Perhaps this is a matter better conducted face to face, however given my present situation this is the best alternitive avalible to me for the time being. I have been conducting tests into the feasability of a thing i have been doing to my crops. To put it bluntly I have managed to boost crop yields, through consulting notes my father had on local plantlife, further study on my own part, and the adaptation of two spells I already have at my disposal. Odd that one following my path would be able to manage this I suppose, so allow me to explain.
Plants, and in this instance I reffer to the mundane sort rather than the magicly altered variety, have a life force simmiler to yet different enough from more mobile forms of life. This difference coupled with the fact that such life is orders of magnatude less vibrant makes targeting plantlife difficult. To use an analogy its like attempting to use a sew when all you have is roughly worked wool and a dagger. Its possible, but its terribly terribly difficult. Adapting a spell that generally is intended to sap the life out of animals, magical entities, and other forms of mobile life. To transfer life into the target plant, which is as difficult a target to strengthen as to kill. Yields for these crops have been, as near as I've been able to tell, double what they would be using only mundan methods and while this figure is far less than what a druid would be capible of I figure those of you out there that follow the same path as I would appreciate help when tending your crops be they food, herbs, or whatever.
This is where my prefference for a face to face meeting comes into play. My abilities to scribe spells from memory is sorely lacking and since the modifications to both the spell to draw life from the unwanted plantlife and the spell to transferr that life into the crops I wantwould take, in my estimates, at least a month to teach and ensure that the student has mastery of these changes, it would save much time for all involved if someone could direct me to a suitible teacher.
I can already hear the magicly inclined amongst you ask why would i need further lessons in scribing when the most novice of magic-user knows how to scribe a spell from prepared scrolls to spellbooks. In response I must point out both that copying a spell down from an outside scource is far easier than scribing from memory and since I've made several fundimental changes to both spells involved I'm uncertaint of what changes I would have to make to what has already been established.
