Mojo would see Nen had been trying to pick up everything with her Psyonic powers to practice and right now she was raising a particularly heavy watering can to tip over and water some plants which were attached to a window on her GMS. It was her biggest item yet and she was shaking it as she concentrated. Pouring the water into the plants with great control.

Mojo would watch as Nen did so, Moji in his lap and staff in his hand. He was quite impressed with her progress for so little time. Nen was indeed a good student, a very determined one at that. Mojo would wait until she finished watering the plants to speak up. Well, for a given definition of 'speak', anyway.
'You are progressing well Guardian Nen. Soon I can teach you the more powerful form of Telekinesis, though that will have to wait until you can more consistently move large objects. In the meantime, we can work towards your telepathy, if that is alright?'

The watering can faltered and clanked to the ground with a loud bang. Spilling all its contents.
She had tried to listen to what mojo was saying and her concentration had to be split to do that. She rubbed her temples to relax the tension of using the new muscles and widening the new pathways of that power.
“You know certainly I could use a break on lifting things.” She breathed relaxing breaths. “Oh by the way you remember that book you skimmed through on the different types of Magic right? Did anything pique your interest? At least to see where to start.”

Mojo's own psionic powers would catch the watering can and water as Nen's grip faltered and released, returning the latter into the former and gently setting the can on the ground properly. Multi tasking was a skill that took time and Mojo partially cheated through having an enhanced brain.
'Conjuration and Evocation have my interest the most, at least for now. Conjuration, if asked to pick one, for a number of reasons, not least of those being a study of Majin creation. Which I suppose has even more relevance with Miji here. But I also believe Conjuration can lead to a number of useful applications, especially in item crafting as you so fondly make use of. Do try to reply non-verbally, Guardian Nen. You need the practice and you can already feel where your psionic energy is; telepathy is actually less power intensive then telekinesis, although requiring finer control. For now, try attempting to broadcast your thoughts as a reply to me.'

She nodded to him about a silent thank you for the watering can. She was trying to mentally say so but that might not have come through just yet. She was working on her concentration for this particular skill of telepathy. It was easier when mojo already made the connection but it wasn’t like she ever ignited the tie to him and she had to find that.
She gripped the stone in her hand and channeled her Magic through it to create the energies that would light this pathways.
“Evocation… conjure…” she breathed as mojo was getting a up and down signal from her voice as it was. She had to take another calming breath and close her eyes to lock out all other distractions.
Both are not easy…. to use but it makes some sense… for you show interest in them.” She brought forth to him more clearly.

Mojo noted Nen's use of the stone to help bolster her, but didn't comment. The eventual goal was to no longer need it as a crutch, but everyone learned at their own pace; he was not going to rush her.
'Quite. However I feel I will be able to develop quite well in Conjuration if not Evocation. As I have demonstrated amply, my ability to dedicate my focus and to focus in general is rather high. And you know now that power requirements I can work with, considering what is within me.'
Mojo spoke of his Android core, though admittedly the Dragon Ball would count at this point.
'Tell me from your perspective what it is like to use Conjuration, Guardian Nen. Both in terms of mental focus and how to mold the energy required.'

“Understanding.” She started. “What are you conjuring? What is it made of? And everything it needs to be as well as a clear and precise description of what it needs to accomplish. Knowing the conjured as well as you know yourself is crucial.”

Mojo would nod, listening intently. That made sense; knowing the make-up of what you called forth was probably vital to ensure you didn't screw up and conjure something completely different. Or an abomination. And keeping the purpose of what you conjure forth in mind would help your focus. But that was merely item creation. And also an incomplete explanation.
'And as for molding the energy into what you desire? Again, from your perspective please. I do have additional questions, to help myself learn and to give you further practice with this method of communication. As I am a telepath as well, you can actually broadcast more then just words and I will be able to pick it up.'

She exhaled and sat down. “I need a moment to take a break from the telepathy to explain that. There is a lot.”
“I conjure things from my ring.” She showed him. “It’s something most kaioshin receive eventually. It’s much like your stone it gives me a channel to draw my energies and create things.”
“Now the more complex the things you make the harder it will be of course. And I can’t make anything which would really be considered alive. Usually I take a mineral or element which suits my needs and concentrate on the composition of them to create them. Some mortals use graphs which are encircled in the instructions to create the being they need.”
She pointed to the head of her GMS. “What you asked me about in there was my studies to understand what makes up and forms many different minerals and sediments to help me eventually create or manipulate the landscapes of this world. It’s a lot like that.”

Mojo would listen intently to Nen's description. She had her own focus to use? Interesting. Majin could their own bodies as a focus, his studies had found, but it seems it may be harder for others depending on their goal.
'I see. So that is the creation branch of Conjuration. What about the other branches? I now recall that reshaping the world naturally is a branch of Conjuration, which seems to be related to your studies and feats of creation. How about movement? Teleportation, portals, and such like?'

“Some of that branches into more Evocation and Divine Powers.” Nen said. “If I were to move or create anything this world needs I could do it with Conjuring it or I can create it with sheer magical will. That’s an example of evocation. The difference being is if i essentially summoned it or brought forth the energy around me to force it into realization. As you can imagine that’s incredibly more difficult.”
“Divine powers in their truest form are welcomed to be used by divine touched or chosen but that can involve a more manipulated form of nature in its essence. Examples include Divination, healing powers, a form of telekinesis, and even dealing with life and afterlife as the diviner wills it.” She explained.

Mojo would nod at that. It seems there was quite a bit of crossover between Evocation and Conjuration. However Mojo needed to clarify something.
'So teleportation of oneself and opening short range portals are also Divine? Or is there more leeway for "lesser" manifestations of magic transportation?'

Nen pondered on that one. “I think it has more to do with your source. So if you use psyonics you’re using it on your own strength and will. Drawing from a Divine power source may cause it to act differently. I didn’t really study some of this in depth in my preparation for becoming guardian so I’m kind of guessing on that one.”

Mojo would nod at that before spinning his staff to point at Nen.
'Back to telepathy. Only way to become accustomed to it is practice. You have questions of your own for me yes? Ask them in this way.'
Even as he spoke, Mojo focused on feeling and molding the magical energies his body emanated, so as to continue practice doing so. While he would leave his body strengthening to Ki, any other ability save his psionic specific ones would be better served using magic as a catalyst. With that in mind, he needed to focus on becoming used to molding magic as easily as he did the other two energies easily available to him.

She chuckled at his strict mentoring, if she were some Divines they’d consider his tone an audacity. But this was her friend and he like most mortals had knowledge that she looked over after four thousand years. “I am humbled by your skill and dedication to the psyonics and your diligence in showing me.”
She focuses with the stone a moment more to continue and she would speak telepathically. “Let’s start with small talk… something that wouldn’t require much thinking…”
Just to warm her up. “What color appeals to you most?”
