[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 2253377, member: 10948"] "Since you already have some ability with the Force, it would be wise to learn skills to complement your ability. As I'm sure you know, drawing upon the Force is draining. To rely on it too much when other methods would suffice is wasteful. Besides, there are times when a blade would be more useful." The stone dodged back and forth, evading each of Kia's strikes. Although this was due more to Miera's manipulation of the stone than pure inability on Kia's part, it was still frustrating. Little by little, each of her strikes became more precise than the last. After fifteen minutes of this, Kia was just about to burst with frustration when her blade finally caught the stone and clove it neatly in half. "Very good Kia, you are learning quickly. You seem to have grasped some of the fundamentals of wielding a lightsaber." Miera smiled. "Wield the lightsaber itself, not the blade you see. Because the blade is immaterial, it can be disorienting to use, but eventually you will find that intangibility to be to your advantage. This may not take as long as I had thought, though it will still be some time before you are fully proficient with your blade." "Miera is right, you are a fast learner, Kia." Arias nodded, and looked about. "Now that we have eaten and this bought of practice is concluded, we should see to your ship. Has anyone seen Nikama, or Aasan for that matter?" "Master Arias, I think they went over to Nikama's workshop to look at something." Adrial spoke up. OOC - Kia's non-proficiency penalty with a lightsaber is reduced from -4 to -3. [/QUOTE]
