"They weren't born technomages. They would do an apprenticeship with a powerful technomage to learn the skills. And they would get implants. Almost like they were cyborgs. It let them combine technology and biology. They could form a connection with technology, control it with their minds the way we control our bodies. After someone died, they could download information from a brain." Sookie tried to explain.
She couldn't help glancing at his fingers, being distracted by the sparks. All that time with the technomages and she still had her problems with attention. "You kind of look like Adele. I know it's not the same. Maybe she has some tips for you until it goes back to normal."
She focused back on the technomages. "They taught me so much. There's associate, that's what they call bonding with technology like with a space ship or with a computer. Shield, that lets me create a force field around myself. Electron incantation to communicate with people far away. I even tried to reach people on the island, but that didn't work." There was a pause, a moment of sadness before her eye lit up again. "Fireballs and plasma beams. Holo-demons! Shadow skin. Oh, but to understand that, I'd have to tell you about the shadows." Her words were tumbling out excitedly. She couldn't be certain how much of it made sense. "And so much more. Let me show you." She lifted up off the ground, appearing to float in the air. She was actually standing on an invisible platform, but she'd explain that after she got a reaction.
