Rosco's jaw dropped. "That's...amazing! I've never seen something like that!" He rushed over to Tash's side to survey his hands. "How in the world did you just do that?"
"It's really quite simple. You can probably do it too," Tash said convincingly as he scoped out a couple runes from his pouch. "Here, try it with these." He placed some air and mind runes onto Rosco's eager palms. "It's a very simple spell so it shouldn't require much magical effort. Just clap your hands together." He took a step back and motioned Rosco to go on and try.
Rosco nodded and took a deep breath. He calmed the jitters running through his limbs and relaxed his composure. His hands rose to chest level facing the river, and swung inwards then back out as the ball of air forced his hands apart to release itself into the open waterfront. The jitters quickly shot back through Rosco’s body as he witnessed with glee his magic work.
"I can't believe I was actually able to do that!" exclaimed Rosco. He began to examine his palms and the backs of his hands; the feeling that the escaping spell had made still resonated in them. "It's as if the space in between my hands was just pushed outward!"
Tash placed a hand on Rosco's shoulder. "It is rather interesting. I've spent the past seven years of my life collecting and experimenting with these little things."
"I gotta' admit, I was kinda' lost when you started explaining this to me, but now that I've done it myself, it's like a whole new thing!" Rosco tilted his head back to look at Tash. "What exactly have you found out about these things over all the years?"

Tash pointed behind them to his tent. "Did you see all those papers in the back of my tent?" Rosco replied with a nod. "A majority of those have different spells scribbled all over them. They've all got specific rune measurements, how much magical force is needed to make it work, what the spell actually does, how effective it can be in particular situations, theories on how to expand upon them." He sighed and put his free hand to his face as he tipped it back. "The world of runes and magic appears to be nearly endless. I'm not even sure if we’ve found all of the existing rune stones."
Rosco(f) collapsed to the ground with his face to the sky. The sky was a smooth, bright blue and the sense of morning was almost already gone. "This is all just so crazy." Tash's attention focused on his lounging partner. "I mean, it feels like I'm still asleep. I've spent nearly my whole life completely clueless of these things' existence." His eyes squinted as a ray of sunlight caught them. "Living with wolves out in the forest doesn't really involve you with a lot of the happenings around towns, especially with the closest one being that Fremennik town. They're really not gonna' have a clue when it comes to this magic stuff."
Tash bent his knees to get closer down to Rosco. "Well you’ve certainly got that right." He looked over in the direction of the sun with a hand over his eyes like a visor. "Those Fremenniks never really seemed like the type to be experimenting, or liking them for that matter. According to some talk about history I've picked up on my travels, the humans discovered runes and their secrets a long while back. The little stones gave them quite the edge when it came to battles for territory, but most barbarian tribes rejected the use of runes altogether. I think it's a mix of my curiosity and my mysterious natural talent with magic that draws me to them."
