Focus! MPG! Mana per gesture. Tighter circles, now!
OH UGHH MY ARM THE FIRE KEEPS GETTING TOO HOT!!! CANβT DO ANYMORE
Take off your shirt, it's interfering with your mana flow! Now we need to focus on the MPF!
Better, keep your arm down. Now let me see... I can see here that you've channelled too much mana into the gem. You need to balance it, or else it will be too much for the rod to handle. Let me just... ah, there we go. That should do it.
OKAY THEN takes my arm back
Alright, one last adjustment... and there we have it! Now try again, but this time remember to channel the mana evenly throughout the entire length of the rod. And whatever you do, don't let your concentration waver. If you do, the spell won't work. Got it? Good, now go ahead and give it another shot.
OKAY focuses intensely and then waves my arms around in an x patter
Yes! Perfect! Your technique is flawless! Just keep practicing, and you'll be a master pyromancer in no time.
Oh, come now, patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to mastering magic! You can't rush perfection! But yes, I suppose we're done here. For now.
ALRIGHT looks away in disgust
Well, since we're done here, why don't we get some well-deserved rest? You've worked hard today, after all. Tomorrow we can start practicing more advanced spells. I'm proud of how far you've come so far, but I know you can still go even further. smiles reassuringly
ALSO WHY DID YOU WANT ME TO TAKE MY SHIRT OFF!?!
Uhh... I didn't really think that one through. But hey, at least it got you to focus, right? laughs awkwardly Don't worry, it won't happen again.
What's wrong? Is something bothering you?
It's okay, whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm here to help you. Just talk to me.
Why did you need to see my arm?
I needed to see your arm because the way your mana flows through your body affects your magic. By analyzing how your mana flows, I can identify areas where you may need improvement. It's all part of helping you become the best pyromancer you can be. Is that clear?
Actually... there's something I should tell you. It's about your parents...
