>"It was awhile go. They made some kind of doll sort of thing they filled with steam to make it move."
>"It was all over the newspapers and stuff. Anyways, it's the application my research! I wonder if I could help you figure out how to channel your chi?"
>Mentally go over how our expansion spell works.>"First, tell me how you gather and apply your ki?"
>How do we direct the spell to take that specific effect?
>"Hn. What I do is simply gathered the power needed, then direct it with the intention of growing the target. Since it's just you, your qi ought to have no problems."
>Observe. You can do it, Meiling!
>Wait and hope.>Try to sense if we can feel how she is channeling it, and perhaps offer advice.
>"The mushroom ran out. That's alright, keep trying."
>"I may be able to help, but it would hurt..."
>"I am.">Place a string along Meiling's back, where her skin shouldn't be too sensitive. Then see what we can find.
>Trace it; see what she is doing, and what she is doing wrong in particular.
>"I can't explain it in words, but...let me try to show you. Follow my lead.">Direct just a little of her qi to push her magic toward growth, just enough that she ought to be able to feel it, and then replicate it herself.
>Do so, just a little so she can get the hang of it. Try to keep her clothing intact as well.>"Follow my lead."
>Can we see what went wrong?
>Can we explore her qi, and see if it has that kind of potential? Or explore the magic to confirm she lacks the potential?
