The man walked to the back of the room and pulled an object from one of the shelves. Jeffery couldn’t make it out in the darkness, but he could hear that it began to emit a low hiss whenever the man held it in his hands.

“This,” said the man, “is a magic sphere made entirely of mist. Whoever holds it in his hands and has the spell of repossession cast on him by a previous “Holder”, as we call them, will gain the powers held inside the sphere. However, they will only be able to access a fraction of the power. They begin with next to no power once the spell is invoked, then over a period of six days, they gain power.

During these initial six days, their powers will show randomly, committing random acts which can be productive or destructive. After the six days are finished, they reach the point where their powers are fully developed and they can finally begin their training, but they only have a period of sixty-six days to complete it before the previous Holder falls into a deep sleep.”
