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

She looked up as the door bounced in its frame, and her Novice attendant scrambled to open the door. The fact that neither of them had felt another female channeler meant that it was most likely to be a man: indeed, as Nerana opened the door, curtsying to the Dedicated outside, Zaephra was able to put a name to his familiar face. Ansalam Dietrich was a Shienaran lad, although he lacked the burly, rangy build of a Borderlander warrior. Indeed, his father had been an innkeeper, and his mother a serving maid. He fit his humble roots well, though, and he had not forgotten himself so far as not to give her a deep bow as she stood. "Ansalam. Soldier." she greeted, as the men rose from their formal bows. "To what do I owe this visit?" Ansalam cleared his throat as he shifted his weight. "Soldier Rilyn was doing very well in One Power Basics, and then we had a visit from Anjolie, who thought I was studying alone, and suddenly, Rilyn is unable to grasp the Power. We did a bit more testing - well, the first time, he managed but he said he got much less, and it was much harder - but right, then we tried again, and he could not grasp the Power at all. I believe he has a block." "I interviewed him as our form says to, and he says the only things he knows about women are that his mother left when he was very young and his father raised him to be strictly chivalrous. I don't know how to help him, Aes Sedai, but as you're an Indigo sister," He flushed, clearing his throat. "I knew you would, Aes Sedai." "I can certainly try," Zaephra said, keeping her amusement off her face. "Let us begin tomorrow, in the Channeling Yards. Soldier Rilyn, you shall need to bring nothing save yourself: I shall have an Indigo brother meet you at the gate. Do not go in without an escort: it can be lethal to wander in there unguided." "Take the boy to his morning chores, please, Ansalam, and...Rilyn...it was a pleasure to meet you. May it always be so." She inclined her head in dismissal, and crossed to her windows, where she scowled into the glass. |
