Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:34:42 PM)
"Do you have a different tool to do such effects with?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:35:25 PM)
She nods. "Yeah..." She smiles. "I actually as use a candle for 'em."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:35:44 PM)
"Show me?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:35:58 PM)
"I mean...if you use different tools, show me. I'm just trying to give you a formal lesson."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:37:22 PM)
She pulls a squashy looking tea candle out of her pocket. "I use this as for the map stuff...and as my lighter for anything as deals with fire. For Entropy I got this deck of cards...could as use any deck, really, I go through 'em fast. And...if I want as to know what's something made of, and where its weak points are, I poke it with a stick." She offers Tarra a lopsided smile. "Don't as sound so magical, I guess."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:37:44 PM)
"No, I use tarot. that's cool. I completely understand."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:38:09 PM)
She grins. "Okay! So what's as next?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:38:34 PM)
She laughs. "I explain, I show you the foci I use, and if you know what I'm taling about, then you just show me what you can do. I think it works beter that way."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:38:49 PM)
"Okay," Amber says. "I can do that."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:39:17 PM)
"entropy is about weakness, randomness and decay. I usually use a fibonnacii sequence, or a number like e or the natural logarithm. Sometimes people use sand to demonstrate randomness, or rust for the decay..
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:39:24 PM)
"Show me how you do it."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:43:20 PM)
"Okay...is there an ash tray round here?" She hunts around for a moment, and eventually turns up something she can use, even if it's just a bowl from the kitchen. She takes what looks like half a deck of cards from her pocket, shuffling them. Then she cuts the deck, draws one from the top, sets it on fire and drops it in the bowl.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:46:14 PM)
"Why did you set it on fire?" she smiles, intrigued.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:46:48 PM)
"See, that's a weird question as for me. When I first saw someone else as do magic, the first thing I asked was how he did it without fire."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:47:52 PM)
She nods. "Does the fire show you how things burn?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:48:39 PM)
She smiles. "Yeah. And as how other stuff is gonna go down. The fire as shows me lots of stuff."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:49:16 PM)
"I see." She smiles. "So you're definitely rooted in fire. Want to try another one?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:49:42 PM)
"Sure!" She grins eagerly.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:49:43 PM)
"Light that candle there without using your lighter. Forces. The basic transmssion of all forces, electromagnetism, etc. Newton's Bitch."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:51:33 PM)
"But...I..." She looks confused. "I usually as use my lighter to do stuff as like that..." She blinks. "Are you saying as I could control magnets, too?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:52:57 PM)
"Yes."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:53:50 PM)
"Magnets, fire, sound, light, power. it's the sphere of power. also often used in summoning angels."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:54:43 PM)
"Angels?" she asks incredulously. "I didn't think as those were really real. But as...I can do all that?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:54:53 PM)
"back to the lesson." he smiles
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:55:09 PM)
She smiles. "So can I use the lighter, long as I light the candle with magic?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:55:52 PM)
"Yes, so long as you do that. but you can't hold them together. Try to transfer the heat from one to the other
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:57:01 PM)
She nods. "Alright..." Taking the lighter, she flicks on the flame...concentrating for a moment before the fire jumps from the lighter to the candlewick. "Cool!"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:58:28 PM)
"Corrsespondence, check. entropy, check. Forces, check. Life is next.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 9:58:59 PM)
"Life?" She tilts her head to one side. "I don't think I've ever done nothing to anything living."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 9:59:36 PM)
"Life can be signified with pure water, with the pentacle, the symbol of venus.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:00:39 PM)
"Huh...so what should as I try?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:01:16 PM)
She pours out the seeds. "What kind of seeds are these?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:01:27 PM)
(petunia, for the record)
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:03:07 PM)
"...plant seeds?" Amber guesses poorly. She tries looking at them through her lighter, to no avail. "It ain't as no good...I can't as do it."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:03:52 PM)
"sprinkle a little of the water on t, see if that helps. Water is the focus for all things that live on this world. without water, there is no life.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:04:38 PM)
Amber sprinkles the water on the seeds. "They're as more wet now...I could as tell you what they're made of, but not what as they'll grow into."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:05:02 PM)
"Alright. Then what are they made of?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:05:12 PM)
she smiles and lets her do this. There are no wrong answers in this quiz.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:06:01 PM)
Amber rattles off the chemical composition of petunia seeds, without even a beat of hesitation.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:06:52 PM)
