Casting spells

[Remember, Dorian, how you were feeling only a few seconds before I shocked you. Do you remember? It was the mana I had. Now, give it your best effort to re-create that sensation.]

Dorian was able to figure it out very fast after listening to the directions provided by the system. He became aware of a warm sensation throughout his body. The rest appeared to happen naturally. Almost immediately, he could find out how to relocate the mana around his body.

"Oh? I believe that I was successful. Thank you, my lady!~"

[I'm glad that was helpful.] asa

After Dorian had expressed his gratitude to the system, he recited the spell. It struck him as odd and perhaps even childish. He had a hard time imagining himself employing anything like this during the battles he would fight in the future.

'𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖗𝖎𝖙𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖜𝖆𝖙𝖊𝖗, 𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖊, 𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖍, 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖆𝖎𝖗, 𝖘𝖚𝖗𝖗𝖊𝖓𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖕𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖔 𝖒𝖊. 𝕴𝖙 𝖔𝖓𝖑𝖞 𝖒𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖘 𝖎𝖋 𝕴 𝖙𝖆𝖐𝖊 𝖔𝖓 𝖆 𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝖇𝖎𝖙 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖑𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙 𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖗𝖌𝖞.'

As the mana from the environment began to permeate his body, he began to experience a sense of renewed vitality. The benefits became immediately apparent, and Dorian's desire to broadcast the excellent news to the rest of the world made it difficult for him to suppress his joy. However, he was able to keep his composure and grinned instead.

*Ping*

*You gained a new ability*

After he saw the notification that the system had shown, Dorian became even more delighted. He was so overjoyed that he could hardly hold himself from laughing out loud.

"The system, please show the abilities," Dorian requested.

"Another passive skill? Does the system only gives passive skills?"

Dorian's expression suggested that he was experiencing some disappointment because he had hoped to acquire at least one active skill. Despite this, he didn't let his disappointment show too much because this passive skill was still helpful.

[Indeed, I can provide you with only a few active skills. Even that only after you get yourself a class. You have only spent one day in this place, but you ought to have recognized by now that the majority of the magical spells are cast by reciting certain incantations. Except in the case if you find a magic item like those assassins had.]

"I see what you mean," Dorian whispered.

[However, you shouldn't be concerned since the active talents you will obtain in the future won't let you down. But for the time being, you should only concentrate on gaining experience and improving your magic. It looks like this perverted lunatic wants to help you. Therefore, you're in a fortunate position.]

"Oh yes, Sara. You haven't made any noise in quite some time."

Dorian phoned Sara because, once the system described the perverted freak, he remembered that he had forgotten about Sara. He saw that Sara was sound asleep while seated at her desk when he turned around.

"I suppose that she could not sleep the entire night while I was gone."

Dorian's assumption was correct, as Sara had already spent several restless nights worrying about the upcoming tests in the magic school. However, since Dorian vanished, Sara's anxiety level has been through the roof. So to find him, she not only rounded up servants but also used a significant amount of mana to cast spells of magic. After having a few drinks of whiskey and relaxing, she almost instantly fell asleep.

"I get a slight remorse or guilt."

[As you should, you are responsible for your actions. HAHA! ~]

The system began to chuckle in an endearing manner. The realization that Dorian may experience emotions similar to guilt came as a huge relief to her.

"Hehe!~"

Dorian resumed his studying of two other spells for the next several hours. The first was to shield himself from the flames, and the second was to start the fire. The creation spell was straightforward, consisting of only one word, and it was dependent on the user's own ability to regulate their mana internally. On the other hand, Dorian found the protective spell to be irritating.

'𝕭𝖚𝖗𝖓 𝖇𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖑𝖞 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓 𝖒𝖊, 𝖇𝖚𝖙 𝖉𝖔 𝖓𝖔𝖙 𝖘𝖕𝖆𝖗𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘𝖊 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖜𝖆𝖓𝖙 𝖒𝖞 𝖉𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖚𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓. 𝕳𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗, 𝖍𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖒𝖊𝖗𝖈𝖞 𝖔𝖓 𝖒𝖊.'

He noticed that his voice was somewhat warped whenever he used the spell, and it became increasingly noticeable over time. Therefore, he desired to inquire about Sara concerning casting a spell, but she was still asleep, and Dorian chose not to wake her up for a query that Dorian could ask later.

Dorian had already cast the self-protection spell, and now, Dorian gathered his mana on top of his finger, and when he felt the warmth, he performed the magic. Now, Dorian gathered his mana on top of his finger. The chant was brief since, as was said before, the incantation to conjure fire consisted of no more than one word.

'𝕴𝖌𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖊 '

One of Dorian's fingers on his left hand had a little flame on it, similar to that of a lighter. Dorian glanced with excitement. He felt faint warmth. In fact, it felt more like an air current than a flame. However, it promptly incinerated when he took up an empty paper off Sara's desk and put it over the flame.

Dorian had a smug expression as he recognized that the only reason he felt no pain was because of his protective spell. The flame was not a delusion. It was real and could burn objects... Objects and people.
