Vioroll hesitated for just a moment. "War is not just two armies clashing on a battlefield. War is conflict. All conflict. The world is conflict, and the life is conflict. War was once life, and that is why we are what the Life angels became. War is passion. War is envy. War is love. War is hate." The speech sounded somewhat rehearsed, but for all that, it did sound like something he actually believed. "War is pride. War is life, and war is emotion. Death is the price that is payed for the realization of what we are. A being is most alive when in battle, when their next move could be their last, and only their passion and skill will see them through." He looked at her, getting slightly into the speech. "War is not merely the din of battle, but the scheming of politics, the dances of romance, and a thousand other things that intertwine all our lives."

He paused for a moment, letting himself calm down. "Control, then, is the power to shape the war. The rulers of War are the rulers of conflict, and can direct it through their magic. I can control animals, but more importantly can use this power to gain information. Information which gives the advantage in both battle and politics. My sister can control beings with her puppetry, but also magic itself. This is a deadly tool in battle, but it also demands obedience from individuals, allowing her to direct the flow of lives, directly or indirectly. Your power will follow the same principle." He looked down at his hands. "The first thing you must learn is that all leaders started as pawns to someone else. Your aunt and I were both in your position with our father, then our mother. They were in the same position to the Angel kings. And they were in the same position to the gods. Even the gods are bound by their natures."

"Your position, therefore, is not unusual. And...honestly, you're better prepared to assume the throne than my sister was when she took power." He rolled his shoulder slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. "There is one more aspect of war, and I think it applies to you better than the rest. Life is conflict. Struggling against the difficulties of life can also be considered war. Control magic, then, is about manipulating the world around you, be it people, animals, or nature itself, so that you can overcome the challenges life sets before you."

He rose a hand, and a rune appeared in the air. It was a common rune to see in Katakarthia, since his brands were meant to spread over time. "You said that you spent your entire life as a pawn. That is important, because you need to understand the helplessness and lack of control Control magic inflicts on the target. Every one of us who has mastered this power started as a pawn of something else. You need to understand exactly what your magic takes from another being, or it will not work. Mine uses the senses of beasts, but also can steal their wills. My sister enslaves their bodies, and can even bind the elements themselves when it suits her."
