"weather or not you think so, that is how it should be done, and how it can be done. hard to believe for some, but it works. but those who can't go against physical evidence... and i can't calm down enough to try. seems you have to. you act as if you haven't seen magic before...""Magic, thats hard to say, If I went to any 5 or down Civ, me and storm zipping along in Hpyerspace would be seen as magic, you know, ZPE and Anti-mater devices, hell I have 6 micrograms of AM in my head. Ye all that would been seen as magic, until you know how its done. This coin come spoon, its call magic because the real HOW of it is not known, just get some rubbish about inherent magic fields but whats behind them, all Civ's go thought a stage they know what things do but not how they work really, they can replication things by using processes but how on a fundamental level it works not a clue. Like saying fire Demons live in Gunpowder, you do a complex set of ritual wile making of the stuff to make them happy, then one day you for get the rituals and the stuff still go's bang. At that moment you have to change your way off thinking, free it up man, start to think out side what you have been told. I just get the feeling that kind of thinking is holding you back. Ya said you mum and dad did magic right, well I bet they told you all about the rules and rituals and nothing about HOW it really worked. What I am saying is you need to unlearn all that stuff and start from what you know, Like an experimenter realizing making the fire Demons happy in the gunpowder dos nothing really. I sour the spoon OK, thing about just that, forget every thing about magic you know and just be free of it, be free to be the action that made that spoon come into view. No thinking just doing, it how I fly man, I know all the logic and rules of flying I but I make myself forget it all, and just be the movement, that turn man. Freedom from you past, from the things you think you should do, the hours of rules and controls...
"Are you claiming.... THAT IT'S NOT REAL!?" Non-energy explodes out of Adon, being pent up for years released by the godling. every coin in the room simultaneously returns to normal. any creatures who can detect large power- you notice. "YOU INSOLENT FOOL! "fire demons in gunpowder" what kind of IDIOT do you take me for!?!"
Jounny's eyes glow wide as she holds Adons hands in pour rapture at his display, his mouth open in shock she can do nothing bit take it all in.
Then she says
"wow"
Jounny's eyes glow wide as she holds Adons hands in pour rapture at his display, his mouth open in shock she can do nothing bit take it all in.
"OW." Adon's rush wears off, and he falls over. what... just happened...

In unarmed fighting class Tybalt alternates between clawing at people and shifting across the lawn talking to dave in his class. "So how's your day been so far?" He switches places so fast it's almost like theres two of him.Dave just gets up from healing Bradley, hands still lightly smoldering "are you allowed to do this, shouldn't you be in class? I'm doing fine, I just finished kicking this guys butt" he saves with the guy as embers fall off his arm.
He seems to be flickering. "I am look." He points to himself across the lawn owning an npc "I'm pretty quick. Ooh that's gonna sting tommorow. Sorry!" The last is directed at his opponent.
Johnny lets go of his hands and looks at Adon
"^££&£& WOW Man! That was crazy, you just banked out my sencurum and wasted all the magic stuff in the room, wow, it was like a shock wave dude, I thought you may make our coin thing work with a bit of pushing, get you to let go off all that thinking and just go with it, but WOW, that just fan-^%^£*-tastic!"
The rest of the class is looking at Adon and Johnny hows doing a dance.
"You have got to do that again"
Johnny picks up another kids Spoon,
"Look, there all spoons, I can see them"
She gets another,
"Sweat, all of em the whole room, wow, I told ya letting go of all that thinking man, boxing you in"
He comes over and gives Adon the spoons, and in a soft voice says wile holding his hand of spoons
"This is you man, this is who you truly are"
Johnny lets go of his hands and looks at Adon
"^££&£& WOW Man! That was crazy, you just banked out my sencurum and wasted all the magic stuff in the room, wow, it was like a shock wave dude, I thigut you may make our coin thing work with a pit of pushing, get you to let go off all that thinking and just go with it, but WOW, that just fan-^%^£*-tastic!"

"I'm spoons?" he puts his hand to his head. Ugg... it hurts..." he moves his hand to his stomach and pukes all over the floor. "owwwww...."
He seems to be flickering. "I am look." He points to himself across the lawn owning an npc "I'm pretty quick. Ooh that's gonna sting tommorow. Sorry!"

I'm doing fine, I just finished kicking this guys butt" he saves with the guy as embers fall off his arm.
