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 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

At least, she mused, the boy had only thrown up. Moving forward to take care of the mess and begin the process of freeing Meiris from his now-disgusting clothing, she paused as saidar moved in a recognizable fashion, forming a wall that sealed away the odor of bile. She took a moment before speaking to Sappho to deal with the mess, sending it out an open window to the little duck pond below. The fresh breeze did much to deal with the remaining odor, and she led Meiris behind the screen in the corner of her office that concealed a small bathtub. His Soldier's uniform sat upon the stool beside it, it being the one area of the room she was certain Sappho wouldn't enter.
"So," she said, upon returning to the center of the room, where Sappho sat quietly, her eyes wide and troubled, "what should be done with you, child? You managed to channel touching a man, albeit Meiris was never any threat to you. As you can clearly see, he was much more afraid of you than you of him. Did it teach you something? It must have, for you worked around your fear enough to separate yourself from the...noxiousness." Pausing, Zaephra sighed. "The trouble is, did it work enough?"
"I would not feel right about calling another young man into my office today, and so, I wish you to think on what the men here have ever done to you. Would you like to write an essay?" she inquired, one auburn eyebrow up. "Something to frame, perhaps, and hang upon your wall?"
