*Ryker eyes widened at the sight of magic spewing from her hand. So they could learn magic as well? She was right about one thing, he definitely needed to meet more people. But if Macen and the other races all could have similar powers to their own, what risk could the others be in when all their magic was gone? He cleared his throat.*"You're right. I suppose I haven't left my home lands up until quite recently. The Macen back there... Weren't the most well representing of the ones I see out here."*He said to her, adjusting the glasses on his face.*"You must have quite the teacher to have such a firm grasp on it."

"There are many incompetent people alive."

*Yelena said simply and without much emotion in her tone of voice, which showed her belief in what she had just spoken. She kept her gaze fixed on Oni's eyes as he adjusted the glasses on his face. She gave a small cynical laugh as she listened to the words spoken by the stranger.* 

"Hah! He was nothing but one of the incompetents. If you really want power, you have to conquer it yourself." *Her eyes passed over the gloved hand that had caught fire a few seconds ago, still feeling the burning, satisfying heat that the flame caused her.* "As for your attempts, were they successful?"

"I can only imagine that number seems to grow the more you meet, yes?"*He asked at her words, not quite picking out her tone of voice towards it other than it being some fact she had picked up on. It was strange that she considered her teacher also incompetent. Surely she must have picked her magic up from someone else unless there was perhaps a source he knew little of. He peered at her curiously at the thought, only to be shaken from it at her reuse of magic and the question that followed. Macens sure didn't seem to care of how much magic they used. Strange.*"As successful as I can hope for it to be for now. I'd show you, but I think it better to only use the magic when I most need it until I find a more permanent solution. There's been a few test runs, and I've managed to at least create these as end product."*He said, poking at his glasses.*"Imbuing magic into items seem to work wonders as an alternative storage method when others aren't available."
Glenn
*Yelena arched an eyebrow for a moment.* "Yes, the number only increases." *In her own view almost all the people she had met were great incompetents, after all, if you don't survive, you are an incompetent. This was not unlike the man who had taught her how to better control the magic within her. He was an incompetent, both in life and at the time of his death. Nothing more than a miserable being. Despite the rarity of this event, Yelena found herself curious about the Oni's practices regarding magic. It seemed like something useful to obtain.* "For what reason would I store my magic? And how could I do that?" *She turned a little more toward the Oni, patting the horse's side so that the animal would stay in place.*

"Well it's quite situational as far as I know but, in the event that your magic runs out, this would be an alternative source to temporarily regain some. For emergency situations, I guess you can say."*He explained to her, recalling what he had learned since he's been wandering out here.*"In your case it may be a bit different... Depending on magic specialty. I do believe most mages keep their magic stored in these crystals so that they can resort back to them when need be. Of course, I have yet to find any to do proper investigation of, but this is what I have so far."
