29. Tattoo of Luck

Until the evening, I was busy reading the Archamada Book. The book itself was written in Latin. It's good that I also learned Latin, I knew that it would come in handy.

In the book itself, there were mainly descriptions of the Charms themselves and their secrets.

About the Charms of Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis and Electrokinesis, nothing significant was written there. Their description is completely true. That is, telekinesis, pyrokinesis and electrokinesis, respectively.

Also, there were several offensive spells for each Charms.

For example, there is a spell for the Charm of Telekinesis - «Awakatelo Foligeto». It allows to animate and manipulate plants using telekinesis. It works without the amulet, but much weaker. Quite a powerful spell, it can be very useful in some situations.

Or, for example, «Bretov Alagoria». This spell causes nearby objects, such as debris, to levitate and attack or pursue the target.

There is also - «Eterla Morbulous», which gives limited control over the ground and allows create cracks in the ground.

For the Charms of Pyrokinesis there is a spell - «Berdi Mordo Nata», which allows to create a fire attack, more like a plasma beam. By the way, it doesn't work without the Amulet.

There is also - «Küd-Zuu Teqkk», it allows to create a huge tsunami from fire.

The Charm of Electrokinesis has a spell - «Rava Eelartas Gallametroy», capable of creating a storm with lightning, completely controlled by the wizard.

«Lata Avidimona Lata» - Gives limited control over metal, thanks to electromagnetic waves.

For the Charms of Luck and Resurrection, there are no offensive spells, only control methods.

For example, the Charm of Resurrection can indeed resurrect a person, but this is a one-time way.

A person can be returned from the afterlife only if two conditions are met.

Firstly, no more than two hours should elapse after death. Secondly, the corpse must be more or less intact. If a limb is missing, nothing else. But if there is no head, then nothing will work.

To resurrect a person, need to put the Charm in the hand of the corpse and crush the charm itself. In a few minutes, the person should fully recover and revive.

Also, there were written ways to use the treatment. How to speed up healing or how to leave passive regeneration. And of course there are instructions on how to heal other people with the Charm.

For the Charm of Luck, there are instructions on how to tie the amulet to yourself so that it cannot be stolen and used by other people. And also, methods of control over the charm itself are described.

To bind the charm, need to perform a small ritual. Soak the Charm with own magic for two hours, then sprinkle it with blood and cast a long spell.

There is also a way to manage the luck absorb. For example, can use it in one go.

Plus, the book tells how to manage where luck comes from. Can simply absorb it from the environment, or can take a little bit and fill the "reserve" gradually.

The best option is to take luck only from people with negative karma, for example, from criminals. The radius is quite large, almost 50 kilometers.

There were also spells in the book that had nothing to do with the amulets themselves. For example, a time travel spell that was used several times by Gwen of the Future.

There are also spells associated with The Keystone of Bezel. The Stone itself allows to increase the user's natural powers (strength, abilities, skills) tenfold. It also enhances the capabilities of the Charns themselves.

To find this Keystone, need to use the spell - «Darkara Dorokey Aghosto.»

If Charms of Bezel were destroyed there is a spell to recreate them - «Barban Hextida Zerzam», but it will only work in the presence of a solar eclipse.

In my opinion, the most useful spell is «Botigs Zaborito Carpis Nebegear Gais Liphan Intruders Utien», an exorcism that works on the Ectonurites. It will be useful to me very soon, otherwise Ze'Skayr got me very much, I want to get rid of it already.

Of course there were other spells, but for now, I'll leave them alone. I have not yet studied the Book of Elementary Magic, so now I have no time for them.

Having finished studying the book, I decided to perform a ritual to tie the Charm of Luck. I have always believed that luck is the most useful force of all.

Most of the characters in books, manga, films and cartoons would not have succeeded if they were not lucky in time.

By this time, Max and Ashley were already sleep. And Gwen was still reading the second book on magic.

- Where are you going? - Gwen asked when she saw me getting off the bus.

- I want to do something. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Do not worry. - I said with a smile and got off the bus.

After walking a couple of kilometers, I stopped and sat down on a tree stump, after which I began to saturate the Charm with my Mana.

Exactly two hours later, I felt that the Charm was ready. Therefore, with the help of a knife, which I took specially for this, I cut my hand and sprinkled blood on the Charm.

The Charm itself absorbed all the blood. I had to cut my arm several times, as the regeneration worked faster than the charm was full.

After 15 minutes, the once gray charm became completely bloody. And the stripes on it, which used to burn yellow, now glow blue, the color of my magic.

It was written in the book that it was at this moment that need to cast a spell, which I did.

The spell was painfully complex and long. I had to read it for five whole minutes in a row.

