Water Spells

Leus got up excitedly, Ready to learn Water Spells

'Okay, I remember there were three spells'

Leus went to his desk

First, He'd learn the chants of all three spells, then he'd focus on silently casting them later

He opened the book

(Water Magic:

Bubble: A simple water bubble can be used to intercept fireballs or to choke someone to death, Tho, that's only in theory.

People will run, or slam the bubble, causing the water to scatter.

Practically, the idea of choking someone with a bubble is impossible

Unless your target is tied up and unable to move or unconscious.

It's much cleaner to smother your victim with a water bubble than to kill him with a fireball or a spear.

Bubbles are also used to smother trapped Beasts in case you want to maintain the body.

Note: This spell has some similarities to Fireball.

Hydraulic: An extremely pressurized small bullet of water that may penetrate your opponent.

This spell is not common, Which makes it even better against unaware opponents.

It's highly likely that your target might not see the water bullet and fail to avoid it, unlike a huge spear or a glowing fireball flying at them.

Hydraulic can be a good assassination tool, But it's difficult to use and may not be strong enough in some situations.

Fluid-Smoother: An advanced level of water magic, Allowing you to use small amounts of water to make your moves more fluid or make your opponent trip.

In simple words it's a lubrication system that reduces friction, Thus increaes the speed.

However, it's very difficult to use correctly and requires a lot of experience.

It'd be enough to learn the spell even if you're unable to incorporate it into anything practical.

Note: This spell creates water with thicker properties than normal, Do not drink it)

'That spell is too complicated, I don't think I'll actually use it'

'I can use Boost to increase my speed instead, Which is a lot simpler'

Leus quickly memorized the incantations of every spell. Which for some reason never really took him long.

After he was done he went outside to begin his training

'First, I'll start with Bubble'

Leus repeated Bubble's incantation

Immediately, a bubble of water materialized, It was the same size as a fireball

Leus took note of what he felt

'It is indeed very similar to Fireball'

'The spell has the same faint control over its size and speed'

'Basically, It's a Water version of Fireball'

Leus also realized something

'As I and Mom expected, I do have an affinity for Water'

Just like Fire, He felt clarity, easiness, and lower Mana Consumption with Water spells

Because this spell was similar to Fireball, Leus learned it very quickly

'I'll just do as I did in the very beginning'

'I'll Learn all three spells at the same time instead of learning them one by one, Then I'll focus on silent casting later'

Leus aimed Bubble at the ground and started chanting the next spell, Hydraulic

'Interesting, The only thing I can control about this spell is its speed'

Hydraulic was basically a water bullet

'There's not much to experiment with or learn about'

'I just have to find out the perfect speed for it'

Leus tried the spell a couple of times then moved on to the third spell, Fluid-Smoother.

'Fluid-Smoother? What kind of a name is that?'

'The first thing I need to do with this spell is change its name.'

'I'll try it then based on what it does I'll give it an appropriate name'

Leus chanted the spell and once again, Took note of everything he felt

' ... Complicated'

'This spell is extremely precise, it's a very pin-pointed stream of thick water'

'Well, As the book said it'd reduce friction but what would I do with it? Slide while running?'

Leus spent a couple of seconds thinking about a proper name for it, Then he snapped his fingers

'Got it!'

'Splash'

'It's a splash of water, Its new name will be Splash'

Because the spell was complicated, Leus decided that he'd use this spell exactly as it was with no alterations whatsoever.

'I also doubt that I'd ever use it, So there's no point in putting that much effort into it'

After roughly understanding the three spells, Leus began his serious training.

'I'll completely master them'

He tirelessly practiced the three spells day and night, aiming for complete mastery.

Now that his Mana Pool was large enough to train all day without issues, his control over the Water element surpassed that of the Earth and Wind elements.

'Having an affinity for something really makes training a lot easier'

It took Leus about 10 days to be done mastering all three spells, The only use he found for Splash was to slide while running, but it wasn't really practical

'It's fun, But that's it'

Finally, After Leus was satisfied with his mastery over the spell, He decided to start silently casting them.

'The first step is to focus on the feeling the spells gave me, Then learn to convert the Neutral Mana to Water mana'

'Well, That's gonna take a while, But I'm sure it won't be much.'

And He was right about it!

It took him only 3 weeks to fully master converting Neutral Mana to water mana, Even less time than it took him to transform it to Fire Mana

'Probably because my mana pool is now bigger than it was when I trained on Fire'

By now, Leus was 3 years and a little more than 3 months old

He was excited

'I'll definitely finish long before the deadline'

Aiming to finish faster, Leus began silently casting Bubble

'I already have the perfect size and speed in mind'

'I'll just make it exactly like my fireballs, Skull sized'

The spell was extremely simple, So it took him only a couple of days.

After that Leus began silently casting Hydraulic

And when he did that, It turned out that Hydraulic was the most interesting spell he knew of.
