Returning to his estate, Eldrian spent the rest of the day just experimenting with the ways he could control spells at the moment. Wondering as he did whether it was smart to attempt developing his own spells versus just learning others and adapting them as he had always done.
'It might be a step back, but it will allow me to make progress while I try to understand the math.' Eldrian thought and decided that he might as well attempt it.
His options were: figure out how to cast through simply wishing for the spells to form, master the math behind the creation of spells, or take a step back and the added training it would take to get the spell to the level all his other spells were at.
Eldrian decided that taking the step back was better than just waiting. However, he still made this a lower priority at the moment. He wanted to hang out with the players of Phoenix a bit and also help them where he can. Making money while at it was certainly a nice bonus.
