Through passion, I gain strength

1. [Seeing as there's pretty much no point hiding what she's been doing anymore, and motivated by Astara's visit, Seta has decided to continue her training with those fancy new powers she's got...in the open.

So, on a field just outside Alhambra, you might see her standing and doing nothing, with her hair all poofy. She's also twitching slightly every few seconds.]

I...almost have it...

[Placed about fifty feet away are a small group of dummies that, from the looks of it, are meant to be targets. They are completely untouched, unlike the grass around her, which is burnt to a crisp.]

Just a small correction...

Pardon me, but according to a trustworthy person on the phone, I have just won a million credits...

How may I claim my reward?

Perhaps using a medium to conduct it then? Running a charge through a wire or something like that could help, and it also keeps any other ground from potentially interdicting the shot.

I have tried some methods that would affect regular electricity, but this is...different.

Hmm... have you tried using something else or thinking in another way. I know in a lot of basic training they have to teach a soldier to consider the person across from them a real honest threat and enemy before they strike to hurt or kill. Most people just can't bring themselves to seriously fight unless they do that preferring instead to run away.

Perhaps imagine one of the targets is the dragon we fought and see if that helps?

I could try...

[She doesn't look too confident about it though.]

I think it'll work better than you think Seta. If anyone would have issues hurting a straw dummy out of kindness it would be you. That's a good thing in pretty much every other circumstance especially given just what you could really do but here it may be what's holding you back. Worst case we just get another light show, fluffier hair and we'll need to find a way to ground you fully so we don't burn out anything inside the base when we head back in.
