67 New class
Meta is a fluid magic that combines with current class. Rather than crossclassing you become new class.
Thorn and Olaf have become a meta-physical class that enables them to utilize the power of their inner self, by converting spells and inscribing them upon the soul in the form of sub-skills.
Meta is the magic that governs the act of casting magic or the middle ground between a spell as pure potential energy and coming into existence. It can affect the direction or cancel it entirely. It is a form of magic itself that exists within all of the realms of magic, like the glue which holds it together. This means meta exists everywhere, within everything even the physical realm.

Warriors in blank use sub-skills which work off the power of the soul. Calculations are made behind the scenes that determine things like cooldowns.
Essentially warriors and casters use the same construct ,the soul,to use spells or abilities.
For casters it is revealed as mana with definable values, but this is because the energy required is higher to cast spells due to distance. The spell is drawn from a universe made of potential energy and requires a part of the soul to bring it into existence like a spark. Since the spell has to come into existence the toll is the soul.
For warriors this is an unknown variable that the game keeps track of in the background. The game defines the "inner strength" of the warrior and sets a cooldown for sub-skills based on how quickly this energy will naturally regenerate.
The warrior class works like a car battery. When the car is on, the alternator charges the battery unless the car uses too much juice, which is hard to do since its regulated.
The warrior uses sub skills like a car uses electricity for the radio. The game works as a regulator for the class, setting up "cooldown" times that will keep the warrior from using to much "soul" energy.
When a spell is cast it is the same as directly draining the battery of its charge. This means that no cool down is required, making it possible to cast as quickly as you can draw the rune.
Thorn now has the ability to convert any spell into a sub-skill, which will assign the spell a designated cooldown time.

Thorn and Olaf were assaulted with all of this information as they materialized with their hands upon the meta-stone. Thorn had the memories of his past self, so this information came as no surprise, but to Olaf this was overwhelming. His mind was swimming with questions for Thorn. He had so many that he had trouble choosing one. Thorn watched him with amusement for a moment before stepping in to explain.
"So when we were by the castle, the blue flash of light was my past self communicating with me. This self has been trapped in a time loop for over a thousand iterations. He is also your Grandfather. He transferred his memories to me and this is our desperate gamble to try and beat skye. You died in every other iteration, but I chose to save you and bring you back in time with me to break the cycle. "
Olaf was stunned. "Huh...your my grandpa? I died? I do remember the blue light...Uh..thanks for saving me?"
Thorn couldn't help himself but to laugh at the insanity he was spouting and Olaf was forced to accept.
Thorn took the egg sized Meta-stone and placed it in his inventory. It turned to light particles and disappeared.
"Your welcome, but it was for selfish reasons." Thorn said as he pulled a scroll from his inventory. "Do you understand your abilities? Activate eyes of the meta. It has no cost, and could save your life so always keep it active. "
"I don't know how to use it?"
"Just think it."
Olaf did as Thorn said, and his ability activated. His eyes became a prismatic swirl of colors and the world changed around him drastically. His eyesight easily increased by tenfold, increasing the clarity and range, color and tone of everything.
Before him, where the meta stone crashed he saw a prismatic swirling residue that seemed to float in the air like particles. This colorful ghostlike grouping of particles traced back into the sky, following the path that the meta stone had taken. Olaf realized that he was seeing the magic residue that the stone had left behind.
Thorn pointed at the trail, " So you will need to follow this trail to where the other stones split off and follow the green trail from there. This will take you to the elves. "
Olaf shook his head confused, "Wait, what are you talking about? Are you leaving me? Why do I need to go to the elves? You haven't explained anything yet!!"
Thorn just smiled and put his small arm on Olafs shoulder, "Listen, we don't have too much time. You are the variable. With you we will break the cycle. I always have to save the elves at this point, but now you can. "
Olaf frowned, "I cant do that! I don't know how to use these powers! "
"Yes you can, I believe in you. Don't worry it will be a piece of cake. I have one quick errand to attend to and I will join you. " Thorn said casually.
"So you expect me to walk all the way to the elven kingdom?"
"No, thanks to an evil black dragon we get to travel in style. " Thorn said as he showed him the scroll he had pulled from his inventory.
<<Flight-Rank 4>>
"Use inscribe soul to copy it to your four temporary slots. You can make it permanent but with it being rank 4 the cooldown will be a few days most likely. It should last for two hours with each cast which will get you there. "
Olaf asked a few more questions about his class, then did as he was told and copied the flight spell into his four temporary slots. He was still unsure, but Thorn continued pestering him until he finally agreed.
"If I'm gonna save the elves, whatever that means, then what will you be doing."
Olaf asked as he prepared to cast his spell and leave.
"Just a little errand." Thorn said with an innocent smile that betrayed his true intentions. "By the way, morality, good and bad has just been introduced to the world so how you choose to interact is of great importance. Good luck."
Thorn cast flight on himself and began to rise into the air.
Olaf yelled out to him, "Really! Where are you going?!"
Thorn grinned with a wicked smile. " I'm gonna go kill me a dragon. "
