Magic Part 2

In order to develop your magic you must first master meditation through that you will attract the wild energy in the air. A strong spirit boosts meditation speed and efficiency, you must then saturate your body with the energy accumulated filling every part of your body with its energy.

Then direct that energy into the center of your core were, you will inscribe the five basic runes into your core. It will be impossible to increase the amount of magic in your body or cast a spell until this part is complete.

After completion you will be considered a beginner apprentice mage to advance further you must inscribe the next set of runes, there are 15 that must be inscribed for that one. An advanced apprentice must inscribe an additional 24 in there core completing array than have their spirit reach the max their body can handle to prepare for the advancement ritual.

"In total, it's telling me I have to inscribe 44 different runes on that crystal inside me I'm following what they're saying but my core is so small how am I gonna fit them all". I ponder over how I'm going to do it than decide to just try meditating and see how it goes.

The book said I could sit or pose in any way I want magi skilled enough in meditation can do it in their sleep. "In my sleep you say, man, I got to learn that" I try the basic meditation technique on my old world sitting cross leg, hands folded, closed my eyes, taking in deep breaths and cleared my mind of all thoughts. I took the meditation very seriously more serious than any test or the first time yo confess to your love.

A full half an hour passes and nothing happens is it because meditation is a state of being I must fully let go to feel the magic around me. Two hours pass by I'm still meditating People have always said it's hard to let go of your worldly possessions this must be what's happening. Five hours pass it's dark all around me there is nothing but darkness my butt hurts from sitting on the floor for so long I want to scratch it but I resist the urge.

6 hours have passed honestly I'm currently wondering what kind of TV shows they got on her I mean they managed to develop a TV. After 8 hours I had no idea when I started feeling stupid but I wasn't thinking about it because I was already long asleep in an upright possession with the couch supporting me up.

After a good night's sleep, I wake up with some drool on my face, walked to the bathroom to take a leak than look at the mirror to gaze at the powerful mage that I have become "I look like shit".

Honestly, why did I have to be stuck in an old man's body if I had known I would have chosen something cooler or someone handsome at least well it's not like I was drowning in options at the time.

Besides that why couldn't I feel the magic in the air flying towards me as the book said? It told me that through meditation you must use your spirit to attract the elemental particular than guide it toward your core to inscribe the runes. so why is meditation just as useless as back in my world.

The instruction was so simple to just meditate and use your spirit, that when it dawned on Desmond the key to practicing magic "spirit the book said it so many times but I kept missing it meditation was just for people to get in tune with their spirit that's why so many have a hard time and couldn't get past the basic stage. They couldn't utilize their spirit but I am not like them I am one".

But, why couldn't I see any magic In my spirit form I should have bumped into a few elemental particles when I was flying but I got no stronger. I also remember feeling it at the seekers' gate but I couldn't see it, is it because my soul was too weak then and is still too weak now or is it because both souls and humans have different ways of getting stronger.

That might explain it in my soul form I got stronger by consuming another soul while as a human I need to inscribe all these runes and feel the magic In the air which is a hassle I really hope I can still consume other souls.

I try poking out my soul to see if I can see any elemental particles in the air but I saw nothing. So I then extended my soul out of both of my hands I still can't extend it far but using my soul to constantly make those threads so I can force my body yo keep going improved my skill. Making covering both my palms with my soul easy work allowing me to flap my arms in the air wildly till I hit something.

It looked like I was having a sissyfight with the wind. It only took a few seconds before it felt like I hit something. I couldn't see it but I could tell it was small and had a life force like a living person. This filled me with joy since only caught one, for now, I decided to make it my practice tool. I directed the spec up my arm toward the bean-sized core to see what would happen.

I could feel the spec getting closer to my core about to touch it and when it did I got launched backward ripping the bathroom curtain and slamming me into the wall hard. I slumped down on to the toilet with my legs hanging out, that hit knocked the wind out of me.

"Oh ya I completely forgot my soul is damaged isn't it " I laugh at my situation then let out a little grunt of pain.
