The general rule for future feather magicians is always to use self found feathers rather then bought ones. A shop cannot substitute a walk in nature, or the joy when the wanted feather is finally found. Feathers are often used to focus concentration in spells. Feathers used for magical undertakings are mainly determined by the energy, which is brought into the feather by the magician themselves, through concentration and thought. Beside from the energy the magician brings into the object, feathers hold certain natural abilities.
