God of the Spark
Well, that was a step in the right direction. Would the God have been surprised if Rikyn had thrown a minor tantrum in response to the God's words? No of course not. It was the nature of the mortals to be greedy and short-sighted, and as much as he condemned them for it, he didn't necessarily fault them. They were hard wired to demand what they thought owed to them, and Rikyn had indeed done what the God had asked and should have been receiving his magic today. But the world worked in fickle ways.
That Rikyn was possibly starting to see that, or if nothing else, that he put his trust in the God, was a pleasing first step towards the sort of long-sight the God was trying to reveal to him.
The Spark's ears perked forward as the stallion continued. So he wanted to learn, did he? Good, The God thought with a rough smile on his dark tinged lips. "So go learn about it." The God began, grinning. "There are two parts to the magic that has drawn your curiousity: an involuntary response, and a lack of control" Some might think those were nearly the same, but they weren't. And Rikyn was about to find that out. "Take this-" The God offered the unicorn a flawed blue stone. "Next time you find yourself curious, have someone touch the centre of the stone, and find out what it feels like to experience these involuntary responses you inflict upon others*. Do this three times. Before or after, whichever you prefer, find yourself in a situation where you have no control. Perhaps it is because you've freely given it up, perhaps it is taken from you. Perhaps you had no control to begin with. But experience that sense of powerlessness twice. Then return to me, and we'll see what you've learned."
The God's short tail flicked around his backside. Rikyn would either take the easy way out with this quest, or he would learn something. Either way, it was no longer up the God now to help guide the stallion.
"And Rikyn?" The God's eyes looked cold and hard, but glistened with amusement. "Try not to take so long this time, eh?"
In 3 threads, Rikyn must have another touch his stone. He will then experience an involuntary reaction (either you can choose what it is, or your RP partner can! It can be things that his magic doesn't control (like hysterical laughter, crying, fear) or things that it does (loss of movement, increased heartbeat, etc). In 2 threads Rikyn must experience a situation where he has no control - whether that be because he has given up control to another, where he has control taken from him, or where he had no control to begin with.
