Don't worry I'm fine. Will be back tomorrow. -Alex
In fine print
I better get my blade back. -Ara
"Stop the truck."
Tanya obeyed to Ara's command. Ara got out, scribbled something on a piece of paper, stuck it to a knife, and stuck the knife into the ground. Hopping back on, they pulled away and continued. Waylon continued to read his Fire Magic book, learning more and more. Before he'd met this group, he'd had no interest in expanding his ability, considering it a waste of time when everyone around him had tech and cool weapons and whatnot. Now, however, he was learning that controlling fire meant so much more than just controlling fire. He had no idea there were different types with different properties that had different effects. It turns out only red fire burned. The other kinds had different effects to the body. Holy Fire, which he sub-bound himself with yesterday, healed. Electric Fire, which was a neon blue that glowed the brightest of all of them, had the same effect as electricity did when it touched a person. He wondered if Tanya knew that. Currently, he was reading up on Demon Fire, a blazing purple flame that held mind control over anyone who touched it. And still, there were so many more he could sub-bind himself with, some much easier to do than Holy Fire, some much harder.
He examined his fingers, thinking about what he was truly capable of. Exactly twenty-four hours ago, he could barely launch embers at foes. Now, he could make a full-fledged flame and then some. He could even ignite his sword. He snapped his fingers, watching red flame spark up into the sky. He thought about healing and snapped his fingers again. White flames shot up. The book had taught him cognitive thought of behavior/mood associated with the flame would cause that specific flame to ignite. For instance, if he wanted to heal someone, he only had to think about healing or the feeling of relief from pain while conjuring fire to conjure Holy Fire. Of course, certain fires would be harder to conjure based on his own way of thinking. If he never thought like an evil mastermind, he'd have a hard time conjuring Demon Fire.
Realizing that he just appeared to be snapping his fingers like a lunatic, he stopped, turned back to his book, reading the rest of the trip.
