EVIE
I want your midnights
A hysterical sort of relief swells up at the successful hit, her irritation slightly mollified by the success of this round. Now that she has some semblance of an idea of what to do, she listens intently for the next three clicks coming from within the swirling storm of the blizzard, spinning to hopefully meet it.

This time she extends her control to the debris on the ground, not pulling it into her hand this time, but instead yanking as hard and as fast as she can on the area beneath the dummy's legs. Hoping to cause it to wobble or trip over instead of using a repeated version of her offensive attack.



Evie turns 270 degrees from start (additional 90 from last position) and tries to trip the dummies by moving the dirt and rocks under their feet.

It seemed both students finally figured out the pattern, but that did not guarentee their weak magic would succeed.

Evie might have been clever, but the dummies were thoroughly rooted beneath the ground. Her attack was utterly useless, and the dummy ran into her again, shocking her once more before it retreated into the snow and wind.

Morgan finally got back on her feet though, correctly locating the dummy and then an external gear. It creaked then cracked, bringing it to a shuddering halt. But of course, it wasn't the end of the dummy as it went hiding back in the blizzard.

Ten, eleven, twelve - the dummies click into place before charging the students again.

AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR NEXT POST, SAY HOW MANY DEGREES CLOCKWISE OR COUNTER CLOCKWISE YOUR CHARACTER TURNS TO ATTACK. For example: Zariah turned 180 degrees clockwise and attacked. If you don't state the direction and degrees of the turn, I will choose for you at random!

Okay, so a bit of a leap there, but Evie doesn't let the failure dissuade her too much. At least now she knows the dummies are far too solid to knock off balance from below, and that perhaps her best bet lies in her first two attacks. The dummies retreat, and Evie's ears strain for the signal of winding back up, her own feet turning in tandem to keep them in proper range.

This time she's going to try a combo of both her successful attacks. After all, they're trying to stretch their limits right? So when the dummies rush forward once more, she uses her magic to cast the stones and dirt against the center mass like a target, while trying to direct the smaller debris into its gears. She doesn't want to fail when she's so close.



Evie turns 360 degrees from start, 90 from last position. She mixes her two previously successful attacks to try and get dirt in the gears and/or hit their bodies.

MORGAN
With a success Morgan felt triumphant, even though the fight was far from over; feeling the gear studder to a halt and fail within the dummy was a satisfying way to know she had for the moment won and she stepped back ready to attack again, turning to where she thought she could hear the dummy and see a faint shadow in the snow.

Holding out a hand she aimed to grab the dummy's head and twist it as hard as she could with her telekinesis magic to try and snap the neck of the machine, hoping the joints might be the weakest points - much like on a living person.

Morgan turns 90 degrees, to where the '12' would be on a clockface: so like this.

In the final hour it seemed both the students finally hit their stride. Evie's assault on the dummy proved extra effective, and it ground to a halt before it reached her. Morgan similarly beat her dummy to the punch, its head hanging limply to the side, rendering it broken and useless.

As both dummies were effectively taken out, the illusioned blizzard faded away. Slow clapping rang out in the ring as Zariah descended the stairs, a pleased expression on her lips. "Very good, both of you. Quite impressive." she said with a small smirk. She had thought this test far more difficult than the first, so she really was impressed with their quick thinking and creative use of their limited capabilities.

"Tell me what you learned from this lesson." Zariah said, looking to each of the students.

MORGAN
The blizzard slipped away and Morgan blinked a couple of times to get used to the new sudden visibility, smiling as she saw that her dummy was ruined; looking across to Evie and seeing that she had succeeded as well, she thought it might be prudent to get to know this girl soon. She had need of strong people in Halo at the moment, especially mages...

She considered saying something rather rude in response to Zariah's question, finding it condescending to say the least, but she forced herself to hold back the biting remark. "To be creative with my magic and consider the little things I can do to destroy the bigger picture." Morgan stated flatly, thinking of the gears she had stopped.

Success feels like a burn of fire up her throat and she has to clench her teeth to keep from shouting aloud in triumph. The blizzard dissipates, leaving her blinking uncertainly for a moment even as her hands rise in anticipation for more. Instead clapping rings in the empty space, and she slowly relaxes as Zariah speaks, blue eyes darting over to see that Morgan has passed as well. She gives a small quirk of a smile, but they have a question to answer.

"Yes, definitely creativity. But also knowing the limits of what you can and can't do, and being familiar with those boundaries." Such as her failure with moving the earth underneath the dummies. At least now she knows it's not something she can do with an opponent that heavy as of now.



Please upgrade Evie's Earth Magic! Yay!

Zariah watched each closely as they spoke. Morgan seemed a bit disgruntled, but Evie was clearly enthralled from her victory. The redhead earned herself a hint of a smile for that - little rewards you see. Not every one had to be grandiose or over the top. Seeing behind the porcelain mask every so often was oftentimes enough.

"Very good and well considered answers. It seems you both understand the purpose of this test. Knowing how to use all levels of your magic under harsh conditions is what separates masters from novices. A novice with all mastered magic stands no chance against a master with only basic magics." she said. Power wasn't only brite force, but how one used what they had.

"You are dismissed."



YAY you passed! I will let the mod team know to uodate your accounts. Thanks for playing!
