Valerys went back to Sekai's Tower, known for the sensei who taught genjutsu there, and told here that she had met too many people that knew how to stop her genjutsu. She asked if there was a way to increase their power, stopping those with even great resistance. Sekai told her that if she learned a form of jutsu focus, which meant that they had utilized their techniques even and begun to understand their great power, then she could unlock greater power against foes in them. Valerys heeded the advice and said, "So all I have to do is go into the courtyard and use a bunch of my soulcaster techniques?"
"While making sure to feel them with your chakra and increase their power, yes," Sekai replied, and Valerys went off ready to conduct her business. When she got to the room where students were often training together, Valerys partnered up with Corvus (a man she had met here not long ago) and prepared herself to strengthen her genjutsu prowess.

Valerys started to form her soul energy for the Harm All Souls technique, Corvus fully prepared for it. She sent her chakra throughout her arms and fingertips, charging it as much as she could -- knowing that the full force of jutsu focus would reside in her preparation for the technique. Valerys sent the technique toward Corvus' mind with all of the energy she had stored up in it, and he was able to block it back. "Damn it," Valerys muttered and Corvus told her, "Don't be disappointed. I'm particularly skilled at resisting jutsu. When you've beat me out, you've know that you've learned the technique." Valerys listened to Corvus and tried again. Corvus held the Dispel handsign at his chest, ready to block whatever might be coming in his direction.

This time she filled the technique with as much of her chakra as she could, until her arms felt hot and as if they were about to exude fire. The technique blazed with her power as she sent it forward, infecting Corvus' mind and weaving it into all of his nooks and crannies. Corvus tried to Dispel it, but Valerys found that her chakra overpowered him and his resistance gave away. Suddenly Corvus would start to take increasing damage from her evil soul as Valerys had gotten through his defenses. Valerys stopped the technique and Corvus said, "Good job, that's exactly how it is done. Keep training your soulcaster techniques and they will become even more powerful. When one concentrates and truly masters an area of their fighting style, it will reward them." Valerys knew the advice to be true and the two of them continued with their training.

As Valerys was heading out of Sekai's Tower, she looked over and looked toward a tower that she had never quite noticed before. It stretched high and she asked someone about it. They told her that this was Kimyona's Tower and that here she could learn more about chakra techniques and rituals -- that he was well-versed in these topics. Valerys traveled there to meet the sensei and came upon a man in his Alchemical Lab, a long mess of matted black hair falling down his shoulders. Valerys said, "Hello, would you happen to be Sensei Kimyona?" The man wondered who was asking and she told him, as well as about her interest in rituals and chakra lore. Kimyona pondered her, as if deciding to take her on, and finally said, "Follow me then." He took her down the hallway to a door which opened into a pretty vast library, filled with all sorts of scrolls and books (on various topics Valerys assumed). Valerys marveled at this wonder in awe.

Kimyona took her into the library and said, "Lining these shelves is all sorts of books on the topics that you seek to explore. Look them over and give them a read. If you are able to do so, then you will increase your knowledge of them tenfold and be able to learn them easier when it comes time." Valerys nodded and Kimyona left her to her work, as she ran up to the first shelf and pulled down some thick scroll. It claimed to be a collection of Wind Release techniques, and Valerys set it on a table in front of her so that she could more closely examine its contents. She went through the entries rather quickly, just wanting to get the gist of the information now so that her training would be easier at a later date. It was difficult to make out some te images, the wind seeming to be almost invisible on the page at times.

For an hour Valerys skimmed over the wind scroll, taking note of technique after technique, and when she was done she pulled herself away and put it back in its place -- needing to light a new candle in order to continue reading in this library. Next was the earth scroll, one that Valerys was particularly interested in since she planned to master this release. She unraveled this scroll on to the table just as she had the others and started to look at all of the information it possessed. It seemed that many of the techniques within could be used for offense or defense. Some of them could take shape of certain animals, triceratops, beavers, and squirrels. Valerys remembered these techniques and their handsigns, in case she ever experienced them in battle. Next she moved on to some of the defense techniques, noting that there seemed to be quite a few barriers and shields that she could learn. She silently thanked Kimyona for all of the knowledge that he had provided for her.

