RE: Once Upon... (AlexsSketches, Joss)
Tawnos laughed right in Oliver's face. " Why would you turn into a frog? That sounds like a much more powerful spell then silly sleight of hand. No I want to teach you a simple fire spell. Something used to start a stove, light a torch, or scare off an attacker." The prince reached forward and took the boys hand once more, " Most spells have several component, kind of like a recipe, a song and a dance all at once. You usually need an item to focus on, the right gesture and the right words. The fire spell though is the first one most learn, all it takes is the will to perform it and the words Kula Shrika Pria." The prince held his hand and pointed at the candlestick across the room, he mouthed the words and creased his forehead in concentration.
Tawnos felt the power rise in himself and then quickly flow out of his body and reach across the room. He hoped that the physical connection would allow Oliver to feel it a swell. The wick ignited in a burst of green and blue fire before turning to the more natural orange of candle flame. For a moment the prince seemed drained of energy but it quickly faded. As if he jogged around the room and then rested.
" Remember Oliver magic takes a larger toll than actually getting up and doing things with your own hands, but it can also come in handy."
