=============================
Damian looked at the magic part and understood that the (+5) is due to his First Men heritage. He needed 2 more points to access his magic but to use it was a different matter altogether. Just like for you to use a bullet you need a gun to fire it. He needed to find a way to use his Mana. One way he could think of making use of the First Men's Runes.
Bran the builder used them to create the wall in the North, build huge castles like Winterfell and helped in building castle-like Storms End, Hightower's Castle and maybe Highgarden too if the books and other sources are to be believed.
Of course, he had the help of the Giants and Children of the Forest and especially his runes or else he would not have been able to build so many structures in just one lifetime. Perhaps, Damian could experiment with his magic on charging runes and see if it works or not.
It could also be possible to use his mana to bend elements like Avatar. Damian could only hope it is that way or else, his magic would be quite redundant in actual combat.
He decided it was better to see what happens after his Mana is unlocked. Therefore, Damian put two of his free points in that stat. Also, he put 1 Special Attribute Point into Warging to unlock it, just because who doesn't want to have a companion like Ghost? To be able to see through the eyes of your companion or another animal is one hell of a skill. With all the spying he could do on his enemies, Damian wanted this ability, as it definitely has a use of his magic, to get unlocked as soon as possible.

After adding those stats, Damian immediately felt a difference in himself. He felt a rush in his head and when that ended, he felt his head getting clearer than before. He also something filling his veins and flowing through his body if he concentrated in feeling it.
[Constitution +1]
Damian saw a notification appearing in front of him stating his constitution has increased by a point. The explanation he got from the system is that mana helps in reinforcing the body. And the more mana his body is producing the more he will benefit his constitution in the long run and that effect is vice versa. That means, improving his constitution will make it easy for him to see improvement in his mana capacity too.
All those stats are actually interdependent on each other, which is great becasue he will have to make less effort in improving the others and possibly save some points in the long run.
As for the Warg ability, he did not feel anything at all. Perhaps, he has to bond with an animal to see how it works. At one point in Warging, he could only enter the mind of a normal animal and not humans or magical beasts and if he did force himself to do so then he might get a backlash. Also, he can't move when he wargs into that animal. To do that he will need to put more points into warging or train his ability to improve it.
As for how many animals he could enter, that entirely depends on his mana capacity.
Now that leaves 1 free point in his arsenal. Damian thought it was better to not use it now as he could feel he was very close to increasing his other stats by one if he properly trained for a moon or so. A courtesy of the Mana and Constitution stat.

"Let's see. What should I do now?" Damian voiced aloud.
"Should check out the mansion and the outside." Damian saw that the mansion, or countryside house if you will, had nothing in it that he would call as modern. It was a Medieval house with no modern amenities but the design and furnishing were first-class and felt very luxurious.
"Thank god, it has plumbing. Now I don't need to shit in the wild and wipe my ass with leaves." Damian said after he came across the bathroom with a big tub in it and an attached toilet. Both had an outlet from which he could fetch water. He had to see how it worked though.
The master bedroom was big with a king-sized feather-filled bed.
When Damian walked outside the mansion, he saw that there was no sun in the sky and he couldn't see far because the horizon felt a little too near to him.
"Don't tell me!" Damian quickly ran in one direction for a whole half an hour before he saw the mansion again. The lake was always on his left side and on the right was a plain land that had some bushes and knee-length grass growing on it.
"God damn, this place is small," Damian exclaimed after getting a hold of his breath. He immediately thought of King Kai's planet from Dragon Ball Z. This place was similar to it but maybe just a tad bit bigger.
