Since our magick is naturally a part of us, extending it outward from us is simple.
Kintal
►
◄
Through our auras, we don't even notice we're doing it.
Kintal
►
◄
Whenever we use our magick, what we're doing is focusing that ambient part of us into something more.
Kintal
►
◄
Which is what we will do now.
Kintal
►
◄
Since I'm teaching you, open your eyes and watch what I do, for now. You can follow in my footsteps after. Just be sure to stay relaxed.
Kintal
►
◄
Much like casting, I can focus my magick into a physical form.
Kintal
►
◄
If I was to draw my aura to a single point, right above my hands... slowly...
Kintal
►
◄
A ball of energy begins to form.
Kintal
►
◄
But much like flexing a muscle, this energy is tense.
Kintal
►
◄
I am drawing my magick and bringing it all to a point. That is why it becomes a ball. Even, smooth. Some may remember this as a basic first step in learning casting.
Kintal
►
◄
But the point of what we're doing is not to be tense like this, but to relax it.
Kintal
►
◄
What I'm going to do is relax this focus just enough.
Kintal
►
◄
Not that it returns all to my aura, but enough that it relaxes from its form.
Kintal
►
◄
In doing so, it will become a reflection of myself. Inner feelings, those that I may not be even aware of.
Kintal
►
◄
It may take some practice to know how much to relax, but that's what we have the time for now.
Kintal
►
◄
If I relax just enough now...
Kintal
►
◄
There.
Kintal
►
◄
A new shape appears.
Kintal
►
◄
And with this shape, you, or anyone watching, can have insight into you.
Kintal
►
◄
Illos, you should be able to analyze. What does this say about me?
Kintal
►
◄
A small ball, at the end of a spiral.
Illos
►
◄
If I had to make a guess, the spiral would be representing... well, not turmoil, but more surprise.
Illos
►
◄
It ending in a ball shows a lack of hostility at the surprise, but more... reservation.
Illos
►
◄
A fair assessment.
Kintal
►
◄
Now as long as I hold this here, it will maintain this form, or maybe even change further.
Kintal
►
◄
If I release it, it will slowly fade and return to my aura.
Kintal
►
◄
But for now, let us practice all of you learning this technique, yes?