"heh, nice but technically you are leaving class, and teleporting to where he can't see it, as far as tactics go its not bad but it be like me simply flying up 500ft and simply landing on someone, not really sporting, but if the teacher allows it then go fo- ugh did you feel that it was like this wave of... Cold but not cold is the closest I can describe it, I mean I don't feel cold.. What was that"
At the time Adon explodes Tybalt's eyes go wide and he looks around. His opponent makes a rush at him and falls onto the ground as he stops shifting and stands next to Dave. " uh dave are you seeing this? All the shiny is gone! Someone stole the shiny! Oh wait it's coming back now. What could make all the magic stuff go away like that?" He and Dave share one of those looks where you both think of the same thing and know the other knows you know he's thinking it. They chorus "Adon." together.
"I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you. It's never easy finding out that everything you thought you knew was wrong," she said sympathetically.
Ardiente sobbed again, curling tighter around himself. This goes on for a good minute before subsiding. Eventually he uncurls and stands, his face a terrible rictus of rage and hate. Tears streak down his face. "If you know where this Chan is, please tell me. I have to avenge my family's honour. I will kill him if I can." Ardiente's voice is hoarse from tears, and throaty from rage. Sparks fly off of him from various points on his body.
"Magical theory is the inter workings and mechanics of magic. This is not a class for those that wish to use want others have discovered, but a study of how to create things only some can dream of. for those that wish to specialize in the dismantling off the arcane arts of others you will be taught how to cause a spell to fall apart with out breaking a.... The feel in the air changes, causing a chill to come across the class. Items that were enchanted stop working. A book starts pushing it's way out of the satchel upon Salis's side. it only took a moment but the book flew out of the satchel followed by another in a matter of seconds hundreds of books took to the air falling back to earth burying Salis amongst the wreckage. Arrows litter the top of the pile as well as a bottles of ink rolling across the ground.
Johnny jumps out the way as Adon up-chucks.
"I think we need a medical here, any one?"
Adon starts to stand up. "WHAT WAS THAT!? ow.... shouldn't yell..."
Roel falls into a pile in the room. "GARBGLE!" he exclaims as he falls apart. he moves slowly out of the classroom, touches the wall, and thinks of anywhere with a high concentration of energy.
Roel eventually finds himself near sun soul. "AAhhh... there's some energy here... i can move right again...."
Johnny helps him up,
"I may be guessing here but you shut down all the 'magic' and tech in this room just then, I'm picking up no nanites still active, and the coms are off, My internal coms and scenes are repairing right cus, you wasted em. Adon You made that guy over there goo man, all the magic and system in here dead dude, that's what you did"
Pointing at Roel.
"But I can tell you this, that was the real you Adon, the one under all the stuff you where told you where, let out for once into the open and it was amazing"

"But I can tell you this, that was the real you Adon, the one under all the stuff you where told you where, let out for once into the open and it was amazing"
"So.. I'm spoons?" he doesn't seem to be right in the head... "that makes no sense... and why would i make magic dead... thats RUUUUDEEEE....."
"your thinking like mum and dad again Adon, forget what they told you about the rules of what can and can not be done and look at what you DID DO"
Waves a spoon in front of his face,
"All the 'magic' gone, just a spoon now"
Makes little Rabbit ears with fingers at the Magic word.
the flips the spoon in the air and caches it.
The teacher seems to be dealing the students that have lost there helpfull magic holding back the odd power. Some smoke and gas coming of some and the smell of Acid from trail Roel left.

Adon snaps out of it as soon as he sees the mess."wow... so much magic gone in such a short time... you really still don't believe it, do you." *sigh* "i feel odd. perhaps that explosion was pent up energy. i suspect it won't happen again, as that's 15 years worth of excess... stuff... all at once. also, i couldn't see the magic in the spoon in the first place. i just recognized the type of spell. lastly-" he throws up bile. "ugg... from the looks of that, this isn't good."
"Come on in, Anahita." The Headmaster says as the door opens. "Don't worry, you aren't the first person to be sent to my office on the first day. Thirty-second, actually."
At the time Adon explodes Tybalt's eyes go wide and he looks around. His opponent makes a rush at him and falls onto the ground as he stops shifting and stands next to Dave. " uh dave are you seeing this? All the shiny is gone! Someone stole the shiny! Oh wait it's coming back now. What could make all the magic stuff go away like that?" He and Dave share one of those looks where you both think of the same thing and know the other knows you know he's thinking it. They chorus "Adon." together.
Dave looks at the clock waiting for the ability to leave, just a few more miniutes, "hmm the magic just was gone for a few seconds.. Wait Adon was all bemoaning about how we didn't earn our power and that we don't deserve it...you don't think he would actually try to..."Dave cuts off the thought too horrible to think about.
"If you know where this Chan is, please tell me. I have to avenge my family's honour. I will kill him if I can."
He's right here.
