"So this is my ho for the next few months..." Mumbled Evan looking around. The house looked cozy, inside and out. There wasn't any fancy furniture or expensive decorations- it was just an ordinary house with a nice veranda and small rooms.
There was also a spacious room downstairs, where Evan could practice or experint with spells if he wanted to. Evan was very tired, so he headed straight to the bedroom and just collapsed on the comfortable bed. At that mont, he wanted nothing more than to sleep.
...
The next morning Evan woke up and imdiately headed for the underground floor. Of course, he had to hand over his task to the Academy, but right now he wanted to occupy with sothing else - practicing and learning how to use - the "One-Eyed Raven`s Beam". The Magic Circle of this spell was already in his "Library," but that didn't an he could cast it.
What's more, he didn't even know where to start. Usually the spellbook, besides the Magic Circle, detailed how to interact with mana and how to channel it to make it work.
Evan concluded, and at the sa mont, his "Warp" spun.
The raven usually fired a beam from his beak, but Evan didn't have to do it the sa way. He directed his mana to his index finger and tried to cast the "One-Eyed Raven's Beam".
But it didn't work the first ti. The mana didn't even transform into the desired form, it reached the tip of his finger and imdiately dissipated.
However, that was exactly the result to be expected. This spell was a little different from the others because it was created from the ability of an evolved monster.
Evan spent the next few hours trying to cast this spell. He rembered its Magic Circle perfectly, it was all about the difficulty of performance. It was unusual for Evan to use mana this way. Before the mana could turn into the "One-Eyed Raven`s Beam", it would have to change its shape several tis to reach the right state.
Drop.
The drops of sweat fell from Evan's face to the ground. He'd already spent most of his mana, the left would be enough only for a few more tries.
Evan encountered sothing like this for the first ti. Of course, when he had studied his first spell, naly "Magic Missile", he had spent a lot of ti on it. But, thanks to the spellbook he knew what he had to do.
"Wait a minute, I don't know how to cast this spell properly, but I know soone who is a master at it! Reykar!"
Caw.
As Evan called out to his partner, the one-eyed raven was imdiately on his shoulder.
"Will you teach how to use that trick?" Smiling, Evan said.
Reykar nodded and opened his beak. The next mont, purple energy gathered in his beak and transford into a dense sphere.
Boom.
The sphere turned into a purple beam and instantly reached the wall of the room. There was a deafening explosion, but the underground floor was not affected in any way. The material was so strong that not even the evolved monster could destroy it.
"Once again."
Boom.
Another explosion rang out. Evan wasn't looking at the wall, his attention was focused on how the energy was being transford. He was trying to figure out what his mistake was.
"Thanks, Reykar. I think I`ve figured out what I was missing." Evan mumbled and the one-eyed raven returned to "Nirvana".
For the next hour, Evan did nothing. He just tried to figure out what kind of "foundation" he needed. Of course, Evan could have gone to the library and tried to find the answer to his question there, but he didn't do so for two good reasons. First, Evan was sure that the library didn't have the information he needed. He got this spell because he had a contract with Reykar. Second, he wanted to figure it out for himself. It was like a math problem that no one had solved yet. You try, you search for the appropriate option until you succeed.
