"You call that fat wyrm a dragon!?"
╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ A soft laugh came from R'saava's lips before she answered. "You won't have to lug this around, don't worry. It's like you're training wheels." She ran her fingers over the orb and little traces of light followed her fingertips. "This.. is a very rare lacrima. This crystal does not naturally form on the planet, as you may come to see using your powers. It's called a Mana Star, because they say it comes from fallen stars, and it has it's own magical energy."
She gently rolled the sphere toward Isolde keeping one hand on the top. "Magic flows through some things easier then others. You'll find that heavy metal armor doesn't work well with mages because it dampens the amount of energy able to get in to the body from all around. Same goes with animal skins, unless it's necrotic energy you're using, but we'll talk more about that later." Clearing her throat R'saava looked at the sphere and let out a slow breath as she let her magic trickle into the orb. Slowly the orb looked as if it was shimmering with heat waves, till with a loud whoosh the orb became ablaze, but did not seem to actually be burning anything. "Any lacrima is made from a type of crystal, stone, or plant that lets magic flow freely through it. Some even strengthen it. Right now I am pouring a teensy bit of my magic into it and making a flame. The flame will not burn the orb, or me, because I control it freely." The fire starts to twist up into a little tornado above the orb, and then splitting changes shapes to dancing women made of fire.
R'saava knew that the girl would not be able to fully grasp using such a strange tool right away, but it would help immensely once she learned. It was a tool of control. Conducting magical energy through a proper staff was much easier then using just your hands, or even your mind. Hopefully using this would slowly boost her confidence. "You will start using this to tap into your magic power. It will be like having a control panel. The lacrima will store the energy and you will command it." R'saava let go of the Mana Star and the flame sputtered out in a puff of smoke. The lacrima looked completely undamaged and with a welcoming gesture toward the orb R'saava said, "Why don't you give it a go now? Just place your hand on the orb and try to do something familiar to you, but command your magic through the crystal instead of the empty air."
