spells if there isn’t enough of the One Power’s river energy to tap into. The void has a tendency to leach a wizard’s energy while he is casting. It is almost like the Void is trying to reclaim the missing energy back into the planet.
Kerwyn started to channel the energy of the One Power and concentrated it into a single point of power. He glanced above the little bubbling brook by the edge of their property; breaking his concentration for just a moment, he saw a firefly flashing its little light in the distance.
He waved his hands and spoke the magical word of power “Luminarium!” and a blast of energy rushed from his open hands. The air shimmed and began to fold in on itself in such a way that time and space became one. In that instant there was an explosion of sound and light and right there, where Kerwyn was focusing all of his energy, now buzzed five hundred fireflies. Each one flickering and blinking, they hovered in a tightly formed group roughly the shape and size of a three-foot diameter ball.
Master Sernett sighed and shook his head before he spoke.
“Kerwyn you did well, but you didn’t focus your mind on a ball of pure light. Why did you think of fireflies? Yes they give off light, and they seem to be following your will, but a ball of pure white light would be of better use when one needs to see in the dark.”
“I’m sorry master I didn’t mean to summon fireflies. I saw one over by the brook and must have thought about fireflies.” Kerwyn’s face turned scarlet.
“Kerwyn, you really need to keep focused on what you are doing! One of these days you’re going to cast something that you don’t want and it’s going to end up hurting someone by accident.” Master Sernett exhaled and drew in a breath slowly, to calm himself.
“I know master. I’ll try harder, I promise.” Kerwyn stated in a small voice, upset that he had disappointed his master, yet again for the day.
“Alright Kerwyn, release those fireflies and let’s try it again.” Master Sernett tried to calm his voice to put Kerwyn at ease. Kerwyn released his will over the fireflies and watched them scatter across the sky looking for a nice place to hide.
Master Sernett put his hand on Kerwyn’s shoulder and said, “Kerwyn this time I want you to concentrate on a ball of pure bright light and then focus really hard on the spell you want to cast. Once you have that firmly in your mind, draw in the One Power slowly and keep control of it until you’re ready cast your spell.”
Again Kerwyn opened up his mind to the flows of floating energy that was surrounding him and as soon as he did, the energy of the One Power rushed in and filled him with a sense of unlimited power. He focused his mind on a ball of pure white light the way his Master had told him to. He then waved his hands and spoke the word of power again; “Luminarium!” he again felt that familiar rush of energy.
There was a sudden and intense blinding explosion that threw Kerwyn and his master several feet to the ground. Above them hovering three feet above the ground was a ball of the brightest and purest white light the world had ever seen. It was approximately four feet wide and it pulsed with the pure force of the One Powers energy.
“Kerwyn tone it down my boy, or you’ll blind the both of us!” exclaimed Master Sernett, surprised that Kerwyn not only succeeded with what he was told to do, but that he had done it better then he had ever seen it done by anyone.
Kerwyn concentrated his will towards the brilliant glowing ball of light and gradually the light’s intensity dimmed enough so it no longer hurt the eyes to look at it. Blinking rapidly and rubbing his eyes, Kerwyn quickly looked over at his master and saw the biggest smile on his Master’s now red sun burnt face.
“Kerwyn my boy you did it! Not only did you do it, but what a light. I think I’m going to have spots in front of my eyes for the next couple of weeks. Plus I’m going to have
