Storms of Change(Porne)

"I imagine so hatchling. Being trapped in your shell until now, especially when your material was a local, would leave you quite confused," He huffs, before leaning down, laying out his wing in front of you like a massive carpeted path up to his back, "Explanations can happen while we travel."

You can trade the monster cores for some money at the city. How much keeping track of money do you want to deal with? Also, dragons in this world aren't naturally gendered as they form from magic, being more akin to elementals. So while they can transform themselves either to have sexual organ or into races that do, they don't naturally have the desire for sex. As such you will have to convince them to try out the weird thing that the lesser races like doing.

Nothing against you if you like it, but I'm not wild about 'suck off the guard to get into the city' scenes. Okay, was curious about that. Didn't know if he'd sniff something out on her since she's probably covered in the scent of her own spooge, even if she's washed it off.

I quickly run up the path, hoping I can find something to cling to. I try to organize my thoughts both on what questions I have, and what questions answered would do the most good. Maybe he'll be able to figure out a good idea of what to tell me?

[Sallin_Kari]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Uh... that's not what I was implying at all. Was more asking if you wanted to me to keep detailed accounts of how much money you got.

Luckily there are plenty of spines and even a line of fur down the back that makes for a good place to hang on to. As you try to figure out what to say, he takes off, the inertia pinning you to him until he is very much in the air, and cruising fast. You do notice however that despite moving fast the wind isn't blasting you in the face and deafening every noise. "I imagine a hatchling like you doesn't understand how to use its magic," He begins the conversation, "Or even activated your senses yet. I'll show you how it feels." Suddenly you feel something flowing through, like blood pumping through your veins, and it feels like you just seen color for the first time. A bubble encompasses you and the dragon's head, and glowing lines extend from the core of the dragon out through you and into the trailing lightning clouds surrounding him. This... is magic? The feeling fades but you can still feeling tingling aftershocks. Concentrating on them, you feel it flow once more, though far less powerful. This must be what Pixie was trying to get you to do.

Nah, don't worry too much, unless you want to get into a choosy min/max situation. I'm thinking that if you limit me to a few overall selections of spells or whatever, it should be fine. I'm expecting this to be a magic heavy 'build', so assuming spells are too pricey to buy more than one or two at a time, that makes sense to me.

I gape in wonder as I get my first view of magic, verbally stumbling as my shock paralyzes me. Looking around, I'm struck by the wonder of it all, but focus on being able to duplicate the feeling myself, even if I'm not as good at it yet.

[Sallin_Kari]

Well magic isn't going to something immediate.

"It looks like you, hatchling, have awoken your sense," He nods.

[porne]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Any clues as to the types of magic available for purchase or learning? Also, going for a bit of childish glee at getting to be an adventurer/mage, I think that's going to be her primary motivation besides the intense desire to not be murdered.

"This is incredible!" I shout out, looking around at everything, taking it in as the dragon flies around, but trying to keep enough attention on him that I can listen in if he starts talking. I also make sure to get a good look at my pixie companion.

[Sallin_Kari]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Haven't decided on the precise stuff, but probably lots of chemical/energy manipulation. And that makes sense.

Your companion has tucked herself in your clothes, seeming to not want to be noticed right now, but you manage to get a good look at her anyways... she's... odd. If your dragon friend's magic was like massive roots spreading out all around him, your pixie friend is... like a broken pile of glass. There is clearly large chunks of powerful magic, but they are irregular and don't fit together, barely holding herself into a cohesive whole. Seemingly oblivious to your discovery, the dragon continues, "You should be able to start learning magic now, and begin your collection of interesting items, now that you can see. Perhaps in time you'll even grow out of being a fledgling as well as a hatchling!" There seems to be some mirth in his tone at the end.

While I might like the same 'origin build' for a lot of my characters, I find I like giving them all distinct personalities and different build goals. Most of them start as tanky mages, but Roberta is going to advance toward a rogue/mage route, but Laura would go full tank with reluctant mage abilities. Also, I did have her with a shitload of shadow abilities if I recall, assuming you want the more wuxia/crucible style spells.

I look at the my seemingly damaged companion, wondering if I could maybe put her back together a bit? Something to look into later as I hear the dragon begin to talk once more. Paying attention, I'm delighted to find that I could begin learning real magic now.

"Maybe I will! Who knows what the future may hold? To ADVENTURE!" I shout for joy.

[Sallin_Kari]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Fair enough.

You can't really do anything for the pixie. She is like a jigsaw puzzle with most of pieces missing.

The dragon on the other hand is amused by your excitement before explaining further, "You should find out what your element is. It will make your journey of learning magic much easier."

[porne]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

IIRC, per the original CS, while she has a bunch of shadow magic abilities (she's going to be a sneaky stabby bitch), her human quarter allows her to harvest mana from anything.

"Elements? Could you explain a bit more? I think I've got a bit of dark elf blood in this form though, if that helps?"

