"Good question," she said again, pointing at Focraig, not that Naderi knew his name. "I didn't necessarily want to get into it just yet because, hopefully, the students would know not to attempt to say, destroy the fabric of reality." "But," she eyed the man carefully, her eyes drawn to a...

Naderi pointed at Steve. "Good question, uh, you," she said, recognizing the boy's face but not the name. Had she even asked anyone's name? Naderi wagged her finger up and down at them. "Everyone has some degree of each Impulse. That's just the makeup of people. I am capable of showing Daring...

"I see a lot of familiar faces," Naderi said as she scanned the crowd. "I want to start by saying thank you for attending this class. My first lecture was admittedly cut far too short. I was..." she paused, reaching over and grasping her left wrist with her right hand, "shaken. "It was partly...

If the first classroom was far, far too large the first time around, the second was decidedly larger but far more appropriate. Naderi had requested one of the open-air theaters, the ones outside used for a lecture when practical, and plausibly dangerous, elements had to be tested. The open...

Naderi grasped her right arm with her left hand—a nervous trait if there ever was one. "I was... commissioned by the Heads to teach my personal form of magic. And..." she trailed off, turning to the right and noticing Selina off to the side. "I'm a bit concerned that perhaps I might be in over...

Naderi strode through the door, chewing her lower lip and scratching at a hallucinatory itch on her arm. She felt like an idiot. It was a bad idea to teach others lithomancy—Master Thellion had said as much. Lithomancy touched directly on the basis of reality. A simple untrained spell could...

"Good question," said Naderi, raising her finger to point at the boy. "Consider an Impulse to be a... filter of sorts. While the difficulty with most magic is generating and gathering enough energy to cast your spells, lithomancy acts in the opposite. The magic and areas you must place your...

After catching her breath, Naderi walked up and over to Focraig's table and gave the shape a look. "Ahhh. You've tapped into the idea of the craft. It's not exactly what I would expect at this point, no, but I feel you've tapped into the idea of it." Naderi would wag her finger, and nod to...

After calling upon the students' answers, Naderi eventually folded her arms across her chest and nodded. She straightened her glasses as she ran a hand over the desk. "In a manner, you're all correct," she said as she moved back to the board and drew a desk before circling it like the others...

Naderi's eyes flicked over the number of students she said. She had expected pursuant collegiates and, for the most part, that was who she had. That said, there were a few seated that caused her to quirk her eyebrow. Well, it's not like she got to choose her students. "Before I begin," Naderi...

The classroom was far, far too large with far, far too many students. Naderi never understood why the classic lecture halls were stepped as they were, with four rows and two aisles separating the thirty or so students in attendance. While the half-elf knew, logically, that stepped classrooms...
