Spiritual Weapon

Elidi pulled from her sheath a black and red sword with a large eye on it, Neil froze for a moment as he examined the familiar weapon "Dr .... Draughtbane?!" He blurted out, his memory still a little fuzzy. Elidi nodded and released the sword from her grip and watched as it flew itself into Neils palm. "I don't know how much you remember, but this guy was yours. I know he's been real antsy to get back to you" Elidi chuckled, Neil flew quickly and embraced the aasmiar in a tight hug, "Thank you .." he whispered before releasing her and flying away. The three all smiled at eachother and quickly began to get to work. For the following days Neil was on his own, practicing with his long lost weapon while the rest of the group began to assemble their new army. Kamaria would sit and conjure up hundreds of armor sets, each set she made would then get passed to Elidi who would bless it with Apollo's Light. Once the armor set was blessed, Augustus took it and passed it over to one of the large skeleton warriors. They all trained their fighting and magic tirelessly up until the night before the big battle. Elidi walked past Kamaria's room and saw her still awake, reading from a large and dusty book. She sauntered into the room and sat down on the floor beside her, "What are you doing? You really should be getting your sleep" Elidi questioned as she peered over at the large pages. Kamaria sighed and threw her head into her hands, "Oh Elidi! I can't do it!" She exclaimed, feeling defeated. Elidi furrowed her brows, "Wha-? What do you mean?" She responded. Kamaria shook her head and pointed down at the pages before her, the page on the left read "SPIRITUAL WEAPON" and the page on the right read "CELESTIAL FORM". "These! I ... I can't do them ... I've been trying so hard and I just ... I can't do them! Selûne has not been coming to help me and I just don't know what to do! What if I'm not ... a real aasmiar?" Kamaria expressed as she felt her hands began to shake and her vision become blurry with tears. Elidi took the book off the younger girls lap and walked towards her moon staff beside her bed. "Here. We're going to do spiritual weapon. First, take your staff, ok?" Elidi said, passing the staff to Kamaria. Elidi nodded and continued, "Good, now clasp your hands around it tight, tighter than you've ever grasped it before, and envision your spiritual weapon. It should be the first thing image that forms in your head when you begin to focus" she explained, Kamaria nodded in response and closed her eyes. She felt a rush of energy flow from her arms to her palms and into her staff as she kept envisioning her weapon. A bright light emitted from the staff and almost instantly the long handle of the staff shrank and the entire staff split in two. Opening her eyes, Kamaria saw that in each hand rested identical sickle with the blades in the shapes of sharp crescent moons. The blades were a dull grey while the handles were pure black and on the end of the handles were small blue luminous stones. "I did it! I did it! Thank you so much, Elidi! Now show me Celestial Form!" Kamaria exclaimed as she began to jump with joy. Elidis face dropped at the girls last remark, "I'm sorry, dear. Thats not a spell I can teach"
