  Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's bedtime stories. Tonight,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: we're going to be headed back into a series that
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I haven't done for a while, Kid Wizard. There have
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: been quite a few people in the Spotify comments anyways
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: asking me to continue the story, and I honestly don't
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know why I haven't continued it in a while. I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: think mostly just because I haven't had suggestions for it,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but they gave me a suggestion.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: In the comments.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I believe their user name was Smoky, but Dominic has
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: also been asking for kid Wizard, and they suggested that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: kid Wizard learns weather magic. So I think we're going
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to do that tonight. I don't know that he'll actually
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: learn everything about weather magic, but I think we.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Could start that process.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: If you've never listened before, I think you really need
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to know is Kid Wizard is a kid who gets
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: invited to a wizarding school, which is inside.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Sort of a well.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: There's a portal in an ancient tree that leads to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a whole other world of wizardry, and while there, the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: kid is given a backpack that's kind of enchanted and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: inside the backpack is an entire place to live, kind
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of like a little pocket dimension, and in every episode,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the kid learns something new about magic.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: If you like the podcast.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Don't forget to rate it and review it on whatever
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: platform you're listening on. Ratings and reviews do make a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: really big difference. Positive ratings and reviews. I should say
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: sharing it with a friend is a big deal too.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And yeah, if you want to add free episodes, you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: can always join us on Patreon. And if you haven't
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: joined us on Patreon, that's totally okay, but it means
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you're probably gonna get nad right about here. Time to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: close your eyes, get as comfy as you can in
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: that bed, and imagine yourself doing what the.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Kid and the story does. You wake up.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Inside your pocket Dimension backpack. You get up, swing your
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: legs over the side of the bed and stretch. You
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: head over to the little fridge in the kitchen area
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of your pocket dimension, grab whatever food you want, throw
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on some clothes, and climb up the long ladder. As
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you climb, the top of the backpack opens up and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you step out into well a gigantic empty training hall.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: You pick up the backpack and sort of squish it together,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it automatically shrinks down into a really tiny size, small
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: enough that you can easily place it in your pocket.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You head out of the training area, down the halls,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: through the main commons area where the cafeteria is, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: suddenly you feel a little drops of water on your head,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but you're inside.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You look up to see a little cloud.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: A small little spark of lightning takes off, hits you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in the shoulder, which kind of hurts, and then the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: cloud starts pouring rain. Where is this thing coming from?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You wonder? As you get completely drenched with water. You
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: try to run away, but the cloud follows you as
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: if you're in some sort of cartoon. Soon you hear laughter,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: familiar laughter. You look over to see Tyrannus or Rexington.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You're ourgch enemy and all of his friends laughing hysterically
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and pointing at you. Clearly they're the ones behind the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: well little cloud. Many thoughts begin going through your mind,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: thoughts of how to get rid of the cloud, or
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what exactly you could do to Tyrannus Rexington. Perhaps a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: little bolt of lightning would teach him what's what? You
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: decide that that would probably only cause more problems. Maybe
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you should just get rid of the cloud m Unfortunately,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you don't really know how to get rid of clouds.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You try to push at it using telekinesis, but it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: as if the power slips right through the thing. You've
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: never really dealt with cloud or weather magic before. Instead,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you decide on a completely different tactic, teleporting away. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: close your eyes, you get to that place where your
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: body is filled with well more relaxing thoughts, and you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: imagine yourself being in a completely different place back in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the training hall where Martin teaches you various different kinds
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of magic. You imagine what it looks like, what it
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: feels like, what it smells like, and soon your body
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: begins to disappear from where it is and reappear where
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you want it to be. Luckily, the cloud doesn't follow. Ah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: what happened to you, kid? Martin asks, Well, Tyrannus Rexington
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: happened to me? You respond, Oh, wow, you're drenched. Yeah
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I am, you say, Remembering that you have the power
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: over heat magic, you slowly raise the temperature of your
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: body and your clothing, and very soon you start to steam.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The water evaporates, and well, you dry off rather quickly,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: What exactly did he do this time? Martin asks, he
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: made a cloud rain cloud that followed me arraund and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: rained on me. Well, the glassic rain cloud drick hilarious,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Martin says, maybe to other people, it wasn't hilarious to me. Yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: good point. Did you try to push it away? Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but it didn't work. Ah, did you try doing it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: using normal telekinesis? Uh yeah, yeah, Well obviously that wouldn't work,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and its cloud form water can be rather elusive. And well,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a wild guess that you would like
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to learn weather magic now, Uh yeah, kind of?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I thought? So?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, well, honestly, whether magic isn't super simple,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: but you have a lot of the basics you'd need.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You understand eating things up and cooling them down. You've
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: got your basic telekinesis. You learned lightning magic, which you'd
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: come in really handy if you want to add dramatic
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: lightning like effects or well direct the direction of them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So I guess all that's really left is manipulating water
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and air. I guess, so, oh, why doesn't telekinesis work
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: on them?
