Private Finished Shadows, shadow everywhere.

He'd watch as she pulled the darkness over herself, Selena stepping besides him to observe the ongoing magical. "That's good," James would say, he could tell she was covered in darkness, but he could still see her, his true sight ability was useful though a bit odd, he could see an outline of her.

"You're covered," he'd say, stepping to the left and looking her over, Shadow was complaining in the back of his mind, the true sigh ability didn't extend to the entity, so Zora was invisible to him. "Everything ok on there? Breathing ok?" he wanted to make sure it was safe for her.

He could see her outline as she was cloaked in shadow it was so interesting, being able to see someone who was hidden from others. In the background his regalia watched and nodded in approval.

"Good good," he'd say giving her a grin, "you did well," she was a fast learner, that was good, "you've picked it up quickly, guessing you're pretty used to magic." Darkness wasn't considered an element by most but he suspected elementalists would have the least difficulty learning darkness manipulation.

"Let's try a smaller shadow," he'd say, gesturing to one such shadow, "see if you'll be able to blend into it."

He'd nod, watching her step over to the smaller shadow, stretching smaller ones were sometimes a bit trickier. "Just like last time, clear your mind, let the magical connection do the work as your mind touches the shadow."

Again he'd have his true sight, letting him see her outline once she was wrapped in the darkness. Selene stayed by his side, watching the tutor session, watching how James handled it.

James would again watch as she vanished into the shadow, her outline being quite clear to him thanks to his ability. True sight combined with shadow magic would make an interesting combination.

"It gets easier the more you do it," he'd say with a chuckle, "once you've used it enough times it becomes almost like instinct." He was enjoying this, he was going to have to help tutor shadow mages more often.

"You've done wonderfully Zora," he said truthfully, "shadow magic is incredibly useful, don't be afraid to experiment with it, it's a bit different for everyone." He himself could spawn darkness for his own manipulations, but most started manipulating pre-existing darkness, "I'd say you got shadow blending down pretty well, we could do more practice here if you'd like."

He'd give her a smile, she'd done well, shadow magic was an odd thing that people found difficult at times but she had certainly figured it out quickly.

"Ok, one or two more times then," he'd enjoyed this, he hoped to have more chances to teach shadow magic to people, it wasn't something he'd expected to be good at, yet here he was.

James would watch her as she practiced more, his true sight ability allowing him to see her outline through the shadows.
