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

Firen frowned uncertainly at the Accepted but did her best to relax anyway. She could just see the candle when Sora moved it. "Yes, I can feel it," she replied. Obediently she closed her eyes and pictured a flower again, this time a tulip. She pictured the river it was floating in, and tried hard to imagine she was the flower. Something moist wrapped itself around her, and she gasped in surprise. The Accepted must be doing something with the Power. She felt . . damp. She kept her eyes tightly closed and listened to Sora's patient voice. Imagine the flower opening itself to the sunlight. Firen concentrated but nothing happened. She imagined the petals opening and tried to feel the light warming them. Warming her. She tried to embrace the light, allowing it to flow through her. Minutes passed and Firen was starting to feel frustrated again when something happened. "I can feel something," she told Sora uncertainly. "Something just out of reach." She waited impatiently, forcing herself not reach out for it but to allow the light to come to her. Suddenly she felt something flow into her. It must be saidar! Suddenly she felt joyful, more alive. The candle's warmth increased, and the dampness around her felt as though she were actually wet. She could hear the Accepted's breathing, and smell a hint of soap. She opened her eyes gleefully. "I'm doing it!" Abruptly saidar left her and she groaned in disappointment. Her senses dulled again, making the room seem dismal in comparision. "It was wonderful. I could feel everything! And see more, and hear and .. . it was like waking up and realising I've been half asleep all my life." Firen bounced excitedly in her chair. "Let's do it again." OOC: No problem, don't worry about it. If you are looking for other RPs as well to get the buzz back I am fairly free at the moment, with either of my characters. |