After she had finished her examination of the wind and earth scrolls, Valerys put it away and started looking through all of the other books that Kimyona seemed to possess. To her surprise, many of them talked about subjects that she had never even heard about before. One thick, ancient text said that it was the Complete Encyclopedia of Travel Rituals. Valerys pulled this one down, not quite familiar with this type of ritual. As she flipped through the pages, Valerys knew that this was something she was going to have to master. For the first time she encountered what travel rituals were, apparently they could move one from one space to another (too bad it couldn't have also controlled time, Valerys thought to herself). On the first page were some basic instructions on how to find and memorize these rituals. The next page had some illustrations of some simple diagrams, which Valerys assumed were part of most of these rituals.

As she got further within the book, she began to make out small descriptions of several kinds of different travel rituals that she had never known existed. It was no wonder that some of her opponents had been so good at teleporting. She started becoming more eccentric about the art as she knew more and more, like that someone could blink out of existence to avoid an attack or set up a reverse portal to help somebody move to their location. There were so many rituals that she couldn't have memorized what all of them did, and put the book up after two hours so that she would not waste any more of her time engaged in its ancient text. By that time Kimyona had returned and informed her that it was approaching night time. Before she left, Valerys asked him if he could tell her about the travel rituals and chakra lore.

"Ritual and chakra lore," Kimyona explained, "Are two skills that a ninja will need for your sort of fighting style. Ritual lore will allow you to begin learning how to perform the travel rituals, although you will need to discover them in shops and buy their instructions. Chakra lore has much wider use in combat, and you will be able to dissect techniques that an opponent may use since you are familiar with its construction." Valerys listened and knew that all of these came back down to knowledge. Knowledge was power and one had it, it turned out to be very helpful in the most unsuspecting situations. Before they left, Kimyona took her back over to the Encyclopedia of Travel Rituals and pointed out a couple to here that were particularly useful. Such as the Mutable Door. Valerys kept these rituals in mind and rushed out of the tower, ready to be going back to her bedroom after the long night of study. As she faded off to sleep, she thought of all of the amazing new techniques and rituals that she had learned.

The next day Valerys found that she was not quite done with Kimyona, so she traveled back to his tower and once more found him studying in his Alchemical Lab. Valerys walked in and said, "Wow, this is quite the place. Never seen anything quite like it." Kimyona explained that this was his labratory and invited Valerys in. Luckily she had brought some of her amber and bloodstone with her, Kimyona telling her that she could spread them out onto the alchemical table. She dumped out the bags content which had three of each and Kimyona said, "These are good looking gems, you've done well in collecting them. If you want to become a Crystalmancer, however, you are going to need to learn to craft this gems into powerful items." Valerys listened and pondered what he said, knowing that this was possible but never being given the right guidance. Kimyona walked over to one of his cabinets and began to dig through his tools.

He pulled out a rough chisel and a hammer and brought it over to Valerys, telling her that if she were able to get the hit exactly right then she would be able to start making the gem look more beautiful. She should go with that instinct, continuing to shape and work with the gem. She did as she was told, holding the pick to the side of the gem and performing a quick, clean solid chop with the hammer and clearing one of the imperfections on it side. Kimyona came over and looked at it, saying, "That's good for a first timer. Look at the tools that you are using: the pick has been desgined to get the nicest cuts into the gems that stand before you. It has a precise point that has been coated in diamond powder, meaning that there is almost nothing that could not be cut by it. You'll need to be careful when cutting not to lose any large portions of the gem -- or risk losing all of the money you spent on the components.

"And besides that the hammer..." Kimyona held it up with his right hand to show it to the light. It was sleek and slender, not like an ordinary hammer used for nails or battle. "It has also been designed for quick, precise movements due to its shape." Kimyona handed it back and told Valerys to try cutting at the gem again. She did so, taking the hammer in her right hand and weilding in a strong downward fashion on the upper edge of the gem. The pick came down and shaped away at it's rough edges. "That's good," Kimyona said, "Keep on with that and you'll be a regular Crystalmancer in no time. Learning techniques such as these with your crafting will allow you to craft at a much faster rate and cheaper price, much needed if you plan on making creations in the heat of combat or during a mission." Kimyona took Valerys around his workstation then, and showed her many other fabulous things about the Crystalmancers.

