Hmm, I suppose I could congeal the water in the air into a slope of ice and make a swift getaway..... and then Sul would make a wall of rock and I'd run straight into it..... ow

Thats why you go with guns. They're nice and simple. You aim, you pull the trigger, you reload, and you hope someone really big will be nice enough to say in front of you so you don't die.

That, and guns are multi-taskers!

Thx, man! I'll have a bow for ranged fighting, if that's alright. A short bow, nothing crazy.

I love the flexibility of effluent magic like this. As long as you stay in your profile you're fine. It's spectacular! I can do just about anything! ...... Then Ecurt stabs me repeatedly through the heart with a ladle

Does anyone else think it's odd that a bunch of teenagers are about to graduate from a school that teaches advanced combat magic...

1.Ecurt - Earth - Fist fighting and Earth Magic
2.Celesjessa - Water - Balanced out many forms of Water Magic
3.IHMN - Fire - Beats down the other guy
4.Krylo - Wind - Quick fencing
5.Veiwitful - Fire - Guy with big sword, can stop weak spells that are about to hit him
6.Biran - Lightning - Lightning magic
7.Rhuheal - Water - Attacking water magic and defensive style fighting with gun staff
8.Stover - Wind - Riflemen
9.Ranger - Lightning - Staff fighter (May be electric staff) who carries a bow
10.Forever - Fire - Burns things with big spells

(More accurate list)

Edit - My guy is 20, and he isn't even in the school... He's a janitor.

No. Why?

Edit: To Forever.

Ahem. One few things to clear up one last time.

Sul: The world.
Taez Academy: Where you guys are. Trains you guys.
Tomoe: The Eternal Guardian.
Kal: The Devil Man.
Vera Stone: When complete, supposedly gives the power of a god.
Vera Fragments: Fragments of the one and ONLY Vera Stone, each have an element. All higly protected (except Fire, which has been stolen)
Level: Hierarchy of the Academy. They are Novice, Adept, Advanced, Mentor, and Master
Guns: Cannot be charged up by magic (in case you didn't know, but it's already been mentioned)
Omake: Should we have one for this too? I'll post it up after a chapter or two if you think we should.

When you say that guns cannot be "charged up," does that exclude things like enchantments on the rifle so it can stand up to more punishment without breaking?

Is it fair to say that beginners with water magic shouldn't be able to use ice? (as efficiently, at least)

And we're not ALL going to be able to cast the magic we have affinity to, right? Just the mages. (I think I understood this right. ^^; )
