Disparity of Time

With the level that Abel's currently at, it would take 10 minutes for him to recharge his mana in the Rogue's Encampment. If he were in the magic tower right time, this process would take much more time.

As he continued to practice using magic, Abel became more and more familiar with the 'fireball' spell. He started making fewer mistakes. If he made one type of mistake, He made sure that the same wouldn't happen in his next practice. This was why he was learning so fast.

Slowly and steadily, Abel kept using his mana to practice casting the "fireball" spell. After replenishing his mana for the twentieth time, he was now 20% closer to casting the complete spell. Pretty soon, he would be able to cast his very first spell.

Abel noticed that his head was starting to hurt. He turned his head and looked at the hourglass on the ground. The hourglass should've taken ten hours to drain, but there was barely any sand on the top.
