The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru lets out a chirp of happiness at being granted permission and does a couple loops around Kascha and the others.

OOC: So, the source we used as reference said Faerie Dragons have immunity to light. Specifically, "spells of the evocation school, such as searing light or sunbeam, and any effect that causes blindness.' Does that mean I can see through the light on the weapon?

[Anastasia]

What source is that, since I don't see it in the Draconomicon.

[Iron Dragoon]

OOC: Huh. I thought I saw that in there. I guess I transposed it from somewhere else. I'll update my sheet.

[Anastasia]

What precisely are you trying to do, Jaela?

[Corwin]

I'm glowing! So I'm trying to control the glow with my will. If I can manage that, maybe I could manage to form a blade of sunlight/starlight, or a gauntlet/sheath.

[Anastasia]

Charisma check.

[Corwin]

[20:21] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+13+2 charisma, good hope

Jaela tries to channel her spells with sheer force of personality. It's hard, like trying to think her way into floating off the ground, as if in a dream that won't cooperate. The halo around her shudders and then explodes out in light, before condensing down around her. It briefly takes the form of a gauntlet before dissipating.

"Goodness!" Kascha's attention turns to Jaela, "Did you just change your spell's shape like that?"

You did manage to make a gauntlet, though doing so ensured your halo of righteousness spell was expended.

[Corwin]

"I did," Jaela confirms, taking a few moments to study the fading magic before recasting the halo. "Am I on the right path?" she asks the angel who gave her the hint in the first place, before glancing over at Mirajane and Afina. "Any insights?"

[Ebiris]

"Oh, what was that?" Afina asks in surprise at the sudden explosion. She hadn't been paying much attention to Jaela's interest in the angel's weaponry, but that sure caught her eye!

[Anastasia]

Mirajane nods just a second before the angel does the exact same thing. The being of light looks over to Mirajane, who merely says, "Yes." Then the angel turns back to Jaela, "I forget how vexing powerful seers are," he admits. "Crafting light is a talent like any other. Some have an inborn talent to do it and refine that, while others learn it as a skill akin to blacksmithing. Your mother sounds as the latter and you may have potential as the former. Most powerful celestials have some talent at it."

[Corwin]

"It's not just light, is it?" Jaela muses. "This feels like it could work with any energy we have a connection with, it's just that light suits us the most. In any case, I think I have enough to practice! Thanks!"

[Ebiris]

"Oh, like Hanna's starcrafting?" Afina asks. She's still sore over spending all that time attached to the hip with Hanna because of 27's warning and then the one time they separated was when her skill would have been useful. "I'm afraid it's outside my area of expertise - I've focused my talents solely on crafting physical matter. This sort of thing is more like a spell than a real object isn't it?" Holding her hand away from Kascha and Arrel she casts flame dagger to demonstrate, a nice dagger of blue-white flames appearing in her grasp.

"Oh hmmmm!" Kascha takes her book out and starts writing anew, "How fascinating! Afina, do you think you could do the same with your spell there?"

[Ebiris]

"No," she shakes her head. "The spell is the crystallisation of the arcane potential within me. Once cast it takes its shape and keeps it until it's dispelled or runs out." This is pretty basic stuff for her to be saying to a group of archmages but she keeps on. "It's no different than say Balyss's moonblade for example. I could slightly alter its dimensions and potency at the moment of casting, but that's all. If you wanted to make armour or weapons out of light, it'd probably be easiest to go with the approach of developing a spell to do it for you."
