It wasn't an unfamiliar place for the wolf. She had come through here many times on her travels. It seemed to be the place she came to think also when she was in Polaris watching the Golems or in Eridanus patrolling around the place. Heterochromia eyes gazed around the room, lingering on the cracks upon the wall she had left there a long while ago when she had watched a Tigress be born from their Chrysalis. A small smile slipped across her features at the thought of Arete. Shaking it off Arkrael took her typical spot within the middle of the room and braced herself.

She needed to practice. It didn't matter why. She just did and she was going to do it. If she were to ever protect those closest to her heart she had to be better. She was good now, but that was still not enough in her eyes. She had to be the best. And to be the best she had to practice. Shaking her thoughts off Arkrael began to concentrate, summoning her magic to do as she wished. It didn't take long for her gem to start vibrating against her chest.

A small smile formed as she listened to the humming of her gemstone. She closed her eyes and lost herself within the tune, feeling as the iron ore from all around the room began to gather and pull towards her magnetism. Slowly it crept up her paws, covering up all four legs to bare armor along the fronts of them. The metal along her front legs continued on, wrapping around her gem and moving further up to make it's typical helm along her head and covered her eyes, leaving holes within the armor so that she may still see. I moved quicker down her spine, lining her back with an impressive piece that adorned several small and medium sized spines poking up from the now hardening metal the longer it staid magnetized to her form.

She held it for a much longer moment than she normally did. Moving around with ease. She even jumped here to there to test how easily it was to move in. It was like another layer of skin even in it's harden shell that coated over her. Impressed with the ability Arkrael finally soothed the magic away. Allowing the iron ore to settle back onto the ground and slowly absorb right back into the ground it had came from. Her tail swayed happily, glad her first attempt had gone so well. She could not say it would continue to be so successful, but she hoped it did.




Total successful: 19
Needed: 1

Arkrael pondered for a moment as she now sat upon her haunches. She had been succesfull with Magnet. Now it was time to decide which of her spells she should attempt this round. She went through all the ones she knew of. There had to be more than just those, but for now that was something she would tread upon later. When an idea struck her Arkrael turned her gaze towards the wall where a lone crack in the stone was. She hummed thoughtfully before grinning and rose up to her paws.

Padding over to the wall she sniffed at it thoughtfully. Yes, that was what she could do! But first she would need more stones to work with. This would be an easy spot to dislodge a few rocks from. Stepping a good few paces back Arkrael focused instantly. Her audits pushed forward as she lowered her head just a little bit. Just as before her gemstone came to life, humming and vibrating against her chest and Arkrael found herself growling softly from the sensation.

A loud crack echoed through the tunnel room and the crack upon the wall grew even larger and she lifted her head with a bright grin as she watched several stones and rocks quickly fall from the growing crack. There was a lot more this time around, which meant she had a lot more stones to practice her other spell with. Happy with the current work of gathering more stones Arkrael padded over to her loot and began piling them all up together.

Arkrael sat before her pile of stones, studying how many she had laying before her. She grinned to herself. She would be able to make a decent amount of things to create. Now was the time to begin. She pulled the first largest stone towards her as well as a medium sized stone, placing it between her front legs as she circled her paws around it. Her tail thumped against the ground a few times before growing still as she set her mind to focus. She had done this several times before so her confidence to do it again was high. With a nod to her own thoughts Arkrael continued to focus until she felt her stone come to life.

Arkrael watched intently as the stones began to compress until the rocks slowly fell away to reveal not one, but two beautiful gems. Arkrael instantly grinned as she studied them. One one a beautiful opal, much like her own, and the other was an ocean blue color that had swirls of a much lighter blue twisting about within it. It wasn't any attack per say, but it definitely was fun to do. Especially when it was always a guess of what kind of gem she would receive from the stones. She nodded with approval before she picked up the gems one by one and laid them to the side of her and slowly brought some more stones towards the middle of her legs once more. She would practice this one a couple more times and then move on with her training.

Arkrael concentrated hard again, staring at the stones between her legs. Her stone came to life, but a frown quickly marred the she-wolf's features. It was not as positive as she had hoped and this time her magic waned and only just barely cracked the surface of the stone before her. The rocks still fell away to reveal a pretty pink diamond, though smaller than the other two she had made. It was fine. Perhaps she just needed to take a break from gem form and come back to it later to finish off the rest of the rocks she had gathered. She studied the pink stone for a good moment before moving to add it to the other two she had previously made. Making sure they were secured in a pile Arkrael rose to her paws and padded off towards the center of the room. There she would stand and wait to ponder on just what she should attempt next.

