The teachers, usually one Accepted and one Dedicated, are chosen on a rotational basis. Contact Elyscia Mordel Sedai or Anahi Asha'man if you are interested in helping teach this class.

To join the class, post to the sign-in sheet and then please post a message in which your character arrives in the private classroom in the lessons thread. Good quality of roleplay is expected, as are posts of decent length. One Power Basics is meant to meet four simply goals:

-to evaluate a student's current knowledge of the One Power

-to explain the differences between saidar, saidin and the Five Powers

-to walk a channeler through touching the True Source for the first time

-to walk a student through channeling for the first time.

If the student already knows how to channel, then they should demonstrate their proficiency by preforming a simple weave.

In order to pass this class the student must make 6 posts of 200 words each, minimum. Once a student has completed the class, their teacher will send him/her a certificate, so that it can be used as a raising requirement.

That said, this class is meant to be enjoyable. This is also a good time for the instructor to put any fears or concerns a new channeler may have about the One Power more at ease. I hope you have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to email the Mistress of Novices or Master of Soldiers

Weaving a (piece of) yarn
Sappho email Posted on: Apr 3, 2010 04:05:17	Sappho turned her complete attention from the other Novice to the strands of yarn. After a moment's thought, she grasped the strand of white yarn. "I think..." she said hesitantly, "I think you could take the air and sort of push it, and you could make a breeze." Holding one end of the strand in each hand, she made a pushing motion to demonstrate. "If you pushed really hard, you might even knock someone over." She paused, studying the yarn. Another thought struck her. "I'll bet, if wrapping fire around the wick lights a candle, you could put it out again with Air!" She wrapped the white strand over top of the red one. "Like blowing the candle out," she added. Like lighting, inspiration struck again. She snatched at the yellow-gold yarn, then stood and approached the other chair. Meiris seemed strangely taken aback, but Sappho tied the yarn around the Novice's head, and announced, "And Spirit must be able to protect someone's mind." That was a very appealing thought indeed. If someone could protect her mind, maybe that could take away some of her worst memories so she'd be free to think clearly.
