Chapter 5: Magic

[Good morning host] - The system greeted me as soon as I woke up - [Today is August 5th according to the main calendar of Deuros , earlier morning. You overslept 11 hours, 53 minutes, 21 seconds.] - And so every day ...

Every morning the system greets me in this way, it's certainly useful to know what day it is, but the child does not need to know! But now it doesn't bother me, yesterday, on my birthday, the system gave me the "Magic Book for Dummies" and today I intend to start learning magic!

"System, please open the" Magic Book for Dummies "" - I mentally turned to the system.

[As the Master so desires. However, I highly recommend doing magic in a quiet place where no one will see you . In this world, magic is usually studied, starting with 5 -ti years.] - warned me system. But why from 5 years?

"System, answer, why do they begin to learn magic from the age of 5?" - I asked a question that I was very interested in.

[At age 5, all children go through a ceremony called "Baptism," where they learn their magical attributes. Beyond you, a very small number of people have the [Analysis / Evaluation] skill.]

But this is very useful! If the number of people who can test my abilities by analysis is very small, then I have nothing to fear, well, just need to somehow hide my abilities during this "Baptism", and it seems to me that it will be very difficult ...

" System, is there any way to hide my Magic Attributes during the" Baptism "? "

[ Extra Skill "Stealth" - This skill will allow its owner to hide not only his attributes, but also all his characteristics and skills and partially hide his presence.

Limitation: The lower the skill level, the less information is hidden

How to get the skill: Using the Magic of Darkness, hide your presence from people for 24 hours. If it detects you, the countdown will go first.]

24 hours to hide your presence? This is bad, they constantly watch me, if not my mother, then my sister or servant, I just physically cannot disappear from their field of view for 24 hours. Now it's not worth even thinking about it, maybe I can do it in 3 or 4 years, but not now.

" System, do you have a name?" For the "System" is very unpleasant to contact you. "

[The host can give me any name.]

「Want to choose a name? 」

"Well, then let it be Aina."

「The name" Aina "is set 」

[Thank you Boss.]

I solved this problem, but I, damn it, were distracted from my original goal. I wanted to study a magic book.

"Aina, please open the magic book"

I think this book justifies its price tag of 500 credits, everything is very well sorted into sections. I'll start from the very first

Magic Attributes and their description

Magic is divided into elementary attributes and the main magic of light and darkness. Elemental magic is magic that uses Magic Elements from the outside world to create spells, such as " Fireball " , " Water Wall " and the like. To control a certain element, you need to have a predisposition to it, which will transfer to the inheritance from the parents or by God himself.

Fire Element - This element allows the user to create and manipulate all types of fire. One of the five basic elements, strong against the Wind Element.

The Wind Element is a t element that allows the user to create and manipulate the wind . One of the five basic elements, strong against the Lightning Element.

The Water Element is the t element that allows users to manipulate the water element. One of the five basic elements, strong against the Element of Fire

Element of the Earth - this element allows you to control the earth itself by changing its structure . One of the five basic elements, strong against the Water Element

The Lightning Element is an element that allows the user to create and control lightning flows in his body. One of the five basic elements, strong against the Earth Element

Elementary Spells

Element of Fire - " Fireball " and " Fire Spear "

Fireball - " O flame, destroying everything in its path, appear and destroy my enemy - Fireball "

Fire Spear - " Fire, become an extension of my hand and defeat my enemy - Fire Spear "

Wind Element - " Air Blade " and " Air Shield "

Air Blade - " Wind, become a continuation of my sword and hit the enemy that dared to encroach on my life - Air Blade "

Air Shield - " O spirits commanding the faiths of this world, hear my call and protect me - Air Shield! "

Water Element - " Water Spear " and " Water Shield "

Water Spear - " Water, become an extension of my hand and defeat my enemy - Water Spear "

Water Shield - " Water surrounding me, hear my call and protect me from my enemy - Water Shield "

Element of the Earth - " Sand Shield " and " Earthen fetters "

Sand Shield - " Earth, I command you, decipher the laws of this world and protect - Sand Shield! "

Earthen fetters - "The earth surrounding me, hear my call and entangle my enemy - Earthen fetters. "

Lightning Element - None.

