Measuring Mana!

Waking up the next day he felt as if mana was more quantifiable 'If mana is in units then I should have 10 right now.. but it feels like I have a bit more?.' it was only then that he realized that his body was a bit bigger 'I put some mana into it yesterday it's bigger now and I can measure mana.. Did I upgrade myself?'

feeling more and more like he was playing a game he started drawing in the blue light 'No it's called mana..' leaving just enough to stay conscious he put five units of mana into the blue rock watching it slowly grow bigger he realized he had 5.5 units of mana left 'I did upgrade myself.'

trying to break another wall he came to the assumption that he need 10+ units of mana to break a cubic foot of stone

there was nothing else left to do so he started channeling the mana into his body before blacking out

Waking up the next day he had 10.5 mana to start with the first thing he thought about was upgrading himself the first one had taken 1 the second one 5 the next one should be 10 right? channeling 4.5 mana in he waited for the stone to get bigger it did not he tried adding another 5 mana this time the stone started getting bigger.

It felt like he had a system screen in his mind the next upgrade would take 25 units of mana while clearing a cubic foot of stone took 10 mana, there was another option he hadn't tested before: Add cubic foot of land to dungeon 1 mana. he had just enough mana left to do it but how?

When he had broken the stone he had imagined it crumbling but what did you do for claiming..?

Imaging pressing a button did nothing..

'Grid lines!'

Imagining grid lines fill up the area of stone he was in he marked it off ten by ten before letting blue light fill up the square he was trying to claim before merging with the grid lines marking the area

watching the blue light start disappearing he prepared to black out
