Typically, for a pure-blooded advanced elf level 3 sculpting magus, the average time to master this technique is one week, with proficiency for combat application usually taking over fifteen days.
For humans, this duration extends to two to three times longer.
Yet, Howard managed to grasp a significant portion of it in just two days, achieving a mana recovery rate of about twenty percent.
If he continues at this pace, he might fully master the technique in just around five days, even faster than an advanced elf.
As a pure-blooded human, Howard had no inherent advantages in mana perception.
Greg thought it sounded like boasting.
Howard glanced around, then raised his hand to reveal his palm.
A stream of mana burst forth, swirling into a dagger-shaped form.
After a second, under Howard's control, the dagger collapsed, part of the mana was recovered under control, but the majority of it still dissipated directly into the air.
