[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7976682, member: 6801845"] I once had a player with a monk that thought he could run fast enough around the bad guy to cause a sandstorm tornado. I just told him he may be faster than anyone else in the party, but he wasn't The Flash. So all you can really do is gently remind her of the rules and her limitations, that she may master the elements one day but for right now she's just an apprentice. Remind her that Michelangelo didn't go from picking up a crayon to painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He was quite young when he created some amazing work but even he had to build up to it. Encourage and work with her to describe her spells as mastering the elements but she's just not ready to focus all that power into large scale effects just yet. The power is there and someday she will be worthy but for now she's sipping water out of a lake with a straw. Or maybe a swizzle stick. :) [/QUOTE]
