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 smiled at the Accepted, delighted to have succeeded at last. She closed her eyes and listened to Sora's words. The image formed in her mind and she tried to relax. She felt the same sensation, something just out of reach that she desperately wanted to grab hold of. But whenever she tried it slipped away, and she had to start the whole frustrating process again. Eventually she managed to hold saidar, just hold it without it disappearing, and then she did get a sense of . . . differences. It wasn't colours, or smell or even flavours, it was just - different. She could pull a thread of saidar from the Source and she just knew that it was Air, or Fire, or Earth, though that last was a feeble thing. Firen handled the flow of Fire carefully, concentrating on the wick of the candle. A flame appeared and the novice beamed in delight. "I did it! And I know how I did it, this time." Firen released the Source with a smile, and felt a sense of loss as her senses returned to normal. Everything was just so much brighter, somehow, when she was holding saidar. With the loss came the exhaustion of channeling, or at least attempting to. Firen felt as though she had been wrung through a mangle, but it was worth it. |
