In the outer part of Shabu forest, a youngster is busy whipping a tree with a light blue whip. He was wearing a robe black as the night sky and after whipping the tree five times the whip disappeared from his hand.
Because of the huge amount of money he earned Adam had a lot of free time and decided to come to the forest to test the new spell idea he came up with, Universal Mana Form.
The name might sound strange but his lack of imagination didn't let him think of any better name than that.
The spell uses Mana Bullet as the basis and instead of launching the mana ball, he modifies its form to any form he can imagine. Obviously, the bigger or the more complicated the form is, the more mana will be spent.
He came up with the idea after remembering some novel contents and asked the system if it was possible. To his surprise, some mage had already thought of that.
The dude was a anomaly who had a really huge amount of mana but poor elemental affinity. In the mages's world, stuff like Mana Shield and Mana Bullet weren't popular even tough they grew with the mage's power, because it will always be weaker than elemental spells.
Mana Shield has the special ability of never ending unless the mana of the caster ends, while elemental shields have something like HP. Then why Mana Shield become useless?
Let's imagine a mage has 1000 Mana and uses it to cast an elemental shield. even the lowest level elemental shield will have something like 1100 HP, in other words, it can last an attack that you will need 1100 Mana with Mana Shield to defend.
And different from Mana Shield, elemental shields will not consume mana per second or force of the attack, once you cast it, it will not consume more mana. And if the mage had an absurd amount of mana even more than the defensive spell he can just use it all in the spell, and it will be more powerful than Mana Shield. The same happens with Mana Bullet.
Because of that, that mage was turned down every time he tried to enter in a magic school. Well, they can detect he has huge amount of mana but unfortunately not the exact amount, or else they would recruit him while smiling.
Even after that he did not give up, ending up with the only three spells suited for him,Universal Mana Form, Mana Compression and Mana Shield.
Using Universal Mana Form and his huge mana he ended up with a close combat style even though he was a mage. Using mana to make ropes, swords, hammers, armors, even giant boulders to crush enemies.
As for how Mana Compression works let's imagine he formed a 10-meter mana sword and compressed it to a normal size sword. The sword will still have the same amount of mana of the giant sword.
In his final battle, he formed a gigantic mana mecha and two giant swords and compressed them to normal human size. According to the system, that person had enough mana to form a Mana Bullet half the size of the moon, you can imagine how powerful his Mana Shield was. Adam didn' really hope to become like that, but Universal Mana Form is a really useful spell so he learned it.
He can't make stuff like armor because it won't last seconds and mana swords aren't more powerful than fireballs so he can only use it for things like forming a mana rope to climb a place and etc.
He returned to the city and resumed his potion selling business the next day. To his surprise, he heard a familiar voice shouting at him.
"Trash, how dare you fool me!" The voice had a ton of anger into it.
An angry Zhu Zimin along with five lackeys appeared before him.
