Lunelle, Anna, Ramona, and Belinda kept hugging and crying while Frederick hovered over them. Anton was looking on while he was in his room's doorway when his father, Selena, Nemina, and Lucas entered the suite.
“What happened?!” Anders asked while looking worried. Selena, Nemina, and Lucas shared his expression.
Lunelle ran towards her parents and hugged them.
“Father, mother, I’m now a mage! I can now cast spells!”
Anders looked at Anton and Frederick questioningly.
Frederick asked everyone to sit at the dining table so they could talk.
“Lunelle managed to morize her first cantrip after four hours establishing the fact that she is now a novice mage. Ramona and Belinda did the sa thing after six hours. For context, those who were detected by the mage stone tester having no mage talent should not be able to morize spells at all, and I who had been detected to have a very small amount of mage talent was only able to morize my first spell after three days,” Frederick said to everyone and that fact surprised Anton.
“Since I tested Ramona and Belinda before and the mage stone tester did not detect any mage talent on them, they should not have been able to morize any spell at all, and the fact that they were able to after only six hours ant that Anton’s talent of allowing mages to morize spells at a short amount of ti is heaven defying. The truly scary part of the situation was the ability to make non-mages beco mages. I think that the mage stone is not responding to those who had truly a minute amount of mage talent and that ability of Anton was powerful enough that even those truly minuscule talents could allow them to morize spells and enter the first step of becoming a mage,” Frederick continued.
“If it was heaven-defying as you’ve said, so of the archmages and the three supre wizards I was with when were battling the three ghost ships are aware of my capability to lessen the ti mages can morize spells, should have acted more,” Anton said.
“Making wizards morize spells faster is different from making non-mages into mages. The fact that you’re spell had a limit of seven people at a given ti limited the spell’s capability and the fact that it’s a non-standard spell and a bloodline spell ant that others would not be able to copy the spell also ant that the wizards might have lost interest in it since they had tried to copy bloodline spells before for centuries and it resulted in nothing but imitation but the actual mana structure was different,” Frederic comnted.
“The bloodline spells that were imitated were mostly offensive and defensive spells but those spells that were more complex couldn’t be copied,” The mage added.
Anton could see his father and the others contemplated what this latest ability ant. What they had learned from Antonia and the other rich nobles from New Drennor was the backbone of the most powerful families in a given city or country was the number and power of the mages in their family. Given that their family now had six mages ant that their group was becoming powerful and the fact that they could establish more mages simply by using Anton’s spells ant that their family could truly beco a power.
“No one should share this information with anyone!” Anders suddenly fiercely announced and by the look of Nemina and Lucas’s faces, they agreed.
“Regarding your question earlier, Anton, why do the other mages not bother you regarding this power, I think it’s because of your level of power as well. You’re very young and the fact that your level is already very high ans that soon, you will beco a being that’s capable of shaking the foundations of any territory that you’re living in and they don’t want to make an enemy of soone like that but your father is correct. We shouldn’t spread this information and consider this a core secret of the family,” Frederick added on top of Anders’s announcent.
Everyone complied with Anders’s command regarding keeping their mouth shut regarding the information.
“So Father, Nemina, Lucas, do you all want to beco mages? I can add a total of seven people to the system,” Teased Anton but was surprised when he saw them contemplating his question.
“I feel that I’m too old and have too little ti to beco a mage so I declined. I will just concentrate on earning gold for our family so you mages can continue buying your spellbooks” Anders said jokingly and Nemina and Lucas said the sa thing.
After that discussion, Anton told everyone that he was done practicing his magic for that day while Frederick said that he wanted to purchase more spellbooks so he would go to the ship’s mages section. All of the mages in the family said that they would join him and Anton saw that his father, Nemina, and Lucas were amused when the mages in the family now included Lunelle, Ramona, and Belinda.
Anders asked if they had the coins to purchase their spellbooks everyone said that they still had so funds.
Anton joined in on the fun by joining the spellbook shopping spree so they all went to the section of the ship where the magic stores were located. He was expecting that the said section would be small given that the ship’s mages were not that many compared to the regular passengers but happily surprised that the section was bigger than expected. Much bigger actually and Frederick said that it was that way because not only mages purchased magic items. Regular passengers purchase a lot of the items as well.
Anton followed everyone to a specific shop that sold spellbooks, but when they got inside, everyone beca very busy learning about the spells that they wanted to purchase. Even though it was interesting, he had decided before that he would concentrate on his Diablo II system first. He would only morize necessary spells, like the Cleaning spells that he had morized and any others he found that could be helpful.
He was very tempted to browse the available spells but knew that if he stayed he would surely purchase those that were useful and interesting and morize them which would cut the ti he needed to spend on his Diablo II system so he told everyone that he would separate from them and browse the other shops in the ship’s “Diagon Alley”.
Anton spent a few hours browsing the magic shops excitedly. He felt a little like Harry Potter exploring Diagon Alley and so of the magic items were bizarre just like in the movies although if he were asked, he preferred the books since in his opinion it was one hundred tis better than the books which were understandable since the movies simply couldn’t include all the details from the books.
When he learned the news about the upcoming Harry Potter television series, Anton was excited since he thought that more details would be included because television shows had more episodes.
Anton was simply amused when he even encountered so shopkeepers trying to scam him. More than likely it was because those shopkeepers were not mages and he looked really young. Surprisingly, he didn’t purchase a lot of items but the simple fact of just browsing around excited him so much, and didn’t care too much about so of the people who were disgruntled about him not making any purchase. He did openly carried so of his purchases in his arms so they would stop bothering him since Anton was still a prospective custor.
