Sadde is home; it's a Friday evening, his shift is over, and there's no school. He's reading a book, lying on his bed in his small-but-tidy apartment.
He is also quite naked, because it's his place and why not?
Glam and Ashras in Wormverse

"Right then," says Ashras. "Here is a force wand." He pulls it from its holster and shows it to Glam. "Can you conjure a scaled-up copy as tall as I am?"

"You're so convenient," he says, taking the conjured staff and aiming it at a patch of ocean.
Force blasts, it turns out, don't look like much when they're in the air. They travel in a straight line from source to destination as a barely-visible ripple, at a speed somewhere between 'arrow' and 'bullet', making a sound like a large piece of cloth being torn in half. And when the blast strikes the surface of the water, it hits like a thrown anvil, kicking up an enormous violent splash.
Ashras smiles.
"So far so good."

"The water works pretty well for force, but I'll want something else to catch the lightning," he says. "For now, though: how about one of these that's twenty feet long?"

He can have one of those, since he's asking so nicely and makes such cute faces while he does it.

He grins.
He puts his hands on one end of the resulting force cannon, and fires it at the ocean.
The ripple in the air is approximately the size of a grand piano, and the splash that ensues when it hits the water is enormous.
Ashras laughs with delight.

—decide that they're far enough away from the shore that he doesn't need the mask so he can properly kiss Ashras' cheek.

Hugs!
"Is there a way to test force blasts that doesn't—wait, I could conjure like a wall or something that looks like what would be here if we weren't to hide the explosions. Yes, I'll do that."
He does that. It's fairly dark, no one's looking that way, problems are avoided.

"Okay, before I get too carried away, do you want to show off some destruction too?"
the-long-dawn
He shrugs. "I don't have anything specific in mind, I just think explosions are exciting."

He giggles. "Well, if you believe really hard in me, I could probably blow up a freighter boat!"
mxglam
"Well, then let's do that!" Pause. "Bigger wall, first. Okay, now freighter boat. Hmm, this might make a lot of noise." So the platform they're standing on grows propellers that start pushing it even farther away from the shore.
mxglam
"I know," he says, grinning.
Push push push, the shore is quite far away now.
Freighter boat: exists.
Turret gun: exists.

Aaaand... fire!
It's really good that they're so far away from shore because boom. Even Sadde's surprised. "That's some pretty fine believing you did there."