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: First of all?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it does work on them to be honest with you,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: it's just how you focus it on something that's so flexible.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Solids are easy. I mean, ice would be if you
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: really thought about it. You could have turned that cloud
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: into dies and then shot it back at Tyrannus if
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you really wanted to. But it's often more difficult to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: get the hang of using telekinesis on water. It's just
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: so flexible. Same can be true of air. To be fair,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you can absolutely use telekinesis against well, singular or groups
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of air particles move them around, but really commanding the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: air as a much bigger deal. It's a force of nature,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: after all, one that affects all parts of the earth
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and flows through almost all people. So to truly command
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it in a meaningful way, you have to tap into
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: something that most people know of her learned to. It
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: seems like Tyrannus had it figured out. You see, Tyrannus
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: didn't have anything figured out. He knew enough to create
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a little tiny cloud, But I doubt he can apply
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that to weather in general. I'd love to see that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: guy try to create a whole thunderstorm. That's a completely
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: different thing.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: To do that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: You have to understand how weather works. You'd have to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: condense the water in the air into clouds to command
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the wind itself to move in a particular way, possibly
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to even create a cold front or warm front. He
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was probably just using basic telekinesis on a small bit
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of water to create the cloud. If you want to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: show him up, I say we learn real weather magic. Okay,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I'm in whatever that means. All right, Well, first let's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: work on your water manipulation. Martin leads you over to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: a little pool of water. Now, water is a form
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of matter. It's certainly solid enough to hold on to,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: but elusive. In order to truly command it in any
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: kind of meaningful way, it's best to sort of become
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: one with the water, to allow the energy from your
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: body to move into the water. To understand that you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and the water are not actually separate beings. You're part
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of the same larger thing that holds everything together, and therefore,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in a way, the water is a part of you.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It's both outside you and inside you at the same time.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: When you realize this connection, you can extend your mind
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: into the water.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: When you can.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Feel every part of it as if it's part of
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: your own body, then you can manipulate it much more easily.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Watch Martin reaches out towards the water. The water lifts
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: up out of the pool, streams into a long, thin stream,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and starts to spin around the room. Martin moves around
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: as if he's performing some sort of martial arts sequence,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: directing the water to move with him. Once the water
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: feels like it's a part of you, then you can
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: use your basic telekinetic principles to allow it to float
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: up and around. Instead of pushing against it with telekinesis,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you become it and push against other things. After that,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: do you already understand the principles of heating things up
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and cooling them down? You can apply those to the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: water as well. He holds a ball of water in
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the air and it soon begins to boil and steam. Then,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: almost as instantly, it freezes into a large ball of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: ice before melting into water again. He gently allows it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to flow back into the tiny little pool and looks
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: over to you.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Your turn.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's all I have to do is realize that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I am the.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Water more than that. Kid.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You are everything, and everything is you. We're all connected.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: We may seem separate, but uh, we're not. We're just
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: experiencing the sense of separateness, and just tap back into
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that part of yourself that knows it's connected to everything.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Allow the water to become part of you, and making
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it flow will become much much easier. You close your
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: eyes and reach out to the water. You take long, slow,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: deep breaths, You relax your muscles, and you start to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: focus on those thoughts that are well happier. You remember
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the feeling of happiness in general, and you let it
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: fill your entire body. Then you try to let go
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of any thoughts in your mind, getting rid of your
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: own ego, that part of you that says you are
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you and you are very separate from other things. Instead,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you just breathe and you allow your very consciousness to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: expand beyond your own body into the surrounding area. For
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a second, it says, if you find yourself floating above yourself,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: above everything in the room martin the little reflecting pool,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you look down at the water from that perspective and.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You move towards it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Your consciousness meets the water, and you imagine it's spreading
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: out into the water, filling all of the water and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: becoming the water. And for a second, a strange realization
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: passes through your body. You always were the water. You
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: open your eyes, move your hands, and the water moves
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: with them. It streams up out of the pool. It
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: spins around your body with ease. You form it into
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the shape of a little water person and instantly command
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: it to freeze. Then you let it melt again, flow
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: around in circles. Good, kid, Now, water has different states
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of being. Right now, it's liquid, and you just froze
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it into a solid. If you really want to use
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it as a cloud, then you're gonna have to let
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it evaporate and then uh, well, recondance in a slightly
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: different way, like steam or a cloud. You focus on
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the water and you can see that well that it
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: can become many different things. Just as easily as all
