Idrial watched the sweat emerge on his brow; he then slowly leaned on his knees. He was breathing heavily as he just sat there trying to catch his breath. He was more out of shape than Idrial thought, luckily for him theses lessons would make him a very fit boy by the time she was done with him. The more advanced magick you would have to be very fit to control them for any period of time, the longer you could hold the spell and control it the better; At least in the Veneficus master eyes.
She walked over to him in a confident stride, with a bit of a smile on her face. He was getting up on his feet when she finally got to him and stood beside him. Her hands at her side and then she violently raised her arm and with it followed a large pillar of dirt that emerged from the ground. She did this dozen\'s of times without breaking a single sweat. She made them appear in various places, some higher than others, some wider or more narrow than others and some closer together and some farther together.
She then let her hand fall only to put her hands in front of her, the palms faced her and her finger tips outstretched to the sky. The air started to get cold around them as she was draw on the element of air, a silvery shroud could be seen which represented air; their were ten balls of air some large and small. She then fed fire into the mixture, each flame igniting into the extremely tiny balls of air that hovered above her fingers. Finally she then fed water over top of the air which caused it the water to freeze the air and fire inside the balls.
She then turned her hands so that the palms were no longer facing her, she then flicked her fingers and the fly off her fingers. Each one hitting the earthly pillars and imbedding themselves into the earth. She yelled a word in Latin and the pillars exploded, the fire licked the dirt while the air fueled the fire. After a few seconds the fire had died down and the pillar where nothing but a bunch of ash and dust.
"This little trick you will learn in due time as it is a bit beyond your abilities. I have combined three elements, Water, Air and Fire. The Air is cold but it also fuels the fire, the water is then added in which freezes the two together. Now normally you would use this on anyone that has warm blood so that the ice would melt giving them a nasty surprise causing a painful death. You can use it on objects as well like I did with the pillars for say a distraction. Now here\'s what I\'m going to teach you with earth."
She walked a few feet away from Jaq and placed her hands on the ground; suddenly roots shot up from the ground and bound Jaq quickly and tightly. She then got up form her squatting position and walked over to him. She smiled widely as she spoke and was almost laughing as well.
“You should have seen the look on your face … Oh my word that was priceless. This works for any type of root, from vines to tree roots. Just make sure your somewhat away from the target or you could bind the enemy and yourself together. If your having trouble finding a root just say Anvers Dora then a root will come to your hands until you get the feel for it. Now … Now … You … Try… On Me. ”
Idrial snapped her fingers and the roots released going back into the ground. She was doubled up with laughter and could barely speak the last part of her sentence. After a few moments she wiped the tears form her eyes and regained a straight face though she was still broadly smiling at him.
