Sweet! My Merlin's descendant bloodline was unlocked....What?! Double mana, 20% less mana use, 15% faster spell casting, and 25% to spell power! This bloodline is OP! And its considered weak, not sure what all the rankings for them are Blaise only mentioned the one below weak was poor. My deep seated dream of being a spellcaster appears to be coming true! My health and stamina are both respectable for a level 1 character in most games, but my mana is insane! 320MP at level one! Now only if I knew how to cast a spell...Disregarding everything else I turned towards the lake, and while screaming out "FIREBALL!!!" I thrust my right palm towards the pond. In my mind I pictured a fireball building in my right hand with every bit of imagination I had and pictured it flying from my hand into the pond. With disappointment I didn't manage to accomplish anything except scaring a few birds from their trees, who squawked, chirped, and in one case growled at me in annoyance before they calmed back down.

Well I won't try that again; I take be growled at very seriously. Looking all around me I didn't see any animals besides a few colorful birds I didn't recognize, and what appeared to be a very large Squirrel badger hybrid looking thing sitting on a tree limb high up munching on some type of nut. I didn't know if it he was also a meat eater, but I got the feeling that I would be safe if I didn't provoke him and did not urinate on his tree.....That was a really strange thought.

*Ding* <5% Skill increase to Anatomy (Beast)>

*Ding* <1% Skill increase to Biologist>

*Ding* <10% Skill increase to Survivalist>

In my excitement over my sweet bonuses for spell casting, and my utter failure at spell casting I forgot I had actually unlocked some skills. I started going over my status page again. My stats had stayed the same, my abilities were still locked but it apparently would unlock once I reached level 5! I wonder if I will get anything good? Anyway, now I can check out my skills. The anatomy skills make sense considered I studied biology in college and graduated with honors, so I guess becoming a biologist gained me the biologist skill, anatomy skills, and Herbalism has to be due to all those classes I was required to take in plant biology. It also probably helped my skill level with all the time I spent helping my mom with our small garden growing up. Lastly Survivalist has to be from my backpacking trip, and all the time I spent training and preparing this past year before I left.
