Ember Asking Morpheus- "What Is Mate?"

Ember was going through the book she supposedly 'borrowed' from the King's study. She could read the contents and understand the words thanks to learning the rune language of the kingdom. 

It was quite slow, but she recognized that the book was talking about various magic spells, explaining what they were for and how to use them with various different diagrams. She could understand the words by themselves but the concept and the explanations were quite difficult for her to grasp.

"Amplifying magic… by changing the structures…? Will it be alright to simply memorize these? It doesn't mention how to use spells like the ones Gaia used. It talks about making strong magic, but I only know how to create an illusion to fool an enemy. Gaia can change forms to scare people away, but I only know one form. This book is really complicated. I have been re-reading this part multiple times but it still doesn't make sense…"

Ember pursed her lips as she flipped to another page.
