12 - [Action]

[winds_voice]

[It's one of those days when Eley feels like heading into the village and perusing the shops to see if he can find anything interesting. Today, he's lucky! Or so he feels anyway, for sitting on a shelf in a brightly coloured orange bottle is some substance labelled only as 'Magic Bubbles'.

Eley had become rather interested in the concept of magic from other worlds since his stay in Luceti, so naturally he found himself wondering what kind of magic could be contained in this bottle. Obviously something to do with bubbles... was it water based then? How did it work? What exactly did it do? The Spirit had to find out for himself, so he wasted no time in taking a bottle and heading outside with it.

He'll be spending the rest of the day doing the following:

First he'll end up sitting by the fountain in the plaza and unscrewing the cap to the bottle to find a strange wand attached to it... It'll take him a while to figure out exactly what the point of it is and you'll likely find him trying to look through the hole at the end or holding it up to the light to inspect the rainbow sheen of the soapy film across the gap.

Eventually he'll try waving the wand (perhaps it's like a tiny scepter?) and thus produce a stream of small bubbles. Ah, so this wand creates bubbles? Interesting! He'll try waving it some more in long sweeping motions... until it runs out.

Not realising the stuff in the bottle is what's responsible for creating the bubbles in the first place, you might find him wandering around the village shaking the wand with varying degrees of ferocity out of frustration that his new toy isn't working anymore.

Later on, he'll have finally figured it out, so you'll likely see some stray bubbles floating around and perhaps a rather easily amused Spirit trying to make new amusing shapes out of the bubbles, or trying to make a huge one... or maybe just trying to make as many as he can by trying to master how to use the wind against the wand in the most effective way possible.

Feel free to play with him! or help him out!]

It's something more recent. [Although it certainly would have helped if she had that ability at home...]

I learned from Nala too!

[She puffed up with pride. Her personality didn't mesh too well with Nala's, so to be frank she was fortunate to walk away with any magic at all.

Eley didn't have to know that part though.]

[winds_voice]

[Someone had obviously been busy. It reminded Eley that he hadn't spoken much with the spirits here, not aside from when Kipinn decided to share a headspace with him more recently anyway.

Jane was obviously pleased with herself too... was she expecting him to be impressed with her perhaps? Was she... trying to impress him or was this what she did with everyone?]

Nala... remind me, which one was that?

[disastergirl]

[Unfortunately she was more than oblivious to his unspoken questions. The smugness shall continue!]

She's the one who teaches healing magic! Learning something like that seemed like it would come in handy.

[Although she certainly had...other reasons for doing so, and she would be lying if she said it wasn't a spur of the moment kind of thing. She preferred not to think about those reasons anymore, though.]

[winds_voice]

Ah yes, now I remember. It must be reassuring to learn. In fact, it is something that I should look into myself. There have been several times where healing would have been useful, yet I was left feeling ill equipped to deal with such a situation instead...

[She certainly has him curious now though. All of a sudden she appeared to be taking an interest in magic. It was interesting.]

Do you hope to learn all of this world's magic then, or did you choose these specifically?

[disastergirl]

Not all of it, just the ones that seem the most useful. [Which meant about half of them from her point of view.] I've got to use every edge I can get. I'm only human, so I've got to do whatever I can to keep up!

[It was easy to feel weak here, especially in comparison to a good portion of the residents in Luceti.]

[winds_voice]

...then you feel weak? Vulnerable here?

[He doesn't hesitate to ask. It's a simple, honest question! Even Eley had seen and experienced things here that were far out of his league and he knew there was every possibility he could get into further trouble in future. But as resilient as humans seemed, they could also be fragile. It didn't surprise him that someone like Jane would wish to get stronger.

He pauses to think a moment.]

If you wished to test your abilities with the wind then perhaps I could help. I would not wish to use it for violent means, but there are other ways it could be useful to you.

[disastergirl]

Something like that. [There wasn't much point to denying that statement at this point, was there? Still, admitting that sort of thing stung a bit...

Eley's suggestion took her mind off of that in a real hurry, though.]

Help? So you can use wind magic too?

[winds_voice]

[He nods.]

I am a Wind Spirit. Though my powers come from my own natural ability, I feel they are not too different to that of Kipinn. Some time ago I found myself influenced by him and it seemed to only further amplify my powers.

I am afraid I cannot help in other areas... unless there are ways of combining these abilities.

[disastergirl]

Well, there might be! You won't know until you try, right?

[...That probably wasn't a good sign, considering that her next target was Eferin.]

Having the chance to combine them sure sounds like an extra edge to me.
