first invocation

[redprayer]

Priest's Progress [Vault]

In a corner of one of the Vault's training rooms, Rezo is standing very still, holding a shakujo-style staff in front of him. At the same time he can be heard chanting in a foreign tongue, and as he chants, air begins to swirl around the tip of his staff, rattling the metal chimes together. The currents grow faster and stronger, whipping his hair and the ends of his coat around dramatically, and then-

"{Diem Wing.}"

-Rezo stomps the end of his staff against the ground and the wind whooshes outward in a circle away from him, knocking over several targets in the process. The closer they are, the more likely it is they've been sent flying.

Of course, any coolness is then undermined by Rezo having to shuffle around and right the targets up again...

Dewey Decimal-less [Vault]

It's been long enough since he was rescued that Rezo has gotten more comfortable with reading Imperial, such that he's started to read more for specific subjects than he is for the sake of reading practice.

That said, he's still learning to navigate the Vault library and his reading isn't exactly fluent yet. After another shelf proves to be of no use to him, Rezo exhales; then perks up when he hears someone approaching.

"Excuse me. I'm trying to find books on a particular subject...?" Hopefully you're someone who normally helps out at the Vault library. Or that you're a generally helpful sort.

Spirit Surgery [Locked to Ziel]

Rezo's fairly sure that Ziel doesn't believe that Rezo can help him. Or maybe it's Rezo who has his own doubts. Still, Rezo does have a little background in soul research- in manipulating astral bodies beyond just exploding them- so he seems to be the best shot Ziel has at treating such an unusual injury.

Settling on a time to meet in between the preparations for the Corsairs' latest mission was simple enough even if nothing else is likely to be, and when the time comes by Rezo is sitting quietly in his room awaiting a knock at the door. When he hears it, he answers it promptly.

"Ah, Ziel? Please, take a seat."

Rezo flips on the overhead light and stands aside so Ziel can enter. The Vault dormitories aren't exactly the most reputable of spaces for a doctor's office, but Rezo's doing his best with the space he has. His room is neat and tidy, with most personal effects tucked away, and he's found a spare chair and a set of medical tools that he's set on a side table.

As soon as Ziel's inside and the door is shut, Rezo asks "How have you been feeling?"

Comments

[redprayer]

Link may be disappointed, truthfully. What Rezo does is get into the same position as last time, start chanting the same non-Imperial words, causing the air to move in the same way as he casts exactly the same spell as last time.

He even knocks over the same training dummies as last time.

Looking neither pleased nor displeased, Rezo goes to prop them up again.

[newmemorywhodis]

Link's not disappointed; the wind is just as impressive a second time around. And it makes sense. Link can clearly see that Rezo is training, practicing his skills.

It's no different from how Link trains his skill with a sword.

And once again, Link steps forward to help Rezo pick up the dummies.

[redprayer]

When Link still remains to help pick up the dummies, Rezo is surprised, though not surprised enough to forget his manners. "Thank you, again," Rezo says.

Otherwise, Rezo follows Link's lead when it comes to not making much conversation. Friendly silence may not be Rezo's area of expertise, but he doesn't mind it if Link wants to watch while Rezo scrubs the proverbial rust off his magic skills.

[newmemorywhodis]

For a while, Link's content to silently watch, and periodically pick up the fallen targets. Eventually though, he gets restless.

And he starts to wonder.

"...Could you lift me?" he asks.

[redprayer]

The training is meditative, a gentle stretching of his magical abilities akin to doing yoga. He blinks when Link finally breaks the trance.

To lift someone with his wind magic...

"Most likely," Rezo replies. "How much do you weigh?" He presumes it isn't very much, given how light Link's footsteps sound to his ear.

[newmemorywhodis]

"Not much," Link says. It's not an exact measurement, but Link doesn't know a specific number to give in the first place - it's not something people usually measure in Hyrule.

There's not exactly an abundance of bathroom scales, after all.

"Revali and Tulin's wind could move me," he adds. In case that helps. Even if Link hasn't actually explained who 'Revali' or 'Tulin' is.

enjoy ur uppies, link

[redprayer]

Rezo has spent enough time working with peasants who didn't have access to human-sized scales either, such that he isn't taken aback by Link's vagueness. Though it is inconvenient. And he certainly doesn't know who/what Revali and Tulin are, but guessing from context- "Those are old friends of yours, correct?"

Rezo moves to stand in front of Link, his staff gently chiming as he steps. "I'm unsure how I will compare to them, but let me try something..."

Rezo's incantation this time is a silent one, up until he finally calls out the power word "{Levitation.}" Currents of wind begin to form around Link's feet, growing steadily stronger and whirling around Link's body until he's lifted off his feet and raised several meters into the air. It'll be a relatively gentle ascent, as these things go, though the feeling of air surrounding one's body might be alarming to those unused to it.

He will indeed!

[newmemorywhodis]

A faint heavy pause, before Link answers. "...Yes."

It's a question where the answer comes with mixed emotions. Tulin's is young, and full of energy. Not really an old friend at all.

Revali is dead.

But Link doesn't go into further detail. He just allows Rezo to call upon his wind...and then blinks, looking down, as he's gently raised up.

"It's slow?" He says, having expected...well, something with a bit more. Neither Revali or Tulin's winds had ever been slow and gentle like this.

[redprayer]

"Well I don't want to launch you into the ceiling," Rezo points out. He doesn't know how hard Link's head may or may not be, but it probably wouldn't be a pleasant experience regardless.

"What I'm using here is a modified version of the {Levitation} spell- normally used by the caster to fly. The caster controls the currents with his thoughts to lift his body about."

As a demonstration, he silent directs the wind to carry Link around the training room, doing his best not to clonk Link against any training dummies or walls.

[newmemorywhodis]

Link hums in acknowledgement. Made sense that Revali and Tulin had never developed anything similar, then. They were Rito. They had wings; they didn't need wind to fly.

But Link certainly enjoys his little jaunt around the room. He tries to see if he can spin in the air, like he's tumbling on the wind.

[redprayer]

Spinning might be a bit difficult, since Rezo's the one controlling the wind rather than Link, but it's not impossible since the wind is acting as more of a support than an impenetrable barrier.

"Do let me know if you want to be put down," Rezo says. "But this is serving as good practice."

Particularly when it comes to his sense of spatial orientation, Rezo wryly thinks as he accidentally clips one of the training dummies and knocks it aside.
