[Open] Lumenous Arc

[Jessica Med-Beq]

After this rave on Zeltros, Jessica feels that maybe there is some way to work around the issue of bodily fluids for teaching the methods leading to Force-powered phosphorescence. Typically, because it's substantially similar to Force-light in effects, she would want to teach this effect at the same time as one would Force-light. Now, people who expressed interest in this lesson included [member="Raven Sorenova"], [member="Yuroic Xeraic"] and [member="Asaraa Vaashe"]; she shouldn't rule out other people like [member="Okuro_Ishimoto"] to learn these items. Also, she had to be ready for the gorier aspects of using Art of the Small for phosphorescence, as well as other uses of Art of the Small. She feels that a basic knowledge of chemistry, and especially atomic and molecular structure, is necessary to take full advantage of Art of the Small, and she doesn't want to bore anybody with chemical, or even optical details, when she knows everyone is there for Force-light, both burst and sustained. That, even though the sustained mode isn't really the same as Force-light.

"Welcome to the class on Force-light. We will also cover my favorite use of Art of the Small later, which will render you phosphorescent, and allow you to carry the energy of the light side through a bodily fluid. It might be a little gory but it's well worth the gore if you need lighting that is otherwise unavailable"

 

[Raven Sorenova]

It was odd, to say the least. Using the force through bodily fluids to create light. Raven couldn't help but think of fireflies. Her interest in the subject merely came from her curiosity which she thought was something that she had lost years ago. That, and the fact that she had never imagined anything of the likes of force-light, or even a human body glowing. At least, if it weren't on fire or in a cartoonish way, glowing green of nuclear waste material.

​The more confusing part was the particular mention of gore. How could phosphorescence be gory?

But despite all of the questions the young woman may have had, she still kept all of her thoughts to herself, and simply sat patiently for all to be explained. She could only hope that all of this wouldn't be too ahead of her.

[Tanaski Yumi]

Tana had done a few lesson on the Art of small with Wu Yeoh a while back, though such was really only practiced with paper and toy models. In the latter parts the class had switched to trying the skill out on each other, but that did not go past giving each other freckles. As such attending the class by the mature but still quite sexy master [member="Jessica Med-Beq"] was on the list, but the added parts of learning force light and the other thing seemed very interesting as well. Strange but if it had a practical use why not learn it, though the mention on bodily fluid did raise an eye brow with the young Jin

Entering the room it seemed that things where just starting, onlly Jess and some other woman whom he did not know being present ([member="Raven Sorenova"]). A small class, perhaps people assumed it would be strange? Who knew, more could always come later, but for now it looked liked 2 people only. "Good day Master Med-Beq, ready and awaiting to become a glow stick".

 

[Jessica Med-Beq]

"Because others have not yet arrived, I'll hold off on teaching the actual know-how of Force-light. For now, I have to say that it can be used to blind an opponent, it can also be used to dissolve the dark side in an opponent, an object or a location"

Yes, it was true that the only ones present were [member="Raven Sorenova"] and [member="Tanaski Yumi"], while the other Jedi that signed up for this Force-light lesson have yet to arrive, namely [member="Asaraa Vaashe"] and [member="Yuroic Xeraic"]. If it meant that she would have to repeat information at some point, so be it, just that the stuff she is presenting right now to Raven and Tana were simply accessory information, rather nice to have but by no means essential for them to actually use either power. She knew by now that she could simply adjust her brightness and turn it off if necessary, by simply controlling how much light-sided energy she infused into the bodily fluid or recapturing it. Although, in the past, she simply became as bright as she possibly could, she knew by now that adjustments were required and that too bright a light could cause problems. On the other hand, she knew she had to make her computational power count whenever she wanted to enter her Force-induced phosphorescent state: infusing her neurotransmitters with the light side was definitely going to cost her a lot of computational power to do so, and it could be limiting.

"As for Art of the Small, I'll simply have to say that you can use Art of the Small for a wide variety of purposes. Typically I tend to keep the use of Art of the Small for medical uses, such as converting a poison into medication"

 

[Tanaski Yumi]

"That is fine by me, more then happy to just wait around and lean some of the more simple stuff", time was not really a problem for him after all. It would be better to learn the more orthodox form of the skill being taught, how to use it against dark sider users, sort of in a flash light method from what he knew. Such a method seemed to be more uncontrolled and just letting the light flow out of someones body, no doubt the skill [member="Jessica Med-Beq"] aimed to teach also focused on using art of small to keep that light side energy contained to become illuminated. "I am familiar with the art of small already, though I have yet to use it for medical use, more just slight body alteration and changing physical inorganic objects". The latter being easier since organic cells and composition where always changing around and much more complex then simple molecules in a synthetic materials.

