Summers house…………..Basement.

Matt and Willow are sitting down in the basement one night, Matt is about to start to teach a magic lesson to Willow. They each are sitting in a couple of bean bag chairs a few feet apart. In between them was a book, and several different objects of different sizes. Willow is looking over the stuff in front of her and then looked up at Matt and said, "Hey Matt, before we start this lesson, I just want to understand, why this type of magic is different then other types of magic?"

Matt looks at Willow and thinks for a minute before answering. "Well, the first difference is that Elvin magic does not need any kind of ingredients. Plus with Elvin magic the rules that apply to it are very important. With it there are also guidelines in its use."

Willow looks at Matt then asks, "Please tell me again what are the rules and guidelines?"

Matt picks up the book which is Willow's Elvin spell book and looks at it while he starts to talk. "Well first the rules. One, You never use this magic against a human. The only type to use on humans is the healing spells. You do not use attack magic's to harm a human. Rule number Two. Never use it in anger. Third, no one that doesn't know the truth should ever be allowed access to your spell book. Even know that the book is written in Elvin, they could still harm themselves or others accidentally."

Willow nodded her head showing that she understood what Matt was saying.

Matt then continued, "Elvin magic can be very useful when it is used correctly. It can heal any wound short of death. It can sometimes make everyday things easy or sometimes it can make them harder. You can use Elvin magic for just about anything, but there are more rules in its use. One, Whatever you do, never mess with time." At Willow's questioning look Matt continued. "If you don't know what you are doing with any type of time magic you could accidentally mess up the time stream. And that is a very big no-no. Even I don't mess with time itself, but I do a type of phasing magic, which is a high level type of magic. Two, when using Elvin magic, be careful if you channel to much it will tire you out."

Willow shook her head then said, "The reason that I wanted you to go over that again was that I wanted to make sure my decision to have you teach this to me was the right one. Because before, the magic was starting to overcome me. It was like a drug, and it was like I could never get enough. It was because I started to misuse it that Tara left me. I am not mad at her, hell I am still in love with her but it is now more like the love me and Buffy have, the love of best friends. I still don't know what she will say when she finds out that I am starting to use magic again."

Matt smiled then said, "Willow, you don't have to worry if she says anything have her come and talk to me.
