Mana Control
Tyler thought for a while about which spell he should learn first. Although there were a lot of Tier 1 spells he was interested in, he decided to put the thought aside for now. He wanted to research more on mana control, and basic Tier 1 spells wouldn't help him do that.
He still remembered all the close calls he had whenever he cast a spell. Even if he got stronger and learned more powerful spells, it wouldn't be of much use if he ended up incapacitated each time he used a single spell. And who knew what strange effects would happen if he used higher-tiered spells?
Tyler searched around a bit before finally taking a Tier 2 spell book off one of the shelves. He then walked around for a while until he found what he was looking for. It was a section of the library dedicated to mana control. There were several degrees of mana control for casters at different levels of potential. The higher one's potential was, the more difficult it was to control their mana.
