims, "Oh. I knew that!"
172[17:51] Ascalon Zanders says, "Tradition and memory of what was. Is important."
173[17:52] Yasuyoshi was going to say something entirely in character about that, but avoids it. Learning day.
174(Yasuyoshi)
175--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
176
177[17:52] Kabu says, "I suppose that is one way to see natural disasters."
178[17:52] Ascalon Zanders asks, "How are the last three Atl chieftains?"
179[17:52] Kabu asks, "W h o?"
180[17:52] Yasuyoshi asks, "Didn't one die, the other quit, and one left?"
181[17:52] Ascalon Zanders says, "Erasing already."
182[17:53] Kabu says, "Atl..... doesn't ring a bell. Nope.."
183[17:53] Kabu smirks some at that...intertribe rivalyry was all in good fun.
184(Kabu)
185--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
186
187[17:53] Siofra says, "......"
188[17:54] Mu Ein says, "Erasing history is pretty dumb.."
189[17:55] A piece of paper is used to take down attendance of all who gave their names, noting down 'blue haired boy' for Ajax, a smile given to him! Similar smiles find her dear grandchild and husband, first, before being poured over the entire class!
190
191"I'm glad you all attended, dears! Thank you for that!"
192
193Names and small hobby notes down, the white-feathered lowers her paper, and speaks again!
194
195"So, dears! It's nice to meet you all, but I'd like to ask, now, what you know about my mother's art! I realize there's probably a bunch of unknowns and misconceptions floating around-
196
197But, I'll give you the agenda for today's lesson, however!
198
199I'll go over the art, the means in which it is used, as well as how it operates, and then I'll give an exercise for youdears to practice on your own time, and then talk about a future field trip at the end, which could help improve your learning!"
200
201There's a nod-nod, the floor open for those to speak! The smiling, gentle Angel-blooded comes to casually lean back against the blackboard, a piece of chalk brandished - while the words 'WAYFINDING' is written as a heading, underlined and given quite a bit of room for information to be written about it, below!
202(Magdalen Elisheva)
203--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
204
205[17:57] She spoke up quickly,
206
207"It is teleportation, yes yes? Does not harm the Lifestream!" She said with a soft giggle.
208(Siofra)
209--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
210
211[17:57] As much fun as it was to see a middle-aged man and an ex-oscuri bicker over traditions and memories, it was time to learn. With Magdalen speaking about such a thing, he stayed up astute on his seat and simply listened to the words coming. It was almost like a real classroom when you remove the obvious issues there.
212
213“I don’t really know much about your ‘mothers’ art, I don’t even know who your mom is – but if it means anything that Siofra said? Then it seems pretty good, not harming a ‘Lifestream’.” He wasn’t going to discuss ripping open the life stream and making it your own like he saw many, many times on the mountain.
214
215That would be silly, wouldn’t it?
216(Yasuyoshi)
217--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
218
219[17:57] "Isn't it l-like riftmancy but not- not bad?"
220
221After his comment on history erasure, Mu went back to scribbling on his paper. Only some of it was notes, the other half was doodles.
222(Mu Ein)
223--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
224
225[17:59] Onto the actual lesson it seemed. Something he chimed in on at least.
226
227"It involves several layers of runes, six if I am remembering right? Each of their own purpose. Traveling via Wayfinding does not harm the lifestream and uses the spiritual realms to take you to your destination."
228
229He had done some research on the topic. Through Arlei's not and his own experience with the art being used in his presence. Though, he didn't know much other than that. He had wrote down the uses of each runic circle at one point, but those notes were lost to him.
230
231He'd sit back in the chair after talking once more.
232(Jun Zanders)
233--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
234
235[18:00] From inside of his jacket, Ehecatl extracts a sort of notebook and a quill, starting scribbling some of the basics he'd already know about this certain subject, paying attenition to Magdalen whilst at it. He seemed patient and attendant, whilst humming a tune for himself, not loud enough to bother anyone else in the class.
236(Ehecatl)
237--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
238
239[18:00] Remained quiet as per usual, keeping his presence to a minimal - unless he needed to speak out against a few delinquents, which he didn't mind. That little altercation earlier obviously got him a little more anxious but thankfully it didn't escalate. 
240
241His attention fixated on the white feathered angel, his gaze - full of intent and yearn. On one hand, he was going to focus on something other than his own issues and occupy himself and on the other it was something useful to learn more and more about.
242
243His gaze trailed over the group of students for the time being, as they all speak different answers and bring in new points of view, which were more as if not less interesting than the class itself.
244(Ajax Reynold)
245--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
246
247[18:01] Humming softly, the Kitsune begins to scribble down some notes on the paper before her. The quill flicked this-way-and-that, drawing out neat letters upon the pages as she began to organize what would become a full study with time.
248
249"Uses, How to use, and Homework-- Fieldtrip..?"
250
251Looking up, the blonde tilts her head to the side. Why would they need to go anywhere if they were, well...Training to jump to different places? Raising her hand, the Kitsune spoke in a clear tone.
252
253"Why would we need to go on a Fieldtrip and-- WHERE would we go? The Spirit Realm..?"
254(Sumiye)
255--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
256
257[18:02] The girl seemed intent on listening as silently as possible. Silly her, she didn't bring any paper, so all she could do was listen and try to learn. To remember things in her head. Still, she nodded her head a few times, to show she was indeed watching and listening.
258(Joan Caelum)
259--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
260
261[18:02] Lending a furred ear amidst the banter, the panther would chime in with what he knew as he'd discussed a bit with the missus earlier in theweek. A hand came up to his chin some, tapping along as he gave a fairly decent run down.
262
263"The art of the 6 Circles... glyphs within each pertaining to the spirit realm and lifestream. These techniques allow not only passage but a relationship to be formed with the very nature of the cycle itself.
264
265Allowing one to become pure energy, and travel up or down stream without piercing that very thin fabric that keeps our souls and spirits from eternal ruin."
266
267Feeling that sufficed, he'd give a look to Magdalen--wondering if he and the others had hit the nail or not for the most part.
268(Kabu)
269--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
270
271[18:02] Azarashi smiled nervously, a little thankful he was ushered to the back of the class. That was a really awkward intermission and he felt a little bad about Ascalon, but it quickly faded away. He was, at least, his medical teacher.
272
273He scooped up his rudimentary pencil (which was basically a graphite tipped twig) and pressed the tip against the paper. His free hand rubbed his chin thoughtfully, recording each student's answers. This would prove to be useful information somewhere down the line, right?
274
275"The Spirit Realm would be quite a place to go for a field trip. It does sound rather dangerous, depending where we end up..."
276(Azarashi)
277--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
278
279[18:03] What do you know of my mothers art? Those words made the former Paladin sigh. He really should have read Elisheva's book when he had the chance. What use was spoils of war if you didn't use them? Regardless that was to late to worry about. The man hummed softly, it was something akin to riftmancy. Now that was what he'd understand.
