[VERBS: Focus, meditate, study.]

FOCUS

You focus your magical senses on a filigreed blossom. You sense unfamiliar fey magic coursing through the blossom, but are unable to make sense of the pattern, if there is one. For a brief moment, the air seems to grow crisper around you, with a sharp, cool scent of autumn. Roundtime: 10 sec.

MEDITATE

You contemplate your blossom for a moment, but something makes you hesitate.

NAME: Thaena

SHORT DESC: a willowy alfar warrior

APPEAR: a willowy alfar warrior with its forearms wrapped in verdant moonsilver bracers

DESCRIPTION: The slender figure has fine features, and a softly contoured frame with pale skin and a face dominated by expressive black eyes. Intricate bands of viridescent metal encircle both wrists in delicate matching filigree, their smoothly etched leaves shaped by faintly luminous contours. A wandering tattoo of flowering vines covers the scalp in an intricately shaped design reminiscent of a pixie-cut hairstyle. Further, you are shown as already having a guardian spirit alteration. If you continue, this alteration will *ERASE* your previous alteration. The previous alteration will be LOST forever. Continue only if this is acceptable to you!

If this is acceptable, please meditate on your blossom again within the next minute.]

As you contemplate the blossom, the air around you grows crisper, with the sharp smell of late autumn. In the distance, you hear the gentle chiming of bells, though their tones are slightly discordant to your ears. Abruptly, you realize that you are not alone, a willowy alfar warrior with its forearms wrapped in verdant moonsilver bracers standing before you. Gently, the creature takes the blossom from your hand, inspecting it gravely.

In a sonorous voice, the willowy warrior says, "This has been lost to my people for many years, and we had all but given up the search. My name is Thaena. I owe you a great debt, Chanepheous. Call upon me at any time, and I will come to your aid." The warrior bows respectfully, its left hand resting over its heart.

As it straightens the warrior appears less real, like a reflection seen in an antique mirror. You close your eyes to blink away the dizzying apparition and when you open them, the creature is gone.

[From now on a CUSTOM cast of the GS spell will summon your altered alfar warrior!]
