It Worked

Thunderstorm quickly put out the grass fire, and Karl sighed in relief that the skill creation process had actually worked.

"That is absolutely ridiculous. Why was it splitting? Is it supposed to do that?" Dana asked.

"There were Earth Mice. The spell used Chain Lightning to stabilize it, but that made it arc to nearby targets. I think that it's overall a success. The system didn't call it an Epic Grade skill or anything, but if the energy cost is reasonable, it should be one of the most powerful area attack spells that I have." Karl explained.

"Well, it will make Hawk happy, anyhow. Wait, he can use it, right?"

Karl smiled at the panicked look on Dana's face. "Yeah, he can use it. So can Remi."

Ophelia began to laugh, and everyone turned to see what was so amusing.
