"Congratulations," the master whispered, her lips forming a sweet smile. "You have been successfully unbound. And you've been asleep for quite a while. I've gathered flowers."
Resting next to Rayra were flowers freshly plucked from their flower bed. Rayra closed her eyes, entered Clara, and then performed a spell to manipulate the air around them, making the flowers dance, providing a beautifully soothing backdrop for Ci'aran.
"Now what you are unbound, you will be able to reach Clara, where your eyes will be open to the astral plane. Your next task is to meditate Ci'aran. For an initiate, it will take five to ten minutes to meditate successfully to reach Clara. As an initiate, casting a spell I suggest should not be for immediate measures against an enemy. By the time you are ready to cast a spell, your enemy will have long since struck you with his/her attack. Forgive me if I am assuming you will need to use elementalism to protect yourself against enemies, it is just an example." Rayra smiled again.
"Now once you have reached clara, in the astral plane, all time stops for you until you return to this plane, the material plane. You will be able to mix ara with your vis. Ara is all around us. Vis is within all of us. You mix enough ara and vis to focus on the essence plane, to mix in elemental essence with the mixed ara and vis. Then you channel this mana into the material plane and shape it into a spell I will impart to you. For now this is confusing but I will explain further-- you will see once you are in clara. So your task at hand is to learn to meditate, to clear your mind completely and embrace the astral plane. Are you ready?"
