RoleChapter 17 My view on shapeshifting: A discussion with Alanathariella Added Sat Nov 27 11:56:35 2004 at level 15:| | I've been uneasy for some time with the teachings of | Alanathariella. It's not that I doubt her knowledge, you have only to | look into her eyes to see her success. It is her emphasis on formal | weavings, formulae and ordered patterns of magic that bother me. She | has us practicing standard weaving techniques over and over again. I | believe her orderly approach to magic will eventually limit us from | making the next leap forward in our craft. | Perhaps it's just the impetuous of youth, of the maiden, to doubt her, | but I feel it in my very soul. I may well be wrong, but I will never | truly know if I do not try. | | There are two main points on which we disagree. The first is that | I believe our animal forms come from within us and that this insistence | on a choice of focus is irrelevant. Of course, Alanathariella believes | this is nonsense, and says so every time I bring it up. | | The second and more important point is that I believe one needs to | embrace their animal instincts to better their weave. It is through | such an embrace that new insights into the weave itself can be gleaned. | This is why I think Alanathariella is holding us and to a lesser extent | herself back. By only studying the formal weavings, we will never gain | the next level of insight to better our weave and truly become one with | our inner beasts. She seems on the cusp of it, but I intend to try and | take it further. | | I do not know what forms will manifest within myself, in truth, it | does not matter as long as they are a true reflection of my inner | being, as I believe they will be. I fear there is nothing more I can | learn here. I will never find my first form in this place and under her | instruction. So I am leaving to seek myself in the woodlands. It is | only there that I will be able to release my first form from my being. | | Alanathariella herself wished me well, and bade me to return if I | grew tired of the wild woodlands. I am glad for that, but I wonder what | she will do when I return to the city one day and deprive her of the | services of the merchants and those guards that always looked askance | at me? |