280
281Then something pinged in his mind. Tenko! That mad undead had spent decades trying to figure out how wayfinding worked. In fact he never shut up about it. On and on and on, like a broken record. Really, it was no surprise the Zanders had blocked those memories. They where terrible annoying one's after all.
282
283There was a few moments as the man looked about the room. Making sure he wasn't going to drown someone else out or bumble across their own sentence. "It's an art of transportation across the lands of Eternia similar to Riftmancy. The key differencebeing where Riftmancy tears a pathway through the life-stream using memorization of the location's imprint on said life-stream. Wayfinding utilizes runes that allow the body to... Flow? Flow, through the life-stream to points marked by anchoring runes?"
284
285It was a bit of a guess a bit of a bastardization but it was the best the Oscuri had. After all living a life-time among riftmancers and the man source of information on wayfinding being old copies of slain foes books and an insane undead fox. Well, if it was terrible wrong he wouldn't feel bad.
286(Ascalon Zanders)
287--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
288
289[18:03] Siofra says, "......"
290[18:32] As the others speak, Magdalen begins noting down their beliefs on the art with her chalk! With Siofra's comment, 'Teleportation' is added, then 'not harming the Lifestream' follows with the white-haired fox's comment. 'Not bad' follows after that with doodling Mu's words!
291
292There's a big smile given the way of Jun, at the revealing of his prior knowledge! She'll add 'Six Layers' and 'Spiritual Realms' under her other writings! With a small pause, Magdalen wanders forwards mid-lesson, giving Joan a piece of paper and spare pencil, paired with a gentle, motherly ruffle of her hair!
293
294The blonde-fox's question is waited on for a bit, though, letting her hand be held up, writing down Kabu's insight of 'energy conversion' down.
295
296Magdalen writes down Ascalon's comment of 'Similar to Riftmancy', with a big question mark next to it!
297
298Finally, with 'Teleportation', 'Not harming the Lifestream', 'Not bad', 'Six Layers', 'Spiritual Realms', 'Energy conversion', and 'Similar to Riftmancy?', she'll comment on Sumiye's question!
299
300"I'm saving that news for the end, dear! But, I'll be certain to tell you more then!"
301
302Back, to the written seven!
303
304"Okay! So, dears, six of these are mostly true!
305
306I'll start with the one that isn't, of course! Firstly, Wayfinding is only similar to Riftmancy if one looks at just effect. Riftmancy is an imprecise art that's dangerous to the caster and everyone around them, Wayfinding is extremely safe, even for new users, as one example of the differences many wouldn't know of.
307
308Riftmancy is a cheap, easy method of place-to-place instant transportation, used by people with a callous, uncaring mindset.
309
310Wayfinding, however, requires commitment and work to learn, practice and focus - but it has a lot more potential in general then Riftmancy, as mastering each-"
311
312Magdalen motions to the 'Six Layers', scratching out the word 'Layers' and instead writing 'Circles'.
313
314"- Circle, allows you to learn new and innovative methods of utilizing runes and your mana to create effects on the world. Many of my inventions employ what I learned from Wayfinding to operate, and there's many, many more things left for me to use."
315
316'Similar to Riftmancy?' is scratched out, and instead, Magdalen focuses on the others, from the top down. 'Teleportation' is first.
317
318"Ah! so, for teleportation. From what I understand, teleportation is the act of moving from one place to another without moving through the intervening space.
319
320This isn't quite Wayfinding, not really. You still move, but instead of trying to bend the world to how you wish, you are the one that bends - changing your own form and moving through the Lifestream that permeates every part of this world, to get to your destination. With this in mind, you are still crossing the intervening space, just doing so in another realm, as energy."
321
322'Teleportation' is changed to 'Nearly-Instant Travel'. She'll point at 'Not harming the Lifestream', next.
323
324"Very correct, dear. But not quite the full truth. Wayfinding does not harm the Lifestream, but it actually helps reinforce and strengthen its flow - optimizing and improving itover time, and helping the world be more stable.
325
326This is only another of the reasons why Wayfinding is superior - as overuse of Riftmancy creates holes and damage to the world where crops fail, evil spirits seep through and terrorize the people - often non-magi who have no way to defend themselves - while sickening the land itself...
327
328Overuse of Wayfinding helps strengthen life itself, and helps the world, mhm."
329
330'Not harming' is scratched out, writing 'Helping the Lifestream', instead. The gold-lined hands of the immaculate Angel-blooded points to the next on the list. 'Not bad'.
331
332"Well... Calling something bad or good is an oversimplification. I do recall there was a Spatial mage who used his powers to attack people like a bandit and do wrong...
333
334But the art itself can be achieved by anyone with the proper focus on commitment and study. If you work hard, everyone here can learn it, mhm."
335
336'Six Circles', next.
337
338"So, Wayfinding uses a process called 'Runeweaving', that is, extruding your mana into shapes and glyphs infront of yourself, so as to create the runes necessary to evoke the six circles, each made of a lot of smaller sub-runes.
339
340I found it exhausting when I was learning how to use the art, but as I mastered each circle, I adapted and improved myself and my ability to call upon them.
341
342Each circle represents a different element of the art - but I'll get into them a little later."
343
344'Spiritual Realm', now!
345
346"Mhm! So, Wayfinding is about moving through the Spirit Realm, using the Lifestream that crosses through it, to accelerate your travel time immensely.
347
348In the Spirit Realm, the Lifestream flows like a spiraling river of endless white mana, and Wayfinding is about swimming it-"
349
350Pointing to 'Energy Conversion', Magdalen adds;
351
352"- By turning yourself into energy, and shifting into the Spirit Realm as that energy, mhm."
353
354With each observation explained, the white-feathered will softly ask;
355
356"Any questions, dears?"
357(Magdalen Elisheva)
358--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
359
360[18:39] Listening to the explanations, it was really fulfilling and not many questions were left unanswered, her method of teaching seems to come from experience. She taught before, probably more than a dozen classes. Although, while all those answers may be enlightening, the Ookami was interested in only one question of his own. Albeit not interested in communicating with class, he did come here to learn.
361
362"Can you Wayfind within the spirit realm or is it tied to the material realm? If so, what are the dangers of getting lost and- how willing are the spirits there to teach - well to teach what they know." There was something he wanted to get at and understand better, with time, hopefully - but this concept seemed like the best way to go about it.
363
364"What are those six runes and how do I learn them?" His following question was straight to the point, he wasn't there for hypothesis - he was there for results, after all.
365(Ajax Reynold)
366--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
367
368[18:40] Lea quickly ran in, panting heavily, with a small friction flame alight on her left wing.