When magic gets torn asunder in the school, Taron whimpers and sits down, holding his head in an attempt to relieve the sudden headache.
"No he wouldn't. . . Would he? No . . . Maybe? He seemed angry but not wreck everything for everyone else angry." Tybalt is actually very conflicted by this idea.
After few moments Salis's pushes it's way out of the pile. Followed by the beaten and bloody body of Salis. A barbed arrow can be seen sticking out of the arm that hung just above the satchel. "Is everyone all right? he glances around the classroom at the students. There eyes where wide with fright. Finally a student spoke. "Yes Professor. You were the only one hurt by the event." [b]"Good... Class you are dismissed but I want you to read the first chapter of your book. Just as he finished telling students what to read the wards kick in sending Salis to the medical ward. Appearing in the ward the medics looked at his injuries in a stuper. Almost as if they were trying to figure out what happened to him. "I'll be back and when I get back have a something to cut a small rod of metal." "You injuries have to be treated soon. We have to treat you." One of the medic protested. He turned and hobbled his way back to the events epicenter. Checking in each room that people seem dumb founded in. Till finally making his way to the basic arcana class room.
"No he wouldn't. . . Would he? No . . . Maybe? He seemed angry but not wreck everything for everyone else angry." Tybalt is actually very conflicted by this idea.
"I don't know, I hope not, but I just don't know, he was mad at me just for having and using magic, he didn't seem like he was in the most rational, logical state.. But then it might not have been him... Though it probably was..."
The room is devoid of magic. there is a large amount of puke on the floor, a trail of acid, and adon, who dispte being injured hadn't teleported yet.
He seems horribly ill, and there is a large amount of bile on the floor by this point. magic is starting to return to the room, and once it gets to adon- POP!
adon appears in the infirmary, nearly unconscious.
Rahz was just in the advanced illusions class, not even paying attention to the teacher and instead whispering and writing in his notebook about possible experiments he could conduct while the class was going on when he felt something wrong with the raw magical energy somewhere close by. It interested him slightly, but he figured that the wind would tell him what happened, and so he resumed writing and whispering in Ignan.
"No he wouldn't. . . Would he? No . . . Maybe? He seemed angry but not wreck everything for everyone else angry." Tybalt is actually very conflicted by this idea."I don't know, I hope not, but I just don't know, he was mad at me just for having and using magic, he didn't seem like he was in the most rational, logical state.. But then it might not have been him... Though it probably was..."
"I hope everythings ok. . . Lots of people must depend on magic here. Ooh that tree has apples!" He blinks and returns with an apple stuck to each inch long claw a few in his arms and one inn his mouth. "Hery yaou warnt wurn?"
Dave shrugs, still slightly tense but not able to do anything till excused "sure, I'm not crazy about fruit, I much prefer meat and starches, espically fish, but apples are supposed to be healthy so sure" he grabs the apple.
Ori was curled up in the corner. From the moment that the....pulse? Wave? What was it? She didn't know. All she knew was that her seal was nothing more than useless crap now. No. Nonononononoooo. It was happening all over again.
"Everyone...."
"EVERYONE OUT OF THE CLASSROOM NOW! GET THE HEADMASTER! HURRY!!!!!!"
She was starting to lose her grip on it. She could feel the classroom getting smaller. She could feel the rage starting to pour through her.
"Yer arpprs rerck. Werl gertter gert berk ta clerss. Ser yer." He returns to class now adopting chucking apples at sparring opponents as the main defense. It's a good strategy. Especially from unexpected angles.
Giant hands made out of paper form suddenly and start tossing people out of the room(gently). Once everyone is out of the room, Oneiro turns to Ori, paper sword at the ready.
"Calm down and get the Spirit under control, Professor."
"I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you. It's never easy finding out that everything you thought you knew was wrong," she said sympathetically.
Ardiente sobbed again, curling tighter around himself. This goes on for a good minute before subsiding. Eventually he uncurls and stands, his face a terrible rictus of rage and hate. Tears streak down his face. "If you know where this Chan is, please tell me. I have to avenge my family's honour. I will kill him if I can." Ardiente's voice is hoarse from tears, and throaty from rage. Sparks fly off of him from various points on his body.
"Been there, done that. Twice. It didn't take the first time. The second time....his soul is imprisoned for all eternity or until all of its energies have been used up and it is utterly destroyed. You'll want to ask Krays for the details on that. Once it got to that point I didn't want to know...."
"....He wasn't always bad. He was a child once. Who like to play kickball and climb trees and all the other things that children do. I don't know when exactly things went wrong or entirely why. But somewhere along the way the brother I loved became a monster. He....he was everything the legends always claimed about our kind....it's like all that hate made it real....the brother I knew died a long, long time before we killed him. That's what I do know."
