Well...

As you slowly sat up your aunt Sadie continued. “Nathan normally when someone uses Mana it takes the shape or form of whatever spell they are using right?” You nodded confirming what you had learned from your first classes with the twins.

“Well when wizards draw out their raw mana usually their mana is blue or in some bloodlines a different color for instance the Koch family has green mana because their mana is more dense then normal blue mana however your mana was a different color.” Your aunt Sadie said nervously.

“Why are you acting so nervous all of a sudden aunt Sadie so its just means I am different from other wizards I have always been outside the norm whatever it is I am sure its not that bad.” You said nonchalantly.

Aunt Sadie frowned she had forgotten that your upbringing had been anything but orthodox and unlike your peers you had grown a skin thicker then any child should ever have, being an outcast had molded you into something unique, something completely different.

“Your right I always forget your not the little boy I saw so many years ago.” Your Aunt said as she looked out the window. “When they began extracting your mana it wasn’t blue it was a dense violet color something the Ministry of Science hasn’t even heard of. Ma, Mr. Wilson and his son were the only ones who witnessed it but I need you to be careful Nathan because things like this can often draw unsavory characters to you if you know what I mean.”

You only nodded before arms wrapped you from behind. “Sadie! Nathan! come on supper’s ready don’t make me come over there!” Your grandma shouted from the dining room. You slowly got up from the couch and smelling the good food you soon raced to the dining room.

Hours later

You stood still shouldering the Winchester rifle aiming for the target a 50 feet away from you. Bang, click, bang, click, bang, click, bang, click bang, click went the rifle before lowered the rifle having spent your rounds.

As you walked over to the paper target you looked it over smiling. While you hadn’t hit dead center yet at least you hit the outer most ring. After dinner your uncles had handed you a spare rifle with your Uncle Ted showing you how to aim and shoot while your Uncle Andrew should you proper breathe and shooting techniques to refine your aim even more.

You still had a long way to go and but after seeing your Uncle Andrew shoulder his level action and fire five shots landing dead center on the center ring you soon set about practicing. You set up a new target before you began loading more rounds into the rifle. Soon you were ready and set about the task firing again and again. As the sun began to set you headed home rifle in hand. Hopefully you could get the hang of this because as soon as you were accurate your aunt Sadie promised to show you how to cast spells with and without actual bullets.
