Like Father Like Son

Who: Leo and Forrest
When: Assorted days during November
Where: Leo's temple, mostly
What: Leo is teaching Forrest dark magic!

[When Forrest told him that a tome and a Heart Seal had shown up in his closet, Leo told him to come by once he'd used the Seal for lessons. In the meantime, Leo cleared out one of the rooms and prepared space in the gardens for Forrest's lessons.

He's never actually taught anyone dark magic like this before, so he's a bit nervous. He knows he can do it, it's just a matter of never having done it.]

[Leo gestures to the salt and the basin of water he set out]

Wet your hands and then coat them with the salt. Once you get better at it, you won't need all these components but for now you do.

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's fine. I prefer to take this slowly.

[And he trusts Leo, even with as nervous as he is, so he does as he's told.]

[brynwieldr]

Good. Now, some people think they need to chant or something to make it work but I've never had to so maybe you won't either--and if you do it won't be for long. Focus on that red flower there and make it wither.

[clothes_make_the_man]

All right... here I go.

[Forrest nods, closing his eyes and holding his hand out toward the flower.]

...Is it working?

[brynwieldr]

[It is not.]

Not quite. Find that part of you that you pull your healing magic from and try to focus that on the flower.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Okay... let me try again.

[Forrest takes a short breath, refocusing and giving it another try.]
