Family Reunion

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa pulls Shifting Steel into the air before her and begins chanting a spell, using it as a focus.

Aireal Assembly. CL 32.
8 copies.

[Anastasia]

The spell is cast, Ianvasah watching them all. She is silent a few moments after, "...Impossible," she breathes out, "What are you doing?!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa grins mischievously and wiggles her fingers.

"Magic!"

[Anastasia]

"Don't be smart," Ianvasah retorts, "Explain this!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa chuckles.

"The concept is similar to the basic spell Create Food and Drink. It's far more complex, of course. I use a weapon, any weapon, as the base template for the spell and then adds the effect of the Dancing Blade spell to it. Since the weapon already has enchantments, the spell simply arranges to mimic it."

I straight up don't know enough about magic spell details, so I just sorta threw something out.

[Anastasia]

The druid rises, body clay and unclad, but no details. Rather like a doll, an unfinished thing. In moments her form shifts, becoming that of a rather pretty half elf, perhaps in her 20s by human years. Strawberry blonde hair and a gimlet gaze, marching over and wearing plain, unremarkable tunic and skirt. "I did not know such was possible," she says, "What have you done?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"In what way? I thought I explained the spell?"

[Anastasia]

"There's no such things like magic you're casting, yet you cast it!" she explodes, "How?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa looks confused.

"I created the spell? Unless... Do you mean where I got the power from?"

[Anastasia]

"No!" Coming right up to you, staring into your eyes, "That is a spell beyond the 9th circle! That's what!"

"Oh!" Emily puts a hand to her mouth. "Oh!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Oh. Yes. It's 12th circle, at the base. There's a lot of magic beyond 9th circle, but you have to be unusually powerful. Emily here is capable of magic beyond the 9th circle as well."

[Anastasia]

"Oh. Oh. Well, I can show you the rites and methods to go beyond the ninth circle. Not everyone discovers them or chooses to pursue them," Emily smiles at that, "Would you like me to teach you? My Mom taught me and she had a great way of teaching the lessons."

Ianvasah gapes again, "Mercy," she finally slumps. A long, ragged breath, "If you would teach me such rare things, then I would learn them."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well... I'm not trying to dangle a carrot in front of you, but I think a little prudence is called for. We've only just met you, so the content of your character isn't entirely clear yet. I think a bit of time spent together before we go teaching you how to break through the 9th circle is called for. That's not the sort of thing we can just go around granting people, you know. I certainly won't stop it from happening, but I think a little get-to-know-you first is best."

[Anastasia]

"That is wise," Ianvasah agrees, "Let's go somewhere and talk."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods.

"By the by, what was your issue with the King? All he would say is he wanted you gone. It seemed like he simply didn't want someone of your power around, but these things usually have other motivations behind them."
