To be honest, there isn't a great deal to report.

I'm unsure if this will benefit anyone besides myself, but I've managed to remember a fair number of fonic artes recently. In general world terms I suppose that translates to "magic spells". I prefer not to call them that, since there's nothing particularly fantastical about fonic artes (they can be explained, more or less, scientifically), but seeing as there are so many different words for similar concepts, I suppose that will suffice.

[[OOC: I'm so indecisive it's not even funny anymore. 2% on Novice and Mid/High Fonic Artes. 31% used, 1% remaining.]]

Okay. Do you remember a while ago when I asked if you could help me learn how to actually use Seventh Fonons?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Tear suspected it might come to this.]

Yes. It was back during the summer, and I only had knowledge of my earliest training at the time.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Do you think you know enough to...to teach me?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

...I could try.

However, if your goal is to be able to use fonic artes, then I can't guarantee it'll work. This isn't because I doubt your ability to learn, but because I honestly have yet to recall a time when you've executed one.

But, then again, I seem to recall Asch having used them.

...Hey, I can perform a hyperresonance by myself.

Which you have limited control over.

My point being that not all seventh fonists have the capacity for the same varieties of fonic artes. Some have an aptitude for healing, some focus more on other tasks that use seventh fonons - such as Score reading. It depends on the individual. Casting fonic artes and controlling fonons are not things one can simply memorize. I can try to explain, but the process will likely be a slow one; you'll have to break everything down and come to understand it for yourself.

Okay, okay, I get it. Look, it's fine. I just want to get some actual training in how to use Seventh Fonons.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I understand.




...all right, then.
