"Yes, let us endeavor not to upset your familiar by dawdling." he said, motioning with his hand and activating several protection wards around the room.

"Alright, we'll start first with summoning the water you'll be using." Faelnirv said, murmuring a soft series of glyphs to form a swirling glob of water into one of his palms.

"Remember, you'll feel a slight drop in energy from using glyphs, and as a result you'll become more aware of your thirst."

(The difference between the magic he'd been using before and one with glyphs is that glyph magic is more powerful and more formulaic - you always basically can know what you'll get when you use glyphs. The causal, nonverbal magic he'd used before only really should be used by MASTERS because it's really just using your straight-up magical willpower to manipulate the world around you and therefore can be more unpredictable and really dangerous.)
