Blinding Lighthouse

Adam sat on a nearby boulder and jotted down everything related to the mana-gathering runic formation.

It took him nearly half a dozen parchments to write all that was necessary before handing them to the elderly Magus.

"There you go, my lord." Adam politely presented the rolled parchments with both hands. "These contain all the important points one needs to take into consideration while laying down the formation."

Of course, he didn't write everything down to the tiniest details, hoping that the one who did read these parchments later would, at the very least, have the fundamentals of rune magic within grasp.

The elderly Magus waved his hand, and the parchments in Adam's grasp disappeared.

Then, he gave the youth a slight nod before once again completely concealing his presence, leaving behind his parting words, "We shall talk once you have finished laying down the formation."

With that said, he disappeared.
