(Lanaeis's decursing attempt)

On Tsubaki Avenue
Tsubaki Avenue winds gracefully through the outskirts of the city in a blend
of Japanese tradition. The street is lined with stone lanterns, their bases
carved with camellia blossoms. The smooth cobblestone road are bordered by
manicured azalea bushes and cherry trees, their branches forming a delicate
canopy that dapples the ground with sunlight.
Traditional buildings with dark wooden beams and white plaster walls stand
quietly nearby, their curved roofs adorned with protective tile work. A
wonderful floral scent lingers faintly in the air, carried by a soft breeze
across the street. Most of the people that seem to pass by here appear to be
women, and some are armed.
It is before dawn, about 40F(4C) degrees, and there are a few dark grey stormclouds in the sky. There is a waxing gibbous moon.
Lanaeis says "Cursed dagger on Tsubaki Avenue."
Takeshi looks over Lanaeis 's shoulder at the artifact he's got in front of him "Ehhhhh ..." Takeshi ponders, staring at it with curiosity "This, like, one of those cursed ones?" Takeshi asks, poking the man in the arm to check he's awake
Crouching, Lanaeis places a hand over the dagger. Golden fire leaps from his palm, forming a pair of golden, blazing wings that fold over the dagger, lines of power glowing within the shell as the flames begin to tear away at the dark weblike structure of the curse's magic.
Takeshi watches curiously "Ohhh, a dagger ..." Takeshi says, reaching out to pick the dagger up as he notices it bursting into flame "I wonder how much damage I could do with this thing?" Takeshi asks before frowning as he tries to open up his hand and fails "Ehhhh ..." Takeshi complains, looking at the dagger with a tilt of his head "I can't drop it ..."

Takeshi asks before frowning as he tries to open up his hand and fails "Ehhhh ..." Takeshi complains, looking at the dagger with a tilt of his head "I can't drop it ..."
A section of Takeshi's clothing catches fire.
Nodding, Lanaeis focuses on the network of black and golden lines as they writhe and clash beneath the surface of the flaming wings. "It is. I'm not sure what the curse 'is' but it could be valuable if contributed." He pokes a finger at one clump of black lines, causing them to explode as the golden lines converge on them for a moment.
"ehhhhh ..." Takeshi continues to ponder under his breath before one of the flames of Lanaeis 's decursing bounce off of the curse's protective barriers and catches on his sleeve!
"AHH!! FIRE!" Takeshi belts as he holds the dagger as far out from him as he possibly can, still unable to drop the thing as he starts flailing his arm like a wild man "WHAT YOU DO THAT FOR! I TRYING TO HELP!" Takeshi shouts at Lanaeis, betrayal in the man's face, fully convinced Lanaeis had just set him on fire for no reason!
A section of Takeshi's clothing catches fire.
"That, is what happens when the curse isn't happy with me trying to unravel it..." Lanaeis explains, jabbing a finger at the offending section of curse. "Get that part. Go, come on little flames." He mutters, poking the barrier and causing a little fireworks show to erupt across the blade of the dagger, sparks flying everywhere in a shower of embers as it finally begins to unravel. "Are you alright?" He asks as the little battle continues beneath their fingertips. "Angelic fire is no joke. I remember burning myself when I was still learning. Made me feel bad for the person on the receiving end." As another section of curse reflects fire at Takeshi, Lanaeis curses. "Fucking... get that part too!" He commands the flames.
Takeshi was probably alright, Lanaeis had seen just how much damage the man could take, even for something as trivial as a friendly sparring match. But somehow, outside the context of a fight, just that little bit of fire was sending Takeshi into a panic! "IT STUCK TO MY HAND! AHHHH!" Takeshi screams as he sets off /SPRINTING/ in the opposite direction to Lanaeis, arms in the air, flailing, more licks of flame hurled from the dagger stuck to his hand, threatening to renact the fire bombing of Osaka as the flames flew dangerously close to the wooden Tsubaki district buildings ...
For several seconds the room grows painfully hot.
"Takeshi! Gods damn it! Come back here!" Dagger in hand, Lanaeis sprints after Takeshi, angelic fire streaming out behind him as the dagger continues to spark, shoving past people in an effort to catch up to the flaming Takeshi in his flight from the fire. "Takeshi! Damn it! Stop! Your going to set the whole..." He watches as the flames spark, some landing on the ground, until the worst happens. The inevitable outcome of one landing on a building. "Uh oh..." Lanaeis says, halting, and for a moment, its like his face goes into the slow motion of a movie, with the horified expression on his face being the focus, then... the fire erupts.
Luckily Lanaeis is a much faster runner that Takeshi , easily catching up with the man. But, not fast enough. Takeshi looks over as he watches one of the buildings catch light, seeming to calm down real quick, seemingly the threat of what Ritsuka might do if she finds out Takeshi burned down the Tsubaki district more threatening than actually being on fire.
"Uhhhh ..." Takeshi asks, as he watches the fire slowly start to spread "Does fire magic include ways to put out fires?" Takeshi asks with a slow gulp
A section of Takeshi's clothing catches fire.
Takeshi starts to direct the Tsubaki personnel in their fire fighting efforts, organizing teams to start carrying water buckets, and hooking up hoses to fire hydrants along the street! It's quite a panic, but eventually they would, thankfully, manage to beat down the fires without too much damage being done.
With a final burst of power the curse on a silver dagger is broken.
