... i've been training a lot recently - meditations on Diamond Soul with Chea, exercises with Katana Sword, as well.
Chea explained me a lot about magick - how verbal (words), somatic (gestures) and material (physical objects) components can be perceived to understand nature of magick being used.
Then we sat and meditated, as she spoke magickal mantras i just calmed and observed mind ... then she advised me to visualize energy shield around me, energy shield capable of soaking magick and its effects coming at me. After about 15 tries, it started to work.
Then Chea offered to cast magic missle at me for field-tests, i agreed. She cast three times, i've succeeded to resist all of three spells.
Bought her a dinner in gratitude, then we parted for a while.
Katana moves, parries and strikes i've practiced under tutelage of another person ... a Swordsman from Kozakura, named Ashikaga Ichirō ... that i met a while ago.
After all this training, i've noticed that i passed my inner requirements for considering myself 3rd Dan.
... i didn't announce this publicly still ... except for buying a martial arts robe, from the order of Dark Moon.

in narfell, any weapon can be wielded - even if one doesn't have proper weapon proficiency feat.
ReplyDelete... without this feat, however - attacks are at -4 penalty.
