THMC01 Shades of Light/17

Larick and Volney help with diagnosis of kind of magic used by Rhona. Did not know of it. Had never met it before. Were going to try to teach her how to understand and control it, but were unable to help at all. Eyes turn white when using his magic. Is able to block thought in other's minds, so that their magic would not work for them (teleporting, making fire). Could mind-read.

Beliefs:

We in the Arcadian Valley understand magic to be something within all of us, you just have to know how to access it. It’s not that some are born with it while others aren’t. It’s that some learn how to access it, while others live their entire lives in ignorance. All magic is part of a pool of shared energy. The only difference is in how you use it.
