Elemental Magic 101 (sign up)

[Dark Hooves]

Calm your mind, that will help not use excess mana.

[Peace Keeper]

Yea. That's easy to say.

He drops the rocks and breathes a bit. He then screams a bit throws his hoof on the ground in rage to release his frustration. He sits down and closes his eyes.

[Dark Hooves]

Looks like we found what is keeping you from mastering controlling your mana. You need to let go of the pent up rage you have.

[Roots]

Roots turns around and makes his way back over to Dark Hooves and Peacemaker. He sees Peacemaker on the ground and decides to leave him be ever since he heard him yell.

"Mr. Dark Hooves, I wish to become stronger, no, I NEED to become stronger. Strong enough so I can... I can..." Roots' trails off and he quickly looks away before suddenly looking back at Dark Hooves again. "Is there... is there a way?"

[Dark Hooves]

Yes there is, training is required to build your magic power.

[Roots]

"Training sounds fine with me. I do well enough back at the academy, so I'm ready to make some extra progress. They won't mind me being gone for a few days. I've shown you what I'm currently capable of, so what's next? I wish to learn your ways, Mr. Dark Hooves."

[Dark Hooves]

Waiting to see where the others are at with their magic and mana control.

[Roots]

"Of course. Like you said we have all the time in the world." A grin comes across Roots' face before he lies down on the grass. He closes his eyes and enters a deep meditative state, letting his magic flow lazily around him.

[Aeterna Sol]

"Well I would've shown you already if you weren't ignoring me." Blazing Sun pointed out, somewhat angry that Dark Hooves has been ignoring her almost the entire time she's been here.

[Dark Hooves]

I haven't ignored you, I saw what you did. You have full control of your mana, so you'll start with the basics of changing your mana's nature.

[Aeterna Sol]

"Well okay then, sorry... But what exactly do you mean by that?" She wondered.

[Dark Hooves]

I mean changing it to make it elemental magic.

[Peace Keeper]

Peacemaker was oblivious to what Dark Hooves told him and everything else around him since he was angry being unable to sense magic. He opens his eyes and seems calm now. He gets up and leans to the tree. Closing his eyes, he focuses his magic and wraps his aura around the tree, trying to sense whatever bit of sensastion of mana.

[Dark Hooves]

Let go of your anger, that is preventing you from sensing mana.

[Peace Keeper]

*grunts* I'm concentrating.
He stops concentrating on the tree with no luck.
Gosh I hate when ponies tell me that. Just leave me alone. I was already calm and you had to bring that up. *starts walking away to another tree*

[Dark Hooves]

Ok. He leaves Peacemaker to find perfect balance.

[Peace Keeper]

He sits in another tree away from everyone else. He stares at the rock near him like if it's waiting to move. He breathes a bit before making his hoof glow. In another short scream, he slams the hoof on the rock, shattering it. However, he hurt his hoof a bit by the small twitching it makes, but was more satisfied of breaking the rock. He then lays his back on the tree, calming down again and looking at a lone cloud in the sky.

[Aeterna Sol]

After Blazing Sun thought for a while (Which is until now), she woke up... In a way, at least. "Oh, sorry, I was stuck thinking about what you said." Then, she felt a vibration in the ground, and looked in the direction that it came from. It was Peacemaker, shattering a rock. "Well, most of us don't punch rocks nowadays, but for me, it's just simple strength and pain resistance training. Shall I demonstrate?" She asked Dark Hooves. "Don't worry about getting hit, I'll be facing a direction away from all of you."

[Dark Hooves]

He throws a pebble at Blazing Sun.

[Aeterna Sol]

She then pretty much teleports her hoof straight into the pebble. Although, it was really just high-speed movements she learned and used over the course of her 7.5 year training. "Boom."