Giant hands made out of paper form suddenly and start tossing people out of the room(gently). Once everyone is out of the room, Oneiro turns to Ori, paper sword at the ready.
"Calm down and get the Spirit under control, Professor."
You see a familiar sight before you as her skin has already turned to bark and she's grown to a size that wouldn't fit in the room if the room didn't adjust. Luckily the magic is still low in here so the room adjusts slowly. It seems to be slowing her down. The antlers are starting to grow from her head, and the earth is beginning to tremble.
"Come on in, Anahita." The Headmaster says as the door opens. "Don't worry, you aren't the first person to be sent to my office on the first day. Thirty-second, actually."
Anahita proudly walks into the room and greets the Headmaster while presenting the note that the teacher had written.
When she does, she takes a seat if indicated (or is visible) and says simply, "I did nothing wrong, but offer a suggestion. If that is a violation of my ability to be a student here, then .. something is amiss."
Regardless, she then peers around and inspects the room, then peers at the Headmaster to consider his face/features, before looking at what's on the table and near area.
At one point, however, she looks off, specifically in the direction of the anti-magic effect, or field that Adon created, and frowns, losing all expression. Her right hand scratches idly the chain on her left hand before she blinks twice and then looks back at the Headmaster.
"Something is amiss. More than my issue with that teacher." She could feel it in the ties she had to the surrounding area.
"Yeah, I didn't think that would work." Oneiro mutters as he throws the sword at the creature. At the last moment it bursts into chains that lodge into the walls, ceiling, and floor of the room, binding the creature in place. "Will someone PLEASE go get the Headmaster? Any of the teachers would do actually!"
Ori roars and roots come shooting out of the ground tearing through the paper chains. The stone beneath her begins to tremble as she stands.
Alarms start blaring in Aananda's lab.
"Ardiente....hold that thought. I'm sorry...it's...."
She hit a button on her headband. "Ryo, I've got a code magenta registering in the basic arcana classroom.....make that a code magenta AND a code cerulean. Is containment already on the way there? I can be there in two minutes, but I'm....kind of in the middle of a situation here..."
"Is everyone ok? He calls into the first class room he comes to. Once everyone looked at him blankly he just moved on knowing everyone in that one was ok. As he turned down the hall to his own classroom. He heard the scream of students as the rushed through the hall. He quickly reacted by stopping one and asked. "Whats going why is every one rushing away?"
Roots come crashing through the wall of the classroom people are running away from.
The Headmaster's office is rather plain, with the exception of the ornate window to the gardens, and a painting of the school that always seem to change when no one is looking at it.
The Headmaster himself is wearing robes the same colors as the school uniforms- green over white. His hair is neatly combed and bright red, matching the intricate crimson tattoo that covers the left half of his face. His desk is slightly cluttered, and there is a deck of cards sitting off to one side.
"It's not, and you are not in trouble, but the first day is often the worst for teachers. Especially new ones. If you would like, I can arrange for suggestion to be used. Like a study period, just for one class. You wouldd have the same lessons you would in a regular class though."
He glances in the direction of the anti-magic when Anahita does, and frowns, unsure.
"If you'll excuse me, I have to go make sure the school isn't broken. You are free to wait here until I return or go back to class." He vanishes and, strangely enough, so does the deck of cards on his desk.
Reappearing in the Basic Arcana class, Ryo looks at Ori with a slightly disappointed look on his face.
"Don't worry, Aananda, I'm taking care of this personally. Kind of my fault anyway, since I technically hired Professor Reading."
"Now, Professor, is this really necessary? Honestly, the Nature Spirit is trapped inside a stone building. I would think it would be weaker. Oneiro, you can leave. Thank you for your assistance." He adds, sending him to the hall with a gesture.
Ori is well past being able to verbalize and the nature spirit is fully in control. Its roots lash out smashing everything in its path. Desks are left as nothing but splinters and the stone walls of the classroom are full of cracks.
"Nevermind! Get to safety!" Salis Leaps over the heads of the students running away and dives into his classroom. Quickly he starts rummaging through the pile of books till he uncovers his bow. Quickly he swipes up the bow and a quiver of arrows and turns to the door. He is obviously badly injured as the barbed arrow is still stuck in his arm and the injuries across his body from the books have yet to be healed away.
Ace was sitting in his History class when the commotion erupted. Unsure of what's happening, but unable to resist assisting, he leaps to his feet and darts out into the hall.
Seeing Salis injured he calls to him "Professor, wait!. Let me heal your wounds!!." He runs over and halts right next to him, waiting permission.
