"I assume they want to do things the right way or they wouldn't be taking classes."

He shrugs. "They still do it the wrong way a lot."

Permalink

"Why?"

Permalink

"I think because they don't take me seriously or try hard."

Permalink

"...So being bossy isn't making them take you seriously very effectively, is it?"

Permalink

"No, when I'm more demanding they do better."

Permalink

"But it's not making it so they do it on their own."

Permalink

"I don't know how to do that."

Permalink

"I don't either. I bet there's a way but I'm not sure what it would be. Maybe it'll happen when people have had more than one class with you or something."

Permalink

"Maybe they need necklaces."

Permalink

"...Well. That's not really feasible."

Permalink

"I know it's not."

Permalink

"We can put clocks in the rooms, that might help."

Permalink

"Oooh! Yes, let's."

Permalink

So they make clocks and put them up in the rooms in the school.

This doesn't make Fëanáro less commandeering. It does seem to help students a bit.

Permalink

Well, she's not sure what else to try on Fëanáro's teaching style. It is hardly the worst teaching style she has ever met.

Permalink

He may grow out of it. He is growing, though very slowly.

Permalink

And much as he hopes to mature by brute intellectual force she is not yet convinced that this can be the only ingredient in his entire adulthood.

The next time magic class sessions start, Nerdanel and her little sister are present!

Permalink

Great! Bella likes to start off class sessions by finding out what everybody wants to learn to do.

Permalink

Nerdanel would like to learn spell design for a variety of spells with artistic and workshop and craft and mining purposes. Her sister would like to fly.

Permalink

Worthy ambitions. She assigns cantrips accordingly.

Permalink

The Eldar improve at magic much slower than Bella did, or remembers her classmates doing. Perhaps it's partially that they sleep less.

Permalink

It's probably that they sleep less. She mentions the tradeoffs involved and doesn't otherwise interfere; you can get a ways on a few low-powered spells per day for a while.