Gem Disk
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Infusing chakra into a Gem allows the user to turn a Gem into a disk to carry objects.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this Jutsu is 30 meters + 15 meters per Class Level. Duration of this Jutsu is 5 hours per Class Level. With this Jutsu the user creates up to a 3 meter circular disk made of a single gem that follows the user and carries large loads for the user. The disk is 3 meters in diameter and 1 foot deep. It can hold up to 1,000 pounds per Class Level. It will follow behind the user. If not directed otherwise, the disk stays roughly 2 meters from the user. The disk can move in any direction as long as it is within range of the user, meaning the user can use the disk themselves to travel around. If the disk is ever out of range, due to moving to far away from it or moving it too far away, the gem disk crumbles to dust. It also crumbles to dust at the end of the Jutsu's duration. If it crumbles, any items carried by the disk fall to the ground. Must use a Gem.
Limit: Must be an Alchemist. Must be a Crystalmancer.

[OOC: Not true at all! I really liked your training actually. Thought it was very original~]

Next Kimyona took her over to his own collection of crystals and gems. Valerys looked upon it, amazed. They were held within a wooden chest with gold designs, and when opened up it revealed several shelves broken into many compartments with all sorts of crystals and gems. Kimyona reached in and took out an amber and passed it to Valerys. It looked nicer than the ones that she was used to seeing. "Infuse your chakra into this gem," Kimyona said, "and turn it into a disk. With the right strength and size, you could create a disk that could hold even multiple people." Valerys looked at the amber in her hand and wondered at the strength that it supposedly possessed. She took in a deep breath and let her chakra course down her arms, forming into the amber and setting it ablaze with her energy.

She focused on making it expand and form a larger space, and it did seem to grow ever so slightly. However, not enough happened to make anybody impressed. Kimyona seemed surprised and said, "This must be your first Crystalmancer jutsu -- when you are trying to imbue your chakra into the gem make sure that you allow it to absorb everything. This gems are ancient and have formed for many hundreds of years under the ground. They will take as much chakra as you will give them." Valerys resented that he knew she was not very skilled in these techniques, but respected how much Kimyona was helping her and did as she was told. She infused as much chakra as her body would allow into the amber in her hand and focused on it swelling with her energy -- getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Soon it became a reality.

The amber grew in size until it looked like a large platter, but as she had caused it to grow Valerys had neglected to make sure that it would keep its strength and form. Instead, it became thin and looked as if it would break if she dropped it. "Oh no..." she said and Kimyona looked a little disappointed. "Okay, try again." He took the gem away from her and threw it away, pulling out another amber. "This time make sure that you focus on keeping its toughness, remember with enough training you might even be able to hold up a whole party of people." Valerys listened to her sensei and started to do the same thing as before, letting this amber take in all of her chakra that she allowed. Soon it was burning and seemed as if it wanted to grow, and Valerys allowed it. The amber took on the shape of a platter again, but this time thick and strong as if it could hold up a small animal. "Good job!" Kimyona said.

At any time the user of the memory gem can dispel the memory from the gem, making it a normal gem again, and can even put a new memory into the gem at that time by performing this jutsu again. Others must use a dispel Chakra Jutsu targeted on the memory gem in order to destroy the memories stored within. Must use a Gem.
Limit: Must be an Alchemist. Must be a Crystalmancer.

After she learned that technique as well, Kimyona told Valerys that he had something very interesting to teach her. He took out another one the ambers and focused on it, using his concentration and chakra to imbue it with something. Then he handed it to Valerys who was allowed to open it up with her own mind. "Go ahead and take a look," Kimyona said as she started to view the interior of the gem, "you will be learning to do the same, so make sure that you pay attention." Valerys looked into the gem with her chakra and was able to make out a memory that Kimyona had stored there -- one of himself when he was a young alchemist. Valerys studied the space and how she entered the memory, seeking to keep it in mind for the future when she also needed to use this technique. The young Kimyona walked up to a store and purchased a few very rare ingredients and walked out into the street.

Suddenly Valerys was thrown out of the memory and it was over. It hadn't lasted very long, but she was surprised by the resourcefulness of this technique. She grabbed the amber in her own hand and Kimyona told her to try to overwrite the memory with one of her own. Valerys thought back to her many days on the docks near the ancient volcano which never erupted. She thought of her old senseis who used to teach young fisherman out there, and how they had allowed a girl to join amongst their ranks when she killed an innocent man. They taught her that night about all sorts of things related to boating and docking, and she remembered this night very clearly -- as if it were just yesterday. With her chakra acting like a tape recorder, she attempted to funnel all of these thoughts into the gem so that it could be seen later.