369
370It wasn't a magical flame or anything, Lea was just running on pure cartoon logic right now.
371(Lea Elisheva)
372--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
373
374[18:41] Still busy taking down more doodles and notes, Mu really hit his stride when Magdalen gave out the full lecture. He was struggling to keep up even! But he wouldn't give up. He wanted to learn aaaalll about Wayfinding. Grey eyes peered through the divider absent mindedly, watching the people on the other side. They blinked when they noticed the man stickin his hand in the fire and the demiangel running this way and that. His head tilted and then he turned back to the teacher and stopped writing completely.
375(Mu Ein)
376--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
377
378[18:42] A lot to take in really. About the specifics of each of the things several of them had lain out. Six circles of runes, each with their own functions and purpose. All together allowed one to travel nearly instantly through the lifestream.
379
380But, not as their physical bodies but rather as a form of energy flowing about. From one place, to another. He had experienced that himself from traveling with Magdalen a good few times between places, those places were mostly Levengard and Gehenna though.
381
382As for questions he did have one or two.
383
384"Can ya' wayfind to a specific place in the spirit realm, or can it only be a physical destination in our realm? If such is not the case, what different places can ya' travel to with Wayfinding? Helheim for example."
385
386Off the top of his head that was an example that he could think of really. It was the only actual place he had seen in regards to the spirit realm.
387(Jun Zanders)
388--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
389
390[18:42] The wall of instruction dropped on Azarashi like a pile of bricks. But thankfully, Magdalen was a steady instructor. She broke down misconceptions and clarified each facet of wayfinding while giving him time to write down his notes. The dryad commits these facets to memory and finishes writing down any pertinent details. 
391
392He taps his pencil against his chin, now parsing through the information in his head. The naturekin took a breath, rolling his wrist after that long lecture. 
393
394"I'd also like to ask a question," he piped up after Ajax. "There must be certain dangers when practicing the art. With that, how should I approach hands-on wayfinding? Is it possible to 'fail'? And is it possible to lose your way?"
395(Azarashi)
396--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
397
398[18:42] With Teleportation being added on to the board, he would also go forth to add it to memory. Teleporting around places, especially in combat sounded as if it was something entirely new to do. Neat even, and when it turns out that it didn’t harm the life stream either, it simply made him chuckle underneath his voice.
399
400It was almost as if he would be able to go anywhere he wanted with such a thing, and even being able to be anywhere at any time if he desired. Such a thing only made him that much more focused on the subject, and even made him go forth to pull out a stack of paper and some ink to start writing it down in notes.
401
402Spiritual realms went underneath it, and as such, it went underneath the other pieces of the paper. Even though he never been there, it seems like it would be a place to visit afterwards to get more clarity. In fact, he heard much about these realms before, but never gotten around to asking about it in full. If such a thing was apart of the life stream, that would mean that he would be able to go there at any time he wanted. It was simple, clear insight to further his own plans.
403
404Yet, when it came down to ‘Similar to Riftmancy’, inner turmoil started to come in a wave of emotions that was plastered on his face. On one hand, he could’ve gone to anyone else on the mountain and ask about it. However, due to his promises he made, this would be the only alternative that was there for him. A scowl came upon his features for a moment before going to a simple neutral one.
405
406Though, he saw that the layers were removed from the wording, and replaced with circles. That gave him the hint he needed to start on working through it all with ease. And seeing that six was the magic number, he simply drew the six numbers on the paper. Six, simple circles couldn’t be so hard, was it?
407
408Wrong. The runes were going to be the first step to learning the circles before anything else could come. Fear for learning such an art involved himprobably learning the thing as well. Even though he was more on the side of fighting his problems away, perhaps it was better off just learning it in general. A shrug upon his shoulders as he fixed his shoulders.
409
410“So, six circles are needed for this to work, but they are also needed in order to rune weave, so would it mean that for someone to learn the art, they had to be a rune scribe first? Does this only make it harder for someone who is more tuned to fighting having more difficulty in learning this?” The questions were rising.
411
412“if such is the case, is a waste of time?”
413(Yasuyoshi)
414--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
415
416[18:42] Jun Zanders whispers something.
417[18:43] Lea picked a seat in the back of the class, sat down on the floor, and watched, notepad in hand.
418
419She failed to notice the flame spreading on her wing.
420(Lea Elisheva)
421--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
422
423[18:43] Azarashi whispers something.
424[18:43] Lea Elisheva exclaims, "I'm fine! Just late!"
425[18:43] With his gaze fixed on Magdalene and her explanations, Ehecatl appears to be scribbling into his notebook all the information they'd be given. He hums, his eyes darting around the room, inspecting each and every individual his gaze might fall upon, noticing the one stranger by the fire. The boy licks his lips, not having seen this one individual before, a knack of curiosity tingling his inner senses, yet he manages to keep his attention to Magdalene's lesson. 
426
427"Is it possible to get lost in these Realms?"
428
429He'd ask, with his hand up in the air, lowering it shortly after.
430(Ehecatl)
431--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
432
433[18:43] Lea Elisheva says, "Or right. Whispering."
434[18:44] She seemed to be having a hard time focusing, though not for her own dumbness, moreso the idea of it seemed to make her question just how that worked.
435
436Her mind seemed to wander, and her gaze was almost a little empty as she stared off into the distance, trying to ponder everything.
437
438Though, she paused. Something was weird. She glance dback for a moment, blinking.
439
440"Miss?" She asked, her voice quiet.
441(Joan Caelum)
442--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
443
444[18:44] Lea Elisheva whispers something.
445[18:44] Azarashi whispers something.
446[18:44] Lea Elisheva whispers something.
447[18:44] Azarashi points to her wingy wing
448(Azarashi)
449--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
450
451[18:44] Lea looked over at her wing, and back to Azarashi. Now that Lea was no longer operating on cartoon logic, the flame was extinguished, as if it was never there to begin with.
452
453"What flame?"
454(Lea Elisheva)
455--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
456
457[18:44] Jun Zanders whispers something.
458[18:44] Joan Caelum says, "Ehm... Nevermind..."
459[18:45] Azarashi cleared his throat and waved his hand "I mean the fire of your passion for learning. Please, use my desk."
460(Azarashi)
461--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
462
463[18:45] Lea Elisheva asks, "Why would you douse that flame?"
464[18:45] Azarashi says, "You're right-- my mistake."
465[18:46] The Fae's wings flutter, taking in Magdalen's lesson seriously which was surprising given her childish nature. But this was an art she truly wished to learn, one way or another. Siofra awkwardly writes with a pencil that was about as large as she was, her words on the paper small and unstable but she was managing.
466
467Her own notes were scribbled out, a few times, as Magdalen corrected their notes on what Wayfinding actually was. Mastering each circle would allow her to learn new and creative ways of utilizing runes, and her mana to create effects on the world.
