As you can imagine, its not just hard, it nigh impossible.
Once you summon two [Lights] its not hard to move them around. But the movents are all jagged and snappy; they do not flow smoothly at all.
And at the sa, speed probably ans that they cannot run unevenly like that.
Lets see if my new skill can help.
[Deep Focus]
The world stills.
My breath is extrely loud in this state. At the sa ti, its almost hypnotic. My heart, too, provides with a rhythm; its incessant beating is a lody that lets dive deeper into this focused state.
I take a renewed look at the two [Lights].
[Advanced Mana Sense]
Usually, I reel after activating the skill. However, the [Deep Focus] allows to brush it aside. My eyes are fixed on the spell matrixes.
What is it that makes a spell move?
Is it just moving around the matrix? Am I trying to push a car instead of turning on the ignition?
I imagine [Fireballs] must be thrown at quite the speed if you want to hit a moving target.
But is it like a slingshot or is there a proper engine?
Whats the best way to ask such a question to the book?
Book, I say, still in my focused state, is there a component in the matrix that will make the spell move?
The book, still open in mid-air, changes page.
No. Movent is not a part of the matrix per se.
But does it have anything to do with the matrix?
The book takes a second to answer, the cheeky bastard.
How a spell matrix is built might change its polarity. The four cardinal points have an influence on magic. If you want to manipulate the trajectory, you have to manipulate how a spell matrix is created.
Can you enhance how charged the polarity of a spell is?
Yes.
I imdiately dispel two out of three [Light] matrixes. Instead, I focus on one matrix, right in front of . I look at the familiar squiggly lines. At the beginning, it took three minutes to create a [Light]. Now, after the understanding gained from the multi-casting, the casting ti has been halved.
Im on the verge of tracing the lines, but I suddenly stop.
Damn.
Book, does the number of starting points you use to make a matrix influence its polarity?
Yes.
I swear, you useless piece of crap, I exit the focus mode, what the hell?! Why wouldnt you tell that? What if I get stuck on sothing so stupid for a month? It was a random thought but if I didnt catch it, I would be still
I get zapped.
For fu
Zapped, again.
You little piece of sh
Zapped.
My muscles are still spasming and my jaw is clenched so tightly it hurts.
My father would have probably made an altar to this book. This was education-aid, physical abuse on another level. My parents would have probably funded whatever research that could have done the sa in my previous life.
I still rember when they saw an ad for a watch that zapped you, or soone else wearing it, when they were not doing what they are supposed to. Thank God I was out of school by then, because I suspect I might have received a different kind of [Thunderbolt Curse] then.
Talented mages should walk their own path. Asking questions is allowed, but freely gifting knowledge would hamper the progress on the path to beco an [Archmage].
I swear, this [Archmage] bull is giving a huge headache.
I see the point.
But is 23 truly a high level, talent-wise? It doesnt sound like much.
I would ask Lucinda, but Im afraid of the answer. What if Im actually gifted? Would soone abduct and bring to the Nine whatchamacallit? Thats not going to happen, right? I an, there wouldnt be a psycho so out of his mind that would abduct and
Ok, lets stop there.
Lets not tempt Lady Luck, shall we?
I start looking left and right, expecting a supervillain to pop up from nowhere and lock in chains in his/her basent.
Now that Im out of the focused state, the her basent thing and the in chains part beco a distracting thought. It wouldnt be that bad if the supervillain was extrely hot, would it?
I an, if Lucinda were to abduct to learn my secrets You know, do a little torture, a little spanking maybe to make confess. Then, when she sees Im not caving, she could try and seduce and
Am I disgusting?
I wonder. I truly do.
Do other people have the sa line of thought as I do?
For the sake of the argunt, if a disgusting scale existed, where would I rank?
Lets say at the 1st spot you are a serial killer maniac with deviant sexual taste. So, if thats the first out of ten spots, are normal people, what, a 9? 10 and you are, like, a Mormon. Wait, are Mormons kinky? Shoot, I have no idea. I wish I had a search engine on hand. Google. Or maybe Bing would be better suited for this research if you know what I an.
So, Id say that at the 2nd spot you are like a stalker or sothing, or soone who would do sothing despicable to get his fix. Yeah, not killing, but maybe harassnt. Or wait, does being depraved an that you must harass?
The discussion in my head is getting too philosophical and its probably better to table it for another ti.
I look at the first cantrip once again.
Having two orbs of [Light] rotate on each other for a minute
It might not sound as the hardest thing on Earth, but it sure as hell isnt easy. Well, lets give it another try.
