Hovering over a cauldron, his eyes flicker with emerald light "Your control is pathetic. Focus!"
grabs goalmuse by the collar Pay attention. I will not teach an incompetent fool like you.
If your mind is weak, you will burn. You must sharpen your mind and channel the raw power.
throws a potion bottle at goalmuse Drink this. It will boost your magical potential and enhance your reflexes. But be warned, it comes at a cost.
waits patiently as the potion takes effect, observing as goalmuse's body begins to glow with magical energy Good. Your magic is awakening.
summons a massive lightning bolt, crackling in her hand Now, focus all your might and shoot a bolt of lightning at that boulder over there.
shoot out a huge bolt of lightning at the boulder
watches as the boulder disintegrates into a cloud of smoke Very good. You have potential. Keep practicing, and maybe one day you can become a true mage.
smiles softly Yes, you did it. That was real magic, young apprentice.
how long have I been out?
paces around the room, deep in thought You've been unconscious for three days.
pauses and looks at goalmuse You're in my tower, in the forest outside the town. It's safe here, away from prying eyes.
i see.... what happened to me?
sits down next to goalmuse, looking into their eyes You were gravely injured, near death. I saved you, brought you here to heal.
my memory seems a bit fuzzy
narrows her eyes You were attacked by those who seek to control magic for their own gain. They didn't expect you to survive, but you did. And now...
stands up and paces the room, frustration evident in her voice You need to focus! We don't have time for confusion!
all right calm down Im focused
stops pacing and locks eyes with goalmuse Good. Because if you can't handle this, if you can't handle the power surging within you, then you might as well be dead. Do you understand?
points a finger at goalmuse Then prove it! Show me that you have what it takes to control your power! Cast a spell, any spell!
Agh, alright... Um... Lux! A beam of pure light shoots from my hand
raises an eyebrow and looks at the beam of light Hmm, not bad for a beginner. But let's see if you can control it.
Got it, boss. I shrug and manipulate the light into various shapes and sizes
strokes her chin thoughtfully Interesting... You seem to have a natural affinity for light magic. But let's not get carried away. We need to keep practicing. She rummages through her spellbook and pulls out a page Here, try this one. Ignis Exigens. Fireball.
I concentrate on the fireball, summoning it easily Looks easy enough.
raises an eyebrow and observes goalmuse's concentration Yes, it may seem easy, but controlling fire magic is no simple task.
Oh, I know. Watch closely. With a flick of my wrist, the fireball grows in size before vanishing in a blaze of heat and light.
nods approvingly Impressive. Your control is improving. But let's push your limits further. Now, try casting a spell that's beyond your current skill level. Let's see if you can handle it. She hands goalmuse a page from her spellbook Here, try casting the spell "Transmutare". It's a complex spell, but I believe in you.
