Vali squinted. Sounds like Daemonic magic. "What is the source of this control difficulty? My understanding was that a thorough and accurate imagination is required for quality casting, but it appears that this shadow magic is a different beast entirely."

"Pray tell, what is the risk?"

Vali cocked her head. "How do you summon shadow magic? The basics, I fear, elude me."

Vali sighed and flicked her wrist. Dirt and gravel tumbled into the crater. "Well, I find it hard to imagine what else could possibly happen when casting dangerous magic. It is always an explosion. Somehow, magic has this unfortunate tendency to follow laboratory cliches. Anyway, mind telling me how you did that?"

Vali just finished unpacking her things when she heard an explosion outside the dorm.

"What the-" She leaned on the windowsil and strained against the glass. "No. Way. Are people blowing this place up already? Without me?" Vali flung on her magic-resistant longcoat and strode out. She wanted to run, hurry, but it would be most unladylike.

Only if I get caught.

She looked both ways and broke out into a sprint toward the courtyard to find Jonathan gazing approvingly upon the destruction he'd wrought.

Vali folded her arms.

"Hmph. Did you do that?" she called out to him.

Goddess Battle (It's fair! Don't worry!)

Sounds a little like a character I created. What are her powers?

"Very well!"

As they walked to the women's dorms, Vali returned to his side and once again tried to strike up a conversation. "Is this your first time at the Magic School too? What courses are you taking?"

Determining intentions by touch alone is crazy broken. Hidden intentions and secret plans are the meat and potatoes of good stories; the ability to see them with something as simple and easy as a touch thoroughly declaws them. I don't recommend giving him that kind of power.

Besides, Vali is only an antagonist, not a villain. Becoming her "minion" is not the worst thing that could happen. In fact, it opens up several interesting story possibilities on its own. Don't be so scared of losing to the antagonist that you lock yourself out of fun story material. :)

@digichiptune There's no way Jonathan would have learned Vali's intentions from what she's done so far. At best, he might be suspicious that a cute girl is paying him so much attention - at best.

Additionally, I've established her as something of an antagonist. De-clawing her plays makes your character weak.

Just a few tips to consider.

Vali looked like a deer in the headlights.

The rule against gender mixing on dorms threw her scheme into disarray. She's been planning to make him coffee or tea, flirt a little, and then BAM! Instant minion! If she knew the layout of the campus, she might have made a counter-offer to take him out to coffee in a more neutral place. Learning the layout would prove essential to victory, and at this rate, using it as a bonding tool would have to take second place on her priority list.

Perhaps she could salvage it by making the most of the walking time between dorms.

"Fine then. Could you then just deposit your things and show me to the women's dorms? I cannot find my way there on my own."
