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

"How strange," Ansalam said, "I've never heard of that before except when someone was blocked. What changed from the last time you tried to seize? I opened the window...but it's closed again. Oh, and Anjolie opened the door: Anjolie, would you close that? And the fire's lit, but you did that yourself. Oh, and Anjolie." He cast a beseeching look at the Accepted, who lifted her eyebrow and drawled, "I've never heard of a boy with trouble channeling with girls in the room! But I've seen the opposite trouble..."
"I'll go stand in the hall," she finished, holding up her arms. Flouncing out, her sunshine-bright hair following her with an indignant flip, she called, "I'm going to go back to class instead, actually."
"Well hell's bells," Ansalam muttered, uncaring that all and sundry could hear his uncouth curse. "If she leaves, how will we get a positive test? I guess I'll just take you back to the main classroom after this: there are always girls in there." Smiling tersely at Rilyn, he shrugged. "Women, can't live with them, or without them. Would you care to try again?"
