"Okay, good shaping," he says. "You're picking it up quicker than I did, although that's less impressive than it sounds because I was inventing a lot of it from scratch and didn't have a teacher handy. Unfortunately, that was the easy part. The hard part is placement. You could shape wings just fine right now, but you'd still be throwing them as classical fire strikes, and not a lot of flying creatures have giant wings coming out of their hands and feet. So. Pick a movement, something that feels appropriate to producing wings with, something you won't mind practicing a lot in different variations. Don't try actually throwing wings with it yet, but try it, see how it feels, think about how you'd shape the wings to fit in the space around you. I do my wings like this," he gives his signature sweeping bow with flaring wings of flame, "but almost purely for showmanship, there's nothing inherent in the movement that makes fire like to do wings with it, and you might feel like picking something else."
