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

Sappho shifted uncomfortably. So she had channelled at last. She hadn't even known she'd been doing it, but she had done... something... which had felt deeply satisfying. It felt natural, appropriate, no more evil than using her hands or her eyes. Beyond that, there had been a feeling of completeness, which must have been while she held the Source. And this was channelling, was it? Sappho compared her experience with the idea of channelling as a gift from the Creator, and the idea of it being the Dark One's work, and was forced to conclude that it hardly seemed possible that it might be evil.

With a start, her attention returned to Zaephra Sedai. Something to hang up on her wall? Something put where someone - anyone - might see it? Light, Thoia might see it! That would be hideously embarrassing.

"I believe it would do me good to reflect on the behaviour of the men here at the Tower, Zaephra Sedai," she said cautiously. "I don't believe an essay will be necessary."
