Chapter 11: Purple eyes and seeing magic

The day after I woke up I felt better than ever before. I wanted to clean up the mess I created yesterday but before that I needed to test my magic.

I calmed my mind and began to focus on moving a candle but as soon as I willed it the candle moved on its own. I was stunned then I tried several other things and The results were astonishing. I could move objects with incredible precision. It was like my ability to do magic was enhanced like thousand times.

The more I experimented the more amazed I was about the effect of ritual to the point I thought about doing a few other rituals. Though I was just thinking about it. One thing about rituals is that if you do not wish to see any side effect appearing like getting weaker or looking like Voldemort there are precautionary rules you must follow.

The first rule of those rules is that a ritual is like an equivalent exchange so you must prepare to pay the price. It is best you prepare before hand. Astral blessing was no exception to this rule. I did not know the price but during the ritual I realized in order to go through astral blessing you needed to sacrifice your mental power, all your innate magic power to under go a test of potential, control of magic power and will power if you had these you can get the blessing and your innate magic power go through an evolution if not then your magic will be taken by the ritual and there is a risk to lose your mind.

The second rule is limiting the number of rituals you do in your life not overdoing it otherwise rituals can negate the effect of each other. It is also the possibility they enhance the side effect of each other but there is a worst scenario in which it is that the previous rituals cause a disturbance in the current one leading to devastating consequence which death pale in comparison.

Third rule is rituals may have unexpected consequences. I thought I was one of the lucky ones till I saw my self in the mirror. It was as if lightning had struck me. My eyes were purple. Well at the very least purple eyes are kind of cool. I at first was worried about my family finding out but then I remembered the magic I can do best wandlessly is light manipulation. Though I am not strong enough to shoot laser beams I can absorb the light so that my eyes seem black.

Now that I knew I could fix the problem with the change of my eye color I examined them again. The eyes shone like a purple gem and seemed to hide some kind of radiance in them. When I tried to focused on that radiance I found my surroundings seemed to have changed. I could see some kind of energy inside of me I could see it around me it was everywhere

Yes I could see magic.
