"An information gathering spell then?" Kosuke asked, using his fingers to play with the grass. "It must have been a very special one for it to require so much manna." He turned to her, "Oh, sorry. I cast my own information gathering spell earlier. I just used it to find where your voice was coming from, but it told me a lot more than that."<br/><br/>He smiled at her. "You've seemed suspicious of me this entire time, so I'd like to show you a special spell-- to prove that I trust you, and that you can trust me."<br/><br/>He reached inside his bag and felt around until he'd found what he was looking for. When his hand came out it was holding a little slip of paper with an odd, swirly symbol on it. He set the piece of paper on the ground, right in between the two of them. Then he reached into his bag and pulled out a piece of quartz crystal, setting it on top of the paper. He held his hands over the paper, and paused to explain himself before casting the spell.<br/><br/>"This is one of the few spells in white magic that takes more than just willpower to cast. After I've cast it, we'll each be able to see each other's aura for five minutes. Well, not all of it. Specifically, we'll see the layer that shows a person's purity. The purity reading isn't based by what a person thinks or believes themselves to be individually, it's a slightly more accurate reading. The lighter the aura, the purer the person, and it gets darker with each impurity. Impurities the spell registers are lying, inflicting pain, impure thoughts or desires, and usage of black magic. But of course, sometimes there are pure reasons for doing such things. Purities the spell registers are protecting, healing, truthfulness, love, and generosity. If an impure thing was done for a pure reason, or vise versa, they cancel each other out. At birth this aura is gray, and it can move in either direction. As you might guess, light is good and dark is bad."<br/><br/>He smiled at her, "I simply wish to show you that I have nothing to hide."<br/><br/>With his words spoken, Kosuke began chanting under his breath. The words were ancient, and it was doubtful he even knew what they meant. After maybe thirty seconds of chanting he stopped and the quartz crystal began to glow. Suddenly the crystal shot its light at the both of them and some sort of mist like substance could be seen around them.<br/><br/>The results were pretty much as expected. The mist surrounding Kosuke was pure white, and sort of... well, made him look like an angel. The mist surrounding Brinn on the other hand, was a slightly darker gray. It wasn't black, but she certainly had committed her fair share of impurities.<br/><br/>"Well, there you have it," Kosuke said, his smile slightly sad after seeing the level of impurity in Brinn's aura.
