[video forever]
[Seren appears on screen, grinning brightly. You can practically hear her vibrating with excitement.]
I think I've figured it out. "It" being an idea I've had. You see, dueling magic is better for long range, but it's so easy to get cornered in events. And since I'll never be a big old brawler-- [She flexes one arm. It's got more muscle than it used to, but it's still rather slight.] --I thought maybe I could combine the two. And what better place to start than lighting something on fire?
[Her eyes gleam as she lifts up her left fist and, with a muttered word and a flick of her wand, sets it aflame from the wrist up. As she proceeds to jam her wand into her pocket, she doesn't even flinch at the flames licking at her hand. Yet, when she introduces a slip of paper into the fire, it lights right up.]
Brilliant, eh? This took some work, let me tell you. [Seren tosses the paper aside and stamps it out off screen, then uses her wand to douse the flame.]
Now, the issue is that in a fight, you don't want to have your hand on fire all the bloody time, so what I' working on now-- and what I think I've mastered --is rapidly transitioning between on and...er, off fire. You get the idea. So, for an in-action demonstration...
[Seren squares up and lifts both hands like a boxer ready to throw a punch. Her wand held in her dominant right hand, she raises her arm to throw a left hook, simultaneously shifting her wand to aim at her hand and shouting the charm she'd created. And it works! Her hand lights up and she throws a flaming punch at her imagined enemy.
...Except apparently her charm isn't configured quite right. Because as she pulled her arm back to throw the punch, the spell hit just in time to kindle a fire in the ends of her hair.
Not that Seren immediately notices. She's grinning into the camera, proud of her work, when her face falls and she realizes where that sudden heat is coming from.]
--SHIT.
[Seren fumbles with her wand and quickly douses the fire, but not fast enough to keep her hair from getting pretty decently singed. She holds up the ends and pouts at them before glancing back at the camera.]
Well, it could have gone worse.

Remind me never to give you a flamethrower.

[Plus she's pretty sure she just threw flames a bit anyway, so she can probably figure whatever it is out.]

[Like the one she died during. She changes the subject, quickly.]
Wonder why I haven't seen any yet.

My God, you've got to be more careful! Are you alright? Sorry, it's-- that was rather hilarious, but-- really, are you hurt?

I'll be fine. Hair smells a bit, though. Wasn't intending to get a haircut today.
[Then, a bit more confidentially:]
Did it look that bad?
