Fire Thread

The purpose of this lecture is to demonstrate some basic uses of the Fire thread of the One Power in a consistant manner such that our weaves will have some uniformity.

Heat - thin flows of fire used to warm up something. Until this weave is learned, the student eats his meals cold. An example:

Joe seizes Saidin and channels thin flows of fire into the basin of water. After a very brief moment, steam begins to rise from the bowl.

Flame - single thin flow of Fire with a twist or loop at the end to concentrate the flow enough to induce a visible flame. An example:

Joe holds out his hand, palm upwards, and channels a thin thread of fire tightly twisted at the end. A small flame suddenly springs into existance, dancing over his open hand.

Test - uses the flame from the previous example to determine if a man has the ability to channel. The subject must cooperate and concentrate on the visible flame hovering over the testers hand. If the subject can channel, after several moments the tester will feel something similar to an echo from the subject. An example:

Joe holds out his hand and channels, causing a small flame to dance over his open palm. He instructs Bob to concentrate on the flame and then cocks his head slightly as if listening for something. After several moments, he nods slightly and lets the flame wink out. He slowly lowers his hand to his side and says in a sad tone, "You can channel. May the Light protect you."

Ignite - insert flow of Fire into target, and use to cause target to burst into flames; weave can be practiced up to equivalent of firestorm code weave. An example:

Joe steps back from the fireplace and studies the wood stacked in it for a moment. He seizes Saidin and channels, spinning out a thick thread of Fire which he inserts into the largest log. He forces energy into the wood and watches with a smug smile as it bursts into flame.

As with any of the lessons, the student can request to have this taught to him if he feels the need for extra explanation or training. The Test weave is a special case in that if it is taught ICly, then the student will be set with the gskill. He can also obtain the skill at any time in this subrank by demonstrating to anyone with gskillset ability that he has a firm grasp on the weave.