[Barinthus E'ron]

He had heard the rumors and well coming into the room while he was looking around At the three in there, one of them the jedi master teaching it and one was Tana.. or Sukai.. from initial seeing them he couldn't always tell them apart but the jedi knight was moving as he crossed his arms over his chest with a look on his face. "Is this the force light class?" He asked it but then well there was talk of the art of the small which he did know a few things about.

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Force light was one of those powers that everyone had heard of, that everyone wanted to try their hand at but was commonly held to be one of the more complex powers to try your hand at. It was the kind of thing that Asaraa had always assumed was taught to senior knights so when the option for a class teaching the skill was offered it was a no-brainer to sign up.

The whole idea of turning herself into a glowing extension of the force was, if she was honest, not something that she'd ever considered before, or was entirely ready to think about. Making minor changes to her body with the art of the small was something she'd practised at, but that was it. Still, the basic idea behind the idea was interesting, and there was nothing stopping her from turning that around and imbuing it in someone else if she needed to. A smile touched the girl's lips as she slipped into the back of the room, it might never happen, but infusing the Dark Lord of the Sith with forcelight was a pleasant daydream.

 

[Jessica Med-Beq]

"Yes" she answered Barinthus. "I will first demonstrate Force-light as a flash before you can attempt it"

Understandably, [member="Raven Sorenova"] kept quiet while [member="Tanaski Yumi"] commented on the level he reached in Art of the Small. Minor body modifications. Going from minor body modifications to medicinal uses, such as converting a poison into a medication, isn't that big of a stretch. Now I believe I ought to teach the flash first, then the beam, because one needs a grasp on light projection before one can even think of focusing it into a coherent beam. Even though in all other instances I have been using it, I became phosphorescent, I hope I can use it without turning into a lightbulb or a few hundred, Jessica thought, while the other two students of the lesson of the day, [member="Barinthus E`ron"] and [member="Asaraa Vaashe"], arrived into the premises. Once they are all in position, she shut down the lights inside the room. She thus channeled the light-sided energy inside her left hand, before letting loose the collected energy without leaving any of the energy used inside her neurotransmitters. Thus the room lighted up with a rather bright flash, but nowhere near the luminosity level she can achieve in her phosphorescent state, where she could, in fact, shine like several dozen streetlight bulbs crammed inside a space the size of her skull. And did so in a rave on Zeltros.

"Now, you first need to concentrate your light-sided energy into your hand or your eyes before you can project it outward. Once you have a sufficient concentration of light-sided energy, then you can visualize that appendage as a lightbulb"

 

[Tanaski Yumi]

Tana sat down cross-leg as he awaited the demonstration form the Jedi master, the basic fundamental part of the use of Force Light in it's more offensive manner. Thankfully it was something he was capable of learning, Sukai would probable find such a power uncomfortable to use due to her more dark side manner, while mother would not be able to use this power flat out. Among his immediate (and quite large family) Tana was pretty much the only proper lightsider.

As the dimming of the lights came around Tana felt a giddy excitement build up, himself easily seeing through the dark light as he watched Jess ready the demonstration. The brought flash and brief illumination of the area carried the same feel to quickly turning on and off a flood light, a small clap escaping his hands as Jess continued the lesson. "Concentrate on hard, then visualize and shoot, i think I can manage something like that".

Standing up Tana went first, holding his hand in a manner that mimicked grasping a ball, bit by bit able to feel the light side energy compile in his hand. It took longer then Jess but after building up a decent strength he let loose his own flash, picturing the sudden snap of lighting, a someone quick but bright flash coming from the young Jins hand. Defendantly not as powerful as Jesse's, lasting a very short amount of time compared to Jesse's, but in his mind a good start.

[Raven Sorenova]

Raven paid close attention to the words that Jessica spoke. This being something that she was so terribly inexperienced in, asking questions that she didn't even understand wasn't something she thought to do. It confused her, really. The idea of using the Force to induce some type of bioluminescence. All that she knew was that the Force was specifically, and for the most part only that. A Force that could be used to push, pull, and otherwise. Much like telepathy. But that's just how she understood it given her lack of understanding of the Force as a whole, and seeing Jessica's hand light up the way that it did made her realize exactly how much she didn't know. She knew that her knowledge was limited, but not to this extent. She watched Tanaski perform the same action, though not as bright.

