Magical Theory and Practice, Friday, Period 3
Today's workshop was being held in a classroom. There was a hot Renaissance Faire goth standing at the front of the classroom when the students arrived, and when they sat down they would notice that each of them had a flower and a rock sitting on their desk. "Good afternoon," Yennefer said to her students. "I am Yennefer of Vengerberg, and this is..." She glanced at her notes, and then looked again. "Magical Theory and Practice. Bit of a joke in the class description, I see." Or was it? "Well, we might get to that. We'll see how it goes. For now, I will tell you that while I am new to instruction, I am a sorceress trained in the school of Aretuza, and have been an advisor to the king of Aedirn for thirty years." Yep, she was older than she looked.
"Being as we all come from different realities here, I expect we also come from different magical traditions, and that sticking too closely to what I was taught might be completely useless to you, but I believe that in broad strokes much of that information continues to be true, based on the fact that I have been able to do magic since I got here, so I will teach you starting from that foundation. First, I would like to know what I am working with. Everyone will please tell me their name, so I can check them off this list, and what their experience level is with magic, and a little of how they know it to work, and then we're going to do a little exercise. Any questions so far? No? Good."

Re: Lift the Rock!
All of her non-magic magic-based abilities were meant for combat, and so the idea of using them merely to lift a rock proved quite the conundrum. If she were fighting the rock, this problem would hardly be a problem at all! But to merely lift it?
Well. Yennifer did not seem to say anything about how long it needed to be lifted, and so, nodding to herself in conclusion, Freya summoned up a little of her power to cast Reis's Wind, which created a small swirl of green-blue energy around the rock just enough to lift it up for a moment...
...and give it the ability to regenerate health on a consistent basis for the remainder of the class.

Re: Lift the Rock!
"Find out exactly why it was so important that this rock be lifted for an extended period of time without physical contact," she ventured, "and then work from there, perhaps."
Which was to say, no. No she did not.
But you can bet she'd be thinking about it all week now!
