"Very good minds we have in this class! Yes, we have uncovered another weakness to these objects. The angreal and sa'angreal will enhance your power ten, even a hundred fold, but it will also wear you out to that extent as well. So it is very dangerous to your well being to wield that much power at once and expend that much energy."

It'd be fun though... thought Kire with a grin. Imagine what someone could do with one of those..

Jeshon looked slightly annoyed at the affirmative to Snowbird's question. That sucked; magic always had some sort of price to pay. To get his mind off of that drawback, he focused on how adorable Snowbird looked, even from behind, when she was blushing.

Kale hadn't heard much he didn't want to. He was still trying to figure out a plan to pierce that odd barrier that the teacher had set...
==============================================================================================================
"Now, these objects are so rare and dangerous, that is only a very few who ever come in contact with them in their lifetimes, let alone get to use them.." Minate walked back over to the front of the desk, his hand reaching out to each in turn, hovering slightly over each, just outside of the barrier.
"But, I feel that one understands better to experience than to hear..." His hand reached down, piercing through the barrier with ease. Or, more correctly, the barrier bent and twisted around where his hand reached, reforming as he brought out the little fat man with the sword. The angreal.
"Now, this angreal is weak, and only works fully for men. It will work for women, but only half of what it will for the men. That is to say, the men will experience up to four times their normal potential, while the women will only recieve about twice. I apologize for the discrimination, but most of the women's angreal are currently employed by Wielders."
"You will channel a small amount of spirit into the figurine and then draw as much power as you safely can. You must not release any of it, or I will cut you off from the Source completely and you will forfeit your chances in the future for these types of demonstrations."
==============================================================================================================
Kale had heard that. This teacher was a quack, but sometimes it worked to his advantage. A chance to multiply his power.. He could probably overpower the teacher with that much power in him..

Tai and Snowbird looked at each other with excitment, but a little bit of unease was felt as well. They knew what these things could do.
Jeshon grinned. This would be fun.

"Kire" Minate turned to address the student who was originally assigned his aid for the initial testing.
"You've never had the chance, have you? Would you like to be first?"
==============================================================================================================
Kale cursed the elder student. Minate always seemed to favor him.

Jeshon turned to Kire, jabbing him lightly in the side with his elbow. "Lucky."

"Alright," he said in that tone that implied 'I have no idea what I'm doing.' He rose from his seat and moved toward the instructor. What's the worst that could happen? he asked himself, trying to boost his own confidence. He approached Minate, and gave him a look that said 'okay.. i lost what it was I'm supposed to remember.. now what?'

Libby watched intently. She wanted to see exactly how you used these for futer reference. If she ever found one, and she was going to casually look for them when she was out of school, she wanted to know how to use them. Her hand shot up. "Excuse me professor. But if they are so rare could maybe we all have a chance to touch it? You would be the cooles teacher ever if you would let us!" She had her largest grin on and her eyes were sparkling.
Kimmy looked up from her drawing. She didn't really know what had just happened but she went on with it. "Yeah. Please?"

"Yes, yes, no worries, girls. You will all get a chance to use it, in turn."
Minate held out the angreal with one hand, a reassuring smile adorned for Kire's sake.
"Now, just place a hand on the statue and ebb a small amount of spirit into the object. Then draw as much power as you can hold, without the intent to use any of it. Sort of like, taking the deepest breath you can, and then holding in. Be careful, though, you might want to take it slowly."

Kire looked at Minate, strengthening his resolve and taking a gulp. Slowly, as if he were going to touch a hot stove, Kire hesitantly reached toward the little idol. As he touched it, he felt a sharp tingle, and almost drew back. But as soon as it came, it left, replaced with a feeling of warmth and freeflowing energy. He began to concentrate, drawing in power. It was like trying to drink water from a firegose, or trying to chug a soda. It all came so suddenly, so quickly that he had trouble to contain himself. His eyes brightened and he did, indeed, take a breath in. it was quite a rush.

Jeshon sat on the edge of his seat, watching the effects the little thing had on his friend. Wow, did it look cool.

"Very nice. You have very strong potential." Minate nodded approval to the pupil.
"Now, let it all drain away, like putting water back into the well.."

He didn't want to.. It was like learning to drive a really fast car, then getting told to get out 15 seconds into the drive. He hadn't even gotten to experiment with it.. He gave Minate another look, then begrudgingly siphoned the energy out of himself again. He felt light, and slow in comparison. "That felt so... indescribable.." he remarked after he realized he'd been staring at it for about ten seconds.

"Yes, it's quite the euphoria the first time you experience it. You did very well to resist the lure of so much power. Now, think, that was only roughly four times your normal strength. A sa'angreal allows you to hold nearly a hundred times your own strength. With that much power, you feel as though you could do anything. And, in that, lies the greatest danger." He dismissed the lad with a pat on his shoulder and an approving nod.
"Now, who's next?"
==============================================================================================================
Kale was never one to raise his hand in any class for anyone, but this was something he desperately wanted to try. His hand shot up immediately when prompted.
