The way the Ko-Wa looked at her like she was some sort of a massive let down brought bitter feelings to the girl's mind. It reminded her of all the times people stared at her funny like she was no good... 'Hey... what... What is it?' she challenged, her voice was clearer a little softer too, almost like she was gifted with a gentle melodious lilt suddenly. The difference startled her a little, she cleared her throat and tried again. 'What?' the voice remained the same, in fact, it gained some more clarity. It was a bit strange but it seemed to be an improvement from her usual drone.
'You want me to break out in a fit?' Akira asked, raising her eyebrows, wondering what kind of a healer would want to induce an uncomfortable sounding side-effect. Then the thumb approached her, Akira wanted to smack it away, but while she felt quite astute mentally, her physical strength still seemed a bit weighed down... Her reflexes were slow, she'd barely lifted her hand before the thumb made contact and twisted.
It was such an odd gesture... Like someone flicking forehead or something felt a little demeaning for some reason... Her skin wrinkled with the touch, and some more dried blood was dusted off. Akira screwed up her face. 'Oi-' she protested. But her protest was interrupted midway. She felt a gentle warmth radiate from where the finger had touched her, the heat seemed basically limited by a shape... Two shapes, something circular and something sickle-shaped under it... Much like the shapes she had traced with the blood. Akira frowned, that seemed to intensify the sensation, but it was rapidly fading into a less distracting tingle.
Then it happened, just as the lights blew out, it felt like the magic within her, drew her up to a standing stance, picking her up from her chest. Once she was upright, she felt the tingling traverse over her entire body, like the light and darkness within were gently persuading her to... release all this newfound energy. There seemed to be an urgent threat in this persuasion, like if she didn't succumb to the wishes of these magical entities they might turn against her. So she gathered herself and began performing the spells she knew.
First, she raised her arms over her head and down again, using the darkness around her and within, to create a large sphere around herself... It knocked over a few crates that were scattered near her. Next, she interlaced her fingers and managed to channel the light into her, to create two look-alikes... She turned towards one, and noticed it grinning, Akira realized the light clone was just mimicking her expression. 'This is wicked.' Akira said, quite joyfully. She went on casting her basic spells, amused to know that some of them had changed their element alignment to light, instead of dark. While the channelizing wasn't perfect, she was able to hold the spells briefly. Darkness was definitely still more natural to wield, but the light wasn't killing her. She fisted her hands and joined them together to release a pretty wide beam of... light. It made her a little giddy to see the room glowing with her beam.
In quick succession, she tried her other basic spells, destabalize to knock some crates around some more, and disperse to break into small shreds of darkness and materialize in the corner of the room. Feeling a surge of confidence and power, she waggled her eyebrows at the woman who had aided her. 'How do you like this for a fit?' she said, her spell of jovialness quite surprising too... The girl took a few deep breaths, just to not risk wearing herself out, before trying some of the slightly more advanced spells she'd recently trained, wondering which of them would switch elements...

Effect: Akira joins her palms together, interlacing the last two fingers and leaving the first two pointing skywards. Through careful focus, she manipulates the light around her to create mirages, which generate from within her and are after-images of her. She can choose the orientation of the clones while creating them and once created, they will copy all her actions, provided they stay within five meters of her. If the mirages go beyond the five-meter range they instantly vanish. These mirages are just a trick of the light; they do not have any physical form. Therefore, they cannot do any damage. It will cost her 25 mana per mirage and she can make a maximum of three at any instant.
