Who: You! Me! Everybody!
Broadcast: idk but we've sure got a pretty broad cast of folks eh, eh
Action: HECK YEAH PLANET MINGLE
When: 10/7 until plot update or recaptcha

It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

Maybe. I've only met a couple people from there and neither had very nice things to say, honestly.

[He shrugs, then watches the birds fly from her wand.]

Alright, that one I don't know.

[He lifts his staff and attempts to hold it out the way she pointed her wand, albeit two handed.]

Avis!

[...And nothing happens.]

Maybe one day I'll get to meet some people from Tevinter. Who knows who'll end up showing up here, after all?

[ She grins, though, watching the birds fly around before she turns her head back to look at Hawke. ]

... Hm. That's odd - you're definitely saying it right.
wolfehawke: (Pouty)

Hmm.

[He rubs his beard a moment then pulls up his staff again.]

What do you feel when you cast that spell? Maybe I'm not in the right mindset. I've only ever conjured ice, nothing alive. Or are you summoning? Did those birds actually get transported from somewhere?
brainiest: (when you're part of a team)

[personal profile] brainiest 2016-10-31 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I just sort of... Focus.

[ She frowns, tilting her head as she considers how to explain it. ]

It's a charm - they sort of summon them? Or creates them, I suppose... Maybe we ought to try something else.
wolfehawke: (boohoo)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-10-31 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no, I want to try this one, I just need to know if I'm trying to sort of... transport birds, or make fake birds. Are they illusionary?

[Don't give up on him Hermione, it's his first try at prestidigitation-type stuff. His magic is usually so much more physical.]
brainiest: (fight me)

[personal profile] brainiest 2016-10-31 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they're very real until they go away. It's almost like I create them out of thin air - it's not quite transfiguration, but it's a realistic illusion.
wolfehawke: (half smile)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2016-10-31 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok, so conjured then, not summoned.

[That helps. It's actually a lot easier for him considering the only ones in Thedas he's aware of that can move objects or themselves from one place to another in the wink of an eye are blood mages who've learned it from demons. It's not a common skill.

He lifts his staff and breathes out, imagining the birds coming from the crystal in the dragon's mouth. A flock of small corvids, maybe. Smaller than the ones that shed Anders' feathers, but still black and slightly iridescent...]


Avis!

[He moves the staff how Hermione moved her wand initially, his muscles clenching as he completes the movement. For a moment a few wisps of light exude from the crystal, vaguely avian in form, but really looking more like oddly translucent mockeries than actual birds. They glide for about a foot and then vanish without a sound.]

Closer, I guess.

[He chews the inside of his lip, not sure what exactly it is that he's doing wrong. He's never used his magic like this before.]
