With the Mage REALLY tired, because of all of the mana she spent with her magick, she could not construct a bridge or anything. She was reading a book she secretly took from the castle.
Inside, it said, "...the origins of magick came from a monk...,"
oh gOd (xD God
)
this is boring
"...the use of magick is tied in with uniting with the element you seek to master. The dangers of trying this is great. Most magicians have one element that they naturally start off with. Rarely are those who know all four, fire, water, ground, and air; and some combinations in between...If you use too much magick, you have a chance of tapping into your life force, converting your life into your magick. This is especially bad if you use a fire based attack since you will be constantly feeding energy in to the heat...Water is easy to master for the quick, agile mages. They have the natural fluidity that helps them coexist with the element. Fire is for the hot tempered, easy to provoked. They have the potential anger inside to feed the flames. Earth is mostly for the lazy mage who is similar to a sloth. Air is one of the hardest to master, since there are so many distractions nearby that can pull you in and misdirect your magick and concentration...Only true mages can master all four elements and everything in between..."
DANG! i have a lot of reading to do.
