it's taken a week to recover from my self-inflicted exhaustion
time to make good on the promise of journaling about the 14 students who attended my class 3 months ago
here are the abridged notes ordered by my estimation of their magecrafting skills
transom (forged; they): wizard developing their skills in general; keeps heart & hammer running; perpetually overworked?
lem (forged; they): physic turned apothecary developing their knowledge of forged physiology and care
mags (forged; she): twice curious as in eager to learn and unique of kind; bird who exchanged names with her is always present; aspect of asymmetry (2 eyes but not a pair! big dark stormy woods energy
d'jorasco cora greenleaf (halfling; she): wouldn't have "renew" without her help; talented but obstinate; successfully cast renew self with her mark! then ... left without a word? (medya says she's likely angry at h.jorasco for misleading her about the nature of their magic)
augur (forged; they): spectacle-duelling mage tending toward divination; served in king's wands as hexkey's scryer king's wands and now works alongside them on gears' stable as ringside repairs; always slightly nervous due to war trauma
hexkey (forged; they): spectacle-duelling mage tending toward evocation; served in king's wands as augur's artillerist and now works alongside them on gears' stable as ringside repairs; morbid sense of humor due to war trauma
anuush (hobgoblin; he): bartender at shamukaar; "nareyet needs a medic for when fights break out"; incredible physical presence for someone so quiet; reminds me a little of my cousin wainwright
stylus (forged; he): printmaker and precision drafter and artist; built like morran's arm but very refined and graceful in motion; designed my business card; hopes to expand the magic of sending stones to capture and send images! (merrix already did this but hasn't shared the schema)
halberd 8 (forged; they): friend of ploughshare; bouncer at red hammer; wants to provide first aid; acts like he's still enlisted; loves to knit winter wear and blankets (now that i consider it spellcraft is quite a bit like knitting)
olnonith (khorvaran; she): came to me after class to learn how to make feather fall tokens ... to give to folks in the lower districts because she's not a fan of heights; shared some amazing honeyed cakes of crisp rice that medya adores!
hazel gregwin (human; she): rookie in the shaarat watch sent by captain iyanna to learn first aid for both grown and forged prisoners; similar to beren and paten lonn she's trying to unlearn her parents' anti-forged attitudes; friendly and eager
tah'l kavendorindel (ærani; fluid): the sort of ... opinionated creative type i'm comfortable being uncomfortable around; wants to develop new ways to modify sound; member of arcane sound referred by both medya and chromatic
trumpet (forged; they): herald for councilor crucible; referred by smith as another way to support community; regal appearance; voice like a velvet pillow
sledge (forged; he): casting about to find a direction; heard of the class via missing pieces network; made it through all sessions but struggled the whole way; this won't be his talent but his dedication will help him find it
i'd say it was a perfect class – they all learned from me and i learned from all of them!
