When the scroll goes live, it shows Hayate, down near the fountain in the center of town. Today, instead of her fancy blue hat, she's wearing a boater with a yellow feather in the brim.

Her expression is...unusually serious.

"So. I'm Hayate. Most of you know me - I'm the Guardian Angel of Ponyville. In light of recent events - " she doesn't really need to say more than that, does she? " - I am officially putting this out there: I have the capability to instantly teach anyone the magic and fighting skills of my home world."

A pause. Those who know Hayate have probably noticed her tendency to shift her wings about restlessly whenever she isn't talking, but right now they are as still as stones at her side.

"These skills range from increased facility with weapons, to healing spells, to destructive magic. I am making them freely available to anyone that feels they need a method to defend themselves or others."

"Kazing brings the dead back to life."

Pause.

"...I'm not sure if it would work here in Equestria, though."

[kuukai]

No.

[ Flatly. ]

'm not usin'... wait.

[ She takes out a blue soul gem and considers it briefly before putting it away. ]

Yeah. Okay. Gimme that one.

[hattrickery]

As Hayate nods in acceptance, her wings spread wide and her eyes start to glow.

"Kyouko has chosen to walk the path of the Sage!"

Bright light shines down on the pegasus as triumphant music fills the air. The glow in Hayate's eyes fades out and her voice drops to a whisper.

"May you be blessed in your new Vocation."

[kuukai]

Kyouko looks up nonchalantly at the light and music. Then she looks back at Hayate when the other pony's done.

"So tha's it? I can blow stuff up now?" She aims her hoof in a random direction and concentrates.

[hattrickery]

If Kyouko concentrates enough, the name of the spells she can cast will whisper themselves in her ear - Heal and Zam. Zam, of course, is a mass of darkness made electricity - a bullet of dark lightning, as it were.

Hayate will just watch, for now.

[kuukai]

She hears the whispers, and attempts one of the words. "ZAM!"

Fairly straightforward, but not everything needs to be complicated. A bolt of black lightning blasts from her hands, and water erupts out of the fountain. It continues in a chain to a nearby tree, which bursts into flame instantly and becomes a charred wreck.

"Uh." Oops? "... Can I heal that?"

[hattrickery]

Hayate considers the tree.

"...no. Not yet. Hold on a second..."

Taking off, she flies in circles around the tree, trailing fog, which she quickly pushes together into a small cloud. Landing, she looks up at it, nods, and casts a spell.

"Right as Rain!"

Glowing rain pours down on the tree, putting out the fire and restoring it to health.

[kuukai]

... Oh, Kyouko should probably have remembered about the rain. Except, you know. Being a weather pony hasn't really factored into her pegasus-ness much yet.

"So how come ya can do that, huh?" Regarding the spell. "If yer not a Sage, what are ya?"

[hattrickery]

"Right as Rain is one of the intermediate Sage skills, actually; I've just found the regeneration effect sticks around longer if you use it on an actual cloud."

Pause.

"And it's like I've said before - I'm Ponyville's Guardian Angel."

[kuukai]

"Tha's a dime a dozen here." But she's interested. "So can ya, like, do all of it?"

[hattrickery]

"Depends on whether it's classed as a spell or an ability - spells don't carry over between vocations, but abilities do, and I've studied twelve different vocations, so I have a lot of abilities."

[kuukai]

"... useful, I guess." Kyouko flexes her hoof. "Thanks. I gotta get used ta this, I guess."
