*goes back to waiting on his preferred magics of Summoning and Reimancy*

I love it! And I have to agree with Jason on the Summoning. I always wanted that to be Evalin's main discipline, but I am afraid I might have been doing a few things wrong in practice. So when you get the chance maybe a video on summoning, the mechanisms and now the actual summoning process works, straight from the horses mouth

Amazing video. Part 2 is going to be great also. I know it.

EDIT- Going back over everything said (from your Djed video to this one) I really like how you said that Djed is like the matrix code because that is how I thought about it really. Though my understanding of Auristics wasnt too deep, I find myself connecting the dots even now and making comparisons. If Djed is like code, then Auristics is a program that allows the wizard to 'view' the code. Often then the wizard is able to infer things about its form and function. Code is code and sometimes the wizard doesnt really understand what the {b} {/b} stuff is, only that it means, to the wizard, that their hair is dark. They then might use Auristics more/longer to be able to stare at the code for a longer amount of time and therefor be able to pick out more details/infer something about what they are seeing. The higher level the wizard is, the more experience they have had looking at the 'Djed Code', the easier it is for them to quickly find out basic things that they saw when they were novice/competent, and perhaps then this blossoms out into a deeper understanding of the code as a whole. Better understanding=easier inferred things=Can read more about/pick up more information about auras being looked at.

I loved this video. It reminds me that its not truly about the story or what you get from storytelling but its indeed about the gift you give to others. And wow, that fun fact of 8% really blew my mind. I'm glad you shared that.

Tarot, I loved that video, and actually, you've given me an idea for my next (or at least somewhere down the line) video.. possibly multiple installments. But yay for inspiring me! Also, I wholeheartedly agree about what you said about delivering feelings and all that. Storytelling is so much more than grading and development, and I love that you touched on that.

Excellent video Tarot. I hope to watch all your up and coming videos. This training seems very informative, interesting, and fun. Hopefully I can learn from it as well as all our excellent storytellers. Great job!

Fantastic! I love the way you describe the process of how you view storytelling. It's similar to the way I like to run my tabletop games, very character focused on developing their personal plots in combination with each other.

I look forward to the time I have time to get into a Tarot quest and I'm looking forward to your video on the structure of the quest.
