Two hours after my parents went to sleep, I jumped out the window and marched back to the forest. In there, we explored for a little bit, finding no monsters in close vicinity.
“I guess while we wait for them to come, we can practice magic.” I said.
“Magic!” said Eleanora in surprise.
“Have you been able to utilize magic?” I asked.
“No, I had tried before, but I cannot, it simply doesn’t work,” she sighed.
“It is just as I thought, magic as we know might be “blocked” from being used in here by the world’s laws… but perhaps it only works with spirits due to your special composition… But it is worth a shot to use it myself… Basic Mana Controlling Techniques should be easy to relearn.” I said.
Even in my previous life’s Universe, everyone was born with a magic and element affinity.
However, as you grew stronger and accumulated more Attribute Particles, which are the very particles that make up elements themselves, just about anyone was able to use all elements.
Although in a mortal’s stage, it was incredibly hard to use elements other than your own affinity, but as you developed divine energy and then gained attribute particles, this became easier and easier.
After crossing into the God-Realm, then Great God-Realm, and lastly, Supreme God-Realm, an influx of Attribute Particles could be attained, and even more Law Comprehension. This last concept is something of late game for divine entities. The more you comprehend an element, the stronger it becomes and the highest your defenses against it becomes… I had 100% Comprehension in all Elements; however, I have lost all my Attribute Particles, which made up all the power of my elements to begin with.
Specializing in an element was still very important, even as strong as I was. My strongest element was always Blood and Darkness, while the other elements were not as strong and often used as support or as pillars to create composite magic with various elements, while using my main ones as the core of such powerful spells and techniques.
“You and I should already have 100% Comprehension in all Elemental Laws, this is not something that is just in the soul or the body. It is something of the mind, comprehending something to a transcendental level cannot be taken away unless my very memory was fragmented, but it was not… therefore, the comprehension of all elements for me is perfect and so is yours. Your inability to use magic is only because of this world… but your manipulation of blood and darkness using your Skills is masterful to stay the least.” I said.
“Indeed, I have kept my Elemental Law Comprehension… This is why perhaps my Blood and Darkness Skills are even stronger than they should be for a Spirit such as myself.” Said Eleanora.
“Hmm… Let’s see for now… I will try out every basic spell for every element and discard what I can use or not.” I said.
“Understood… But your Mana is…” she said.
“Don’t worry, I can absorb a Spirit Orb if my Mana goes down. Although, I will be losing money, it is worth the investment if it is for magic practice.” I said.
“You’re more than right.” Said Eleanora.
Eleanora kept an eye on our surroundings while I stood still and concentrated my mind into the flow of mana. I began to construct several runes mentally, and then a magic circle.
Spell conjuration was something incredibly complex, although the majority of my crew developed innate magic and were all more like sorcerers, including me. In the stage I am right now, as a human child with no talent, I have no such sorcery to aid me, and I must go to the very basics and conjure magic spells through the creation of runes and magic circles, binding the runes in place, infusing mana into them, and generating the power of the elements.
Runes are simple though, and so are magic circles themselves, but the complexity comes when you have to bind hundreds of Runes to make a simple spell…
But… what are Runes?
Runes are words, in a way, words that represent what you want Mana to shape itself as. To make the most basic Wind Element Spell “Wind Cut” I must first concentrate on a dozen runes. Each rune is a single word, each word combines into a phrase, and that phrase is the conjuration for the spell.
Magic circles comes with it, binding all runes in place and not letting them go away from your conjuration. They’re the table that holds your runes and magic, and also the tool that absorbs the mana into the runes. Fusing the concepts and words of the runes, their meanings, and more, into magic.
I quickly began to conjure such a spell, in hopes of being able to use any magic. Everyone has a single element affinity, and to be honest, there is some fun in using a single element, and specializing on it, but if I can use all elements right now, it would be for the best.
“Wind, Flow, Cut, Fly, Strong… Wind Cut.”
I created every Rune, as they began to rotate around my hand, a magic circle bound them together into a wonderful painting made of mana. As the element of wind answered my call without any problems, a small gust of transparent wind flew towards the nearby tree, leaving a deep cut.
SLASH!
The cut in the tree wasn’t too deep though, the tree didn’t get sliced in half as I had expected… Ugh.
But… it worked; I was able to use magic!
“Eleanora! It worked!” I celebrated, like a child that had discovered that he was talented in something, I couldn’t help but celebrate by raising my hands.
“I saw it too! Good work!” said Eleanora, as she petted my head…
Okay, that might had been quite embarrassing.
“You don’t have to pet my head.” I sighed.
“O-Oh! My bad!” she apologized.
