Mika and Alesin are not as excited as Tepam but only because being as excited as Tepam is about learning magic without being Tepam is probably not possible. They are Pretty Excited, though, despite Mika's lingering memories of how it felt the last time he poked at a magic thing. 

They are all very excited and very cute.

Lia has left Raeni and Aekon with Adon for the day, so she can devote all her attention to helping the trio safely learn one of the simple enchantments she'd built over the past three seasons. 

She brings them into her office and points them towards one of her tables, where nine plain rings are set three to a pile for them to pick from. 

"These all have warming, cooling, or glowing enchantments," she tells the three children. "Today you can pick one. You'll be disenchanting the one you pick to learn the enchantment, and then I'll be helping you enchant your first rings. These three enchantments are simple, so they shouldn't be dangerous for you to learn through disenchanting. After you've learned them, however, you'll have to learn the rest the hard way."

Tepam pays a lot of attention to all of this. "I want to pick glowing!"

"You can pick glowing," Lia says with a laugh. 

They're all pretty simple-looking, just metal wire twisted together to make plain rings. Lia hands Tepam one of the rings from the left pile and then waves Mika and Alesin forward to pick theirs.

"Don't get too attached," she tells them, "disenchanting wrecks the item, that's why they're all plain."

Lesi picks cooling, because it is summer and that means it is really hot, all the time. 

Hm, Mika wanted to learn the glowing one, but... he'll take warming, then. 

"You don't have to pick different ones if you don't want to," Lia laughs. 

  "Oh!" Mika decides to pick the glowing one after all, then. 

"Alright, you've all got one? To the enchanting table, then." She leads them over to the table, which has a wide step stool in front of it so the kids can all see. 

Tepam gets on the stool, left to Mika. "What do we do with it? Wait, was that the one that attacked Mika?"

"It didn't really attack me," Mika tells her, climbing up on her right while Lesi stands on her left. 

Lia pets his hair, "Mika disenchanted a very complicated necklace by accident, and it hurt him because it forced too much information into his brain. That's why you'll have to learn the more complicated enchantments the long way until you're older," she explains.

"Now, put your rings on the slate, between the symbols." 

Mika and Alesin do so.

So does Tepam. "How much older?"

Once the rings are on the table, the magic of the table itself shows the layer of magicka which surrounds them. All three rings have pale blue auras, though Alesin's is a slightly different shade.

"Four," Lia tells her, amused. It'll give Tepam something to do while the others are figuring out their Bonuses, at least. "Mika, you've already done this once, do you think you can tell Tepam and Alesin what you have to do to catch hold of the magic?" 

"Hmm," Mika nods, reaching out to try to catch the enchantment between his fingers. It takes him three times, but he manages it quicker than he did the last time. "Um, try just touching the magic before you try to grab it? It's slippery, but if you know what it feels like, it's easier." He lets go to poke at the magic of his ring, stroking it a couple times, before grabbing it again. 

Tepam follows these instructions with crystal sharp focus. Poke. Poke. Poke. "I think I can grab it?" She tries a couple of times before managing it.

Lesi takes a bit longer than Tepam did, but she gets it eventually.

It feels like fragile, slippery glass, and the pale light seems to shine more between their fingers.

"Good job you three," Lia tells them.

She steps around behind them so she can catch anyone if they fall down, "Okay, now let go." Once they've done so, she continues, "When you pull the magic away from the item it will release a lot of energy, which will melt the ring and cause a bright flash of light. So I want you to do this one at a time. Tepam, you first - catch hold of the magic again, and then give it a tug."

She feels vaguely bad over destroying a magic item, but she does that, gently pulling until it's tugged.

There is a bright flash of light, and then the information hits her, leaving her knowing exactly how to make another object like the ring. The glowing enchantment is a complex work of alteration magic, which requires that she manipulate magicka and the energy of a soulgem to tie something like the magelight spell to an object, along with the ability to turn it on and off with a word. 

She can also feel her magicka, now. A cool pool of energy which she can reach at any time, though what she can do with it, besides the only enchantment she knows, is not so clear.

Oooh. She is stares awed at nothing in particular. 

"Can invent new spells with this thing?" She points at her head.

"Eventually, yes. It will be easier if you know it better, first. We're going to start you on crafting enchantments once you've learned all of these three enchantments, and know them well enough to make apprentice-level rings. You'll be learning the spell Clairvoyance then, as well. That will teach you how to write what you make down so other people can understand it."

Tepam does not bounce because she is a stool, but she practically vibrates with excitement. "I want to learn everything!"

"Don't worry, we'll teach you all we know," Lia tells her, chuckling. 

"Okay, Alesin, you next, then Mika." 

It takes Lesi another few moments to grab hold of it again, but once she does she gives it a tug, producing another flash of light. Afterwards she stands there blinking at the air, and then down at the second lump of flash-melted silver wire on the table. She pokes her lump - it's cool - and picks it up, rolling it between her fingers. 

"My head feels very weird," she tells Tepam as her brother takes his turn.

"I know! It's magic and it's great!"
