Magic training

The next day...

"Simon Open the door it's me."

The room door opened on its own.

"Thank you, Lily."

"She said, {you're welcome}.", Said Simon sitting on his desk.

"You aren't overworking her, are you?"

"Of course not, now let's start your training"

"Now!!"

"Yes, now give me your hand."

"Why?", I said while holding his hand.

"Ahhhhhh...", as the pain rushed from my hand into my entire body.

"How that feels."

"Painful what did you do to me."

"Nothing, I just passed my magic through you're body."

"That feels like I've been shocked with a defibrillator!!"

"You got zapped with a defibrillator before?"

"Yes, in training."

Simon Stood up and got to his closet and he took From it a yarn and some Knitting tools.

He then gave them to me.

"Start Knitting."

"why?"

"I will explain to you as you work, here this a video about knitting gloves."

I started Knitting while he started explaining how magic works.

"Firstly , it's the most important part. In this world, we cast magic by knitting those threads as we like. So knitting skill is essential, that why you're knitting now"

So that how it is.

"Now try feeling your hands, how do they feel after I hit you with my magic"

"Now that you mention it, they feel like hair is dropped on them."

"Yes, those are ."

"You have only one week of training so learn how to knit in the first three days."

Now, this knitting makes sense.

"This is amazing, so that how other mages use magic"

"Hmmm... About that, No"

"Wait Why??!!"

"In this world, there are three types of spell-casters, warlocks, artificers, natural-born casters."

He then started explaining.

Firstly the biggest group is the warlocks, they take up about 70% of all spell-casters. Because all they have to do is make a contract with a powerful entity, then they can use its power as stated in the contract, they don't need to learn how to use magic because the contractor is the one doing the casting.

Secondly, the artificers take up about 29% of all spell-casters, to put it simply they create magic items and use them to cast magic because it is normally impossible to cast magic directly, you usually need a tool or a contract.

The last group is the natural-born casters, the group that includes me and Simon, they take only about 1% of the total spell-caster Population, and they can control magic directly. if they get strong enough they can become the powerful entity that offers contracts to other people.

Also, the concentration of magic in the air is equivalent to a half ML .

I have four times the normal concentration of magic so my is two [2-ML].

Simon is [4-ML].

It looks like Keeping Lily Around take 1-ML per day. So Simon can only use 3-ML per day.

You can regenerate your ML by resting.

Also about what can Simon cast, he knows those spells.

[Invisible servant]: It a spell that creates an invisible servant, that servant is as strong as a normal person and can do what the caster can do except spell-casting and hurting others directly, if you want your servant to be able to cook, you need to know how to cook first. Also, you can customize your servant as you like, how they look, what they wear and how they speak, even their voice. of course, the caster is the only one who can see hear and touch his servant. In the case of Lily, Simon was lazy to spend a month or more customizing his servant, so he just copied himself and made it a woman wearing a maid uniform. Apparently, the customizing process is like drawing.

[Elemental arrow]: This spell conjure up to two arrows of elemental energy that you can shot at different or the same target, those arrows can be made of: {Fire/ice/stone/lightning/poison/acid/sound/radiation}. Cost 1-ML per cast.

[Earth shift]: This spell has a range of 30 meters, it can change up to 4-cubic meters of soil to mud. Cost 1-ML per cast, and lasts for 10 min.

[Magic armor]: It's just armor made from magic, it looks like it is made of Glass but it's extremely hard. Cost 1-ML per cast, and lasts for an hour.

[Fire burst]: A thin sheet of flames shoots forth from the caster palm burning everything in a 5-meter line.

[Shockwave]: Create a shockwave that sweeps out from the caster to a radius of 5-meter pushing everything around him for about 3 meters and hurting them. Cost 1-ML per cast.

[Heal]: this spell accelerate the natural healing process of any living creature that you know its anatomy, to cast this spell you need to touch the target, this spell also requires stamina from the target, an extremely wounded or starved target can't be healed with this spell. Cost 1-ML per cast.

[Augment Gravity]: The gravity in a 3-meter-radius sphere centered on a point you can see within a 10-meter range increases by five times for 6 seconds damaging everything inside. Cost 1-ML per cast.

[Find Familiar]: You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that can be {a fey, a fiend, or a construct} and take on the shape of a small animal, you and you're familiar share the same senses at your will.

Finally, I just finished knitting the right hand.

"Hey, Simon can you take a look at this I just finished making it."

"That looks good, you have talent!"

"Thanks, what next?"

"You should probably take a rest."

"No need I'm full of energy now."

" You will regret not taking a rest."

"Why?"

"Next you need to make the right Socks, the right half of a pair of pants, shirt with long sleeve and a thieves mask and also a veil."

"And why make all of those??"

"When you finish you will have made The right half of a full bodysuit."

"And?"

"If you know how to make the right half of a full bodysuit you can then make the whole thing, after that try remaking it using and wear it like armor. If you do that you can increase your strength, speed, and toughness."

Wow, he is right if I do that I can be a hero.

At that moment I saw an evil grin on Simon's face, a grin so evil that my hair stood from fear.

"You are a doctor Right, learn surgery and then dissect some humans if you do that you can learn how the body works directly after that knit into your muscle fibers, in your veins, nervous system, internal organs. use it to link all your cells and tie them together, if you managed to pull that out without dying you can become a half-immortal living being"

He sounds like a psychopath.

"Hey, Simon you just referred {humans] as if you're not one of them, you okay!!"

"Did it sound Like that, sorry I was just deep in my thoughts!"

"Hhhh... don't lose your mind on me."

I forgot to ask him if he found anything about my brother's condition yet.

Well, he was studying his new spell all day and he seems exhausted so I will ask him tomorrow.
