Ricky kept his own Res close to him as he watched the projectile water move freely through the air between them now, in the short matter of time it had covered the distance there wasn't much space left for Clyde to react with now. Of course he was already prepared for this, prepared enough to have made his own Res capture the projectile in perfect time to coordinate swift and easily executed attraction. For a moment it seemed as though the water had developed a mind of it's own, and in turn swirled around the center of the force it had been attracted to as Clyde commanded the sphere to his own will once more.
Such flawless technique! To other mages or wizards that were more advanced than Ricky this would've likely been nothing, but to Ricky himself this was an amazing force to be reckoned with. To think that such power could hold sway over the elements so easily, and in turn submitted to your own will to be subjected how you may choose. That was power. Power that Ricky wanted yet feared to have in his possession, because such power was what made a man lose himself to the temptations of the power's own darker nature. He needed to learn though, to practice and control the power he was given. How else was the fisherman to serve as a guardian for the city?
"So t'inkin' much like combat wise applies f'r castin' magic t', only t' a certain extent t'ough." He noted aloud so that his teacher would be aware that Ricky had a strong grasp at the concept now, it was certainly easier to consider the momentum now, seeing as how he'd been given both lesson and hands on experience. "De zone o' control? Dat's where Oi lose me ability t' 'old ont' me Res den, Oi felt it not but a moment ago when Oi sent forward de water." It made sense to him now, since he more or less learned what this zone of control was, and how it'll more or less expand with further practice. Ricky could only watch in amazement with how the water seemed to float about and levitate, the will behind Clyde's intent quite noticeable upon his display of control from just a moment ago.
"Oi gotta admit Oi've actually learned quite a lot t'day, somet'in Oi didn't expect but all de same welcome." He complimented to Clyde in terms of teaching, since the scholar did after all provide the lesson for him. He could only wonder what came next though, did Clyde seem to think the lecture at a good stopping point? Or was there something more to the lesson he wanted to teach? Ricky couldn't even guess really, he could only wait to hear what the man had to say next.