[Sallin_Kari]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

I don't remember humans having that ability at all? Did you tell me about this or was it your own head cannon?

"No, elves, while liking to think they are masters of magic, lack any inherent connection to it, and must learn to manipulate it through scripts or through adding the ability by transforming themselves with those gems you found. Us dragons, on the other hand, have inherent connection to elements, which we can manipulate as easily as other creatures breath," He explains before exhaling sharply, causing multiple arcs of lightning to cut through the murky clouds surrounding you, "Mine is obviously 'storm.' Once you discover your element you have insight in how magic operates making it far easier to create scripts to manipulate other elements."

[porne]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Yeah, it's on the CS under 'Human Adaptability' on the first post, which mentions she can harvest mana from anything (although, there's no reason you can't restrict her output nature). That and her fertility is likely all she's got of her human heritage. Most of her physical body arrangement comes from her elven and draconic blood.

"So, you're the Storm Dragon?" I ask, hoping he hears the capitals and appreciates flattery. I feel around inside of me, looking for any kind of magical flavor, but I also glance at my companion, wondering if she's got any advice. I know I still have a bit of what's left of the bug monsters cores left in my body. I also work to recall the feelings from when I embraced my magic fully and slaughtered the various bugs, seeing if there might have been an element associated with that.

[Sallin_Kari]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Hmm... I haven't really taken that in account of the world building, so not sure what to do with that, beyond giving Roberta a passive recharge ability.

"The Storm Dragon makes it sound like we are some sort of spirit created by the world. As far as I am aware, I am the only storm dragon to currently exist, but there has been others and there is nothing preventing one from existing somewhere else," He explains, apparently completely unfazed by your attempt at flattery.
Roll 5
Unfortunately your attempt to discern your ability just by feel is dramatically complicated by the fact that you don't know what anything magical 'feels' like except lightning magic on account of your friend here. Your companion is still very content to be still at the moment, and if the bugs have an elemental component to them, you don't know what it is so can't really use that to judge anything.

[porne]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

That's fair. Or maybe she can learn anything easier? Again, I'll let you do what you think is necessary if you've got the plan.

"Hmph, well, you never know. I can't seem to detect what I'm supposed to. I don't suppose you know any dark or shadow magic? This body is heavily dark elf influenced after all." I ask him, puffing out my cheeks in a mild annoyance.

[Sallin_Kari]

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Getting some ideas. I don't think that absorbing magic is going to really help you learn magic, though.

He huffs, "I understand your confusion fledgling, but dark elf's preference for such magics is entirely cultural, rather then inherent. If you have affinity with such elements, it is entirely separate from your dark elf blood. Honestly, you should have some natural abilities from your transmutation into that form. You could leverage that. It's hardly something comparable to your element, as it isn't versatile in how it can be implemented, but it should at least give you an idea of how you can script magic."

[porne]

"I did... something on instinct earlier, but I'm not able to pull out what element it was. Still, it is very kind of you to offer help, I'm doing what I can to poke around internally." I offer, before returning my attention to do exactly that.

[Sallin_Kari]

He bellows a laugh, shaking you, before announcing, "Yes well, as I said before, it is the older generations duty to look after the hatchlings. Besides, if we don't take you under our wing, then we can hardly complain when you grow up to be little shits that don't respect us." He laughs again, "We've had enough adolescent dragons and fledglings who think they're unstoppable and start razing cities. And let me tell you, it take centuries before the humans stop trying annoying you with their 'extermination teams' even though you weren't involved. But can you really blame them? ... Both the humans and the adolescents. Those adolescents never had anyone to tell them the ways the world works, and the humans would be fools to just sit down and hope more of their cities don't get burnt to the ground... I just with their pro-activity was more useful and less bothering me."

You focus on trying to recreate it. With your new found senses you manage to find... lines etched in your body. Channeling your magic through them, you feel your muscles strengthen.

[porne]

Feeling the newfound strengthen, I pause as I continue to pump mana into them. "Well, I think I found something? There's lines etched into me that are improving my strength." I hold up a hand, feeling the strange increase in muscle power, before I turn my attention back to the dragon giving me a ride. My attention also wanders internally, looking for more possible lines that might indicate additional magics.

[Sallin_Kari]

"Yes, that should be a result of the transmutation you received from that orb I was looking for. If you can decipher that script you will have an edge in developing your own scripts," He explains. Your exploration does reveal... something. It's not any where near as ordered but you have... 'scales' in your skin that you can run magic through, but it's structured more like blood vessels rather than a pathway.

[porne]

Hm, interesting. I lose myself in exploring the various quirks inside of my own body, occasionally mumbling out loud as I inject or pass mana through the various patterns I find. Recalling the various blades and other stuff I instinctively constructed with mana, I make sure my hands are away from my current benefactor. Pumping mana through them, injecting in a big burst, pulling it in from outside, I try a little bit of everything unless I hit resistance or pain.
