Let's see...

Short one this time. Some of you'll have seen the manadrives in use on the last mission.

They're from my homeworld, but anyone can buy them. They're tech. Designed for humans to use magic, or something close. [ She glances away, mouth pursed to remember her lines. ] So far we've got gravity control, curative magic, and synergy. Uh, enhancement magic. Few of you have bought your own, and they're working well so far.

If anyone else wants to buy one, give themselves more options in a fight, I'm in the gym until platform. Come try 'em out, see which suits you. ... Right, and they're twenty-five points.

[ Ugh, she feels like a saleswoman for PSICOM. ]

Oh, and... to red team: we're having a meeting later this week, when everything's settled down.

Set the dial, wait, and aim.

[ Thanatos repeats. He turns the dial to Esuna and watches as the bands of light glow one after the other. Then he holds out his hand towards the training dummy. He waits to see what happens. ]

[enthunder]

[ The purple energy of the synthesised Esuna is gathering within the hood of the manadrive, but Light is content to watch it gather. After all, if these drives could be overcharged, they'd have been counted as weapons. It's entirely safe. ] It's waiting for a movement from you. Try 'throwing' it.

[controlsthedie]

Throw? That seems tedious.

[ Thanatos starts to fumble with the straps holding the manadrive to his arm.

She might want to clarify, though to be fair, he's from a world where throwing a shield like a discus is a perfectly valid form of attack. ]

[enthunder]

Uh-- [ She reaches to stop him, hand resting on his elbow and pulling back to briefly prevent further undoing of straps. ] Not the drive. The spell. Just pretend you're throwing a ball.

... Lightly.

[controlsthedie]

[ Thanatos puts his hand near the glow and feels it leave the device to sit in his palm. He studies how it feels before closing his fingers around it. With a spin, he tosses towards the target dummy. ]

Like that?
