Skye Prower

I ALWAYS doubt myself. In everything. 192

"Nwothwing wrong with clwimbing, and I lwike it up hwere," said Skye. "Bwut... yweah, we cwould do with a twable or swomethwing. HEY! I've gwot an iwdea!" beagn Skye, not realised his tree house suggestion had already been put forward. ------------ "Uh, well, that would be necromancy," said Melody. "But before you say anything, it's not evil in itself. Just... mostly used that way..."

"yep, both of those will be easy enough," said melody, flicking through Skye's note to copy. "Of course, distance and familiarity with the object will be the issue with the divination one. And the forcefield, well, it'll stop something once, then you'd need to cast it again." she looked at Shadow a laughed. "Maybe that's where they get it. Saves on having to buy coffee beans in." She turned back to Hope. "Just one type of magic left then... but... er... actually maybe it's best to leave this one out of it, now I think about it," she said uncomfortably.

Thanks for the offer, but I'd have to find the CD's first! And goodnight. Catch you later 190

"Gwreat!" Skye leaned over the side of the branch. "Hwey Ziona, cwan we hwave some pwaper and cwrayons?" he asked. "Yeah, sure thing," said Ziona, creating and handing over some to Skye. Skye gave a happy "Thwanks" then stood up again. "Lwet's stwart!" he said to Dylan with a grin. ---------- "Yep. You've now got a portable toolbox," said Melody. Then she turned to Shadow. "Actually, yes you could. But as it'd disappear in fifteen minutes, it could give you horrible gas or indigestion," she said with a grin. She turned back to Hope. "I think i'll let you chose what spells you want to try for the next two types; Divination and Enchantments. Deviation is for sensing things far away, or for finding out where you lost your keys. Or the history of an item. Enchantments, well, that is obvious, but it actually covers curses as well. Mostly mental effects those. Physical effects tend to come under the first type of magic. So, what spells do you want?"

This is where I should be embarrassed as I've no idea what they're saying... :unsure: 188

Cool link. Yeah, I like a bit of Rammstein as well (though I haven't listened to it for a while) and my uncle gave me a Blind Guardian album. 186

"Okay, let's push on. Summoning and Evocation next. You know what Summoning is, creating an object from thin air. Well, evocation is creating energy from thin air. Well, from magic. That's where your classic fireballs and lightning come from," said Melody with a grin. "Now, Summoning is a little different. it's one standard spell, that you alter slightly to change how long the object will last. This one will last, hmm, about fifteen minutes. What's important is picturing what you want to summon in your head. And if you know how it's made, it'll be a lot easier, and will probably come out correct. For example, let's say we were of equal power and skill, but both tried to summon a computer. You would find it easier, while mine probably wouldn't work. Just be careful not to think of anything to big or complex, or you'll drain yourself." Melody took a deep breath and started writing the next spell. "Now this evocation spell will creating a hovering ball of fire. Think of it like a portable light source, or campfire. But, once you remove the limiting part of the spell, you can make it much hotter, like mobile cutting torch. Or a ball of white hot fire to throw at someone."

All sorts. But normally it's, er, I think it's called Symphonic Metal? Lightish metal, female lead singer, often with an orchestra behind it. Delain, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Evanescence etc 184

"Hmm, I wonder what his sister is like then. So far I've only said hello to her," wondered Harmony ---------- "Yeah, they really are," said Melody with a grin. "There's still another..." she paused a moment, "five types of magic to cover, so we can take a break if you want."

Agreed! Oh so very much! 182

Music is a great boost for me as well. 180

"I hope not. But a good night sleep should solve any issues, unless your really far gone." Melody turned the page in the book. "I've already shown you illusions and transformation spells, and it's obvious what they are. For your illusion spell I'll make it a decoy one. Concentrate on an object, item, person or whatever, and a copy of them will appear wherever you want, that you can see. The copy will either be static, or copy whatever movements the original is doing. But it's just sight. No sounds, touch, smell... and so on," said Melody, waving her hand in the air a bit with the 'so on'. "And from Transformation, hmm, a simple colour change spell. Though this one will require more effect. Transformation does in general. You can change one colour of whatever you're touching or a part of yourself if you wanted. It's what I used a few minutes ago. It'll last... roughly an hour. However, it can only change one colour, no patterns or stripes or stuff like that. Both of those sound good?"

Skye thought and shook his head. "Nah. Mwiley mwakes hwim un... un... uncomwfortwable. I know! Scwourge! (ooc: yeah. It just kinda got ingrained on her thanks to Dylan!)

You do seem a little bit doubtful occasionally.... maybe they cancel each other out? 178

*smiles at Ruby and puts hand from Fluffy* Sorry S-shadow, but I d-don't think t-time passes on the o-outside when w-we're in here.

"Why... can't... you? This.. could.. home!" said Max. "I... I g-guess," said Skye. "By t-the w-way, what's your n-name?"

"I'm surprised Spark likes him. Spark always seemed such a nice, almost shy guy," said Harmony. -------------- "Cool! Now, you see this bit of the spell I'm underlining? Think of this like a training wheel. It restricts how powerful the spell can be, so if it goes wrong it... hopefully.. won't go horribly wrong. Once you get comfortable with a spell, you can leave it out and practice regulating the magical power yourself. I'll be adding it to some of the other spells as well," explained Melody. "OOH! And I know another spell you'd like. If you're tired, this one will make it feel like you've had a proper night's sleep, for about twelves hours," said Melody. "But," she said almost sternly, "Don't overuse it. Because despite feeling otherwise you HAVEN'T had a full nights sleep, and it can bring out the worst in you. I've seen Father use this spell to break people. If you want to see the dark side of someone, cast this spell on them for a week." Her tone lightened again. "But used occasionally it can be a godsend!"

I CAN'T stop talking like this. I'm Scottish. It's hardwired into my genes! :P 176

Max began crying slightly. "Stay?" "Oh Max..." said Kimi sadly. "I know this is hard, but..." "There's nothing wrong with that. I think everyone does," whispered Skye to the Aipom.

*pets Ruby with an adoring smile*

You're both way better than I am. And I doubt I'll get much better than I am. I tend to hit a level and, no matter how I practice, get stuck there. 173

Max gave a little nod. "don't... wan you... go.." Skye bend down next to the Aipom. "Are you wanting her to hug you too?" he whispered.

*sees Fluffy and struggles not to giggle. Pluts Ruby back down in tails* There we are. *covers mouth as well*

Max made a happy sound, while Skye felt a small little prang of jealousy. He looked and saw the Aipom looking at him. "U-uh......."
