When Qaerris chose his discipline, or at least expressed interest in Illusionism, Ellasin nodded. "Illusionism is more complex than Gravitation, but not nearly as resource intensive as Necromancy. It has a great many possible applications, but don't expect to get much out of it starting off." Ellasin said as they left the forest, the walls of Ivorian ahead of them. "Leave the rest of your questions unsaid for now though. What I will teach you is largely a secret." she said quietly as they headed back to the city.
Ellasin remained silent until they returned to the inn, where she led the way to her room. Her pet raven cawing a greeting at her. "Yes, hello, Corby." she said, motioning for Qaerris to shut the door behind him before she went over to her trunk. Unlocking the latch, Ellasin opened the trunk and pushed a small button on the inside of the trunk before closing it again and pressing on the side of the lid. The very top of the trunk moved and the sorceress lifted the cover off, revealing a small collection of rings, earrings, necklaces and even a few buckles. Looking up at Qaerris, she looked down at her collection of Conduits and picked out a few Illusionsims Conduits, setting them on the table. A ring, an earring, a necklace, and a buckle, one of each type.
"These are Conduits," Ellasin said, gesturing at her collection, "the artifacts that allow for the manipulation of mana into spells. Without these, there is no Arcana, no magic, beyond the most basic discipline of Attunement. And there's not really that much you can do with Attunement on it's own." she said, before taking off her cloak and sitting down on her bed, gesturing to the four Conduits she had set on the table. "So pick yours, Qaerris."
