Magic and Mystical: Interviews

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Nothing felt quite so good as to have a project on its way. If this one features slightly less graphical and arbitrary annihilation of all sense and reason to the universe so that his will and desires may stand paramount in all creation, it's no less important or relevant for all that.

Aibghalien has set aside a few of what appear to be practice areas for interviews and assessments, hoping these are large enough to use for any demonstrations necessary. If not, the courtyard outside allows plenty of space for particularly pyrotechnical displays.

[OOC: Those willing to help interview may start their own threads for people to comment on (but Abby would like to get your own lists!) If your character would have come, but you aren't able to thread it out for any reason, just put the information in the Handwaved thread for later compilation.]

"Not at all." Cedric took a deep breath, bracing himself for combat. He'd been trained to blast his way through small threats, but this was different.

He instinctively stepped back, weaving a quick charm over himself before beginning. A wave of his wand sent a stream of sharp arrows as his first attack. If that didn't work, he had a slash of flame to help move things along, which he cast right after.

Conjuring arrows? That had interesting implications, the first of which is that working with a more martial combatant was rare or unknown on their world. The orcish army reacted appropriately for a moment, clutching at injuries or shielding themselves from the flame, before he dismissed the illusion with a wave of his hand.

"Interesting. I think I've learned a great deal. Is there anything else you'd like to demonstrate, or any questions or such that you'd like to ask?"

That was it? Cedric stepped over to the side slightly awkwardly. Was he allowed to eat now?

"Just one, sir. Do I pass?"

He felt like he had covered this before... but then, he had a history of being unclear. Probably his own fault.

"Having some sort of ability applicable to the department is the only criterion for joining, and you certainly have that. You're more than welcome to join."
