@Sedjwick no teachers. Other than that, feel free to apply
I was thinking of being a student anyway. A few questions first, though. First, could you explain what Aetherial is? It's not very descriptive. Sorry if someone else has asked this before, but I don't want to go sifting through 100+ pages of OOC to find the answer if it is there.
Second, would gravity and/or magnetism be possibilities for sub-elements?
Thirdly, and I understand this might be a long-shot since you don't know me, but would it be possible for my character to be able to use darkness? As I see it, darkness cannot be inherently evil, and it would be interesting to see how someone who is genuinely good would have to deal with the stigma of being able to control the darkness.
