Elder Blood Witcher 14 Comprehension

1 Year later

Geralt could be scene sparring against a 10 yearold Reima at a secluded spot in the mountains, he is about to bring his sword down when Reima suddenly disappears in a turquoise flash and kicks Geralt in the back. He turns around just in time to see Reima vanish again, predicting his position Geralt turns and stabs his sword behind him stopping it just before Reima's throat.

Geralt "Don't always go for the back, it's predictable."

Reima had asked Geralt if he could help him train with his innate magic, he agreed. With Geralt's help short teleportation or blinking has become more fluid and easier to execute mid combat, with the help of his limited observation Haki doing complex manoeuvres mid blink is possible, but still no where near what Ciri shows during her battle with Caranthir from the Wild Hunt.

He has also been trying to find other uses for the Elder Blood powers, Reima remembers before the fight with Eredin and the rest of the Wild hunt she trained by using what looked like Jedi force powers. He has not been able to replicate this but seeing as she had been taught by Avallac'h who is probably the most knowledgeable able the Elder Blood around. Still he has made some progress in other areas, the Elder Blood feels like a kinda of elementally inclined magic, it feels different to the warmth he feels when he uses Igni or the safety with Quen. One day he tried to imbue the Elder Blood into his Quen sign and was greeted with a turquoise s.h.i.+eld instead of yellow that enveloped his body... When testing the s.h.i.+eld he found that he provided little to no protection verses blades or anything else he could think of, a number of tests later and he found that his air resistance was significantly decreased allowing him to run faster and perform manoeuvres quicker.

Eventually through extensive meditation on the subject Reima came to the conclusion that the Elder Blood was a higher form a magic that was attributed closely to s.p.a.ce and Time. He imagines if he put enough power into his Elder Blood Quen s.h.i.+eld he could walk through walls or become intangible. He decided not to attempt it due to the possibility of falling through the floor and eventually becoming tangible while miles into the earth... Under the close watch of Geralt he tested imbuing the Elder Blood into other Signs, the result were :

Igni : Turquoise flames that caused visible ripples in the s.p.a.ce near it, causing things caught by it to be what can only be called disintegration. The attributes of Igni, Fire, Ignite and burn shows different effects when combined with s.p.a.ce and Time... The effects are what you would a.s.sume if you tried to burn s.p.a.ce and time, on what specifically happens to things caught by it will probably remain a mystery.

Yrden : Turquoise s.h.i.+eld that envelopes an area, preventing even Elder Blood teleportation from being used, it also seems to slow down the time of all those caught within. Not terribly useful in a panic due to the longer set up time compared to the normal Yrden.

Aard : Using it on a rock makes it disappear and reappear metres ahead with ma.s.sively increased velocity, using it on living beings is difficult for some reason, like they are resistant to the translocation but with enough power it's possible.

Axii : Now this one was a surprise, when cast on animals it seems to increase their reflexes and speed. It seems to speed up the time of which the brain operates, it doesn't cause any strain or stress due to the time being sped up and not just it's functions. Useful but could prematurely age certain organs quicker than others... Might cause complications.

Quen : A Turquoise s.h.i.+eld that may or may not allow for intangibility, it allows me to almost negate air resistance when cast on myself... I still don't know when or if the Time aspect of the Elder Blood is going to effect it.

Heliotrop : Not a Sign I am very adept at yet but Elder Blood doesn't seem to change it's ability to block strikes, no effects have been observed but perhaps not enough power is being applied. Funny how Igni is pretty same to test with but Quen and Heliotrop, Signs use for protection are the most dangerous.

Geralt and Reima talk about the effects of each and ways the can be put to use, Igni might be able to be used against non Corporeal enemies such as Foglets and other similar monsters. Geralt suggests that Reima focuses on fully understanding the Signs and Elder Blood separately before experimenting further, Reima agrees and comments that it would be spectacularly stupid to die because he couldn't stop his curiosity.

Geralt "You are progressing so quickly, you might be ready for the path this time next year..." He says with some apprehension in his voice

Reima "You think I'm almost ready?"

Geralt "If you continue at the pace your going, Yeah. Don't rush it though, learn all you can while you are here."

Reima nods and as he is rather exhausted due to the large use of his magic they decide to head back and grab some food.
