15 Chapter15: Practicing
Lukas studied the sigils intently, practicing each one dozens of times to try and commit them to memory. Unlike normal paper, the practice desk reacted to the sigils, allowing him to manipulate an imaginary 3D object hovering above its surface.
As he tapped and swiped, the object would spin and rotate, displaying any side he directed it to.
While practicing, Ama sent a few messages about sigils. He responded to them and also asked some questions, benefiting each other.
After a series of thorough practice sessions, he finally grasped the essence of sigil creation. As a result of his dedicated training, he successfully gasped total of eight sigils, including those he had learned in the past.
• Sigil of the Mind: Alters the shape of the summoned Elemental essence.
• Sigil of Solidity: Condenses the raw essence.
• Sigil of Spiraling Coil: Adds spiraling movement around the essence.
• Sigil of Earthen Cover: Envelops the essence with a layer of earth.
• Sigil of Sharpness: Enhances sharpness.
• Pathwave Sigil: Locks onto the target to increase accuracy.
• Sigil of Softness: Reduces impact.
• Sigil of the Ball: Transforms the shape into a circular form.
Finally, the moment had arrived for his use of magic attempt. He reached for the trainee wand, aware that without a medium, he would be unable to manifest his influence on the world without an Aura zone. This zone typically forms around the third or fourth circle.
Taking a step back from the testing dummy, he commenced infusing mana into the small wand. As soon as he did so, a screen materialized on the wall behind the dummy.
[Mana consumption: none
Standards: 0 ]
"Interesting," he murmured, his gaze fixed on the wall. The appearance of the screen was undoubtedly an indicator of his progress, revealing how his practice was going.
Putting some of the aura on his eyes. He can clearly see. The place was highly reinforced by high class magic. Meaning he can go wild here!.
With excitement, he aimed the staff at the dummy, channeling his mana and the newfound "Earthen essence" energy within him. Almost instantly, a small ball of Earth essence materialized, followed by another sigil that transformed the essence into a spike-like shape before vanishing.
And gradually, another sigil began to take shape around it. Lukas encountered some difficulty, as it was his first attempt at drawing it. He focused on creating the "Sigil of Spiraling Coil."
The Sigil of Spiraling Coil materialized with focused effort, then quickly dissipated. Lukas was delighted as the essence began to spin rapidly, with small blades extending from the tip to the bottom, forming a drill-like shape.
He can already feel, His mana was slowly running out. He quickly formed the other two, One of them was easier to form as he already practiced it many times.
" Sigils of burst" as he was about to draw the last one. " Sigils of sharpness".
The spell lost control before Lukas could finish it, launching off towards the target but missing completely. It crashed down on the wall, causing no damage.
Resulting,
[Mana consumption: mid
Standards: 17% ]
Lukas struggled as his spell misfired, launching towards the target but missing completely. It crashed into the wall without causing any damage. His mana was drained and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"This is so challenging," Lukas muttered, wiping the sweat off his brow.
"Of course," the Professor commented. "The Pathwave sigil is crucial. Your accuracy is lacking."
"But if I incorporate it, controlling the others will become easier," he mused, a smile appearing on his face.
"For now," he said, tossing the wand onto the bed before turning his attention to each hand.
Two red tattoos gradually appeared on each hand.
Before, slowly on his right hand. A purple book formed with an infinite logo. And from the center of his right palm. A pen appeared above his hand, surrounded by a thick deep blank and purple aura.
This is his soul gear! Unlike the restrictions of being uncontrollable and High usage of mana. His soul gear have none. Of course, the exception was the first cast and drawing of the spell.
He grabbed the pen firmly, and the book slowly landed on his left hand. His arms were immediately surrounded by a dark purple aura that looked like translucent flames.
"If this was not so flashy, I could have really used it in public."
The pages turned themselves before finally coming to a halt on the first page, which displayed his stats.
[]Soul Power: 15.6
Mana: 6%[1st circle unfinished]
Aura: 78%[ 6th layer 56%]
Element: Not Awakened
[•] Creation [•]
• Mana circulation Lv 3, Mana shift Lv 4,
"3% improvement on the first circle is not too bad," he muttered.
The page's turned over before stopping on the Mana circulation Lv3 showing a sigil.He activated it immediately.
The sigils gradually began to glow and detach from the page while hovering on it.
It immediately activated and began gathering mana, which entered through his mana veins. Circulating couple mana cycle throughout his body resulting mana recovery.
After done, The sigils slowly fall down on the page. Returning, ready to be recast.
The lv in the title blinks for a second, and the "Lv:3" part changes to Lv4!
This was how frightening his soul gear was; activating it cost him less than 10% of its original cost. And it can be reused! And the sigils inscribed can level up, increasing the output.
"Good, it leveled up," said Lukas, grabbing the pen.
The page turned to a blank page. And he slowly started inscribing sigils. He did not have to worry about limiting himself with this.
As Lukas drew the sigils one by one using the pen, he found it to be a simple task. Unlike drawing with his mind and mana, this method was much easier for him. After a few minutes, he had completed all the combinations he could think of, incorporating everything he could imagine. The result was the most powerful bolt spell he could come up with. As he continued drawing the sigils, he had another realization of something even more overpowering.
The sigil that gave the initial shape is Mind sigil. Which does simple tasks like making it circular or making it like wider or like a stick.
And the elemental esscens doesn't appear out of the blue from the sigil but from him.
Meaning, To use his soul gear he first have to take out elemental esscens and then he have to shape itself with Mind sigil. And after then would he able to cast the writen combination of spells.
"I guess the only solution is to purchase pre-constructed shapely sigils," Lukas muttered to himself. "Unfortunately, I don't currently have any."
The shapely sigils come in various forms, such as arrows, swords, and more. They are primarily designed for individuals with lower concentration and soul power. It's strange for Lukas to realize that he may need these types of sigils someday. After all, they are typically used by those who are less talented in their abilities.
" Sigh, lets atlest try" He muttered.
And stood Infront of the dummy. The pen started changing, before expanding turning into a deep black with a mix of purple color saber.
The book Disapeared from his hand. And the three circles on the saber started spinning.
Lukas carefully observed as a substantial amount of Earthen essence began to form in front of the sword. He realized that he had forgotten to add the mind sigil on the book's page, which meant he would have to manually shape and activate the essence.
With a focused mind, Lukas skillfully formed the mind sigil, causing the shape of the essence to gradually transform into that of a sword. However, he quickly realized that mastering this technique would require more practice than he initially anticipated. In order to simplify the process, he swiftly changed the shape of the essence to the easiest form: a circle.
Without hesitation, Lukas activated the written spell script, ready to unleash the power that he had carefully crafted.
Which contains:
Sigils of sharpness, Sigil of spiraling coil, Sigil of solidness, Pathwave sigil, Sigil of burst.
