Wanda says 'Hello Accepteds, no worries'

Maddy says 'We wanted to check on your progress and see if you need any help with anything'

Wanda nods in agreement.

Maddy says 'Is it easy for you to embrace saidar now?'

Wanda says 'It is Accepted, would you like a demonstration?'

Wanda can feel the flows of saidar coursing through her body.

Wanda seems very comfortable.

Wanda says 'I have no problem embracing however I still struggle channeling'

Maddy says 'Oh hmm'

Vala says 'How is your control of the One Power? You mentioned wanting to work on that.'

Wanda nods in agreement.

Maddy says 'so you can embrace but then you struggle'

Wanda says 'I recently tried to heal somebody but instead caused harm'

Maddy says 'Shall we go somewhere lest public'

Wanda nods in agreement.

In the Well
This open-roofed building used to house the initiates of the Tower consists of nine levels, but only three of them are currently in use. A number of small, windowless rooms open up to a gallery which surrounds a courtyard, there is ample fresh air. A fountain with a small garden sits at the bottom of this well, the sound of falling waters echoing among the towering walls.

Kennira, Caretaker of Novices tends to the boarding of her young charges.

Wanda looks between Maddy and Vala.

Vala says 'So it's not losing control of saidar in general, but forming the correct weaves is that right?'

Maddy moves to the bench near the fountain sitting gracefully then smoothing her skirts.

Wanda throws herself on the bed.

Maddy says 'This is a good spot the sound of the fountain is calming'.

Wanda says 'Yes Vala, I struggle terribly. I cannot be trusted to do anything. I Ice Spiked a man in need of healing, an important man!'

Wanda cries inconsolably.

Vala comforts Wanda.

Wanda says 'He could have died!'

Wanda says 'It’s not the first time I have hurt someone unintentionally'

Maddy says 'I think you just need to practice and memorize the weaves'

Wanda says 'and also, I stepped on a frog near the well, poor thing squished like *SQUISH*'

Wanda says 'I’m a danger'

Vala says 'I have a suggestion, and it might help especially when things are chaotic and many people need different weaves.'

Wanda looks longingly to Vala for answers.

Vala says 'Putting a little more intentional thought behind what you're weaving will help avoid this error in the future.'

Wanda says 'what about the poor frog?'

Maddy walks over to sit beside Wanda on the bed and pats her hand saying,' You just need to learn one at a time I think,'

Vala says 'I'm afraid you'll just have to watch your step. The frogs will probably try to avoid you as well.'

Wanda strokes her chin thoughtfully.

Wanda says 'Avoid me? Have they heard I am a nightmare?'

Wanda looks around frantically for scared frogs.

Vala says 'They wouldn't know the difference but they usually jump away from people.'

Wanda bursts into tears.

Maddy says 'If I were you, I would wake up each day and do one weave all day, like perhaps armor yourself and everyone who allows you to. Then
two spirit for Armor will be etched in your brain.'

Wanda looks up.

Wanda says 'that’s all?'

Maddy rubs Wanda's back gently.

Wanda says 'I have begun trying to focus my weaves, understanding the flows Accepted Vala, time and practice is all?'

Wanda says 'baby steps?'

Wanda says 'does the Tower not demand more?'

Maddy says 'Wanda can you tell me the weaves required for the healing you did on the man?’

Wanda says 'to answer Accepted Maddy's question'

Wanda says ‘one flow of earth, one flow of water and two flows of spirit’

Maddy says 'excellent.'

Maddy says 'So my suggestion is to cement one weave in your head at a time'

Wanda nods at Maddy.

Maddy grins at Wanda wickedly and says, ' I will even do your dishes and you can refresh me when you are practicing that weave.'

Wanda says 'maybe if I only channel supportive weaves I can avoid hurting people?'

Maddy says 'You will need to learn the others eventually'

Wanda says 'really drill down on my learnings?'

Wanda strokes her chin thoughtfully.

Wanda says 'I think I can focus on that'

Maddy says 'As you progress you will also need to teach them to the new girls'

Wanda nods in agreement.

Wanda says 'Do either of you require healing?'

Wanda shivers as the room begins to become colder.

Maddy says 'Yes, I have a bit of a headache, please weave me.'

Vala says 'I'm fine, but you may practice if you like.'

Wanda nods in agreement.

Wanda can feel the flows of saidar coursing through her body.

Wanda focuses as the temperature continues to drop.

Maddy closes her eyes and rubs her temples waiting for the healing to commence.

Wanda begins to weave flows of air and water.

Wanda concentrates but stops before she releases the incorrect weave.

Maddy opens her eyes and looks at Wanda with encouragement.

Wanda forms weaves of earth and water.

Vala watches intently as Wanda continues.

Wanda weaves earth and water which begin to work their way towards Maddy's temples.

Maddy begins to feel the warmth as the weaves touch her.

Wanda weaves in flows of spirit which reinforce the earth and water.

Wanda lightly brushes Maddy's temples with the weave in hopes she has done no harm.

Vala peers closely at Maddy, trying to figure her out.

Maddy slumps on the bed, suddenly tired, saying' That worked well done, Wanda.'

Wanda beams with a smile that melts hearts.

Vala smiles at you.

Maddy says 'Wanda when you heal you not only deplete yourself but who you are healing too.'

Wanda says 'his I believe I can work on Accepted Vala and Accepted Maddy'

Maddy says 'Does anyone have food?'

Wanda strokes her chin thoughtfully.

Vala gets a mushroom from an oilskin bag.

Vala gives a mushroom to Maddy.

Maddy eats a mushroom.

Wanda begins to weave the appropriate flows...

Wanda weaves flows of Earth to create a meal.

Wanda gives a strange fruit to Maddy.

Maddy says 'Oh thank you '

Wanda says 'Oh'

Vala says 'That's true, if someone is badly hurt they'll be very hungry after you finish healing them.'

Wanda says 'Maybe I can do this after all'

Vala nods at Wanda.
