Crash Course In Spell Levels

"It's hardly the appropriate time for that," Alex complained.

"It isn't, but you won't understand jack shit of what I'm explaining if you don't understand at least the basis of magic levels. So we are doing this," David replied, smirking.

He waited to hear Alex's whiny response, but there came none, so he nodded.

"Alright. First things first. The first-circle level," he said, sliding the charts aside to write directly on the table with his finger.

"As you would think, first-level spells or abilities are the ones that cost the least amount of mana, but usually give out the least amount of power in exchange. Spells like the four basic elemental spells, and the first psychic abilities fit in that category," he said, writing that down.

Already, Alex was confused.

"I have some of those basic spells, and they require a lot of mana, and give out enough power, though…"

David clicked his tongue in disappointment.
