Clyde watched as Jason went through his magics. He used different ways, first using gestures, then switching to incantations, and back to gestures. Most people stuck to one or the other, though some used both, though not usually at the same time, which he had not either.
That was not really something that most did, as one thing was enough to help focus your magics, and did not need both to do so. In fact with most mages, if they tried to use both on there magics at once, it would possibly mess them up.
"Good, good, not bad for someone who just passed out from overgiving. Now we do not want to do to much at one time, you are still rather weak from the first one. We can do something small perhaps..."
"Now, do you only know fire, or can you control another element? If so, perhaps you can try combining them? Though only produce a small version of it, nothing big. I don't want to have to drag you back to the city." If you have wind, you can try at lightning, and if you have earth, you can make lava...
Showing him once more, Clyde extruded a small ball of gaseous res beween his hands, shaping it into a sphere and floating it there. Then, pointing it at the rock he hit earlier, he shaped it into a spike of res, and began to move it towards the rock. After it got moving at a decent pace, he transmuted it, freeing the lightning.
In a flash of light, followed by the boom of thunder, the tiny bolt of lightning flew at the rock, leaving a crack down the middle from the impact. A larger sized one would have obliterated the rock, leaving nothing but dust, but his was small enough to not do so.
It left the faint smell of burning in the air, from the leftovers of the lightning striking the air on its path to the rock.
