Euna had been trying for at least one year, to properly conjure fire.
The book made it sound so simple. First, compress your mana, as with any magical undertaking. Then, will it into flame. The third step involved releasing the mana at speed, so that the fire didn’t scorch the mage from the inside out. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that simple, but it was simple enough. In theory.
Euna stood at an area not frequented by many people, except for herself, a book open at her feet. The sea lapped at her left, and dense trees and foliage swayed slightly in the late afternoon breeze. She had used a rock to weigh the page of her book down, so that the pages weren’t fluttered by the wind.
She took a deep breath and let the mana flow. That was the easy bit. Unfortunately, Euna didn’t have the discipline or the maturity required to will mana into fire. She let it out a bit too early. A bolt of mana shot out from her fingers, ricocheted into the ground, leaving a dark, powdery scorch mark, and headed for the trees. Already, she could spot the figure of someone there, right in the path of her accidental projectile.
“Sk—look out!” she yelled to whoever was there.
