Timestamp: 65th of Autumn 513AV Faryon slowly walked to the library that graced the Sanctuary. It wasn't as versed as the one in Riverfall but it seemed to have a nice variety none the less and alot easier to navigate. Kavala had stated when she first arrives her all employees must be well rounded in various forms of fighting and magic and in the conversation she had mentioned an interest in shielding. She knew bare to nothing of the subject but it was the first magic to come to mind that was mostly a defensive art rather than offensive. However Faryon was pretty sure if used with some other form of magic it could be used as such but at the moment she would like to live in denial and live in her little peaceful world in her head. Kavala had mentioned there was a book on the subject and with some light reading she hoped to gain a better understanding what the teen was getting herself into. For what she did know of the craft that it was fairly easy to pick up just a matter of expelling djed to form the shields. How one did that, Faryon was hoping this book could explain further. The Drykas reached the library in no time and was secretly proud of herself for making it there without second guessing herself. As she was coming to find out, since coming her that she had horrible sense of direction. Stepping into the familiar space, it also didnt take long to locate the book she was searching for, Shielding- Beginning and Advanced Techniques. Faryon sat down at the little desk and opened up her journal of sorts to a new page. She had used it before to copy a few entries from a Herbalism book and now she planned to jot down a few pointers about shielding. The book creaked some from lack of use. The penmanship was slightly elegant and clear to read. The teen figured out a while back that the books were copies from the library in Riverfall but either way what ever worked right? Okay first to find out what shielding is exactly Faryon thought to herself. The teen read through the introduction, only pausing to write a quick note or two in her journal.
Easy enough to understand but Faryon knew it was easier said than done and was probably going to take her a few chimes to conjure up some djed to perform the task. The next section was about the history of shielding and wasn't something the Drykas was particularly interested in reading at the moment, maybe some time later but right now she wanted the basics. Creating shields and tasking them was the next chapter and looked to be several pages thick. Here we go exactly what I need. Faryon eagerly started reading, deciding to read over the chapter first then go back in taking notes then that way she could make sure she understood what she just read. In her excitement, Faryon constantly had to keep reminding herself to slow down so she could fully absorb the information, in which she ended up rereading several paragraphs over again. It took about a bell to finish the chapter a second time through but it helped the teen to understand further. Turning her attention back to her journal, Faryon tried to summarize the chapter as best as she could.