She figured it was her turn. She breathed in, looking down at her hand as she tried to focus and channel her energy to produce the same effect, but after a few extensive moments, she came up with nothing.

She tried again, attempting to clear her mind to concentrate on the task that she found so oddly difficult. When she released whatever energy she thought to have had built up, it only turned out to be the kind that puts a small crater in the floor under her, causing her to yelp and stagger. She caught her balance, her breathing had quickened due to the startle, and the fact that she had just put a small hole in the floor where she stood. She couldn't think of anything else to do at the moment except for look up at Jessica, putting her hands together and bowing deeply.

"I'm sorry, ma'am!"

It was embarrassing, to say the least, to have screwed up like this.

I-I don't know how... I just... I'm sorry!"

[Barinthus E'ron]

He was looking as another joined them and the jedi master was speaking out it... kind of confusing but force light as he knew it was focusing thje force into a blast. Something to push away from yourself... she was...... making herself glow. He looked at her and remained quiet... then at Tana and the other who was practicing it before he spoke. "You want us to be nightlights?" He was unsure about how this would make force light that they could channel to repel a darksider but shrugged.

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

The padawan tilted her head to the side, as she observed the Jedi Master carefully, feeling rather than seeing her manipulating the force as the energy building up in her hand before it releasing it. She made it look and sound so easy, but she didn't think anything could ever work out quite that well.

Taking a deep breath the girl turned her gaze down onto her own palm, closing her eyes as she tried to imagine the force gathering there and just collecting in her palm. This part wasn't hard, it was how you started any kind of enhancement but to explode it out, that was proving to be more difficult. Instead of exploding out the force seemed to want to drain out like a liquid rather than a burst of light. The girl bit down on her lip as she turned all of her focus on her arm, trying to compress the force, ignite it into a small spark to start.

[Finley Dawson]

A class on Force Light. This wasn't exactly new ground for the young Knight, able to channel it to some degree, but Master Med-Beq was offering an unusual angle on the topic, as well as Art of the Small.

He planned on taking a lot of notes today. Keyword: Planned. He was running terribly late that day, stumbling upon the class when the instruction was already well underway.

Most attendees look occupied with summoning Force Light, so he took the opportunity to just quietly slide in without trying to bring attention to himself. Then out came his datapad to begin recording. The librarian still had a job to do.

[Jessica Med-Beq]

"The nightlight portion is for later; before you can even think of turning into a nightlight, you first need to know how to perform Force-light in a flash" she answered [member="Barinthus E`ron"].

[member="Tanaski Yumi"] had some success with creating a flash of light, but the just same cannot be said of [member="Raven Sorenova"]: it looked more like a kinetic blast than a flash of light from the looks of the crater on the floor. Meanwhile, [member="Asaraa Vaashe"] was struggling to compress the light-sided energy enough to create a spark of light. And, of course, [member="Finley Dawson"] was seemingly more interested in glowing than he was in Force-light, but for someone to become phosphorescent at any intensity, one needed to know how to perform Force-light first. Then again, perhaps I can turn phosphorescent when using Force-light because of my purity as a light-sider; I know that even a beginner in Force-light can project a few hundred lumens, maybe 1,000-2,000 lumens, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather shine half a million lumens for hours on end, with the corresponding Force-energy expenditures, than to emit a flash of a few million lumens, she thought, realizing that lux are distance-dependent while lumens are distance-independent.

"One needs to be calm, serene with oneself to perform Force-light. One needs to watch out for the emotional state and the resulting purity of the energy being accumulated or else it may end up being impure: what happened to Raven is a good indication of what happens when you're concentrating light-sided Force-energy with significant impurities"

 

[Barinthus E'ron]

He raised an eyebrow looking at her and the fact she seemed to confirm they were going to be nightlights.... kind of.... He had really no idea what to say but watched the other confused for a moment before he was mirror how his mother and father used force light. Feet spread just enough to ground himself, muscles loose but tense.... eyes focused and he breathed in pulling at the force, then expelling it as the light formed in his palms and went out. THat she then said there were impurities to the ultimate technique with the lightside was even more confusing.
