You are a Kobold who is a visionary, always thinking ahead to how you can further advance your society towards prosperity. You're also very handsome and cool! Some might consider your choices over the coarse of your leadership to be questionable, such as worshipping a dark pagan deity of bloodshed and hedonism, but they're wrong, you make the best choices. That's why you're currently sitting next to a robed midget who's obsessed with frogs to learn how funny plant magic works.

Really in general the witch is pretty pleasant for a human, doesn't seem to care much about most things besides her frogs and own entertainment. She instructed you before on how enchanting works, but spell casting is a whole other thing. The blood magic you preform is mostly a religious thing, calling on the power of a deity. Half and half we'll call it...

"Visualize the currents of power and touch upon them. Not physically." She knocks your hand with her staff as you start making vague gestures. "With the sixth sense. Mana is not a physical item." Her instructions only barely help in a subject that is not easy to describe. You sort of get the basics though?

"Yes, yes, I... See it? Feel it. Now what?" Sure you see what she means... Mostly.

She points at a small sprout of a plant in the wet mud, placing an open journal with some intricate imagery and patterns on it "Influence it. Focus the ambient power and your own and make something happen. Practice and measured intent are good, but personal influence is the most important." How informative. You feel something though, this can be changed.
