Elemental Affinity and Beginning Training

After chasing Daedalus for a few hours Gram finally caught him saying "That's some good stamina. Ok now we will check your elemental affinities."

As he says that Gram takes Daedalus over beside the lake again and begins explaining the elements and how they work with magic.

"So Daedalus, an elemental affinity is one of the most important thing in magic after control of emotions. So listen carefully!" Gram says while looking carefully at Daedalus.

Daedalus quickly began nodding his head and Gram continued "Ok so, the elements consist of fire, earth, water, wind, metal and wood. Each element can be related to an emotion though I myself don't really care, but for example fire and anger. Either way your affinity is quite often based off of your own personality so a calm person would likely have affinities with water, wind or wood as their main affinity. A person who is mentally tough or resilient to mental attacks would likely have an earth or metal affinity as their main affinity. Your affinities can also be affected by what you like to do so a blacksmith might have fire, earth or metal as their main affinity because they are always around those elements. This can also be seen in races, for example dwarves have an innately higher affinity for earth and metal but also fire as there have been more dwarven smiths in the world than any other race. So let me test your affinities and then we can continue with training." As he says the last part Gram begins smiling again. Ignoring Grams expression Daedalus says in defeat "Ok, just get it over with." as he stands up.

Gram standing up as well waves his hand as a crystal ball although smaller than the last one was still quite large, before saying casually "Just put your hand on it, like the last time except less exploding please."

Daedalus though hesitatingly put his hand against the cold, smooth hard surface of the crystal. Suddenly the crystal began to shine in a myriad of colours that rotated in a beautiful lotus pattern. Gram seeing this became shocked before saying "My god you have the Myriad Lotus affinity an affinity that contains all elements at the same level and rotate in a synchronised lotus pattern. Ok let's start the tortu I mean training now." With a magnificent smile causing Daedalus to not know whether to laugh or cry.

Arriving at the schools training grounds Gram grabs four 8kg weights before walking over to Daedalus and saying "Ok now put these on your wrists and ankles we will be going for a run." Daedalus hearing this hesitated for a second before quickly putting on both sets of weights.

Gram looking at Daedalus "Okay let's get started." said before starting running towards the schools exit with Daedalus trying to keep up although with a lot of difficulty. Reaching up to where Gram was Daedalus says "Teacher, why are we running, I thought I would be learning more about magic and how to use it?"

Hearing what Daedalus had said Gram looked at him with a serious look and said "To use magic to the best of your ability you need a strong body also if you want to use weapons like you said earlier, then it's even more important. So get running!"
