Small steps forward

Eldrian slid down against one of the walls and started to relax as he realized he was going to need to spend a great deal of time experimenting. Having completely forgotten that he was not alone in the room at this time. 

"Um, now what?" Myropsis asked after about a minute of silence where Eldrian just sat on the floor deep in thought. 

"Ah, oh... Sorry I got lost in thought." Eldrian replied after looking up in slight confusion.

He had been thinking that changing spells in this way was far harder than simply trying to change the mana composition of spells. He also knew he could cast spells by simply focusing on mana, so he started wondering if this path was even worth anything. If anything, it is more concrete... This was the final result he had come up with to continue trying for at least a few more hours.
