After Instructor Drakkon called attendance, he said, "this week's exercises are chapter 1 in Basic Elemental Magic and the XiFi exercise described in chapter 2 of Beginner's Guide to Spoken Charms and Curses. Read the descriptions and ask your neighbors first if you need help." A bag appeared in his hand. "Now, if you already know how to do both of these exercises, I see no need for you to stay here for eight hours, but you will first demonstrate this. Come up here and show me. If you can do it correctly, you may leave."
Uriel smiled and stood. Immediately, everyone else who'd stood sat back down. He walked to the center of the room, and five balls of elements appeared, Gothe, Air, Fire, Water, and Light. Instructor Drakkon nodded, and they disappeared.
