Hmm... *Thinks for a moment and the two move back towards each other but pass each other again*

@DarkwolfX37

Keep at it, and let me know if you feel you are having trouble with anything.

*Tries but they pass each other*

@DarkwolfX37

That's okay. Keep working on it. The transformation to completely remove any field lines from a certain direction is a different beast, because it means imagining something of a completely different reason. But you can get very, very close and keep the two electrons stuck there.

Hmm... *Takes a few minutes to think then tries again, causing the field to change significantly*

@DarkwolfX37

*Claps my hands* Lovely! Now keep it stuck on the space and try pushing the electrons together now.

But what am I supposed to imagine?

@DarkwolfX37

Exactly what you just imagined! The world being different so that the field lines are different. You know in an intuitive manner why the field flows as it does. That intuition can be made as strong as any memory of sight or sound or smell or touch. You imagined, a little bit ago, how the "why" of the field could be different so that the field would flow differently. That's what you imagine, and that's what you overlay on reality.

Hmm... Okay. I think I can just... *The field changes slightly*

@DarkwolfX37

Oh! Good, you’re already starting to affect reality a little bit. The full transformation is a similar tactic to what you just did. What you need to do is take that image you’ve formed and overlay it onto the world—that is, put it into your real Realmatic vision, all at once, with confidence.

Mhm.

@DarkwolfX37

Knowing that, try to use your mind’s eye—your mind’s Realmatic eye, like your mind’s ear for hearing—to imagine what reason the field might actually flow in a different direction than it currently does for these two electrons.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Mm... I think so?

@DarkwolfX37

Now, you should also, by your sense, be able to understand why the Field direction is the way it is—why it curves in such and such a way, what rule and what laws govern its movement.

*Continues trying different things for a few days*

@DarkwolfX37

*Gives you various combinations of particles to work with, some with attraction or repulsion, some with kinetic energy already; as you practice, you gain a growingly accurate numerical sense for movements and your pushes and pulls* You see it takes you non-negligible energy to overcome attraction and repulsion. Your first transformation will be about easing those movements by manipulating fields. *Two electrons appear, held stationary* Can you sense the field between them, and its direction?

*Pulls my hands towards my stomach* Whoosh! *Pushes them forward and the cluster bounces around in short paths in random directions for a few seconds before stopping* Hey, wait a minute! I didn't say to stop! *Grunts in concentration and focuses, the ball begins moving upwards*

@DarkwolfX37

Good! With practice, you can learn to identify the positions on your body from which you push and pull and you can learn to calculate how to make specific paths, such as perfect circles. But it’s a very important skill to be able to feel your way into most movements. Keep practicing and we’ll be able to move on soon.