468
469Interesting. She was a Fae- she already subtly effected the world in her own, special way.
470
471But it wasn't teleportation. It makes them bend, to move through the Lifestream itself. She added that it helped to strengthen the flow of it all, and strengthen life itself. Things she naturally loved!
472
473Runeweaving was added to her notes patiently. Extruding her mana into shapes and glyphs in front of herself, to create the necessary runes to evoke those required six circles. Magdalen's specific wording of mastering each circle caught her attention, and she added that to her notes before she lifted off into the air while holding the large pencil to circle that phrase specifically.
474
475It didn't seem like she had any questions. In fact, she looked a little exhausted from writing!
476(Siofra)
477--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
478
479[18:48] Enlightening.
480
481A soft glow would overcome the panther's eyes now as he positioned himself some, his gaze would peer out to the chalkboard as these concepts were written out and allowed to settle with their new and ever intriguing concepts being delineated and understood.
482
483Clarification upon how Wayfinding didn't simply "not hurt" the lifestream, but actually helped to heal it gave him some serious verification in the appreciation of his mother-in-law's art.
484
485Taking up a vine and dipping it in some ink he'd mixed of dark pigmented herbs and his water magics erected on the spot writing down this correction, as well as that this process was all initially called "Runewaving".
486
487Noting that he would do well to not only find an overview of understanding, but also mastering his comprehensions of each of the six circles separately he would understand his work would be cut out for him in the coming years.
488
489"Expanding on all I had the jist of, then.
490
491But, this technique is able to mend through rune weaving, and each circle is it's own discipline that one needs to have the utmost sight into to make all of this -click-.
492
493I suppose the only thing I wish to know, is....hmn.
494
495What are the limits of this art? I've seen you do much dear,, but perhaps to finish this picture you've painted, all of us need to be aware of it's frame, mnh?"
496
497Curiosity was evident in the man's demeanor and eyes. Dangerous to some cats, it only gave the nagual more intrigue to know how high he could soar in learning this, and utilizing it to aid these lands without burning his "wings."
498(Kabu)
499--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
500
501[18:48] Remaining silent, the girl begins to very quickly write as Magdalene speaks. Paper soon becomes covered in ink, neat wording and rephrasing are spread across the pages to make sure every detail is accounted for.
502
503Missing anything would be a mistake!
504
505The goal was to swim through the spirit realm, entering it with runes and eventually finding yourself where ever it is...You wanted to go? Frowning silently beneath her mask, the child's hand freezes up as the marks begin to burn again. Hand cramp--How limiting. Gritting her teeth, Sumiye continues to write.
506
507But she hated every moment.
508
509Staring down at the pages, widening her eyes, the Kitsune continues on. Something as foolish as some scars would not get the better of her, she was tougher than this! Besides, stopping to think about them just--
510
511'Don't think, write.', that was all she could mumble to herself.
512(Sumiye)
513--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
514
515[18:55] The Accursed enters with an entourage of demons. How did that happen?
516
517"...Ely around? Or a voice? We got a fuckin' problem."
518(Ardith Hirai)
519--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
520
521[18:55] Kabu says, "That's alot of demons.."
522[18:55] Siofra says, "Oh dear."
523[18:55] Ardith Hirai says, "Uh huh."
524[18:55] Yasuyoshi asks, "...HM?"
525[18:55] Ardith Hirai asks, "Where's Ely?"
526[18:55] Yasuyoshi asks, "What's up?"
527[18:55] Joan Caelum asks, "U-uhm...?"
528[18:55] Ardith Hirai says, "Ely or a Voice."
529[18:55] Kabu says, "Have not seen the Chieftain."
530[18:55] Yasuyoshi asks, "Does it include violence?"
531[18:55] Kabu says, "Or a Voice in a moon or two."
532[18:55] Ardith Hirai says, "Fuckin' useless."
533[18:55] This was the part of the lecture where things would become more intense. Ascalon could feel it in the tenseness within the air. Though, that could also be his more... Varied nature than the Gehennans about him. The Oscuri brought a hand up, slipping into the space between his cuirass and cloak. Pulling free a worn-notebook, if one where to really look at it they'd see the letter L embossed on it in faded golden letters. A soft smile touched the man's lips as he sat it upon the table. A hand coming to rest upon it, index and middle finger tracing the old letter for a moment. 
534
535Before that same hand came over to grip the edge of the book. Flipping it open and beginning to turn through the pages within it. Each one filled with notes and words though he didn't focus upon the old stories of the past. Instead turning to an empty section, at this point the man reached a hand to a pouch at his hip, retrieving an olden ink-well with a cork and a quill. The ink-well was sat down, cork pulled away as the quill was sat within it. Dull hues of jade looked upwards towards the angelic being who was speaking. For a moment the man pondered the difference between this one. Who'd cried rage against his god so vehemently and for him to be taken care of. Yet, they seemed less... Beaten then the rest of their siblings he'd seen.
536
537The lesson, back to it as the woman began to write upon the chalkboard. Settling the points addressed and brought up. The list wasn't that long all things considered with the various ages and experiences levels within the class. The first thing addressed was the field trip, the man frowned for just a moment. Recalling vaguely a story of some far away angelic castle. Though was that a fairy tale told by weary soldiers or some truth? Perhaps he'd read it in Aaliyah's book after-all. Then it came to his thoughts being answered, naturally it was his own opinion being reflected so it took a greater aspect of his attention.
538
539The more she spoke of the differences between the two. Well, it was increasingly becoming clear that Wayfinding had it's advantages over the art of Riftmancy. Most importantly, at-least to the Paladin, was the lack of a risk of Nethradin being able to cross over and wreak havoc. The note of safety and the over-all disparaging attitude towards Riftmancy was mostly ignored though, after all. A Riftmancer would say the same thing of the art of Wayfinding. 
540
541Next came the six layers, something that he'd no clue about. It was easily shown to be a type of learning strategy. Perhaps they'd broken the art down to make it easier to understand by magi? It'd make sense as the art was used to repair the life-stream and strengthen it. Teleportation, an interesting thought but quickly revealed to not be an actuality. There was a few casual notes about the benefits it provided to the life-stream as well. Though the next bit took his fullattention. The art worked through breaking yourself down into etherial mana and traveling through the realm of spirits?
542
543It'd be clear that last part had caught the man's interest. His brow knotting in thought at the possibilities of such travel. The possibilities of actually touching that well-spring of mana. Possibilities he'd only thought possible through an internalization of one's own spiritual energy. Yet, it was possible to do so through this Wayfinding an external art? It was all interesting, though as the man looked about the room. Hearing the questions being poised to the woman. He'd take just a moment to wait for the end, as it seemed was his natural time to speak.
