Doctor Doak finds his thoughts wandering back to his apparent affinity for magic. The spider woman at the library was probably just winding him up; she did say she charged a significant amount of money for her "consulting" services. He knows this isn't the time he does his best work, and needs to wind down a little bit before he can get back to it. He's been reading and writing for hours in a not particularly well-lit room. He rubs his eyes, letting out a short sigh. He wanted to get this done, but he wanted to do the best he could. Nothing less would do.
Going outside for some fresh air would do him good. A short walk should get the blood pumping. He chuckles softly to himself, thinking he could probably practice some of the magic he's read about so far.
Go outside. Find a plant. Do magic to it.
[Roll: 17/20]Doctor Doak finds a random plant sprouting from the ground nearby and tries doing magic to it.
Having read the first two volumes of
Elementary Nature Magic, he has some idea of the magical properties of certain plants, as well as the theory behind how to influence plant growth.
Being a complete beginner, he's still not exactly sure what to do, as he tries focusing his mind on the plant and putting his hands over it in a "magicky" way as described in the books.
...Nothing at first.
He then focuses more intensely, and soon feels a strange tingly force gather in his hands. He slowly channels the energy out onto the plant below.
The plant seems to respond mildly to the energy, its leaves bobbing slightly in the direction of the energy.
Doctor Doak continues his efforts, channeling more energy into the plant, as the plant then continues its little movements. After some time applying more effort, the plant seems to have grown a couple of inches.
Doctor Doak's Nature Magic skill level has increased from 0 to 1!Doctor Doak learns the spell Minor Plant Growth: Cause a plant to grow slightly.
