Create new spell

Breathing heavily at dawn break, Iode sat on the bed with sweat running down his face.

' what was that just now, it's different from all the dreams I've ever had, this one feels more eerie and menacing than the previous ones '

In the past, Iode would dream about a future where the people of world of Heaters are attacked and brutally treated, some even showing genocide act performed by the extraterrestrial people, however this time, rather than the aliens from another world with their superior technology and better battle welfare, this time it is a demon or someone with demonic powers that came from an entirely different dimension.

"A demon that looks like an Elf and said 'I have returned', what is the meaning of this... And Igor has hide his face, how else am I going to get what is going on. I thought the dream nonsense has stopped, Sigh!".

It's day break, Iode went from his room to a building facility that lies about 20 meters away from the purple tower main building. On the way, he encountered Igor's statue. The statue held a staff at his right hand and raised it up.

The staff was exactly the staff the Archmage gave him. Iode stared at the statue intently and frowned.

'At least you are better than Zenobios who wanted to use his demonic power to destroy the world and rule all that remains'

'now that I think about it, Zenobios and that demon Elf, are they correlated in any way? I doubt it, he's been dead for a very long time, he can't come back to life... Right?'

Iode was lost in thought looking at the statue.

" Looking at the greatness of your predecessor are we, Iode?". Angus said behind him.

"Oh, good morning Angus ". Iode said.

"He and the rest of the original five, we all strive to be like them, however there's something I don't get, how are they able to have successors, have you ever thought of that ". Angus said.

Iode looked at him with the corner of his eyes but said nothing.

"What, it's just a philosophical question, no one but them have such traits, everyone asks that question, there hasn't been any definitive answer, just speculations ".

Iode also had such question when he met with Igor's clone at the purple tower's library but he got the answer at a very distant land when he got washed ashore at the goblins territory, thanks to Detto the shaman. However, even though he is not happy about the source of the power, but because the one who once wield it was a very responsible and good hearted person, he will not trash talk him nor will he sell out his secret.

"Yeah". Iode replied.

Angus looked at him, he knew that Iode said that short response to evade the question passively, surely, he knows the answer to it.

"Let's head to the laboratory" Angus said.

***

In a large building filled with all sorts of apparatus ranging from beakers, flat flasks pipette, and so on. Iode sat with a desk in his front, he was scribbling something down.

"Aye Iode, watcha doing ". One of the building instructors said coming over to him.

The man wore a purple gown with the purple tower badge on his left chest. The badge was that of a crescent and a rising sun in it middle. He has a black hair and smiled innocently at him.

"Good morning Sir Lupine, I'm trying to create a new version of the Restrictions Magic". Iode said.

"Really? ". Lupine said.

"Over the years, there as been little improvement and versions of the ' Chains of Restrictions ' spell that Igor created".

"Spells like 'Chains of Abatement', 'Chains of Burden', 'Chains of Infliction' , are the only improvement and versions of the Chains of restrictions. I want to create another version of that spell ". Iode explained.

"Hmmm, tell me more ". Lupine said interested in Iode's topic of discussion.

"Okay, you see, Chains of restrictions is a spell that restrain the target and restricts the movement that's all. Many years after Igor created the spell, it became evident that a simple restriction of movement isn't enough, so the Chains of burden was created to make the restriction more solidified and stronger. The Chains of burden creates large balls around the chains to give more pressure on the target. The more the target struggles, the more chain balls that would be added to the chains".

"Chains of Infliction is a spell that is unlike any other chain restraint spell, rather than pin a target down and stop them from moving, this spell has sharp blades at it ends that is used to inflict wounds to targets by jabbing and stabbing them, it does not restrict the target's movement, it is the only attack orientated chain restriction spell".

"Chains of abatement works like the Chains of restrictions, however, unlike the latter, the chains of abatement not only restrain and restricts the target's movement, it also temporarily cuts their supply of energy, whether it's mana or any other kinds of energy, this way it stops the target from using their powers ".

"The new improvement I want to make, I call it, Chains of Suppression, it is a modification of the Chains of abatement, just like the latter, it restricts target and cuts off their energy supply temporarily but it has an additional effect, it directs the cut off energy of the target to the caster, thereby refueling the casters energy ". Iode muttered continuously.

"Oh sorry, I talk too much". Iode said as he realized he was yammering alone.

"Don't sweat about it lad, it bright minds like you we've always wanted, with people like you, we can know more about magic spells". Lupine said to not make him feel awkward.

"Oh there you are Iode, the Archmage has summoned us ". Melissa came in and said looking happy.