For each of the elements, there are 2 spells with more or less similar songs for their appeal , but why do not lightning have them? Is it really that the element of lightning is so difficult to control that for him simply no one came up with light spells? Of course, I came up with one spell of the lightning element, but it looks more like Tesla coils, small sparks jump from one fallen to another and that's all, I could not do anything more serious ...

" Aina, why aren't there lightning element spells?" "

[ The lightning element is more difficult to control than the 4 other elements, also, the owners of this element themselves are few, and this caused the lightning element itself to be studied very little, and therefore no one came up with light spells, except for you the Master. ]

Well, that doesn't bother me very much, I was already able to make fiery and water balls without the need to drink anything. Most likely, these songs are needed only so that a person can mentally imagine the image of the spell and use it. For me, as a person who has developed a large number of spells for MMORPGs, this is not a problem, I can easily imagine what the spell should look like and what it should do.

With this understood, so that we can move on to the third point - Magee I Light

The magic of light - Magic given to us by people, the Goddess of Light - Sinai, so that people can resist the undead armies that threaten our existence. Goddess gave the magic light of seven innocent virgins, who offered up her prayers for help during the " era of the early " . The basic principle of the work of Light Magic is to build on the chanting of prayers to the Goddess Sinai.

Basic Light Magic Spell

The Little Cleansing - " About the Goddess who is watching us from heaven, I ask you to lend me your strength in order to cleanse the young child from filth - The Little Cleansing!"

Lesser Healing - " Goddess that wags our lives, have mercy and save the life of the child of the Earth's matter - Lesser Healing!" "

Flash - " Hear and answer my call, O light that illuminates the darkness, light my path - Flash "

Arrow of Light - " O Great Goddess who rules in heaven, hear my call and smite the undead that encroached on holy life - Arrow of Light! "

Arrow of light - The magic of light that can cause damage only by a representative of the undead race, magic will have no effect on the living.

Now it's clear why there are so few owners of light magic, initially only seven maidens had it. But magic is very strong, if only with the help of magic light can kill undead, then it is very useful!

So, the magic of light turned out to be very useful, now let's take a look at what the Magic of Darkness is.

The magic of Darkness granted by the simple mortal God of Darkness - Ares. Ares, granted his gift to only one follower, that he sang it as the most powerful God on Olympus. Dark Magic is a universal magic based on the manipulation of dark energy and space; today, only 8 owners of this magic are known.

Basic Dark Magic Spells

Night Vision - Directing dark energy into the eyes.

Region of Darkness - Spread dark energy within a radius of 10 meters.

Concealment - Having enveloped your body with dark energy invisible to the human eye, hide your presence from enemies.

Shadow Army - By manipulating dark energy, create 1-3 shadow soldiers. Strength is directly proportional to the amount spent by the mage. Items.

Shadow Spear - "Darkness, hear the call of your master! I command you to decipher the laws of this world and form a spear that will hit my enemy - the Shadow Spear"

Shadow Exchange - Leaving a copy of your shadow in the shadow of another person, you can swap places with it. Limitation : The farther the copy is, the more mana will be spent.

Very, very strong magic, now it is the second on my list to study! If you study even to be half of the described spells, I will already become very strong! And this Gate! This is cheating! All I need is to visit all cities, and then I can teleport anywhere! And this amount of mana will not stop me, I will increase it to unprecedented heights if necessary!

Well, now that I know the principles of magic and what it is based on, I can easily begin to study it. Perhaps I'll start with the wind element, it is the safest for me in my current state, well, I'll practice a little in managing this dark energy, I hope it will not be too difficult ...

And so my days passed, in the morning I had breakfast and studied with Claire, he taught me letters and their pronunciation . In the afternoon, I played with Emilia, who , like me, studied in the morning with Sylvia. And in the evening and at night I slowly trained to control the Vital Energy - the Magic of Light, and the Dark Energy - the Magic of Darkness. This continued until today.
