One month later...

"Hey! Are you paying attention! Siv!"

Aaahhhh...

Why is she always bothering me so much!

Yeah, the one...and only person who I interacted with pretty much for the last month was this brat Elika.

I don't particularly hate her, just annoyed at the moment, hopefully she'll become more mature in the future.

For the last month I had been able to accomplish alot of my plans, especially with Elika's help.

She had been able to convince her parents to procure many hard-to-obtain resources and materials.

Now you might be wondering, wouldn't she get caught by her parents with where these things disappeared to after she gave them to me?

Easy.

The things she would get, I would use to create a multitude of potions, items and so on i would need in preparation of the future.

The left overs I would condense and reform into objects that Elika can use for her magical projects.

I guess the reason why her magicka was on par with a adult's magicka quantity is that she was partially gifted.

She attends a Magic school that is not so far way from the Mage's Guild.

She would use those spare materials and experiments of mine to help improve herself in her magical studies.

Elika exceeded my expectations, I had thought she would pass on my achievements as her own, but she didn't.

She actually used my spare materials of failed projects to use as a basis for her own creations.

I'm impressed, I guess she isn't a muscle bound moron as I had initially thought, she is just very stubborn, childish and immature, but she is definitely skilled in magic but isn't a prodigy.

I know this because I was able to learn Mysticism, or at least I am able to properly utilise it now.

I made a Divination spell that would make Shalidor, Miraak, the Dragon Priests and Divayth Fyr all strangle me to death if they learned about it.

I'm pretty sure Hermaeous Mora has told Miraak about this already.

It's a bit obvious he would spy on me, he knows everything, no point in trying to hide it, good thing is I'm 80% sure he doesn't know about my experiments and inventions yet.

Back on track!

I made a spell that utilised the natural elements, mainly water.

The spell I created would show me a magical mirror in front of me, and through it would show me hundreds of different images.

These images are also part of the same spell which would use tge moisture and water content in the surrounding air, and quite literally the entire planet, through these magical "water eyes" of mine.

Of course i can't do that...yet...but I will.

If I didn't then I should just off myself since everything in this Universe I now live in is at least that strong, especially Alduin, Harkon, Potema and Miraak who ill have to face at some point as I'm not sure if my presence had altered events.

And that is a big no no I need to ensure is a big yes yes that happens.

Besides, I'm still not sure if I'm the Dragonborn or not until I absorb a Dragon's Soul for absolute confirmation.

Speaking of which, I had been able to learn how to use the Thu'um!

I mean, I made a puff of wind with FUS (Force), the first Word of Power of [Unrelenting Force]

But I did have to manipulate some of my Magicka to be able to use it, but it didn't actually consume any of my Magicka.

Weird, it's more like I had to shift the Magicka to my vocal cords and throat and then it would allow for me to use the Thu'um without any negative effects.

Learning how to manipulate the Magicka within me was a pain but thanks to Elika procuring me some books from the Magic school and from the Mage's Guild via asking her parents, I'd been able to improve my Magical knowledge greatly within this month.

The Thu'um is just a form of Tonal Manipulation, in fact even the Dwemer could use the Thu'um if they wanted to but instead a Dwemer called Kagranac used it to create the Tools of Kagranac.

Yep, I could potentially create the Tools of Kagranac if I had the knowledge, and I have a good way to get it.

Anyway, I learnt how to use magic properly instead of the half assed tricks I had been doing before, especially during my escape from Commander Rella, Elika's mom, when she chased me throughout the city a month ago.

I know Mysticism is a school that encompasses all the other schools of magic.

Alteration - Alters a bunch of things. Can "alter" your skin to be as hard as iron or dragon scales. Can also make iron into gold.

Restoration - Healing Spells and "Holy spells" to harm undead.

Destruction - "I rolled a D20, I cast my 'Fireball' spell at that level 4 undead skelton archer over there *casts Fireball*"

Enchanting - Absolutely broken and illegal. Enchants effects onto your crafted items and there you go. You are now a "God of Elder Scrolls"...."It just works".

Illusion - Illusion...that's it...

Conjunction - Summons the souls of beings from the Plains of Oblivion into the material physical world. Can Summon souls from the Soul Carn or Daedra and Elements from the Plains of Oblivion and the various Daedric Princes/Gods.

It also has Thaumaturgy, which is just a bunch of paradoxical and varying Spells. But it is just classified as "skills".

What? You were expecting some kind of lengthy explanation like some Cultivation Novel?

I could go on and on, I mean...I read 3 entire books on a single school of magic!

Hmm, who am I even talking to? I must be going mad or I'm breaking the 4th wall? Sheogorath would be proud of me!

Continuing on, there are more types of magic, but all these schools are required to learn and master Mysticism.

One can even stop Time and teleport all over the place like the Psijic Monks can, they use Mysticism, so to does Mannimarco and Divayth Fyr, the most OP old man to exist.

With that out of the way, I had been practicing and had been successful in casting many Spells. Including being able to create a few new ones.

Now that I explained that, how dod I use the Thu'um?

Well like mey previous explanation, I manipulated the Magicka inside myself to reposition themselves to certain points.

I could use the default way like how the Nords can use it, and me being a Falmer...well...a half breed Falmer that is.

Maybe my father was a Nord or I really am Dragonborn, either one, I coughed up some blood when I tried the default way.

To use the Thu'um, you must first understand the definition of the Word of Power and what they are defined as individually.

I will use the ome of the top five most powerful Shouts to exist to best explain it, also my 3rd favourite Shout, [Bend Will].

For me, "GOL" which is "Earth" in the [Bend Will] shout means to command the will of animals, creatures and Mother Nature herself and the very Earth obeys your command.

For me, "HAH" which is "Mind" means to dominate the minds of those that are lesser than your own and of those around you. To make them submit to your will, to obey your commands, they are your puppet fir you have taken their Mind from them. Their Mind is yours to control, all you need do is to command them to do so, via using [Bend Will].

The final Word of Power of [Bend Will] is "DOV" which is "Dragon". To command all beings, for Dragons stand at the apex of all life, they are Immortal, they are not to be dominated, but they were created by Akatosh to dominate others. It is in their nature. And for one to be able to command them, via [Bend Will], means that you can dominate ANYTHING to your will.

When one has their own deeper understanding of a Word of Power, they will be able to use the Thu'um with enough practice and meditation on those Words of Power.

"HEEEEEEYYYY!!! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING MEEEEE!!!"

Oh shit! I was completely lost in my thoughts again that I forgot about her!

...

I had just watched Avatar Way of Water in cinemas today.

no spoilers!

it was alright but had its flaws such as poor introduction and build up to the Villain and reuse of many previous things in the last movie.

like they keep quoting everything from the last movie trying to think that if they do this the success the last movie did could be copied Iver to the 2nd movie.

if the first movie was 7 out of 5 stars then Way of Water would be 4.65 out of 5.

I didn't say everything as that would need soilers to explain which I won't but I will say that it is good and visually it is stunning.

you should go watch it, it'll bring a good feeling of nostalgia and...a sense of freedom which everyone craves in this grim reality called the real world.

I also posted a spoiler 10 second yt short on my yt channel, go watch it, be warned of one major but predicted spoiler though.
