Act I Chapter III
==>
Lastly, the aspect of LIGHT deals with light energy, although being able to shape it into a much more concentrated and intense beam. Competent users of this aspect can even steal the light from a place, making it darker!
“Light-bearers are relentless truth-seekers. They have an innate desire for knowledge, and will stop at almost nothing to get the answers they seek. They are the type of people who would play a video game or watch a movie another time over just to get a few more details out. To light-bearers, nothing is ever off-limits. However, this pursuit for clarity ironically makes their sense of self unclear: their dedication to the truth is so strong that they may forgo their friends, their health and even their own moral compass in order to achieve it. Thus, light-bearers tend to face a moral dilemma between their conquest for objectivity and their own humanity. They are usually quick-witted, curious and humorous. But when gripped by the truth, they can appear ruthless, demanding or aggressive.”
FENFERRA: No running away from this one, Dell.
FENFERRA: You’re a light major.
CANDELL: Could we like… not do this?
CANDELL: It’s technically still optional.
TENEBRIS: but where’s the fun in that?
CANDELL: Well, anyone else a light major? By any chance?
CANDELL: (Please save me)
AURORA: Oh actually, I’m a light major too.
CANDELL: Oh thank god.
CANDELL: Would you mind showing some light powers? I’m not really feeling up to it today…
FENFERRA: He’s giving excuses.
FENFERRA: You got anything, Aurora?
AURORA: Not that I don’t, but…
AURORA: A lot of my light magic is combat-oriented.
AURORA: I’m not sure if we can even use that kind of magic in settings such as this…
FENFERRA: Awww. Could you explain what you can do, then?
AURORA: Oh, I’d be happy to.
AURORA: …So one of my favourites is a beam attack.
AURORA: The concept is simple, really. You conceal light within a small sphere so it keeps bouncing around inside and increasing in intensity.
AURORA: Then when it’s done “charging” you open a hole and let it blast out.
ONNYX: So it’s something like a laser
AURORA: Well if you put it that way… it sounds more like a cheap 23rd century film gimmick.
AURORA: But yeah. A laser.
AURORA: I’m honestly surprised why they don’t teach us a similar offensive maneuver in middle school. It’s not too difficult to do once you get a hold of it.
ONNYX: Hmm, now that gets me a little interested
ONNYX: How effective are those beams?
AURORA: Well… I’ve blown holes in walls trying to practice before.
NEFFERIN: drywall or
AURORA: I don’t know, man. Pretty sure there was concrete in there.
NEFFERIN: oh dang
ONNYX: Wow. I’ve never thought to use Light that way
ONNYX: It’s only my minor aspect, but I’ve got to say that is impressive
AURORA: Hehe, thanks!
AURORA: Still not a very good idea to try here, though.
ONNYX: Understandable
FENFERRA: Heheh, that sounds pretty darn amazing.
FENFERRA: My pal over here doesn’t have anything like that.
She lands an obnoxious slap on Candell’s back. Again.
CANDELL: Oh come on. You make it sound like my attacks are weeny.
TENEBRIS: well are they
He facepalms.
CANDELL: What would you do if I said yes?
TENEBRIS: i have no idea
TENEBRIS: laugh??
AURORA: I’m sure Candell is great too.
AURORA: (I hope.)
CANDELL: Uh huh. Yes I am.
FENFERRA: Uh huh, sure you are.
