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. 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.
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.
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

His eyes widened in fear: inside the mittens, his fingers curled into his palms, nails marking the skin with brutal half-moons. The Master of Soldiers had sent him to the Mistress of Novices for weeks now, and he had grown slowly used to being in her office. Women came in, women came out: most paid him no mind, which was much the same as it had been in Far Madding on good days. Then Zaephra had begun to send him on small errands: he fetched her lunch, and sometimes her dinner. She never touched him. He had come to depend on that: she thanked him and then let him deal with the endless parade of women as he had to. Sometimes she muttered things in his direction, but her hands stayed at her side and she wouldn't let him stay in her office when the new Novices came. But this girl was touching him. He squirmed away, pulling his legs up under the skirt, crossing them to guard himself from unwanted contact. She still had his hands. Panting, he stared wide-eyed at his captor, but she was staring right back. A thick, queasy nausea began in the pit of his stomach as the Mistress of Novices began to murmur under her breath. A moment later, and the auburn-haired woman's voice increased in volume. "The water has risen, it courses toward the edge. Feel it around you: you are the water. Race toward the edge, and throw yourself into the sunshine. Fall to the ground: you are the water. It will not hurt. It is glorious. Feel the sunshine through you, feel the air rushing around you. Close your eyes," she said. "Feel the water," she said, starting again. The horrible stinging prickle began in his raw and bleeding clawmarks. He could not control his stomach. As politely as possible, he leaned over his seized arms and threw up on the threadbare rug. |