Arkrael stood there for a long moment, trying to decide which of her many talents she should use. IT was too hard to decide, so she guessed she would from the beginning. She had remembered the first time she had used pebble quake and a fond smile caressed over her features. It was when Tamelyn and herself had first been born when a small golem had lumbered it's way into their area to steal away her gem shards. To this day she was still annoyed with that golem and had come to the conclusion that some day she would find that golem and take it apart. However she would manage that she wasn't sure. Shaking it off Arkrael attempted to summon her magic again. Much like the last attempt her gem just barely came to life, vibrating softly and humming almost too low for Arkrael to hear. The ground began to tremble beneath her paws, but it wasn't long lasting and soon faded away. Maybe she need a break. Arkrael scowled and plopped back on her haunches and looked up at the ceiling. It still was beyond her why sometimes it was easier to summon her magic while others it didn't work quite as much as she had wanted it to.

Disappointed that her last attempt did not work nearly as well as she had liked it to, Arkrael focused a little harder this time. Her muscles became rigid as she tensed up completely. However, it wasn't long before the floor beneath her paws began to tremble. Her gem began to vibrate in her chest and the intensity of the floor shaking beneath her paws grew more and more as it extended out and away from her position. Content with the intensity of that one, Arkrael slowly eased the earth to a rest. Allowing it to return to it's far more calm and unmoving self. She shook herself, dust and dirt flying off of her pelt as she did so. It was probably time for a good cleaning she figured. Soon, but not right now. She had to keep up her practices. Now with this one out of the way and done successfully she could try something else.

Arkrael sunk down against her haunches, a small yawn forming over her features before she shook it away casually. Idly her mind wandered off away from her current focus. Pondering on what her friends were up to these days. It had been a few days since last she saw Vazi. The mere thought of the stag sent her stomach into a flutter and she had to quickly shake her head to clear the thoughts away. She popped her jowls together, eager to get back to work with what she was doing. It was only then that she felt a sudden strange vibration in her gem and she glanced down at it as the sensation quickly faded away. She'd felt that before. The failure of a spell. Yet, what spell did her gem just try to use? It was a curious question and Arkrael would have to figure out what it was. Though how was she going to do that when she didn't even know what it had attempted.

A yawn tore across Arkrael's features, exposing all her deadly sharp canines. She had taken a rest from practicing her magic for a few days and she was now ready to get back at it. Shaking herself, sending dust and debris flying from her fur, Arkrael paced around in a small circle to ponder one what she wanted to try out first. When her mind traveled to that of a particular spell, Arkrael pulled herself over towards the center of the tunnel and plopped down on her haunches. Her pile of gems she had previous crafted days ago were still piled neatly off the the side and her gaze lingered on them for a small moment.

Perhaps she would try something new. Raising to her paws again she padded over to the gems and proceeded to push them over to her usual sitting spot. Once they were all gathered she returned to sitting and studied them all from there. She set her mind to focus, keeping her keen gaze upon the gems. Yet, it seemed nothing came. Not a single vibration nor hum from her own gem. Her brows furrowed with annoyance as a sharp breath left her nostril's. Well that was a nice start for the day... Maybe she just needed to warm up with easier spells.

OoC: Sorry for the long wait and short post.

Having not been successful in her last attempt, Arkrael had moved her gems back to the pile she had them in previously. Finally after sitting for a moment, pondering on why that particular spell had not quite worked, Arkrael had returned to her spot and stood there motionlessly. She did not close her eyes this time, but rather envisioned on what she wanted her magic to do. Summoning the spell to the surface she felt her fur begin to prick and bristle up. Her gem began to hum and vibrate as it normally did. It left a pleased grin upon her face as she watched the metal ore begin to pull out of the ground and walls all around, slithering along until they reached her paws and slowly made their way over her being.

She watched as it crept up over her, covering the front of her legs and circling around her chest to push against her gem. Slowly it slipped up along her shoulders and danced down along her spine while more slid along her skull to form the helm that she had grown all too familiar with. For a while she held the spell, moving around as the ore clung to her like a second layer of fur. With a yip, Arkrael dropped her hold on the magic and solemnly watched as the metal ore slowly fell away from her nody and returned to the earth around.

OoC:

Content that she had at least done one spell succesfully, Arkrael turned her attention to a thought that had caught her interest. She had attempted a spell a few days ago and had failed it. So, now was a good time to try again. Slowly Arkrael padded over to a wall and studied the large crack that had formed within it's surface, stretching from the middle and webbing out in all directions in small cuts in the stone while the more larger gash remained vertical. She grinned before shifting closer towards the wall. She pressed her nose to the cool surface, closing her eyes as she willed her magic to surface. A smile curled the edges of her muzzle as she felt the reaction of her gem and now she waited t see what the outcome would be from the spell she had just cast.
