Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yawgmoth laughed "Oh hell no." Yawgmoth stood up when she said she wished to learn. "We aren't taking on any students and there is no way you could learn anything that we can do without our help. And even if you could, would you want to? Would you dare to take on the dark power and try to stop it from infecting you? While we do not doubt your adeptness in all things concerning mana, we doubt your ability to withstand the constant onslaught the darkness will place upon your mind as you try to learn its ways." Yawgmoth said crossing his arms over his chest.

Her shadow was still her shadow and crossed its arms when Ziven did. Imitating her movements. When she reached for it it too reached but with the opposite hand as it was a mirror imagine so to speak. As Ziven poked the shadow, the shadow poked her back. The energies of darkness would shoot through her body in one quick burst. The darkness contained within a shadow was not so vile it would corrupt or infect her as Yawgmoth had stated but the jolt was sure to give her some invigoration. Something equating to an adrenaline rush.

"It is because a shadow does not contain that much darkness. It is still a reflection of its owner. If we animated our shadow and you touched it, the intensity would be much different. Get the idea?" Yawgmoth said snapping his right index and thumb fingers together. Her shadow flopped back on the floor and was no longer 'animated' by his magic. "Would you really want to learn from us? Knowing what we used that magic for. You saw what we have done last night. We know those images disturb your slumber. And yet you cannot help but be curious about our dark magics. You are still as interesting a creature as ever pet." Yawgmoth commented.

"There is probably nothing you know that is impressive enough to warrant our attention to it pet. We only seek the most powerful dark magic. And we have scoured the universe a great deal to find the most powerful. Show us what you've got though, maybe you've got something of interest" Yawgmoth shrugged seating himself on barstool. Couldn't hurt to see what the little girl possessed right?

"Not bad.." Yawgmoth said his eyebrows quirked in a curious fashion as he watched the spider. He had a slightly similar ability, though his worked directly with the mind of his victim. Causing them to fall into an illusion of being mutilated. The pain their brain made them feel was very real, the actual mutilation was far from tangible. Could her technique be similar? "Unable to break free of huh...we doubt that. There is a flaw in all spells no matter who crafted them. It is in finding the flaw that the problem lies. We do suppose if no one has been able to break free of this spell, the flaws are very minimal. But do trust us, they do exist within the mana workings somewhere. Though, we do not wish to experience this curse to attempt to find the flaws ourselves. We are certain if life depended on it, we could do so."

Yawgmoth blinked a bit "What the hell was that supposed to be?" He said crossing his arms unimpressed watching Ziven for a moment waiting for her to explain just what she had done. He guessed some sort of brain control or something. Not as impressive as the first one.

"Little girl we highly doubt your mind control would work on us as you have already stated. Mind control is a basic technique to us, we are not interested. Your first 'curse' was more entertaining. Please tell us you have more of that nature and less of the typical spells that we know" He said grumpily. He was not going to let her even attempt to cast that spell on him. While Yawgmoth was arrogantly sure his overly complex brain layout would resist such a controlling mechanism he was not willing to test the spell without proper research. The scientist in him said no. The risks were too great and they trumped his arrogance for the time. "So is that all? Or are we waiting for another one?"

"Now that, is impressive. Do you know the dynamics of the spell? How does it kill them? Or are you unaware, and just know that it 'does' " Yawgmoth questioned. The ability to kill on a whim was indeed a strong one. Yawgmoth's brain was already conjuring ways to find flaws in this spell so that if she ever decided to retaliate against him he would be ready for it.

Yawgmoth chuckled. "Well then we already are aware of how to stop it. We think anyway. It will require a test. We will ask you to cast this spell upon us free of punishment or retribution when we have perfected our counter measure to it." He said arrogantly thinking, if it devoured souls Yawgmoth could simply..'not have one'. After all, he was timeless. Perhaps that was already a counter measure in and of itself. He would have to find out. "Now we rewind to the point of this whole display. You are trying to peak our interest in one of those spells, and perhaps we would exchange something with you yes? One of our spells perhaps? One of our tricks."
