After the dust settled down, Liam got up from his spot and dusted himself, but he did not head back to the gnome campsite.
Instead, he walked over to sit in front of another huge rock, placing sufficient distance between himself and the rock.
He sat down in a cross-legged position and exhaled and inhaled a few times, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.
He then began practicing.

Small sparks, one after another materialized in front of him and shot forward, all aimed at a single spot on the huge rock.
This time Liam did not activate the spell using the system's help and manipulated the spell on his own.
When he had tried to mess with the gnome earlier, he clearly saw the sparks splattering, not fully contained within the small red button.
So he couldn't help but wonder if that was why the gnome had been aggroed instead of just simply malfunctioning.