When I finished chanting the spell, the Charm glowed with a bright blue color, after which it disintegrated into small pieces and absorbed into my left hand.

Taking off the bracelet with Morgana, I saw on my wrist a black tattoo in the form of a symbol that was on the Charm of Luck itself.

When I tried to get up from the stump, I caught the root and at that moment the tattoo shone blue. I was still able to get to my feet, but a hefty bump fell from the tree onto the stump on which I was sitting. Lucky.

So the Amulet, although it's more like a tattoo, is working.

First, I decided to completely customize the action of the Tattoo of Luck. Now, luck is absorbed only by criminals and other trash.

Also, I made it so that luck was constantly absorbed, but little by little, so that it was not noticeable to the outside world.

Plus, I created a large reserve inside for storing "extra" luck. This will always come in handy.

The Tattoo itself will work passively, but not too hard. I don't want to constantly find a gold watch on the road. It's cool, of course, but too tiring.

I don't want to be like one light novel character I read about in a past life. He was the luckiest man in the world, but everyone around him was unlucky. This I avoided thanks to the Tattoo settings.

But in that story there was a moment when a meteorite fell on this character, and there was just a mountain of gold in him, that is, he seemed to be lucky. He could easily survive it, but his environment is unlikely. I don't need that kind of luck.

The tattoo will only work fully when I need it. For example, if I want to play the lottery.

Or during a fight. For example, if I fight, with the same Vilgax, I will pump out his luck and use it for myself. In this case, he may well just stumble.

I did not set the level of luck too high. It won't be fun if my opponent slips and knocks himself out. No, it's certainly very funny and cool, but absolutely boring.

I will be lucky only when I want it or when I really need it.

But I can always increase my luck if I need it.

Putting the Morgana bracelet back on my wrist to hide the Tattoo of Luck, I decided to have some fun and test the work of my purchase.

Transformed into an XLR8, I ran to Las Vegas. Before entering the biggest casino, I turned into a Slug and assumed the guise of a random guy.

By this, besides the obvious, I also wanted to check if my Tattoo in the form of aliens works.

Entering the casino, I immediately went to the slot machines.

Sitting down at the first machine I came across, I put a token inside, pressed the button and immediately won $ 30,000. Everything seems to work despite the transformation.

Then, I decided to try my luck to the maximum. Walking over to the machine, where the jackpot was almost $ 7 million, I started the machine again. And he won again. This time he really hit the full jackpot.

Deciding to end there, since the casino staff had already begun to look at me badly, I took all my winnings and left.

Moving away from the casino, I noticed surveillance. Oh, how bad it is. Looks like the casino is playing dirty.

Entering the alley, I turned into a Ghostfreak and became invisible. Ten seconds later, two guy's in suits entered the alley. They held gun's in their hands.

While they were looking for the suddenly disappeared me, I flew up in one of them and appeared in front of him.

- Boo. - I shouted, right in his face.

- Aaaaaa ... Ghost - shouted the criminal, and lost consciousness with foam at his mouth. How timid he is, it's not even interesting.

The second guy sas me and started shooting with shouts. All the bullets went through me without causing absolutely no harm.

I decided to try the Tattoo of Luck, so turning my luck on to the maximum, I flew to it.

The second criminal, seeing the approaching Ghostfreak, began to move back. Suddenly, he kicked into a crack in the asphalt and began to fall. Falling, he hit his head and lost consciousness.

Ha. That was really funny.

Transformed into an XLR8, I ran to New Orleans, to our RV.

Becoming myself, I went inside and saw Gwen, angrily looking at me. She also put her hands on her hips. Looks very cute.

- Where have you been? - With a menacing note in her voice, asked Gwen.

- I decided to have some fun. I'll tell you everything tomorrow. Let's go to bed. It's already late. - I said in a whisper.

- Do you know how worried I was? You left your phone. You said that you would be gone for two hours, but almost four had already passed. I already thought that something serious had happened to you. - Gwen said in a whisper too, but with anger in her voice.

- What can happen to me. Do not be angry. Go here. - I said in a soothing tone and hugged her around the waist, kissed her lips.

Gwen happily answered the kiss, but with resentment in her voice, she said:

- I missed your kisses. Since Ashley's with us, you haven't given me any time at all.

- I'm sorry. It's just that so many things have piled up lately. Do you want to take a walk around the city tomorrow? Just you and me. - I suggested.

- Yes, I want. - Gwen answered instantly.

- Okay, then this will be our date. Now let's go to bed. - I said and kissed Gwen again.

We stood there for another 5 minutes, constantly kissing. Then, after parting, they went to their beds and soon fell asleep.
