[She raises her left arm, and he'll see blue marks start to glow. Hard-edged geometric patterns appear from her wrist to her elbow. Her family's crest encompasses the entire arm, but she only needs to fill certain pathways with magical energy for what she's doing.]
This is a Crest. It is both an archive and an organ that gets handed down from heir-to-heir in a mage family. The longer the bloodline lasts the more extensive the crest. These markings hold spells that need only magical energy. Because of this Crest there are spells that I can use without circle or incantation. The spell I will show you today is gandr. Originally a low-level curse meant to cause minor physical ailment in its target to weaken them. However, if you condense and layer the curse you create something much more... dangerous. Now I have great aim, but it's not a precision spell. You shouldn't put yourself in the potential splash-zone.
