( Here it is, in the evening after platform is now behind them, and Wei Wuxian is... reaching out. To all y'all. )

To those who offered to help with running illusion training, I've drafted a schedule to run through for a first session. Miss Spider, I'm more than happy to come to you! Curufin Fëanorion, Young Hero Casper, Caleb Widogast, Zewu-jun, Wen Sizhui, you make up the rest if you'd like to come to me, though Casper I know we're still seeing how it'd work.

( Then he claps his hands and smiles at the camera. )

To everyone else, we'll be using half the training gym on Merriment Three from morning to mid-day for people wanting to continue or begin training in illusion recognition and breakthrough. It's about time for another mission to end up falling into our laps, so best prepare as we can, ah?

( Lowering his hands, he only pauses to again shake a finger at the screen: )

There are also eleven extra pendants in illusion resistance I had made from people's donated extra crystals! If you'd like to borrow one for training purposes or mission, ask myself or your Team Lead. No promises on effectiveness as of yet, but they may help.

( Cheery wave and then off goes the camera!

ooc: Given how much will be going on wrt mission coming up, at present I'm not planning to put this particular training log up and would say handwave it: this is likely to be ongoing if Wei Wuxian has his way, so future sessions (probably in non-mission months OOCly) will have logs! )

The latter.

Crystals are a benefit to increasing your resistance to the type of illusion that each crystal addressed, so—environmental ones relying on your enduring what isn't there, the ones which disguise or present as real aspects of your environment around you which must be navigated, the ones which rely on your heart's desires, and the ones which prey on your fears. How much help each one provides is what we don't know, and the monks indicated it was a greater help to the people who were granted a crystal for passing the trials themselves. Yet any crystal helps versus having none at all, to some degree. It'd be convenient to see if we could amplify their abilities, if it's even possible, but we don't presently have the time, and any tinkering I've done to this point hasn't had any visible effect I know of.

You still have any that require testing, or a test subject? I don't have extra mental abilities, so it's possible to see how it would work on someone without.

[weifinder]

I do, any of the full pendants need testing for alternate users, and since this is our first time running people through exercises, people willing to try them and offer feedback is wanted and welcomed.

[soldier_blade]

In that case, consider me a willing subject. That one mission with the mental projections might be one of the more benign ones for all we know, and the more of us able to resist the better.

[weifinder]

Agreed on that count, and so, I'll look forward to seeing you there!
