Zirani didn't teach me any more new techniques, instead opting to help me improve the techniques I already knew and refine them. I'd been disappointed at first, but then she'd explained that new techniques needed to be taught at the right time and not all at once as that could overwhelm an arcanist and cause things like indecision during a battle, not to mention it was straining on a person's body at lower levels, manipulating aether into many different patterns, not to mention the fact she was already hesitant to teach me new techniques since my foundation wasn't complete. The way she was currently going about things was due to our situation. If we hadn't been in the middle of a war she would have taught in the way she actually wanted rather than this mimicry as she put it.
