[Tentatively, Lily swings around the ball of fabric a bit, not too forcefully.]

Doesn't it hurt if you hit something though? [Neither of the Weapons she had used before were meant for physically hitting things so she wasn't sure about this point.]

[obimycommands]

Not particularly, unless thou hitteth something that damageth the fabric - and I'm sturdier than most.

Though this be the easiest way to wield me, mine power is in the various weaves.

[vintage_magic]

Do you not feel much in this form then? [Maybe because fabric was usually inanimate?]

[And she's still swinging around the obi, getting used to it although she doesn't try to hit anything yet.]

Are the weaves difficult to learn? What's the easiest one?

[obimycommands]

I do feel, but pain is not as direct as it would be in mine human form - or else I'd hardly make a good weapon, would I?

Probably the Spiral Weave or Shield Weave. They have the widest application anyway.

[vintage_magic]

I guess you have a point. But warn me if I'm accidentally hurting you, okay?

[Shield Weave sounds pretty explanatory but...] What's the Spiral Weave and how does it work?

[obimycommands]

Believe me, thou wouldst be the first to know if I were being used improperly.

[She waves the end of the obi a bit in a spiraling motion]

It be like a drill - curl the length of the obi into that shape.

[vintage_magic]

Like a drill? Can you actually pierce through things like that? [She sounds uncertain as she tries to imitate that spiraling movement. Even if Kiriha's Weapon form was tougher than ordinary cloth, it still wouldn't be sharp enough to cut through things, right?]

[obimycommands]

Of course! Well, not things like metal, and stone be a tough one, but against most foes it be dangerous enough.

[Kiriha guides the obi into a drill-shape more or less. She might have to just show Lily what to do first though]

[vintage_magic]

Really? One doesn't generally think of fabric as being sharp.

[In her mind, Lily tries to imitate what Kiriha is doing but the obi starts to resemble a curly noodle more than the intended drill shape.]

[Sheepishly] I think I need some help with this...

[obimycommands]

Hmm, perhaps I should show thee first...

[With a poof, she disappears from Lily's arm and reappears as a person before her, two lengths of obi coming from her back. She easily curls them into the drill forms]

Like this!

[vintage_magic]

[Kiriha makes it look easy and it helps to have a visual reference but...]

Is there a trick for the process of curling them like that or do I just imagine how it should look in the end?

[obimycommands]

More the latter, I think. Thou just hath to simply... do it!

[vintage_magic]

[Lily gestures to one of the drill shapes.] So, if I concentrate on this shape in my mind, the obi will start to form it? That sounds simple enough. Is it the same with that Shield Weave you mentioned before?

[obimycommands]

More or less. Though thou must understand how the weave is formed and where the obi must go to form it. The Spiral Weave is fairly simple, but thou must have a sense of the woven pattern for the shield.

[Which she demonstrates]

[vintage_magic]

I see.

[Lily watches how the obi moves but despite the witchy crafts she sometimes does, she's never tried weaving and she's not sure if she's completely got it.]

...Um, could you do that again but a bit slower?

[obimycommands]

Of course. [She repeats it again, at least slow enough to show how they go over and under - it's pretty simple, actually]

The biggest matter be speed and accuracy. It needs to be tight to be strong.