"Matter. Check."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:07:04 PM)
'Did ou use anything for a focus?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:08:55 PM)
"I tried as to channel it through the water, as like you said, but it were really hard again. Like using the hologram for Correspondence."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:09:36 PM)
"So that one comes naturally to you? You can just see it?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:11:43 PM)
"I wouldn't as say naturally...I were just trying real hard as to figure something out about the seeds. It's something as I can do."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:17:06 PM)
Amber shrugs.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:18:18 PM)
"Alright. Mind. The control of it, as well as the applications."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:18:52 PM)
She tilts her head to one side. "I ain't never tried to do something like that..."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:19:02 PM)
"The ascendancy of reason through will." she puts down the hebrew words. "I use language for this one. Do you want to try?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:19:23 PM)
She nods. "Okay. What should I as try to do?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:19:45 PM)
(god I have forgotten what mind does.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:19:54 PM)
"I'm thinkingof a shape in my head. Tell me what it is."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:23:09 PM)
Amber tries...even taking her lighter and writing letters in the air with the flame. She shakes her head after a long while. "Nothing. I might as be able to figure it out with Entropy, but I can't as read your thoughts."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:23:30 PM)
"Ok. you're doing great."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:24:00 PM)
"Prime is the flow of energy, the thing that makes the supernal work. it's what powers all of our energy, and everything."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:24:19 PM)
"Okay." Amber grins. "Oh...it's as like what the fire was trying to tell me."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:24:28 PM)
"Show me?"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:25:35 PM)
She shakes her head. "I as can't...I ain't able as to do it yet. I tried and I as tried...I want as to learn, though. I think...maybe then as I could hide it from folks?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:26:11 PM)
(afk a few)
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:26:53 PM)

Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:39:53 PM)
(np)
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:41:02 PM)
"I want you to look int o the pure energy of this. Tell me what you see."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:41:58 PM)
"Okay..." She looks for a moment, then shakes her head. "I can't as...it's like it's just out of reach. I know its there but I can't as touch it."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:44:08 PM)
She nods, marks prime down. "Spirit."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:44:36 PM)
She shakes her head. "I can't as see ghosts or nothing. I don't think I got that one."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:45:30 PM)
"ghosts and the spirits and the higher realms. Sometimes they are channeled through this." She puts down her seal of solomon. "just hold it, tell me if you feel anything"
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:46:14 PM)
Amber holds it up...squeezes it in her palm...and finally looks at it through the flame. At last she hands it back. "Nothing."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:46:45 PM)
She nods. Then she picks up the pocketwatch. "Finally, we have time.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:46:59 PM)
"time, like space, is illusory. This helps us to understand and contro it."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:47:19 PM)
"Oooh..." Amber looks at it in wonder. "That sounds real useful."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:47:59 PM)
"If you use fire...think of it this way. material holds heat in units of time. fire burns for time as long s there are available elements. the flame flicers as the gas leaves at a rate. combustion depends on time.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:48:35 PM)
She nods, quietly, comprehension dawning on her face. "I ain't never tried to change time..."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:49:13 PM)
"Want to try, and then we'll go downstairs, talk to the rest."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:49:43 PM)
She nods. "Alright! Um. Do you mind not telling folks as exactly what I can do?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:50:29 PM)
"It's between you and I, sweetie."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:51:15 PM)
She beams her gratitude, smiling broadly at the other woman. "Thanks..." Reaching for the pocketwatch, she asks, "What should I try?"
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:52:14 PM)
"Tell me exactly how long a minute is. And don't look at the watch."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:52:18 PM)
"just hold it."
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:53:14 PM)
Amber nods, holding the watch facedown. After some 44 seconds, she says, "Now!" Chuckling slightly, she admits, "I don't think I did any magic, though..."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:54:07 PM)
"no, I don't think you did. so...you can work all but mind, spirit, life and time.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:54:14 PM)
(did I get that right?)
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:54:41 PM)
"I can't as work Prime yet, either," Amber says. "But I've been as trying. I think maybe as I will be...in time."
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:55:10 PM)
"Alright. We'll find out how strong ou are in all of them another time." She offers the girl a hand up.
Tarra Shapiro (Feb 8, 2011 10:55:25 PM)
"LEt's not be bad people and go greet the others.
Amber Lux (Feb 8, 2011 10:55:51 PM)
"Okay!" Amber grins, getting up without Tarra's help. "I'm okay, but thanks. And sure! I can as go say hello."
