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

Watching the transformation made Sappho's head spin. It became clear that it was Meiris she had smelled. Even more puzzling, it became clear that the boy - a Soldier, presumably - was frightened. Was it the Mistress of Novices that frightened him? That would be reasonable... but no. His fear seemed directed at Sappho herself, as well. Why? She surely couldn't appear threatening to any man!

As she hung on the edge of panic, she recalled what Zaephra Sedai had said about this student. Had she said it was a Novice? No, I just assumed! Blast Aes Sedai and their word-twisting! What had the woman said? That Meiris had... a similar fear. That they were both from Far Madding. There was only one conclusion Sappho could draw, and it wasn't a pretty one. There were several nights' worth of thinking to do, here.

That aside, Sappho knew, knew, deep in her soul, that here was a man who presented not the slightest threat to her. Still puzzled, but full of sympathy for the boy so much like herself - she had sensed a kindred spirit when she saw him, and to her shock this was not changed by his sex - Sappho crossed the short distance between them with alacrity, knelt, and grasped the boy's mittened hands gently in hers. She looked up at him, trying to convey without words that if he would not harm her, then neither did he have anything to fear from her.