When she was done Valerys handed the amber to Kimyona who inspected it, running his chakra through it and immediately opening up the gem to view its contents. He was gone for a little while but came back and said, "It was not perfect. The memory was somewhat distorted and hard to make out, as well as random blank spots that entered the vision intermittently. You'll have to make sure that you make your chakra spread more consistently through the dream and that it is set up to play as clearly as possible. You'll want to be able to look back on this events and see every little detail." Valerys obeyed and took back the amber, looking through the memory herself to see how bad it was. It was pretty broken, displaying only momentary shots of her memories and then black screens.

Valerys went in and tried to fix the memory, using her chakra to patch up the spaces that she had missed before. It was an intricate process, requiring her to go step by step through her memory and detect which parts of it might have been messed up, replacing them with the correct information. When she was done it had taken almost ten minutes to complete, but when Kimyona looked over the gem he said, "Yes, this is how it is done. I can feel the salt water in the air and on my lips. I can see those men watching you. Although, the killing was not exactly the sight that I wanted to see..." Valerys smiled at him and said, "Sorry, it was an influential moment." Kimyona just nodded and gave her a couple more gems to work with. "Take these with you and go investigate the dojo and the surrounding areas. Encapsulate your memories in here for me and I will store them in my banks, so that I will know more about the people here, and in return you will finally train this technique."

Valerys accepted his deal and was handed his ambers that she was meant to store for him. She put them in her messenger pack and headed off into the Dojo, looking for people to talk to. She came across several parties and made small talk, making sure to talk to as many individuals in a short time as possible so that Kimyona would have the greatest amount of information in ten minutes. When she had spoken to several parties, and at least twenty-five different individuals, she went out into the desert by herself and sat with Kimyona's gems, focusing on them with her concentration and awareness. She took one out in particular and held it between her pointer finger and her thumb, staring at its intricate pattern and studying its shape. When she was ready, Valerys sent her chakra pouring into it.

It felt as if the memories were pouring from her head on their own, movnig throughout her arm and into her hands, and eventually into the amber. She brought forward the memory of what had just occurred, as she met all of the peoples in the dojo, and trasmitted it into chakra waves that moved through her body. The chakra patterns folded and morphed inside the amber, turning into a viewing device. As she did this, Valerys held her concetration and chakra flow as steady as possible so as to not cause the same mistakes as last time -- when she had left random black entries in her memories. After a little while the memory had been transcribed as far as Valerys could tell and she brought it foward to view it and make sure that everything was okay. Her mind tapped into the amber and instantly she was looking through her own eyes, as she walked up to various people and asked for their names.

As Valerys watched the memory again she noticed that she had done a lot better than before, this time leaving almost nothing out. It was a perfectly fine viewing experience, but the senses were slightly distorted and a little lower than average. She kept the memory as it was and set off to find some new one that she could store. She went and spent some time with Sekai, the genjutsu master, at her tower and talked to her a little before interviewing some of the students as well. While it wasn't the best information, Kimyona couldn't be too picky -- she was helping him afterall. When she was done with this, Valerys did the same as powerful but this time went off to her own room in order to fill the gem with her memories. She sat with it in a meditative pose and looked upon the amber, letting her mind weave over it with grace.

Her chakra pulled and twisted as she thought about Sekai, and felt a little bit bad about giving away her information to another sensei, but continued with her mission -- planting her chakra into the amber as much as possible. Soon it was filled with her memories in the form of this raw energy, spinning in intricate tape-like patterns that could be viewed at a later date. Valerys held the gem and viewed the memory again, noting how easy it was to look at all of the background information now that one had more time to "be in the moment." With a breath, Valerys put up the amber and prepared another one. Although she had not gained any new memories, Valerys planned on storing some of her former memories into the dojo with this one. As long as she didn't give Kimyona any important information about herself, then she would be fine.

She began to think back to the memory of the first time she ever met Rogue, and how Lue and Eldwich had introduced her. She thought of the girl with the bright red hair and eyes, and all of that massive steel armor that covered her body. It seemed to evoke the entire memory of having met her, and how rough she had seemed, and Valerys played it once over in her mind. Just to make sure that everything was there and that it was going to be transmitted without a problem. Valerys summoned up her chakra in her brain to record these thoughts and had them travel throughout her body, following the path of her nerves which connected to the brain. These electro-magnetic memories, which had once been impulses in her neurons moments ago, traveled to her fingers and exited into the amber gem.

