Challenge #04417-L033: Subject of Attention

It's been nearly six months since they found hir student. When she realized just how badly she'd been mangling things, she almost got upset, until Wraithvine sat her down to explain that, that had been a GOOD thing, fate had been kind. Now, the young woman was showing real progress, but needed to learn moderation.

Wraithvine had done this literally thousands of times. Possibly millions. To be honest, ze had lost count. Assuming ze had ever started counting at all. Therefore, ze knew the patterns that every possible student of magic could follow.

Right now, this butterfly was flapping her wings and learning she could cause cyclones. If allowed to continue, she could get drunk on power and initiate an entirely different variety of chaos. Yes, her Ancient Elven was good enough to control her spellwork reliably. Now she was flexing her skills and realising how easy magic could make things for her.

No number of cautionary tales could prevent her from taking that power and using it to assert her dominance. She had control of her power, so there was no fear of it going wild.