544
545"These circles, what are they? I've never heard of anything about this art being broken down into smaller parts. I'm also curious about the manner in which one enter the spirit realm, the breaking down of oneself into ethereal mana. Could you reconstitute yourself within the outer realms?"
546
547(Ascalon Zanders)
548--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
549
550[18:55] Famfrit says, "Check his house."
551[18:56] Yasuyoshi exclaims, "DOES IT INCLUDE VIOLENCE?!"
552[18:56] Siofra exclaims, "I saw friend Elyon a few moments ago, but he left!"
553[18:56] Kabu says, "---Eh...probably with Cali--."
554[18:56] Siofra exclaims, "... Eep!"
555[18:56] Kabu says, "Mnh."
556[18:56] Joan Caelum says, "... Oh no."
557[19:01] Vetani whispers: A-donis. I don't want to interrupt lessons but I'm doing it anyway...
558[19:01] Vetani whispers: If you wanna I can tell you about my expedition... laterrrr...
559[19:01] Vetani says, "O-or right now."
560[19:01] Vetani says, "I thought you were the teaching's assistant."
561[19:16] The Angel-blooded can't help but beam happily at the presence of all of these eager listeners! She'll smile at the Ajax, answering his questions!
562
563"You can Wayfind into the Spirit Realm, dear. It takes a lot more practice and skill to do so, however- 
564
565And, you'll have to ask a Spiritmancer about that. I do know that there's different places with different spiritual inhabitants!
566
567Ah, and it's not so much six runes and rather, six constellations of runes. That's what a runeweave is, mhm, it's a interconnected pattern of runes that exists to facilitate some sort of effect!
568
569I'll show you dears more on those a little later!"
570
571Magdalen's obviously happy to see her Lea, downy-feathered wings giving a tiny ruffle as she smiles at the blueberry!
572
573"It doesn't have to be a destination in our physical realm, it's just harder to visualize a place you don't have as much experience with personally, and that link is important for the art's functioning!
574
575Helheim, as an example, would no doubt be extremely difficult to travel to, as Wayfinding uses the Lifestream to move about, and Helheim, from what I understand, is far away from the Lifestream!"
576
577Azarashi, now, gets Magdalen's soft smile!
578
579"Hmhm… Not so much, dear. If the weaves is unable to bring you to a particular place, after the course is plotted via the circles, it'll instead shift you back to the physical world!"
580
581Then, Yasuyoshi!
582
583"Not at all, dear! Though it's been shown to be a bit easier to understand for those that utilize the metaphysical arts - calculations and metal techniques needed - and Runewriters - to memorize and recall the glyph-sequences and runes - anyone can learn this power, as long as they study and set their mind to it! Even for people more practiced with fighting, as long as they can focus and apply themselves to learning the art, they can do it, mhm.
584
585Taiga Rowan, a good friend of mine, was a very, very fighting-based person, but he took to the art skillfully!"
586
587The young, tall kiddo has Magdalen's attention, now!
588
589"Theoretically, yes - but that'd be more of you wandering around and not being familiar with the realms. A Wayfinder is never lost, mhm."
590
591Kabu has the Angel-blooded's attention, now! She'll chuckle at his words, shaking her head;
592
593"The limit is one's imagination, and familiarity with the art, dear. I've done some very interesting things with Wayfinding - from closing a Fallen Angel's rift, to using it to physically superimpose two objects into the same place, mhm!
594
595But I'm a master - I wouldn't try those at home, mhm. I do advise people experiment a bit, though! Just apply Wayfinding principles to things they're interested in! The technique has an extreme amount of hidden potential."
596
597Magdalen raises an eyebrow;
598
599"Outer realms...? As in the Cosmic Realm, dear? If so, theoretically maybe, but I don't believe mortals can survive in the cosmic realm."
600(Magdalen Elisheva)
601--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
602
603[19:18] The amount of information that was being given was astounding. For a few moments, Joan pondered asking her own questions- but she didn't want to interrupt anyone else. Instead, she simply smiled and kept her hands folded on her lap, eagerly listening in on everything that she could.
604
605Was it strange to be proud of Magdalen? Or maybe proud was the wrong word. Admiration, that worked. She shifted a little bit in her seat, looking around at the others currently in the class.
606
607In truth, she never thought about actually learning wayfinding... But the information was still good to have!
608(Joan Caelum)
609--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
610
611[19:20] “Interesting,” he said as he jots it down. If all that it took was effort and time needed to actually master the sequences, then it would be done. Even though he was gifted in the metaphysical arts, it would still take the brain power to use it properly. Luckily, the Kitsunes were blessed with that intelligence, so it should coutn to his advantage right.
612
613Though, when it came to focusing, the only thing that he could do was just close his eyes and imagine it properly. It wasn’t that it was complex or anything, but trying to remember all six of these rune-weaving circles could take some time and effort. Hell, he didn’t even know most of them or where to begin. Yet, that’s why we are here, yes?
614
615He simply sat back and focused in silence. No words escaped him anymore, but the pen never stopped jotting down on the many pieces of paper that was there. "Easy, seems like I could do this."
616(Yasuyoshi)
617--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
618
619[19:20] And just like that Ajax went back to being quiet again, there wasn't much more he wanted to hear - he needed spiritmancers to help him with what he wishes to do, and therefore the class got a little less interesting for him. Although, he wanted to stay around to learn more about the runeweaving thingy before he could leave. Also, would be a little rude if he did leave.
620
621He fixed himself a little better upon the statue, shifting his weight around as he'd gotten himself more and more comfortable.
622(Ajax Reynold)
623--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
624
625[19:21] With the information served to them as if it would be on a plate, Ehecatl starts scribbling yet again into his notebook, nodding thankfully Magdalene's way - very much alike Joan, even if he did not currently wish to learn of these Arts, the information would be very well received indeed, so he does not complaint about anything.
626(Ehecatl)
627--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
628
629[19:21] The Fae sat down upon the table, listening intently to Magdalen's words. It was all questions she hadn't quite considered - traveling to the spirit realm? That would be a sight, indeed! Finally, she held up her hand,
630
631"Friend Magdalen, can you show us the circles that are needed to perform it, yes yes? Either.... By Drawing them down, or something?" She asked.
632(Siofra)
633--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
634
635[19:24] Mu wouldn't pick up his writing utensil again. Instead he was more or less freezing up, aside from minor motions that indicated he was definitely listening to Magdalen. The boy was sitting still in his seat, staring at the paper and nothing more. His breathing was slow and steady, but he had little to say. Occasionally he'd still look over to the others in the room beyond the divider, but other than that, he was quiet and almost motionless.
636(Mu Ein)
637--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
638
639[19:25] Depending on the place, travel to it would be difficult. A place like Helheim would be one of those, not like he would be going there himself. He had only ever seen a glimpse of it because of his father and a demonstration when he was a kid.