The memory began to form inside of the amber and transform it into more than just a common gem. She looked at it and the two others that had been filled with her memories since she began this mental journey. It was amazing that she had done so well. Valerys brought up the amber piece that contained her memories of Rogue and viewed it to make sure that all of the memories were in tact. There were gaps in some places which Valerys needed to correct, since it had been such an old memory, but for the most part the entire memory could be viewed. When she was done with all of this, Valerys grabbed her things and traveled toward Kimyona's Tower to provide him with the intel that he had requested. Kimyona took them from Valerys and viewed them, commenting and saying, "This is much better than you were doing before. I almost feel as if I am you -- looking through the world in first person. Even my senses are in tune."

After that he stored these three ambers and brought back over the one that Valerys had originally imbued, which held her memories from the docks. "You can change memories inside of a gem as well," Kimyona informed her, "If you use your chakra to erase the last thing that was in there, and simply replace it with your new energy and memory, the gem will obey. In this way, a Memory Gem can be useful for all time, remaining even inside of dungeons and armories for years before being discovered by future adventurers." Valerys pondered of all that would be possible with this technique, envisioning what would soon be here room here in Senpu with hundreds of colorful gems -- each of them stored with a different kind of memory. Valerys smiled at Kimyona and said, "Pass me that amber. I'll give it a try."

Valerys reached inside of the gem and saw her memory of the docks again, wondering about her former life, and began to let her chakra fade away -- watching as the memory reversed and seemed to slowly disappate from view. It went back and back until the entire memory of her experience on the docks was gone, and Valerys used her chakra to start creating a new memory. The one of her and Kimyona in this very lab, learning the Memory Gem technique together. It was relatively easy to do since it had just happened that day, and Valerys was getting very good at this technique -- leaving out no sensory details or pieces of memory. When it was done Valerys handed the gem back to Kimyona and said, "It is done. Please keep this gem as a token of my gratitude." Kimyona took it and viewed it, giving her compliments on how well she was done on the technique. He placed her amber memory of them training inside his counter. Perhaps one of a kind.

After her training in Crystalmancy with Kimyona, Valerys took off from his tower and started to seek out Sekai's Tower once more. Although this time she was not going to meet with the sensei, but rather one of the students she had come to know, Corvus. Corvus and her went to the trianing room and Valerys explained that she was attempting to increase her abilities to resist genjutsu. "I see," Corvus said, "so somewhat a reverse of what we did last time?" Valerys nodded her head and both of them knew how this was going to go. This time Corvus was going to use his genjutsu on her, which Valerys would then attempt to counter. It was not going to be nice for her, her mind being messed with so much, but it would no doubt build up her resistance to genjutsu. "Alright, I'm ready when you are," Valerys told him. Corvus suddenly started forming handseals and went in for his genjutsu. It was as if the air around him was suddenly burning brightly with all of the chakra that he was using against her.

Valerys prepared herself by taking the Dispel Genjutsu handsign and put her fingers together, forcing her mind to concentrate and see the incoming genjutsu for what it was. Corvus' chakra suddenly hit her like a ton of bricks and she could feel his presence threatening to overwhelm her. Valerys had her chakra keep moving throughout her body so that nothing would be stagnant, making it where it was difficult to trap her playful mind. But Corvus was skilled in genjutsu and soon enough he was forcing Valerys to succumb to his powers. Valerys suddenly saw herself in an empty room -- a small whistling coming from down the hall. She wanted to go search out what the sound was out of instinct, but knew it to be a trap and put her hands back up into position -- trying to force her will to cooperate. The whistling made it difficult to concetrate, but thanks to her meditation Valerys pushed it out.

The energy surged through her body and Valerys let out a yell, the will inside of her evil soul coming out to help as well. All of a sudden she felt much stronger and the wave of her willpower tore apart the chakra illusion -- the empty room and the whistling slowly disappating. Corvus stood in front of her shocked, as if he could not believe that she would actually be able to do it. "Now I get it," Valerys told him, "It's all about your inner will power. If you control that, then genjutsu doesn't stand a chance. Everything is connected to the mind." Corvus didn't even wait to try another attack on her, just went for it, and Valerys was ready. His chakra was more familiar now, not as dangerous, but she got too cocky and his power wrapped against her Valerys could not stop it. Her will had not been strong enough at the moment of attack, and she returned to that old place. That empty training room.

