"Ok......Do I use my own strength or Magic? I'm not sure what magic to use in this case." Esmeralda spoke quietly as she walked around the pole.
{Hailey} "You use Air. the fan shape is to help catch a strong, localized gust." *Hailey takes care to take a step away from the stone fan pole, just in case a snapping chip of stone goes flying weird*
"I'll try it." Esmeralda closed her eyes then opened them to make a wind blow against the fan.
"Just a steady wind that gets stronger slowly....." she whispers to herself as she watched the lever moved slowly from herself. Soon the pole snapped and small pieces of stone flew every which way.
"I hope that I did it ok.....The pieces did scatter quite a bit."

{Hailey} "You did great!" *flattens the ground where the broken stone rests*
"Last test for the base elements, which will also double for your Control. try and make a ring of narrow flames circle the lake." *its not a Big lake, but its still an impressive distance* "You can take as much time as you need, even if you want to walk all the way around and encircle it bit by bit."

"Hmmm, it isn't very big so I'll try to stand near the lake and see if I can do. " Esmeralda spoke as she gazed out over the lake.
She estimated the distance by how the crow flies and then walking time. She took in account the wind direction and things that were close to the lake which could burn.
Finally Esmeralda ready herself and pointed the wand out to the right and drew a circle around the lake to make a path for she did not want the fire to get out of control. Once she was back to her left she stepped back from the path or ring. She then envisioned the path heating up until it burst into a flaming ring around the lake.
"How was that?" she asked in surprise.

{Hailey} *starts clapping* "Very good! you are doing wonderful!"
"without any material fuel, it should go out once you think to stop it."
"without any material fuel, it should go out once you think to stop it."
Esmeralda smiled as she quit thinking about the fire which quickly died out.
"This was kinda fun and a lot of fun, Hailey. What shall I try to do next? I used all of the elements unless there are more elements that I don't know about." Esmeralda spoke happily.
"This was kinda fun and a lot of fun, Hailey. What shall I try to do next? I used all of the elements unless there are more elements that I don't know about." Esmeralda spoke happily.
{Hailey} "well, aside from the Base elements and the Aether, there are also 'trace elements', and Artificial elements. Trace elements are elements that are not always present on Earth. While the Base 4 are nearly always present in any terrain, even in tiny amounts, Trace may only be found in a few locations. the most common examples being, 'Nature', 'Lightning', 'Metal', 'Light', and 'Dark'. Nature has to do with life forces, mostly those of Plants, Lightning with static forces, Metal with metal, Light with light, and Dark with translucence."
"As for artificial Elements, well that's a whole other level of complication. they do not naturally exist anywhere, so even if a crystal was able to be created that contained an artificial element, you would need to diffuse several crystals of a high purity to create a small area that might possibly be able to be manipulated. Recyclysim goes into this more."
"and as for what we should do next, I usually find that camping is a good means of developing casual use and helping to get a student to become more experienced."

-Esmeralda was starting to get confused about the various elements.
"SO there are 4 base elements- fire, air, earth and water. There are trace elements that aren't always there and it sounds like they are rare. Artificial elements are even more rare because have to be created with more than type of crystal.......
Did I remember it right?" Esmeralda asked.

{Hailey} "Mostly. you've got the base elements and trace elements right. And the basics of artificial. but you forgot about Aether. Aether is very important to remember."
"Oh, yes Aether. So much to remember! I suppose that in time I will remember everything.
Now tell me about what I need for a camp out, please. I was going to work with Dell and visit two others yet today.........." Esmeralda spoke.

{Hailey} "I will have everything we need ready by tonight. feel free to focus on your other classes in the meantime."
"do you have any more questions on the Elements for now?"
"do you have any more questions on the Elements for now?"
"No not at the moment. I think that I will visit Phi next. I'll save Tektite for tomorrow and then work with Dell until it is time to come back here. What time shall I be here? I need to get a watch or something to tell with......." Esmeralda made a note to do that.
"Where do I get a time piece?"
"Where do I get a time piece?"
{Hailey} "Time is relative, though It'll likely be Lunchtime soon. All the different locations and the different branches are synced up most of the time, but they can diverge. I'm sure that when you get back here, it'll be nearing sundown. Though if you want to keep yourself on-track with a set timeframe, I'm sure Dell has a watch you can use."
"Thanks for everything. I'll be back later than." Esmeralda spoke as she waved bye and started to leave for Tektite's area.

{Hailey} *Hailey is already waiting by the Gate, so that you don't need to walk the hike up the volcano again* *She is packing light, the only things of note with her being a small empty geologist's Backback, and some small excavating/appraising tools* "Are you ready to go?"
"Hi Haily. Yes, I am ready. I brought a few things that I thought would come in handy. What do you think of the tool belt that I made?" Esmeralda spoke happily.
"I brought some food along, my axe and such. George of course. He is really neat. Where are we heading to for the camping?"
"I brought some food along, my axe and such. George of course. He is really neat. Where are we heading to for the camping?"
{Hailey} "always good to have a way to keep track of your stuff. and Hello George! It's nice to meet you."
{George} [8>] *happy*
{Hailey} "As for the supplies you've brought, It's good to be prepared. But be warned, if we go on more camping trips in the future, I may tell you to leave certain things behind. Like the Ax. Using one's control over the elements, a person may have no need for an Ax."
"As for where we are headed, it's just directly down the mountain, to the Forest, near a body of water. Fish make for excellent tests of being able to use the Elements to Survive."

"Ok. I understand. So let's get started. I'd like to see the campsite and get prepared for what ever you have planned for the night." Esmeralda spoke as she tried to keep her voice upbeat. She has the feeling that this set of classes will be harder than the rest of them.
