Magic Spells

"Now there are few more things that you need to know. Your magic core allow you to infuse your body with mana and strengthen it. Also now you should be able to feel your surroundings for a radius of a meter. Now its time for you to hear about the magic circles of a mage apprentice. It works the same for mages too. The only difference is the magic power needed to be accumulated by absorbing the needed element or a world energy for unattributed mages. Now your magic power is a little higher then 100. Their are special magic items that can measure magic power. 100 should be the minimum amount of magic power to form a core. It counts as a level of the first circle. To get to a level of a second circle you need to get 200 magic power, third circle required 300 magic power and so on. Mage should have at least 1000 magic power. Then he will be first circle mage. At that phase his power would increase drastically as well as his magic capabilities. The most important thing of becoming a mage is the ability to fly. Only wind mages have the capability to fly before To get to a level of high mage you need 10,000 magic power and in this stage it will grant you the ability to blink. Blink allow you to move in space for some distance depending on your magic power and amount of mana. Generally high mages cannot blink more then 5 times a day because of the mana consumption. For a grand mage level you will need 100,000 magic power at least . You have a long way to go. We are going to start with the most simple skills for an earth mage that I have a records on with me. It will help you to have a balanced kit for defense and offence. There are only 4 skills that I have. Stone skin, Stone wall, Earth bullet and Earth spike.

Stone skin makes the skin very hard to penetrate, even with weapons. Stone wall raise a wall of stone to protect the caster. Earth bullet is self explanatory. Its an offensive spell that shoot an earth bullet at the target. Earth spike is a more advanced and nasty spell. It raises an earth spike from the ground to attack the target. If it not used against another mage or warrior with high surrounding awareness it should be able to hit the target. I don't have any fire magic spells with me so that is something you will need to get by yourself. The best place for that is an academy. You have a few more years before you can apply to one of the academies. Humans generally can start cultivating their magic powers at the age of 12 but the academies open their doors for magic students from the age of 14 to let them get accustomed to their abilities. Same goes for the none magic department. The kids need to mature to start increasing their life force by different breathing technique special to warriors. In their case they will form a core too but it will be used to empower their weapon attacks. It will not carry any trace of magic. Here are the books containing all the data you need to study those skills. You don't have much time. It is not that easy to learn those skills. It is better for you to learn one offensive and one defensive skill. It will be for the best because I'm not sure how much time I have left. If you have any questions let me know. It is best for you to study through fail and error. That's the best way to understand the ins and outs of the subject. Also don't forget about experimenting with the manipulation of your element. You can make a weapon or a shield from your element. It will make your kit much more versatile. " David said.

'I don't have any time to breathe. I train like crazy but I feel that time always against me. To have such a huge lifespan of a few thousand years and go against the time is something that I hope will over soon. I need to get stronger and fast!' Leo grumbled internally.

Leo decided to go for stone skin and stone bullet spells. Stone wall will help him only from a range attacks and earth spike was not a skill for beginners. He didn't want to start from something hard to grasp. He needed to understand the basics. If he built his foundation on a feeble ground it will backfire sooner or later. The stone skin spell was fairly simple. He needed to concentrate the earth element particles on the tip of his skin and empower them with his mana. The toughness of the skin depends on how much mana he was ready to infuse. The amount of mana in the body was equivalent to two times the amount of the magic power. Mana can be restored by resting, meditating or using the breathing technique in an uptrend from the first to the last. That he learned from David in the last couple of months. Stone skin should have been an easy spell to master but it took Leo few months to master it and cover his own body with an equal amount of earth elemental particles all over his body. His task got easier because he used the earth particles in from the terrain and not the ones that he could generate through mana manipulation with his magic core. It helped him to have a lot more time to practice before he needed to rest. With the earth element around him he could hold the stone skin for hour time and he could make some parts of his body tougher by choice for a short while. It could be potentially used as a trump card when he needed to take a hit head on. Also in that time he got the level of the second circle. David had one of those devices that could check the magic power of the user and Leo was at 202 magic power after 8 month of training. It was not bad, but not great. Still, Leo was satisfied with his progress. He was sure that after he will study the offensive skill he could take care of himself. Also in that time David was teaching Leo how to butcher, skin and cook his pray in the right way. Also he was teaching Leo how to find his way in the wild with the help of the stars at night and the sun at the day time. Leo was studying diligently because this was his lifeline. He knew how to do it from Earth as a soldier, but here it was a little different. The stars were different and he needed to study how to find the south direction with the Kellot star. It took him some time but he felt he was moving in the right direction. He was looking for the days to come.
