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 eyed the Aes Sedai doubtfully but closed her eyes and tried to embrace the Source. Surprisingly it came easily this time, as though it had been waiting for her. She concentrated on holding it for a moment before she opened her eyes. The Aes Sedai wove a thread of . . . something. At first Firen couldn't even begin to describe it, but then she noticed something. It wasn't a colour, or a flavour, just a - sense. "Water," Firen hazarded. "I don't really know why, it just feels like it." The Brown wove another flow and Firen smiled. "Fire," she said promptly. It had a comfortable, familiar feel. The other elements were more difficult, she had never seen Earth or Spirit before. Once she had named them all Firen attempted to extract a thread of Spirit. The flow appeared briefly before she lost her grasp on it. So it was with the other flows, only Fire produced a steady thin flow that Firen felt she could manipulate. Earth barely formed at all, she suspected she was fairly weak in that element. Firen allowed it to dissipate and released saidar, feeling the shock of losing her heightened awareness all over again. In it's place was exhaustion and the beginnings of a headache. Her thoughts came back to what the Aes Sedai had said when she walked in. "You said if I get cut off from saidar I'll die. Why? Do I have to channel every day to make sure I don't? Like eating?" Firen looked anxiously at the Brown. She still couldn't embrace saidar every time she wanted to, how long did she have if saidar became elusive? No one had said she would die! OOC: Sounds good to me, feel free to wrap it up. |