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of the little particles can stop moving and freeze in place,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: they can get a little more excited and evaporate. You
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: allow the water to begin to evaporate around you. Steam
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: rises up in the air and starts to fill up
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the entire area around you. Good now, condense it just
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: enough that it becomes a cloud, but not a pool
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of water. Again, with your connection still in the steam
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: around you, you move it around, you pack it together,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: just not as tightly as it was before, and the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: steam condenses into a cute little cloud. Good job, kid,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: that's probably exactly what Tyrannus did to you, though Pep
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: may have used more of an external telekinetic force to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: do it, since I don't think that kid could truly
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: connect with water the way you just have. All right,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: put the water down and let's move on to air.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: You allow the water to flow over the reflecting pool
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: again and then condense it into water and stream it
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: back down.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Well, air is honestly the same sort of thing. The
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: only difference is that it's everywhere. You can command small
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: pockets of air without too much trouble. But if you
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: want to do it on a sort of wider scale
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to truly impact the weather that impacts everyone else, you're
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: gonna have to overcome a lot of collective belief in
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the weather. What do you mean, Well, I mean that
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: most people expect the weather to be the way that
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it is. If a weather man tells them that, hey,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it's going to rain today, then they generally believe it's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: going to rain, and it does. If they believe it's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: going to be windy, then it probably will be. The
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: wind and weather have a sort of natural pattern they follow.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: That pattern can often be predicted using a whole bunch
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: of you know, technical weather things, and as such, there
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: tends to be a lot of collective belief in the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: weather and well believe that it'll do what people expected
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to do. And as much as that kind of belief
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: isn't as strong as a well directed believer like yourself,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it can still be something to get over, to reach
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: into the weather itself, to become one with it, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: to cause it to do things that other people will
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: absolutely not is happening, but won't really believe can or
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: should happen. Well, that's rather difficult, But like anything else,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: as long as you believe that it's happening stronger than
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: other people believe that it's not, you should be fine.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I sort of understand you say, nah, you'll get it eventually.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: As I said, we can work on wind in much
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the same way we did with water. It's just if
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: we want to turn that into like a tornado that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: other people are going to see or something, it's kind
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of a different thing.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Anyways.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: As I said, reaching out to the wind is the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: same as reaching out to the water, possibly easier, honestly,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: because it surrounds you all the time, It enters your lungs,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: it becomes a part of you. So yeah, all you
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: have to do is expand your consciousness and ask it
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to move with you. He demonstrates by moving through the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: air as if he's again performing some sort of martial
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: arts technique. You feel the wind move around with him.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Then the wind blows so strongly that it lifts Martin
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: straight up into the air before placing him down on
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the ground. Ah, you get the picture.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Once again.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You close your eyes, you relax your muscles, your body,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and you focus on that place where you feel perfectly content,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: perfectly happy, and slowly you let go of your ego,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that part of you that knows that you are you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: when you are not the wind. You let go of thoughts,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and you allow your consciousness to drift up into the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: world again to that perspective where you can see Martin
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and yourself and the reflecting pool. But this time, instead
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: of focusing on the water, you focus on the air
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that's all around you, and suddenly you come to the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: realization that wow, air is actually everywhere. Humans are surrounded
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: by air in much the same way that fish are
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: surrounded by water, but it's just so usual that they
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: kind of stop noticing it. You wonder for a second
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: if fish really notice that they're in the water until
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: they're not.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Weird.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: You allow your consciousness to fill the air around you,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to remember that the air is in fact part of
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you in some way, and slowly you open your eyes
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and the wind moves with your body that spins around
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: in circles. It lifts you up into the air and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: gently allows you to fall down. All right, kid, I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: think you've got it now to create a thunderstorm. What
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Tyrneus did was very small scale, I'd say, and I
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: think somebody with your magical ability can do better. As
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I explained, it can be rather complicated to create a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: thunderstorm that people don't expect, because well, their expectation itself
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: has power. But you, kid, you seem to be like
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the type that doesn't really care about those things, the
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: type that figures out how to do it anyways, the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: type that can believe more than everyone else around you.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Act type that should be able to manipulate the weather itself,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: especially in this here magical pocket dimension where you know
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: there's not billions of people who expect the weather to
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: be a certain way. It'll be easier. Here is what
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Grab your flying skateboard thing and let's head
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: up into the sky. With a quick focus of your mind,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you imagine the skateboard of peering out of your pocket
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and flying under your feet. It listens, it shoots out
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of your pocket, out of the little backpack in your pocket,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: expands to its full size, and lands on the ground
