Welcome to One Power Basics. This is where you will learn some fundamental weaves with each of the five Powers - the bare bones of channeling. These will be one-on-one lessons, written specificly to meet your needs while teaching you.

The class is supervised by the Mistress of Novices and Master of Soldiers.


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

Disappointed as she was when Zaephra Sedai dashed her hopes of a memory purge, it was difficult at first for Sappho to immerse herself in the exercise being described. She did her best, though, and as she bundled that disappointment into a rock and threw it away from herself, the water rose. Thought after troubled thought went into that mountain stream, and it rose until she could almost taste it. Finally she imagined her memory itself as a stone. Throwing that into the water was not only liberating, it brought the water to her lips. She drank of it.

Cold and crisp and clean, that water seemed to send a shiver through her entire body. She could feel the grain of her dress under her hands, and hear her heartbeat even more clearly than she had as she entered Zaephra's study. She heard the Novice across from her shifting, then out of nowhere there was a whiff of an unpleasant, musky scent. The scent of sweat, smelling as only a man's sweat can smell. The water seemed to pour back out of her, and her eyes shot open. In a panic, she looked around. Seeing no-one new in the room, she turned puzzled eyes to Zaephra Sedai.
