"Let me cast four times... perhaps I can hit three out of four..."
Once again he opens his hand inviting the wind to move freely along with him. He points towards yet another grove of trees and releases the furious strength of the wind's movement.

*sunlight begins to creep through the forest as the trees are mutilated and knocked out of harm's way. Kage still noticed many flaws in Shin's maneuvers, but he couldn't help but enjoy the persistence. He was reminded of his younger days training under Zhang, and how he would burn himself out in frustration.*
Enough, Shin. It is innate with one of your kind to exert unnecessary force. You managed to meet your target finally....but you have expelled most of your casting ability. *Kage points to Shin's arms, showing the frail, slow air currents coiled about* Once you've mastered the technique, the winds would flow perpetually. I expect you to train daily on this. ((you've earned 500MXP))

next? you've already hit a plateau. I can't push you further until you can manage to control yourself. Therefore, some meditation is necessary. Come...*Kage rushes aloong a current of wind to the base of a cliff at the edge of the dojo, and leaps to the top effortlessly, awaiting Shin*

Catching a wind current himself he speeds after Kage, following him hot on his heels to the cliff's edge.
"And what do we find here? A beautiful ravine, spaning out into nothingness..."

hahaha...such a novice. A wind mage concerns himself with the unseen. *Kage closes his eyes and opens his arms* do you not feel the wind's song? Atop here, the air bends to its own rhythm. Learn to deny your eyes, and the wind will sing and dance with you...*as Kage speaks, flows of air bend around his body, noticeable by the rustling of debris, dirt, and leaves dancing around him erratically, gradually picking up fierceness*

Pulling a red scarf from the maelstrom, Shin wraps its around his eyes so as to deny them their sense. His chains rustle as the wind's symphonic force becoms audible. The red scarf ripples in the wind dancing to its rythm.
"So this is the hidden secret of meditation."

*Kage opens his eyes, the air around him ceasing* no...this is only the beginning. *Kage whistles and Allen appears, taking the form of a hawk to swoop in for instruction* Allen use copy mode 'X:KN' and help our student here learn the secrets fo meditation...
*Allen bows and surrounds himself in light, emerging as a mirror image of Kage himself. He steps back several paces and summons a current of wind, entering a battle stance*
Alright, Shin. You must rely on your meditation. Preserve your energy and defend yourself. The key is to focus on nothing but what's important...
Magic attack *Allen, in the form of Kage, makes a hard stomp forward with his left leg, sending a piercing gust of wind towards Shin*

Shin focuses on clearing his mind and being moved by the wind itself, trusting it to deflect or move him out of harm's way. **Shield**

Allen:5MP+17=22
*Shin is overpowered by a strong force of wind and knocked to the ground. He is forced to stand back up and reattempt meditation*
magic attack *Allen retracts his left hand, letting air currents gather and expand. He then releases a spiral vaccum of air from his palm and aims it at Shin like a beam.*
Shin:24

Intent to rule the wild flow of uncontrolable energy, Shin attempts the shield once again, hoping to bond with the air around him.

Shin vs Allen round 2
Shin: 2MP+1L+5=8
Allen:5MP+12=17
*The concentrated energy blast manages to pierce Shin's shield and hit him in the stomach like a hard sucker punch.*
magic attack: *Allen switches to more of a boxing stance, with the ever present air flowing over his knuckles. He swings his right arm in an uppercut fashion, causing a small tornado to appear and travel along the ground slowly towards Shin*
Shin:18

Remember, Shin...you hear and know nothing but the air around you. Trust the mystic instincts your power can give you...

Shin vs Allen round 3
Shin:2MP+1L+8=11
Allen:5MP+4=9
*The tornado collides with Shin's shield and stubbornly battles it for a while. The shield of air holds through however, and the tornado is dispersed into harmless air. Kage motions for Allen to stop*
That's better...a lot better. (500XP, 3MSP)
You are getting the idea. I expect you to meditate often as well. It will help you overcome your learning barriers here.