As Valerys threw off Corvus' genjutsu technique, she told him, "I think that I've mastered at least part of the technique for now." After that the two of them moved on to an enchantment technique called Heroism which they had learned about in their studies from Sekai. Valerys was the first one to try it, stepping forward to Corvus so that she would be within touching range of him. She formed the handseals as she had seen in various scrolls and let her chakra flow throughout her arm, a popular method in the enchantment perception she was beginning to figure out. As the power of her chakra built up in her hand, Valerys knew that she was going to have to use it to reach into Corvus' mind -- unleashing the great power that he was hiding within himself. Valerys stepped forward and touhed him on the chest, letting her chakra pour out of her fingertips and directly into his body.

The chakra swarmed into him and Valerys had it wrap around his heart, muscles, and eventually up to her brain. Once here, Valerys had to use her chakra to open up certain barriers in his mind -- bypass his own bodies hangups on using skills and attacks to their full effect. Corvus had a rather uncluttered mind and Valerys found it easy to open him up to the enchantment. Soon he was filled with her chakra and it allowed him to tap into his mind, unlocking his body and giving him certain benefits. Although, Valerys didn't know if it had unleashed the maximum effect possible. "I feel stronger," Corvus said and ran to a wall with his sword, unleashing a furry of blows that did more damage than an ordinary attack. "Oh yes, much stronger." Next it was Corvus' turn to try the technique on her, so she stood still as he walked up to her.

Corvus formed the handseals and used the technique, immediately putting Valerys under some sort of effect. She was amazed to find how much stronger she felt, and instead of testing out her spear Valerys tried to use the technique again. She found that it came easier now, as if there was some great heroism that had started to build up in her body assisting her. She built up chakra more easily down her arm and into her hands, unleashing it forward in another touch to Corvus' body. He accepted it gladly, the chakra racing through him as he started to get stronger and stronger. He absorbed her energy like a sponge, taking in every last bit of it, and then threw his sword toward the ground. It splintered the floor. Then he turned to Valerys and said, "Try another genjutsu on me... I bet it wouldn't even work." Valerys smiled and did as she was told.

After training with Corvus for a while, Valerys went back out to meet with Kimyona. It was getting late in the evening now and she wanted to learn a few more Crystalmancer techniques from him before it got dark. She walked in and for once he wasn't in his lab but in the lobby, teaching some other students. She waited for them to finish up and then had Kimyona take her to his lab, where he showed her a crystal for the first time. It looked beautiful compared to many of the other gems that she had been working with, and Valerys marveled at it. "And what can be done with it?" she asked, wanting to get down to business. Kimyona told her that he knew she was resourceful with taijutsu. Crystal Hands could cause crystal to form over one's hands, augmenting their taijutsu and crumpling defenses. Valerys held the crystal in her hand and felt its power, thinking about how she would perform this technique.

Chakra welled up inside of her fists and arms, coursing through her body just to move to this location. In the palm of her right and left hands, the crystals that Kimyona placed before her began to glow and shift in form. She could feel their structure within her hand, having been formed by the very earth itself for hundreds of years, wanting to shift and move to her energy. Crystals, unlike rocks, seemed more ready to take in her chakra and manifest to her whim. Soon the crystal grew in shape, forming spidery tendrils that criss-crossed over her palm and fingers. It was as if her chakra were using the crystal as a solid medium through which to manifest around her hand. It continued to grow and grow, and Kimyona watched on with fascination.

Valerys stopped for a second, the strain becoming too much for her, and looked at her hands semi-covered in the crystal. She took in a couple of deep breathes and pushed as much of her energy there as she could, making it grow a second time over -- filling in the gaps that she had left. Suddenly her hands were fully formed with the crystal creations, and she flexed her fingers hearing the shink, shink of the crystals at her fingertips. "This is true power," Valerys said as she stared at her hands and thought about all the benefits. She lunged forward and hit at a wall, doing no actual attacks but still making a decent sized hit. "That's how it is done," Kimyona said and looked at her hands, inspecting the form to make sure that she had done it completely right. When he was satisfied, he told Valerys to hit the wall again -- just to make sure that she had done the best job possible with her Crystal Hands.
