[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 2877935, member: 4441"] Shenystari [sblock] Opal will cheerfully loan you a copy of [u]Illuminating the Corners of the Mind[/u], one of Arden's first works in his teachings. The book contains a variety of meditation techniques that it claims help organize the mind and make information easier to retrieve. They are also supposed to help with keeping one calm, and allowing an objective outlook on a variety of perspectives. Several of these Shenystari recognizes as similar to ones the kalashtar learn as children. They are used when teaching so that the children can absorb a large amount of information in a small amount of time, then actually do the [i]learning[/i] of it later, through meditation, introspection, and discussion. What it might mean is that Arden's students might know more than they know, locked away in their minds until they're taught to retrieve it.[/sblock] Rayni: [sblock] The simplest way to render a Dragonmark inactive would be to keep an [i]antimagic field[/i] active on the bearer at all times. Granted such things would be expensive, but for confined individuals with dangerous abilities, the expense is worth it to their jailers. If you could find someone to make it for you, it would be many thousands of gold pieces, that's clear. However, it would prevent you from using any of your magical abilities, not just your dragonmark. There's another option, one that's only hinted at. "Dragonmarks have come from dragon blood and bone, and by their magic and might may they reclaim their kindred." Perhaps a dragon could help you.[/sblock] Tondrek: [sblock] The waitress looks a little startled, but looks at Sparky, who looks back at her innocently.
