Adrien lowered his head, deep in thought - he repeatedly bit his lip as he pondered Valerion's words. "I think -- I think I understand", he finally whispered. "How will I get there?".

"Through practice, it will become evident which notions you are most attuned to", Valerion said with a smile. "I will be there to guide you - to help you recognize the way your mind works - but everything should fall into place on its own, in due time".

"Ah -- I see. Thank you", Adrien replied. There was a pause; then he spoke again: "To go back for a moment -- just to make sure -- I don't always have to think about water against fire, right?".

"Correct. You could just as easily counteract the fireball with a gust of wind, for instance - or with a wall of fire. There are many possible answers to each question; most of the work will be in figuring out which answers fit you the best".
