(Yes/no)</strong>No<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Rianna was caught a little by surprise by Corann's question.  She couldn't figure out what made him consider that she was a psion.  She shook her head and answered, "No, I'm not a psion.  My magic is closest to sorcery."  She moves the bowl on the table, again without gesture.  A simple hand of force moves her food gently.  "Most of what I have trained is attack magic, but I know some minor utility spells, some of the basics that most magicians learn early to help train.  Things like lifting small items, opening doors, changing something's color.  Little things like that.  For me, I have trained the simple spells to perfection.  I usually have them active at all times.  They don't create enough drain on me to even notice their use.  If I need to concentrate on something though, I usually end any other enduring spells that I have active."<br/><br/>After finishing her explanation of her magic, she ate the last bit of her stew and set her bowl to the side.  Rianna's posture was sitting remained attentive while Corann started to relax, despite the plethora of weapon on his back.  Rianna's sword would probably drag on the gronud if she leaned back or slouched at all.  She would remove the scabbard when she was ready to relax, but for now, there was no need.<br/><br/>Corann's response to her own question made her chuckle.  Weaponry did appear to be one of his specialties.  One should be able to tell simply by looking at him.  The loss of his Needle was now starting to sound more like a weapon rather than a tool, as she had originally assumed when he was talking about his Neelde and Threads earlier.  His family had properly informed him of the threat that magic posed.  It was common for magicians to be targetted first, which was why magicians always looked for the best people to serve as shields, or simply make golems or undead to act as such.  Rianna wasn't exactly a typical magician, so she was always considered a bodyguard type due to her lack or ranged ability.  After considering Corann's response she nodded then answered, "I am a swordmage, so my duties are to engage in melee combat, primarily against the foes that pose the greatest threat.  My magical abilities allow me to cause great amounts of damage and obscure my position from my opponent making it difficult for them to place a damaging hit.  Tactically, I prefer to engage an opponent in tight corridors, wide enough for me to swing my sword, but not so wide that they can get around easily."<br/><br/>Rianna noticed Corann's glances over toward the door and expected he was hoping that his companions would return.  They had left just as she had arrived, so she wondered if perhaps she was the cause.  As they discussed things it appeared they might be returning.  The veiled woman entered first, and Rianna wondered if she would be joining Corann and her at the table.
