"Storm magic." That was what Antlion had suggested when Arctic asked him for suggestions of what magic he should practice more. "I'm not good with lightning, you think i could pull this off?" The unicorn asked his friend with bits of uncertainty in his voice. But it could be an interesting and powerful thing to learn too.

"Well, if you’re not good with it, then that’s a nice thing to practice with.” The changeling said in response. “You know, you could get Evan for help, he's an alicorn afterall, I'm sure he'd be able to give some pointers." The changeling suggested. Giving it a good thought, Arctic decided that that wasn't a bad idea too.

"Yeah, I can do that, Thanks Ant!" Agreeing to Antlion’s suggestion, Arctic headed off to find the alicorn hybrid for help in practicing his magic.

“I tried lightning magic before, but I was never good with it. Antlion thinks I could give that some more practice” The young unicorn stated, trotting beside the imposing blue alicorn hybrid outside the CobaltChasm. The alicorn hybrid is so much taller than Arctic, and so much prettier and flashy too with his galactic blue marking against his dark blue pelt. “And uh- Evan? where are you taking us?” Arctic asked the hybrid as he looked up at the skies, the weather’s a bit cloudy and windy, his pet bat Lilith fluttered around, enjoying the wide open area as she followed the duo but keeping close to Arctic.

“Just an open area around here, it’s easier to invoke lightning magic in places like this” Evan replied, head raised high and his magnificent butterfly like wings sparkled as he spread them open to feel the wind. “Wide open area, not much greenery and trees, the Quarry is the best for lightning magic practices. The weather’s perfect for it too, you’re in luck Arctic, this weather will be in your favor for your lightning practice. Are you ready for this?” Evan asked, folding his wing back against his side.

The young unicorn thought for a while before stepping out into the open, “Yeah! I’m ready for this!” Noticing Lilith still fluttering around over their head, Arctic called out to her, “Hey Lith, it might get dangerous for you, come down here to me please.” With a squeak, the bat fluttered down to him and clung to his cloak, crawling under the hood of his cloak and getting comfortable.

“Use your environment to your advantage, pick up the wind with your magic and use it to whip up a little storm of your own, and invoke lightning from that.” Evan continued, “It may be a bit challenging since you’re not a pegasus, but I’m sure you can manage that, I’ll be your overseer, good luck.”

Arctic nodded and focused on his environment, feeling around it with his magic. Whip up a little storm, I can do this. Winds started to pick up around the unicorn as he focused. His cloak and hair fluttered as the wind got stronger. Getting affected by the wind, Lilith clung to his cloak tightly. “I’m doing it Evan, I’m doing it!” Feeling the wind picking up around him more and more, the unicorn is feeling thrilled.

“Focus Arctic! Try to pull a lightning from your surroundings”

“Right, I can do this!” Arctic let out a little huff and focused, trying to use his magic to generate lightning from the dry air around. It took quite a bit of effort before he managed to make little electricity sparks. “I got this, come on….” He muttered under his breath, and tried harder. In a desperate attempt, the unicorn exerted a bit more magic. A lightning struck down not far away from his hoof with a flash, causing a gasp from the unicorn and making him flinch as his bat clung tighter to his cloak.

“Careful now Arctic, don’t strike yourself with the lightning, you are doing great, focus!” The alicorn hybrid called out to get Arctic’s attention. But the unicorn froze for a bit, the storm he whipped up died down for a bit, and the unicorn let out a breath of relief.

“I called down a lightning, did you see that?” Arctic looks a bit flabbergasted, and then perked up thinking back to what he just did. Even Lilith squeaked too after calming down and looking out from under the hood. “That was so cool!”

Chuckling, the alicorn hybrid trotted closer to Arctic and gave him a little pat on the back with his wing, “You did great, just practice more and you’ll get better and better.” Arctic grinned ear to ear, looking very proud of himself, now he got a bit of grasp of it, he will do more practice every now and then and get even better.
