The Elementalist gazed at the robe on the stand. "You are not quite powerful enough yet to wear this but you will be soon." Said Lady Marial as she placed the robe in Sineliniel's arms. The younger Elementalist could feel the power emanating from the robe and it frightened and excited her at the same time. "I hope it serves you as well as it has served me."
"Thank you, Aunt Marial." Sineliniel said with a warm smile. "I am sure that it will."
The robe was beautifully designed. Intricate patterns of the elements were sewn into it. The seams were sewn with mithril thread and the embroidery was done with gold and platinum threads. The robe was also her favorite color, sapphire blue. As she reached out to touch it, she could feel the power of it. Sineliniel felt that she could master the robe. She was, after all, the most powerful Koada`Dal Elementalist for her age. The young maiden took the robe from the stand and put it on. Immediately the energies from the robe entered her body. Sineliniel fought hard to control the sudden influx of power. It took her an hour of constant concentration to force the power of the robe to submit to her. Once the Elementalist had established control, she collapsed to the floor exhausted. It did not matter now, the power of the robe was now hers to control. Sineliniel awoke in her bed, her mother and Marial sitting next to her with concerned looks on their faces.
"Foolish Child!" Scolded Marial. "That robe could have either killed you or made you insane."
"I did it, Aunt Marial." Said Sineliniel weakly. "I mastered it."
Sineliniel fingered the fabric of her robe as she carefully laid it in the box. "It has served me quite well, Aunt Marial, but now it is time to master a new one." Sineliniel looked with pride upon the robe that she had tailored. She could feel the power in it whenever she got close to it. No foolishness this time. The Elementalist knew without a doubt that she was ready for this one. Sineliniel took the new robe from the stand and put it on. The power entered her body but this time she quickly compensated for it and maintained mastery over the power of the new garment. The fight for control was brief and ended as quickly as it began. Sineliniel smiled and sent for Lady Jetamio.