640
641It was possible to travel to places within though, as well. Which was good, it would make his life all the more easier when it came to things he wished to find in there. As now he knew he could get there which was a development at the very least.
642
643There were other things in this to, like how it wasn't really possible for a wayfinder to get lost. Which, made sense since one could wayfind to another location as long as they knew where it was. Whether that be inside or out of the spirit realm.
644
645The ability was also easier to use and understand for those that possess the metaphysical magics it seemed. Something he really didn't use himself. Lightning was not, to him at least. Metaphysical. It was just natural.
646
647He didn't have much else to say at the moment though, so he'd go back to observing.
648(Jun Zanders)
649--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
650
651[19:25] Spiritmancy? That would be an interesting profession. Could be something to add to his personal accolades but...
652
653Azarashi is now sitting with legs tucked underneath, using the floor as his 'desk' now. He writes down everything quickly and takes breaks in short intervals to spare him the carpal tunnel. Peppered with the occasional break, he steals a glance at the newcomer in front of him and at Sumiye as well. Sitting from behind, he couldn't see if there was anything wrong with her.
654
655Satisfied with his question answered, he takes to quizzing himself with what he's learned so far. 
656
657Utilize metaphysical arts...Not a skill he has, but that doesn't mean he's barred from wayfinding. 
658Pairing with a spiritmancer to find your way into the Spirit Realm? Maybe...
659
660"That's right. I would also very much like to see these circles," he encourages Siofra.
661(Azarashi)
662--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
663
664[19:27] A sequence of runes, not just six of them-- Like rune circles used to amplify the effects of magic in certain areas..? Tapping the quill on the edge of the notebook, the Kitsune began their writing again.
665
666Not only that, Wayfinding sounded like it had quite a few things it could not do too.
667
668Helheim...
669
670Who would want to go there anyways?
671(Sumiye)
672--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
673
674[19:29] The man leaned back in his chair, setting the quill into it's pot. A hand coming up to cup his chin as the thought for a few moments. His question about the outer realms, Cosmic for instance. Had been answered but it was a maybe and a certain risk of death. Though, it was interesting to know a bit more of the risks involved with the traveling as well as knowing that it might be able to go there. 
675
676"I understand, I was simply curious if it's connection to the stars."
677
678Though, his focus shifted towards the talk of the spirit realm. So it could be used to get there, though the varying realms would no doubt be hard to navigate. Yet, as she seemed to imply it was more about one's own knowledge of the matter than anything special.
679
680There was a few moments of interest at the mention of the varying styles of runes. Those would require rote-memorization to truly imprint into one's mind. Intensive mental casting, something he wasn't accustomed to very well. Though, if he'd make the attempt? Surely he could do just as well with it. Then again Feth had failed with Riftmancy which he started learning as a child. Then a question came to mind.
681
682"Can one use Wayfinding with a Riftmancer in the area. Due to the tears in the life-stream would it make the art undoable? Or would it start to fix the damage and make the Riftmancer struggle to use his magic? With the life-stream being strengthened I mean."
683(Ascalon Zanders)
684--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
685
686[19:29] Scribble, scribble, scribble...
687
688Notes would litter the pre-procured ones that the hunter possessed talk of wayfinding into the Spirit Realm intrigued him, reminding him of Keitaro's plans he'd asked the Artificer to aid within, and having watched carefully.
689
690Six constellations of runes
691
692A special note is added to the recent development now as combat application did comply with the apparent freedom of this divine skillset. "The limit is one's imagination" rang within the bounds of the man's mind now a thoughtful hum escaping him as he parted his lips to reveal a smile.
693
694Patience had always been one of Kabu's stronger suits, but dedication, and faith were things he'd often allotted to friends, family and concepts that truly stood out to him.
695
696The shaman's mind traveling upon that spare fragment he'd had and what he could do with it to not only advance this productive thought, but also influence Agartha positively instead of something so closeminded as how he viewed this technique prior to this lesson.
697
698"How boundless it is..
699
700Reminds me of the freedom to hunt, to face challenges, and to grow that Ixchel permits. The more I hear of this, the more my mind's set on meshing her glory with the abilities and projects this could provide."
701
702Always the spiritminded. The man's tail flicked behind him with his spawned mana fines dipped in ink would cease writing his prerogatives shifting and evolving right before them all.
703(Kabu)

706[19:40] 
707{LOAD GAME}
708
709[19:43] After listening in on the lesson for some time... the tall, white haired figure silently takes a seat besides the young Shengese boy, even if it looked like the tutelage was wrapping up now. His mostly aimless, distant stare faces forward - just a passing glance to Mu when he took to the stool, though no smile to offer.
710(???)
711--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
712
713[19:46] Mu still didn't move. He just stared at his notes, which were at this point 80% aimless scribbles that meant nothing along with doodles and doodles of snowflakes and swirly, elementary styled swirls that might be Wayfinding portals.
714
715When the white haired man took the now vacant seat beside him, Mu's practically stopped breathing.
716(Mu Ein)
717--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
718
719[19:53] The Angel-blooded gives a soft smile to the Fae in question, chuckling to herself!
720
721"Of course, dear. I'd be happy to - though, I'm going to start your dears off with the first circle, Netherworld.
722
723It's the primary command one uses to link themselves with the Spirit Realm..."
724
725Magdalen moves to the board, erasing any prior writings in her way. Then, her chalk is moved slowly and carefull, from one side of the board to the other - replicating it mechanically and utterly from memory.
726
727It's a three-tiered circle made up of runes, commands and sub-commands, filling most of the board itself!
728
729As she quickly illustrates the glyphs and sections of the runeweave, she speaks over her shoulder to the Zanders!
730
731"They can both use their magic in the same place, dear. I've fought Sors in the past, alongside Ethan. Our art is more elegant and skillful then his, so he wasn't able to stop our using of it."
732
733Then, back to the diagram of the runeweave!
734
735"So! How I do rune-systems! Three tiers, with an interior circle representing the Radial Glyph, where the rune-work derives its mana from.
736
737This pattern is set to derive it from the caster, yourself, mhm. It's important to get used to the drain!
738
739Then, outside is the Supporting Weave, which houses the actual 'meat' of the rune system! Here you can see the complex runes and interconnections between them, mhm. This actually governs the creation of that connection, with the last tier being the Parameters, a thinner band around that governs when the Supporting Weave activates!"
740
741Clapping her hands together, she'll leave that symbol emblazoned upon the board, surveying the class!
742
743"Okay, dears! So, since I talked a little about everything, I'd like to say that the field-trip I mentioned will be to the Spirit Realm. Not some place too dangerous, but the goal in having people go there is to help their learning of Wayfinding, by utilizing Netherworld, once in the Spirit Realm, so you all can forge a connection in the realm itself, mhm!
