[He'd thought a lot about this, long and hard. But even with all the evidence presented to him over the past year and a half, that still was never enough for him. He didn't want to rely on anything else to fight, he had his own power and his own strength. But being caught like he did so many times on the draft by shifters, relying solely on his own natural strength to survive- there had just been too many close calls.
And he had needed help more than once. How much that ate at his mind was unfathomable except to a few. One day no one was going to be there to help him, even if he hated the very idea of needing help. And if he wasn't ready, where would he be? Put into a position that he allowed for himself to be in, to die. To be sacrificed, like he was already by that bomb the cultists used on them. And next time, he wouldn't be so lucky and he knew it. He still had his reservations about contacting the spirits. But, he felt as if he couldn't avoid it much longer.
Too many what ifs. What if even something so small from the spirits would have helped him? He was sick of it, sick of knowing that might be the only thing he could rely on against their enemy. The only thing that worked when all his other powers were disabled. But even so, there's still more he wanted to know. Because if there's anything he hates, it's wasting time on things that are pointless.]
Video:
[The video feed flickers on, revealing the face of the prince, looking as serious as ever. He gets straight to the point.]
I must know. For those of you who are in contact with the spirits here, what use do you find in their power? Especially in combat. I might even have the patience to listen to a story or two regarding that, as I find it incredibly important in this matter. [He glances off to the side, knowing how this goes in Luceti.]
I know some of you would prefer to speak in person about such things. I'll be at Mythoria Café later tonight. But I won't stay long.
Action:
[As always, he's easily found. During the day, either at House 29 or the Battle Dome training, with both his sword or with his abilities. He does keep his word, appearing at Mythoria Café after he's done training and showered for the day.]

[Action of course]
Collecting her usual Mythoria order (not fish and rice for once), and an extra plate of sushi for her friend, Saori just takes a seat in the booth across from him. Sliding over the extra, she gives him a soft smile. There isn't any teasing to her this time, because hey, this is somewhat serious. And a topic close to her heart.]
So you want to know what sorts of things the spirits here can do?
of course
Yeah. Hopefully more than just the basics.
no subject
May I ask what sparked the question, first? I thought you didn't care for magic.
no subject
But the amount of times I was disabled was absurd. [He figured he was the most unlucky out of everyone on the draft, he swears.] I must of run into every single shifter in the whole place.
no subject
Oh, you didn't run into all of them. I ran into my fair share. That was, in large part, why I decided to learn how to use a gun. It was very helpful.[She'll take a bite before continuing on.] But it's a sound thought. It might give you an edge, though...it will attract those damn dogs.
no subject
[His sushi isn't lasting very long, as he gobbles up a few more quickly.]
no subject
All things considered, that might even be useful. If you draw them in, it keeps them from going after the others here who don't know how to use an edged weapon.
no subject
no subject
But hardly the only useful thing. Which element should I start with?
no subject
no subject
[She holds up a hand and calls up an orb of blue light.]
Nala. The healing spirit. It's the easiest to contact. And it can reverse most injuries, dull pain, even repair broken bones. Honestly, it's the one I use the most.
no subject
I already know plenty about that one from the mere fact that I've been healed from it many times. I want to know more about the other spirits.
no subject
Then knowing you? And how often you and I work together?
Tsinku. The lightning spirit. It's power mostly is to generate and redirect electricity. You could, for instance, redirect natural lightning. Or call it from pre-existing storm clouds, if you practice it enough.
Useful for conserving your own energy, since I can create those thunderheads without much effort, but I've seen how tiring days of ki-blasts can be for you. It's hard for me, too. That's why I keep storms around me most of the time, so I can just draw on and redirect that energy.
Once you've trained with it enough, you can generate electricity from your own body too. But...honestly I never use that because it's much weaker than my own, and natural lightning.
no subject
And does using this power tax the body at all? Because honestly, that's something I'd like to avoid if at all possible. I've got quite a bit of fight in me, but after this last draft, I'd rather not risk it. I'm not always going to have a storm around me to redirect electricity.
no subject
Generating it, yes. But redirecting it? No, no more than punching, really. Don't use it if you're around a storm. The reason I suggest it first is because I can show you how to use it better than anyone else here, and I'm the one who'd be supplying the energy on the draft. So you'd be getting live practice with me immediately.
[Teamwork.]
And it'd provide a good framework for being able to focus the energy, as lightning is more random than fire, which would make the other spirits easier to control.
no subject
I still haven't decided on if I even want to attempt to contact the spirits yet. Don't get ahead of yourself. Besides, I'm not going to always have you around during a draft. We were separated quite a bit during this last draft. So it's important, that if I decide to go through with this, that I learn to generate it myself and train my body to be able to withstand higher amounts of voltage over time.
no subject
You missed the part where I said it would help you learn to control other elements as well. It's a stepping stone, because you have to start somewhere.
And don't forget I can cover an entire battlefield with a storm. You don't have to be right next to me.
[Honestly...]
Next, as far as offensive magic goes is Eferin, the flame spirit. He'll let you create and control flame. That should be relatively self-explanatory.
no subject
I don't want anything to do with Eferin. The nerve of that thing. [He's still bitter about being possessed, and he's not hiding it.]
no subject
Alright, then we'll just move on to Kipinn, the wind spirit. The main way I've seen people use it is to speed their movements, and silence their movements as well. Stilling the vibrations in the air to make it easier to move around without being heard. Like I do, actually.
no subject
[He doesn't even know if Tsinku would bother with him. He's well aware of his own personality.]
no subject
And it depends, but yes, I think you can manage Tsinku. And with enough thought, you can contact any of them. Tsinku should be easy enough, considering your relationship with me.
no subject
[Oh little does he know?]
no subject
no subject
[Or at all. But he guesses he'll take her word for it.]
