5 All About Magic

Chapter Five: All About Magic.

Later that night, after collecting the proof I needed, I went back to the town. Later I showed the proof to the Mayor, and I received my reward. There was a total reward of one gold coin, five silver coins, ten bronze coins, and a bonus reward of one extra gold coin.

Lucky, aren't I? "Hehe"

{Bronze, silver, and gold coins are used in this continent as money. One Gold = 100 Silver, One Silver = 10 Bronze}

The next day, I left Hillford town early in the morning by 6 or so and reached Rex city by noon. As of now, I am in my Inn doing nothing and lying down on the bed.

Ahh! I found a mana crystal yesterday in the cave…

{Mana crystal, a unique mineral in which it contains mana inside that crystal. Total mana in a crystal differs from crystal to crystal. Each crystal has its grade, depending on the mana it has inside. Most of the Adventurer sells it to Guildhall for the money.}

The mana crystal that I found is a B-grade one. To be honest, I can use it for myself, more like I can absorb the mana inside the crystal and increase my own mana capacity.

You could also say that I became an Adventurer to get my hands on mana crystals.

I guess I will use it later someday.

I just realized that I travelled alone and it was boring "sigh," I wish I could find someone like you, but I will protect them this time. After all, I have become strong "giggles."

I then slept for hours, and after waking up, the first thing I did was go to the book store.

"Thanks for buying; hope to see you again." The shopkeeper said,

With my first ever reward, I bought a book, "A Guide to Magic." Nice!!

I got back home and opened the book. I flipped the book's front cover, and I also didn't want to read the introduction and all, so I headed straight to….

"Flip" "Flip," "Flip," "Flip"

Here is this page….

" There are four categorised types of magics; Elemental magic, Unique magic, Unkown magic, and Celestial magic...

…..Elemental Magic: There are a total of six types of Elemental magic. Electric, Water, Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth (Electric -> Water -> Fire -> Ice -> Wind -> Earth -> Electric). Some Element has sub Elemental magic and can be learned either through special mana or having an affinity towards it. Elemental magic can be genetic as well. One can learn Elemental magic through Elemental Affinity/Elemental Mana Affinity."

{Special mana is race-based mana, and each race has its own unique mana. One can inherit special mana but cannot learn.}

"Flip"

"…..Unique Magic: Two types of magic falls under unique magic, Light and Darkness. One learns the unique magic through mana affinity towards the unique magic….."

{Mana Affinity, when one's mana has Affinity over elemental magic or unique magic, then they can learn it without any difficulty.}

"Flip"

"…..Unknown Magic: Again, two types of magic fall under unknown magic; Time and Space. Only this magic type isn't based on mana affinity. It is totally random (selects his host and stays with them forever). One with the Unkown Magic can also have another magic based on mana affinity….."

"Flip"

"….There's another type of magic, which has no proof but its existence is believed, and that is Celestial Magic or Heavenly Magic….."

"Flip"

"…..Each magic has its own Tier. Starting from Tier-1/T1 to Tier-8/T8), the higher the Tier number stronger the magic one has. Except for Unknown types of magics (Time and Space), every other magic can get stronger and reach a higher Tier. That is also why Unknown magic is called Unknown….."

{Highest Tier ever known to reach here is Tier-8 or T8}

"Flip"

"…..Mana Usage: There are two types of using mana inside your body. One way is to cover your body with mana's original state and enhance it. This will increase your damage, speed, reflex even enhance all your five senses. It is mostly used for combat-type magic."

"Flip"

"…..Another way is to use your original mana to take the form of the magic you use. One needs to emit their original mana to the outer world and blend with the surrounding mana, taking the form of magic. More the faster they blend the surrounding mana with their mana faster they can use it. This way, one can use it for range fights…."

"Flip"

"…..Mana-manipulation: Both external and internal, exist in people, places, and objects and can be transmuted by the user into magical powers that yields upstanding results in both practice and combat. Two different ways are External Mana-manipulation and Internal Mana-manipulation…."

"Flip"

"….Mana can also be used to craft valuable materials like equipment (weapons, armours, etc.)that provide buff…."

"Flip" "Flip," "Flip," "Flip"

I kept on flipping these pages cause, as of now, I don't want to, or I don't have to read it. And then I finally flipped the last page, and this was written, "…..Disclaimer: This is just a simple guide on how to use mana and magic. There's more to it that one cannot imagine. Every second, one learns something new about mana and magic. Magic is infinite...."

"Chuckles," this is something he will say.

I closed the book and kept it aside.

So this is "Guide To Magic" Well, it's kinda weak in terms of information; I mean, this is like a few percent of what we can do after what I have seen. But there's this one term, "Celestial Magic," which piqued my interest. I never heard it in my previous life, nor did I have it.

Alright, then first, I will learn a new element. Let's which element I should learn first? I thought for a minute and finally decided on one.

Electric, Yes, I will learn the Electric element. Then I will start with the basics of the Electric element first.

I sat down, legs folded.

Well, I don't have a mana affinity towards electric elements. However, one still can learn it though it was not mentioned in the book. To be honest, not everyone knows this method, and not everyone can learn through this method. The method is known as Imagination, a simple word yet not a simple word.

It's not as easy as you think. Let's go with an example. Let's say you have the ability to make or appear anything in front of you just by imagining it. Now let's imagine a house and make it appear in front of us. Let's be honest here, when you imagine a house, you just imagine a house and not the things that are inside a house, right? So now imagine a house with all interiors and everything inside a house and now makes it appear. Now it's an actual house, right? But what makes it hard is imagining all the things inside the house and then making it step by step and later the whole house. In short, you need a lot of concentration for that.

The same goes for magic, but it gets harder depending upon the element you are learning in magic. Learning the electric element is the hardest, but if you could understand this, you get stronger a lot of times than you are, but only when you actually learn it thoroughly.

Even I didn't know about this method. It was taught to me in my previous life.

I now started concentrating on my mana core and started imagining how one can use the electric element.

After a lot of concentration, I finally formed some sparkles of dense white colour with a blue tint on its border, making it an Electric blue colour.

Not bad, but this is gonna take a hell of a lot of time to learn. If I could learn it before I enter dungeons, then it would help me a lot.

And yeah, I also need to speed run my Guild rank and get my hands on those mana crystals as soon as possible and also learn a few other things. "sigh," so much to do.

Even after all these complaints, I still continued my training.