744
745While you're there, I'd like dears to try to recover some soul steel for me, as well, as I require it for my projects!"
746(Magdalen Elisheva)
747--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
748
749[19:55] The girl widened her eyes. The Spirit Realm...? She perked up, her hands tightened together as she smiled brightly. As a budding Spiritmancer, she was definitely interested in it- excited even! Her eyes trailed over to the Rune written down, then back forward, nodding eagerly up and down.
750
751She could easily do that sort of thing, though something nagged at her, telling her that this was quite a big step for her- but that was fine!
752
753This would be fine.
754
755She rocked back in her chair a bit, watching everyone else's reactions for now.
756(Joan Caelum)
757--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
758
759[19:57] The Fae's wings fluttered, happy to have her question answered. As Magdalen began drawing the three-tiered circle made up of runes, commands and sub-commands, the Fae struggled to copy it accurately. Working with a pencil that was as large as her body was difficult, even while hovering over the desk and flying about to do so. She panted lightly, and then whimpered.
760
761"This is so hard to draw, no no!" She complained lightly to no one in particular, really. She continued working on it, and once she thought it was done she cocked her little head to the side, gazing at it from just over the page in the air. No no - it was all wrong!
762
763"Friend Magdalen, can you draw a personal copy for me, pretty please? It is very hard to do so, unless you have a tiny pencil, yes yes?" She questioned now.
764(Siofra)
765--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
766
767[20:00] What an awful time to sit in the back of the class... This entire time he had been copying what Magdalen had been orally lecturing. This was a bit embarrassing. Getting up and walking up to the board would cast eyes upon him. Luckily he had a back up plan. 
768
769Azarashi scooped up his staff from the desk and spread some of the corn seeds he had in his pack. A little bit of magic and out came a mandrake which would waddle to the front of the class serving as his 'eyes'. 
770Physically, he had his shut while peering through his creation. The naturekin drew a nigh perfect replication of the Netherworld rune onto his paper. 
771
772Once that was over, he called back the little tot which opted to sit in his crossed legged lap.
773
774"Sumiye a trip to the Spirit World sounds splendid. What do you think?"
775(Azarashi)
776--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
777
778[20:00] The runic drawings are registered with a mild but waning interest - from the looks of the designs they were on the more advanced spectrum, and he had not attended the 'runes for novices' beginner class. What draws his attention in after is the sudden hitch of breath that has Mu pause, the stillness of the boy.
779
780Was he afraid? Nervous?
781
782The white-haired man didn't particularly care either way. His washed out, green eyes trail to the sketches of the portal structures and then to Malentine. He listens to the angel-blooded. Something about his expression makes his disaste evident, even if it's subtle - a slight narrow of the eyes, thin pale lips curling down. The way he's nostrils flare slightly.
783
784After the 'field trip' assignment is given, the drakanite's gaze wanders once more...
785
786...Back to Mu.
787
788Staring directly at him.
789
790It's about three seconds before he speaks to the boy in a whisper. Just for the Hel of it.
791(???)
792--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
793
794[20:01] ??? whispers something.
795[20:05] Mu's dark, neatly cut hair covered much of his face at this point, his eyes narrowed slits that focused wholly on the swirls he had dotted his notes with. He felt the shifting glances and looks from the guy beside him, and then remembered to start breathing again. Slowly, his shoulders relaxed, but it was still the only sign of motion from the boy.
796
797After a long, probably awkward silence he whispered back.
798(Mu Ein)
799--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
800
801[20:05] Mu Ein whispers something.
802[20:05] The first circle. It seemed rather complex, a lot more than what he had read last time really. There was three different parts to it, at least with the way Magdalen prepared it. All made of, confusing runes to him seeing as he isn't a runescribe.
803
804The inner circle was what she called a radial glyph. A patter that derives mana from the caster. It seemed that perhaps it had quite a drain of mana on the user. Which, was reasonable. It surely took a lot to make a portal that allowed for travel to places with time and ease.
805
806The second was the supporting weave. It's name to him was rather misleading as it wasn't really supporting but rather governing the creation of a connection as she put it. Still a bit confusing really but he'd assume was that connection to the spirit realm as well as the location they wanted to go to.
807
808The last was the parameters. Another misleading name but it also governed the misleading supporting weave. It seemed like a rather vague explanation so perhaps he would have to question things alter. For now he'd perk up a slight bit at the mention of a field trip to the spirit realm.
809
810"Ya' planning this 'field trip' for now, or later?"
811
812Frankly he wanted the spirit realm to be a surprise for when he ventured there for his guardian, though perhaps a bit of prior knowledge would be good.
813(Jun Zanders)
814--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
815
816[20:06] ??? inhales a deep breath through his nose, then exhales out of his mouth.
817(???)
818--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
819
820[20:06] ??? whispers something.
821[20:07] Mu Ein whispers something.
822[20:08] ??? whispers something.
823[20:09] Mu Ein whispers something.
824[20:10] Mu put his hands atop his desk and slowly folded his single, ragged pages of notes into a small square that was tucked away into a pocket.
825(Mu Ein)
826--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
827
828[20:11] The next phase of the lesson was underway, a thoughtful speculation was given before he was back at marking those reflexive and ever-growing notes again.
829
830The diagram of a circle was fairly simple to understand the "skin" of a runic circle were the Parameters she'd said let know when activation could occur. 
831
832Marking this down as something easier for him to understand, recalling diagrams of animals he'd hunted and their edible meat bones and organs.
833
834Of the next section, was the Supporting Weave that interconnects, and acts as a Bridgeway between the outer activations, and the inner Radial Glyph that supplies the power to the entire system.
835
836Drawing a boar next to the structure, and putting lines between the corresponding part of the creature, and the glyphs that make things copacetic for the pursuit of these actions.
837
838"Hmn… Netherworld.
839
840Just as these notes said, and what the Voice mentioned, no doubt."
841
842The visible breakthroughs seemed to make the gears turn in his head, a thoughtful showing of his drawing to Magdalen would have him chuckle some before he awaited more information on all of this.
843
844To master this first connection, would make all the others easier... But he'd need to search within in order to fully understand that waypoint this first circle placed between here, and the realm beyond.
845(Kabu)
846--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
847
848[20:11] A thin smile formed against his pale lips, though he says nothing. His serpentine eyes drift back to Magdalen.
849(???)
850--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
851
852[20:12] Siofra says, ".... Silly..... pencil......"
853[20:13] There was a soft chuckle that escaped the energy magi's lips at the first words spoken. So, the very beginning was connecting more with the spirit world? This had been completely worth his time it appeared. The new knowledge of wayfinding and even a grasping of other personalities beyond his own was nice. Even the arguing with Kabu, but this was what he was after. 
