"Alright that sounds like a good idea. I would have honestly been a little disappointed if you didn't want to start early." Gildae took off his sword belt and set it down in the corner. "You're going to learn how to protect yourself before you learn anything about offense. Which will be important because you said you have problems with magic so if you cast something it could fizzle out or become out of control. Wards can't fatally backfire either. Well at least the first few I'm going to teach you can't anyways," Gildae said as he walked back over to his pupil. "We'll be using fire a lot so this first ward will help to prevent burns. In order for this to work you have to make your inner flame burn hotter than the fire around you. When you do it just right your body should glow a little bit, with the glowing starting near your heart and spreading out from there. Watch me." Gildae's torso could be seen glowing faintly under his tunic and soon the glowing spread out from there to his arms and soon his entire body and a slight orange glow about it. "Your turn."
