Casey listened with rapt attention. Five threads - fire, water, air, earth, and spirit - all combined in different ways to make different effects. She could see the threads the Juls wove and she once again saw how air and fire came together to make light. Casey didn't start there though. She started trying to separate the threads first.
As she looked in her power, she could find them, and began to touch each one separately. She didn't pull, merely probed, and found that two seemed familiar to her. She grabbed one and channeled the thread. It was the one Juls had called air. She then went to the other, and found it was the one called spirit.
"Those two feel familiar," she said, looking at the threads themselves. "I think I've used these two before."
She then went to the other three. Out of those three, some seemed the easiest to grab. She pulled on it and found it was water. Then she tried another. The other two were harder to grab. Fire in particular was difficult for her. Casey knew how to practice. She had spent a lifetime learning how to practice musical skills. She could apply that here. Fire and earth would need more practice than the others. Thankfully she had an excuse to work on fire right now.
"Fire and earth seem hard to use," she gritted her teeth as she reached for fire while the spirit came easily. "I can't explain why...it's just different."
It took some moments for her to grab the fire thread and she began to weave it with the spirit as Juls had done. She followed Juls advice and made it big so she could see it, then pulled it together tight until she had a glowing orb in front of her. Casey smiled at that. It probably wasn't a big deal at all, but she knew the little victories were just as important and the small ones.
"I wish I could bottle this up and take it home. Not the light in general. This specific one," she said with a smirk. She turned to Cadence. "What can you do with it."
Cadence smiled. "Turns out I'm a gifted healer."
Casey nodded and turned to Juls. "What can you do?"