854
855The rune being drawn, how to make it stick to his mind. How to bring it's brilliance to life? Azrael he was becoming like Tenko at this point. Yet, it was not in jest as he pondered that. He could just draw it, being a pretty talented artist helped. Though, that wouldn't truly help with the memorization.
856
857He'd raised a hand, his eyes glowing as the man's choice of visual casting started to take charge. His palm up just above his desk he went through the act of creating the runes of his own mana. He doubted just mimicking the runes with energy magic would cause anything negative to happen. 
858
859At-least if he simply focused on the individual aspects of the runes. Best not to try and replicate the full thing after-all. From his energy, would collase an orb. An orb that slowly took the shape of first the Radial icon. The Zanders gaze shifting from his simulacrum of what the demi-angel had drawn to the actual drawling. Making small Modifications to make the rune a perfect copy. Once it was perfect in his eyes the man compressed the simulacrum and burned it into the piece of paper upon his desk.
860
861The energy magi continued doing this for every other aspect of the complex rune. Taking his time, focusing on both rebuilding his endurance and perfecting the symbols. It was difficult, as he went on the sweat upon his brow quickly started to drip into eyes shining with his own mana.
862
863It'd been years since he'd lost his reika, years of struggle and re-habilitation. Yet, he'd learned that there was only so much he could do alone. A deep breath and a silent request allowed the aid of his ancestor to aid him in finishing his mimicry. Ethereal mana lapping from his frame, a faint bluish-white glow radiating from him.
864
865As his copying was finished the man simply allowed the connection go his ancestor re-invigorate him. Pumping the energy of the realms beyond to replace the reika lost. He'd listen with a keen ear about the trip to the spirit realm. That was something he'd interest in, though he'd been connected to it for decades he'd never crossed the gap.
866
867Soulsteel? The man's face seemed contemplative for a moment. He had a lot of soulsteel, but it was extremely unlikely the demi-angel wished soulsteel that had been blessed by Azrael. No, they'd probably just try and 'purify' it. Best to simply help with the venture to retrieve some.
868
869"A mining expedition? That does sound interesting."
870
871(Ascalon Zanders)
872--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
873
874[20:14] Azarashi whispers something.
875[20:18] Ajax began to have his attention stole again by the dove feathered woman before him, his gaze practically glued to her hand as she proceeded to write on the chalk board. His attention to listen to her explain and draw, memorizing whatever she is she may be saying. He didn't know how to write, so he had to attempt and memorize by memory it seems.
876
877Meat system. Runes, complex - yeah he was getting everything confused. He scratched the side of his head while listening to her go on and on before letting out a sigh.
878
879"... can I have a copy of this lecture note or something..?" 
880
881Wait, what, a field trip so soon?
882
883"... Uh... I don't think I'm good in field trips I- don't really get along with anyone so.."
884(Ajax Reynold)
885--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
886
887[20:21] Jun Zanders says, "Ya' wont get along with people if ya' avoid em."
888[20:23] The Angel-blooded can't help but chuckle softly at the poor Fae's struggles! She'll wander over, casually tear a blank page out of her own notebook, and take down those notes upon this page! It only takes a minute or two, but quickly, such a page is drawn and delivered to the fairy!
889
890"There you go, dear."
891
892One finger'll pat the fairy's head, in a goofy, momly fashion!
893
894Then, to the other questions asked!
895
896"Soon, my dear! And don't worry! I'm sure you can make some friends on your journey with them! Mhm.
897
898May I ask a dear to share their notes with the young dear on the statue?"
899
900Soft question asked by the dove-feathered Atmosian-blooded, as she comes to lean against the board!
901
902"That's the lesson for today, though, mhm."
903(Magdalen Elisheva)
904--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
905
906[20:25] Azarashi hands Siofra his own rune drawing
907(Azarashi)
908--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
909
910[20:29] As Magdalen came over and wrote down the notes for her, she took the page from the Demiangel and nodded with a flutter of her wings,
911
912"Thank you muchly, friend Magdalen, yes yes!" She said. A little giggle was released upon the single finger head pat. "If need be, I will accompany on the field trip, yes yes! I may not be able to do much but I will come, for practice!" She said, brightly.
913(Siofra)
914--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
915
916[20:29] The lesson was over. Mu stood and pushed his stool in toward the desk and then turned. He tilted his head up so that his grey eyes were now looking toward the mysterious person sitting beside him and he audibly said,
917
918"Excuse me. I have to go home now."
919(Mu Ein)
920--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
921
922[20:30] It seemed it was the end of the lesson. They had learned a bit about the abilities of Wayfinding as well as its limitations, or lack thereof. He was sure there was some limitations but not much if any of them at all was gone over.
923
924He'd take a stand if that was the case though, ready to leave for the most part. So that was what he would do, stopping by Magdalen before doing such though to speak a tiny bit in whisper.
925(Jun Zanders)
926--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
927
928[20:31] The pale-skinned drakan angled to stare at the now standing boy, his gaze lingering for a few seconds before he nods his head and smiles. He quietly murmurs something under his breath as he rises to let Mu slip by...
929(???)
930--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
931
932[20:31] ??? whispers something.
933[20:32] Siofra exclaims, "Bye bye!"
934[20:32] Mu Ein whispers something.
935[20:34] That unwavering smile over the course of this outstanding lesson never went away. 
936
937Coming up the man would pat his now hefty notes placing them in his pack for review later. It was no surprise that he'd be going on that aforementioned trip to get her what she needed.
938
939"Amazing, dear. 
940
941You already know that I'll be there as well. Though I may need to go over these notes some later... You know I like my explanations thorough."
942
943Moving over he'd give a sigh, feeling that he never knew how much of this fantastic world he was missing by not taking this up sooner.
944(Kabu)
945--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
946
947[20:34] Jun Zanders whispers: Thank ya' MAgdalen. Just let me know when ya' lot are heading to the realms.
948[20:35] Sumiye remains quiet, staring down at the notebook unmoving.
949(Sumiye)
950--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
951
952[20:36] Ajax stays at the top of the statue waiting for his copy...
953(Ajax Reynold)
954--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
955
956[20:36] Azarashi places a hand on Sumiye's back. "Did you hear me alright? Are you okay? Do you want to leave?"
957(Azarashi)
958--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
959
960[20:37] The Oscuri looked up from his notes, heard Magdalen ask for someone to give the kid notes. No one seemed very interested in doing what she'd asked. Which, well really he didn't care about the kid or doing it either. Though...
961
962A sigh escaped the man's lips, as his gaze shifted towards a blue kid. The man yawned, seems he was kind of tired. "Kid if you want to have a copy of my notes. you're free to copy them down."
963
964The man stood, stretched and looked over towards Kabu. Geez why hadn't he been so fast with the compliments when being taught the healing arts? Though, that might have been a tired thought.
965(Ascalon Zanders)
