Val stood up. "I see", he said. "If you'd like, we can start".

"Let's", Adrien said. He readied the staff. "What should I draw?".

"A Fire symbol within a circle. As you draw it, visualize and try to channel something that is related to this element - for now, I recommend starting with a fireball".

"So, just like defense magic?".

"Yes", Val replied. "However, do keep in mind that this might be harder than your previous exercises. Defense magic is easier for a beginner because it relies on mirroring energy that is already in flow; in the case of elemental magic, all the energy that fuels it will need to come from within you. To do so, you should try to focus on something that makes you feel all those things that you described Fire as".

Adrien nodded. "Alright. I'll need a moment to think, though".

"Of course. Take your time".
