A demonstration of Tracing

You step forward and pick up the stick first. "Reinforcement allows me to trace and understand the structural components of an object and make them stronger." You say, closing your eyes. "Trace, on." Your chant drives the hot Mana spoke down your spine, exciting Berserker. "Grah, grah!" She points at you and bounces in place as you reinforce the stick. You then swing the stick as you would your Kendo stick and proceed to hit a nearby brick.

Instead of the stick breaking, it is the brick which crumbles under the force of the reinforced stick. Sakura nods and makes a note to have Archer formally train Shirou on swordplay. This could be an asset. Without revealing her plan, Sakura smiles, "Wow, that was great Senpai!" "Rawr!" Berserker bounces in joy, smiling broadly and showing you her shining white teeth. Rin maintains her trademark scowl.

You move over to the broken heater unit. "Isn't that the old heater Issei asked you to fix a week ago?" Rin inquires. You turn your head to her, "Sure is. By tracing I can analyze the structural components, understand the origin and reproduce the history, and quickly repair the problem."

You sit down by the heater and place your hands on both sides of the cold metal surface. You close your eyes and chant the words to begin your mantra. "Trace, on. Analyzing components...." Berserker's eyes widen and she's on you in a flash.

Caster holds Berserker's enthusiasm back. "Patience. Interrupting him may cause him harm." "Rawrrr..." Berserker growls in response, settling down in Caster's arms. "Fault found.' you state as the heater reveals it's innermost, intimate workings to you. "Reinforcing wiring. Trace complete." You open your eyes and remove your hands from the heater. You then set the igniter and the heater flames to life.

Caster releases the eager Berserker. "Rawr!" She exclaims happily, rushing over in-between you and the heater. She smiles at youas she gently graps your hands in her tender lace covered hands. She lifts your hands up to the golden fins on the side of her head and places your hands on the cold metal. "Rawr. Rawr." She intones with a similar tone and cadence to Trace On as she hopefully looks into your eyes.
