\Glspl{miracleworker} create spells by taking a basic spell, and adding \textit{Enhancements}.
-A young elf might begin being able to cast the \textit{Mist} spell.
-She focuses for a moment, and a small patch of mist forms where she looks.
-She can cast it a few times before feeling tired, but if she pushes it any further she'll end up feeling sick for weeks.
-After some years of practice, she learns to modify her spells in a few ways.
-She can make \textit{Colourful Mist} appear in red, green or blue, or cast a \textit{Wide Mist} over a small area, obscuring the view in half a room.
-She can also cast a \textit{Fast Mist}, which appears instantly.

+ A young elf begins exploring her magical abilities with the \textit{Mist} spell.
+ She focuses for a moment, and a small patch of mist forms where she looks.
+ She can cast it a few times before feeling tired, but if she pushes it any further she'll end up feeling sick for weeks.
-As she explores other types of magic, all her spells get better as she understands the wider patterns which link them.
-She can now cast a \textit{Subtle Mist} without moving her fingers or even showing much stress in her eyes, so nobody can tell where the mist comes from.
-The spell still has limited use.
-She doesn't pull it out much in dangerous situations.
+ After some years of practice, she learns to modify her spells in a few ways.
+ She can makes \textit{Colourful Mist} appear in red, green or blue, or cast a \textit{Wide Mist} over a small area, obscuring the view in half a room.
+ She can also cast a \textit{Fast Mist}, which appears instantly.
-Later in life, with diligent practice, she will learn more \textit{Aldaron} magic, improving the mist, and learn how to add more to her spells.
-She'll be able to cast a \textit{Wide, Colourful Mist} which looks a little like a giant, red phoenix, or the mist could be \textit{Fast} and \textit{Wide}, instantly filling a room.
