"... I think, perhaps, Bastian might be the best for this. Though that might be too much, too fast. Jarem can show you the life of the lowest soldier. That might be an appropriate start."

[Anastasia]

"If it helps," Emily says, "Mom's always taught me there's more to learn and more to grow."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "That will serve well. Go on, Dolmaya."

[Anastasia]

"Think about that," Dolmaya says, then to you, "Alyssa, how do you like fighting?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'm not a primary combatant. I rose in power through field research, so I'm more of a jack of all trades. I know I have the power to become a direct combatant, and I'm learning to become that, but... I'm a transmuter and that sort of thing is the realm of Evocation, which I'm helpless with. As of now... I say I focus on defensive spells and skirmish support. Mid to long range spells and Life-Drinker for close. Offensively, I lean more towards weakening and softening things for those who can hit harder, like Emily.

There's much new magic I have to develop in transmutation to make up the difference, and I have change the way I approach direct combat, I think."

[Anastasia]

"What are you doing wrong?" Is the natural question back.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I've been thinking on that. I'm using too many of my high level spells for defensive spells to cover everyone. We're going to have to share the load, so to speak. I went into our last fight having cast something around 20 spells for everyone."

[Anastasia]

"Share the load so everyone can fight better," Dolmaya agrees, "What spells do you need going out for a worthy battle?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Energy immunity for one. One or two of those Dragon Princess spells would be great."

[Anastasia]

"Those are good," Ianvasah says, "What other spells? What about planar protections or mental protections?"

"Those are important," Emily says, "Also spells like greater heroism, but I can help with that."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "I am immune to most planar effects. Mind Blank is easy for me to put on everyone."

[Anastasia]

"Anything else? Mage armor?" Emily suggests.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa waves that off, "Easy for me."

[Anastasia]

"Well, who can manage what?" Emily asks, "We should make a list, Alyssa."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "I'll make a list and people can take over what they want."
