At this point, it was already past 4 am but Villin still had sothing to do. He quickly made his way to the club board he had seen the very first day he got here. Joining a club was very easy, you simply had to put your na and the club you wish to join on a piece of paper and then slip that piece of paper under the door of the 'Grade Holder'.
The 'Grade Holder' would then contact the specific club's president and they would contact you for a potential interview and to pay the required fee. Villin quickly went ahead and wrote 'Mortals Cut and Crease' on a regular piece of paper. He checked the board and saw it didn't have a required fee at all, sothing that was very rare. Probably because there were other, very strict requirents to join.
With the piece of paper slipped under the grade holder's door, Villin only had to go to the required classroom when the ti ca, well after his two classes on the following day.
Despite the extrely late hour, Villin felt less tired than usual, it seed like Drowse truly had so benefits to himself. And so in order to fall asleep so he would be good for the next day, he once more cast Drowse wandlessly.
And so, just a few monts after the spell was cast, Villin once more fell asleep. Morning swiftly ca and Villin once more felt energized. Sadly he could only translate the enchanting book for about an hour before he had to head toward his first class.
Since the first class was 'Studies of the Web' by Edgard ssen, Villin sowhat expected the man to ask him to stay after class. Surprisingly he didn't, and so Villin simply left the class twenty magic crystals richer, a rather normal reward for soone of his level.
After this ca 'Magic History', as usual, the class was pretty useless for Villin and so he trained during the hours. This ti around he worked on awakening so nodes near the Illuminatus spell model. He wasn't sure why but he simply had a good feeling about the utility spell. And even if he didn't use it for an altered spell, so of the nodes would surely be a part of a future spell blueprint.
Once the class ended Villin prepared to create so new spells with Reverto as its base. No matter what the spell was extrely useful. He had already been able to derive one other spell for it and if the consumption wasn't so high it would be incredibly strong. The problem was that the further away you went from the original spell the harder it was.
Reverto had nine different nodes. He figured the one he had used for his first altered spell had to do with control, sothing he certainly wanted to keep. This one replaced the seventh node. Because of this changing the sixth or eight node was not an option, this would make the change in the spell too big, not only would casting it would be extrely hard, the spell might even be sowhat unstable, sothing he didn't want to see.
After thinking for a while Villin decided to change up the third node. Connecting to the new seventh node was already a challenge that took a bit, now that the third node would also change, the difficulty would be heightened multiple tis.
Six full hours had already passed before Villin finally managed to connect both the nodes at the sa ti. A surprisingly tiny amount of magic energy got taken from him as the spell was cast. When he looked forward he noticed the familiar light-blue mist but this ti it was simply around his wand. Villin felt stunned for a mont as he looked at it, it seed like he had gotten a rather useless spell.
Villin tried controlling the mist, but the only thing he could do was move the amount of mist around the wand. No matter what it was simply a worse kind of the base spell. Villin sighed before looking at the clock. He had to et up with the new club in four hours.
He figured he might as well try to cast the spell wandless, who knows it would be more feasible. It took two hours for Villin to manage his first wandless cast. As soon as he did mist shot out of his body, it headed right for the wall and the items around him. There was no mist in the air but every surface within a ter of him was covered in the blue mist which he no longer had to supply with magic power.
Normally he would just think this was an extrely situational spell as well, to the point it could even be called useless. But there was one thing that held him back from saying that. Even though he had severed himself from the spell, the mist wasn't losing even a bit of magic power. Even when half an hour passed there wasn't even a tiny difference.
This was way different than the case with the regular wandless cast where it would dissipate extrely slowly. After thinking for a while, Villin went into a corner of the room where he had his bed as cover before shooting a spell at a part of the floor that was covered by the new spell.
As soon as the spell hit the blue mist it shot right back with about three fourth of its speed remaining. Villin quickly dropped behind the bed, letting the spell fly over his head. He knew though that if he wasn't prepared for it there was a chance he'd get hit. And he had agility beyond most of his peers.
The fact this derivatory spell could do this opened up a few possibilities. But as soon as the Drowse spell missed Villin rushed back up to the affected floor to check sothing. He sensed the magic power within and after a mont he could be seen shaking from excitent. When he checked the magic power within the mist, he could tell it was actually taking so from the air around them, getting back to the level it was at before it was hit by the spell.
Villin vowed that once he had his own protected place he would further research such a spell. If he found a way to make the mist invisible the spell could be a part of a seriously strong defensive asure.
Let's say he had a villa, if this spell was all over the outside of the villa sieging it would be so much harder as you also had to worry about defending yourself.
That being said, right now it didn't have many uses for him, it was truly a spell for the future, not the present. And so after awakening a few more nodes, it was ti for Villin to get to the 'Mortals Cut and Crease' club room.
