First she would need to expand her magic. It needed to be bigger. It needed to be more pure. It needed to reflect her own desire to save this world. She closed her eyes and pushed more magic into her hand. The flame grew in size but it flickered back to the original size. The girl slowly chuckled at the realization that she was probably bad at magic.

With the flame in the air, she clenched her arm and focused on the flame. She pushed magic into her palm which made the flame grow and she tried to keep the flow steady. Despite her efforts, she could feel her magic flow wavering. She knew this was something she could do before. She could remember... only all she could remember was the cold. Was there not as much validity to her perceived skill with the holy flames? Tempris let out a sigh and dispel the flame in her hands. She needed some fresh air and maybe some sun.

The girl grabbed her sword, it was all she needed for training. As Even if she did not want to completely be reliant on it, she did want to make sure her magic would not interfere with her proven fighting style. Resting the sword on her shoulder, she held her free hand out and lit another holy flame. She focused on keeping the flame a little bit bigger than what it naturally formed as and walked out the guild. Most people in the guild tended to stay away from her and a open holy flame was more than a good enough excuse to do so.

Now it was time to work on her mana. She pulled back from her inner flame which glowed and burned with determination and devotion and now looked at her body as a whole. She looked for her magic, her divine gift. It was kind of hard since it was so nature to just use it. To have to realize it exist not as her blood but as a tool or a limb, it required some more prayer. Enough prayer that it would not take the same minute it took for her to completely relaxed her heated flaming heart.

It was very hard. She could feel a small warmth coming from her hand as a tiny flame formed. She was so attuned to using her magic this way that, well, it was more of her base than anything else. Pure mana from her body willed to be the Holy Flames of Illumin. She willed all things she did to be dedicated to Illumin, especially her magic. However, being pure magic was an important step to improving her magic. It was so important.

Tempris held out her hand and then she summoned her holy flame of Illumin. It was a small flame, as normal. Then she clenched her forearm and had the flame grow. It did not grow too big but it grew enough so that she could notice it was bigger. Then she focused on her mana and kept it smooth. She was no genius but she knew with enough devotion, she could finally complete her objective.

The light was so warm on what skin she allowed to open up to the light. The flame remained in her hand, but Tempris felt the urge to feel more support from her god. So she lowered her veil so so that her hair would be free to dance in the air and soak up the sunlight. Her flame flickered again but she was able to remain diligent. Even as the cool heretical breeze nipped at her ears and neck. She maintain her composure. She maintain her focus. And with that, her objective was completed. She had shown that she could control her magic. If anything, she realized something else.

So after finding a space. She clasped her hands together and envision a flame, a holy flame covering the world. Envisioning something was the first step in making a magic work after all. Then she imagined Illumin granting her the power to separate sin from the pure souls of the world. This was it. She held her hands up in the air and spawn a large holy flame between them. Then she pumped magic into it so that it could grow as big as possible. This was it.

Tempris felt her energy sudden sap. She wasn't an Ashflare. She was... something else now. The daughter of the guild master, Karisa. The thoughts pulled away Tempris's focus causing the massive holy fireball to shrink and minimize. Then it flickered as the amount of energy being pushed into the creature remained the same. For it to remain at this size, it only needed magic power, something the girl clearly had. Thus it chaotically illuminated the area and hovered over her hand radiating its warmth.

If she had to describe the effect of her small fireball of holy light, She would say it simply covered a small one meter area in diameter for its explosion. The fireball itself was only .25 meters in its dimension. It was clearly a weak spell. Something she would not dare attempt to cleanse someone with. It would be an insult not only to her, but to the poor souls.

The holy fireball whizzed through the air slowly shrinking and exploding in brilliance as holy Flames bathed the ground in an 1 meter diameter area. This was a lot better, but it was still unacceptable. The spell was vastly underpowered. She knew she could do better. She knew she could hit harder.

The girl once again how about her hand and spawn a flame from it.This Flame flickered uncontrollably like a torch under storm except bad weather was not what was tampering with its glow. It was instead the girl's desperation and desire to be better than what she was that made the magic uneasy. Despite this the magic answered the girls desires and grew. The girl then fired it off into the distance. This holy fireball whizzed through the air and exploded like the other ones but anymore grandeur release of energy. Her eyes lit up at the progress.

But this holy fireball was still not still not enough. She needed more power. She dreamed of something vast that would cleanse the battlefield. If she was surrounded by a mass of sinners like when she was in Bosco, she wanted to save herself the time in the middle of battle.

She held up her hand up over her head. She fueled her magic into the blazing holy energy. But it was not growing any bigger. She looked confused. She was able to bulk up the magic before. What was the difference now? She clenched her teeth and tried to forced more magic out. Her flame flickered violently but it was not growing. She dropped the flame in front of her, while shouting. Angry took over the girl’s mind as she watched her surroundings get engulfed in Illumin’s brilliance. The heat from her holy flames hugged her, comforting her damaged pride.
She was able to take a deep breath and watch her dancing holy flames die into ember. It was then that she realized the key thing she was missing. She clasped her hands and closed her eyes. A soft prayer left her lips.

Her mind relaxed, focus on her devotion. It was what saved her. It brought her peace. It is what gave her existence reason. Though she was young and made mistakes by letting her emotions get the better of her, she could always turn to Illumin for guidance. Her boiling blooded simmered and she could feel her mana. It flowed steadily inside of her and she mentally practiced push her mana calmly into her hands. Focus was what she needed to push pass brute magical power. Condensing her magic into a large ball of fire was the goal. So with her mindset set, she broke her clasp.
Then the girl pointed her hand outward and a large fireball formed in front of her. The fireball grew bigger and bigger, forcing the girl to raise her hand into the air. The ball was so big, there was no way she could control it at this size. She would need the ability to fly or be as tall as a giant to use the spell like this. This was a successful proof of concept but it was no good like this. So she dropped it. And the whole area was covered in holy flames.

She picked up her sword, holding it with two hands. Then she prepared to attack. Mana channeled through her hands. Then she moved her hands, swinging her sword. Her magic flew into the air and a magic circle surrounded her. Then the area exploded into holy flames. This was it. This was what she was looking for in an attack. This leave of care onto the land. This loving warmth. Now it was time to move forward.