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in front of you. You step on top of it
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and feel an almost instant link to the thing. Martin's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: magic carpet flies underneath him and he does the same thing. Together,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: you blast out the main doors of the training facility,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: through the halls of the castle, and out and up
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: into the air above. All right, kid, to create a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: real thunderstorm, you're gonna need to do a couple things first,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and you'll have to gather a large cloud. That means
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: calling the water to you. The water is always present
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: in the air, unless it's like super dry, but it's
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: pretty much always there. Just like a dehumidifier can somehow
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: filter it out of the air. You should be able
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to find it, condense it, bring it together into a
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: large cloud and allow that cloud to start raining down.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Your connection to the wind should allow it to pick
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: up as well. And well you already understand creating paths
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: for lightning. Those three things should create a pretty epic
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: thunderstorm if you ask me. Ah, Okay, you close your eyes,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: floating on your skateboard high above the world, when you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: find that you're still in that correct state, that place
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: where you understand that the wind and the water.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Are all parts of you.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: But this time you expand your consciousness further, not just
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: into a little bit of the air or water surrounding you,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but into the entire area above the magical castle. You
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: grab the water in your mind and you begin to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: condense it from nowhere. Slowly, steam starts to rise up
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: into the world, and you command that steam to move
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: itself together to collect itself into a gigantic cloud. The
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: air continues to produce steam, and as it's created, it
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: moves together until the cloud gets larger and larger, darker
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and darker and darker. Good, now, let's make the wind
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: pick up a little bit for you know, dramatic effect.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: You expand your mind once again, this time into the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: wind surrounding the place the air itself. You command the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: air to go from being relatively calm to a little
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: more excited, to blow through the castle, through the trees,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and you know, generally, just intensify things a little. The
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: more you focus, the stronger the wind blows. You command
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it around in a little circle, a continuous force that
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: pushes against the castle and people below. All right, now,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: maybe add in a couple lightning strikes. You focus on
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: creating a pathway for the lightning as you did before,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and you unleash its power. A lightning strike zips down
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: towards the ground and strikes a tree beside the castle.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Another one hits the ground itself. All right, now, unleash
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the rain. Still allowing the cloud to be a part
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of you, you give it the command to condense to
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that point where it can't hold itself up in the
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: air anymore. Water starts to fall down faster and faster.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: The wind continues to blast, and you continue to direct
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a few lightning bolts, mostly through the air itself, as
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you don't want to do too much damage below. Ah right, kid,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: good job. I'd call this a real thunderstorm. Below you
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: see students and teachers making their way out of the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: castle and looking up but the sky above to see
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: exactly what's going on. Most of them know, well, they
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: know what's going on, since they understand magic and understand
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: that the thunderstorm appeared out of nowhere. As the cloud
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: drains itself of all water, the sun reappears. You let
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: go of your connection to the wind and allow it
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to become still once again, and you and Martin drift
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: back down towards the castle, where you see all of
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the students and teachers staring at you in awe. Why
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: are they all looking at me like this? You ask, Oh,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that's because you just did an incredibly advanced magical technique
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: that most of them will never achieve. Even the teachers
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: haven't really figured it out for the most part. You kid,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: are a bit of a prodigy. Really, yeah, did you
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: really think that most people learn how to create a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: thunderstorm out of nothing in a matter of thirty minutes
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: or so? I mean, come on, on the way back
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: inside on your skateboard, you pass Rexington and his friends.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: They too look rather shocked as you fly by, rather
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: like they might think twice before messing with you again,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Or perhaps maybe not. They don't seem all that smart.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: You make your way back to the training hall and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: jump off your skateboard and look over at Martin. Well, kid,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that's probably enough for one day, he says, as he
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: pulls a tiny little backpack out of his pocket, grabs
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: it with his other hand, spreads them apart, and causes
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the backpack to grow. At the same time, the top
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of it unzips. He climbs inside, steps down a ladder
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that shouldn't really be able to exist, and then the
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: entire backpack just floats up in the air and disappears
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: from existence. You suddenly let out a large yawn. The
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: whole effort of creating a thunderstorm has left to you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: rather mentally exhausted.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: You reach into your own.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Pocket, expand your own backpack with the same gesture, and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: climb inside it. Moving down a ladder, you watch the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: zipper zip above you as you make your way to
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the ground. You laid down in your bed, pull the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: covers up to your chin, and pretty quickly you begin
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to fall asleep. You let go of the tension and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: your muscles. With each breath, you allow yourself to sink
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: down deeper and deeper into the mattress, and with each breath,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you allow your mind to wander off to thoughts of
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: new dreams, new magic, and new adventures to come. Good night, everyone, command.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: The New York Union.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: No no thing, no more mo.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: In New York
