”Wait, system, does that mean I get 6 points or 9 points?” Joseph asked in his head, in confusion.

(ONLY THE HIGHEST BONUS APPLIES)

”So, when I learn the first spell from the food rune, I get 5 points. Then when I get the first spell from a different rune, like water, I'll get 3. Then every spell I learn from either rune will only be 1 point each, right?”

(CORRECT)

”Oh, ok. Hmm. 100 hours of study. Is there another advantage that lowers the time, besides my memory?”

(NO, ADDITIONAL LEVELS OF MAGERY INCREASE THE POWER OF SPELLS CAST, BUT DO NOT LOWER THE TIME NEEDED TO LEARN NEW SPELLS.)

”Ok. Give me 2 levels of less sleep for 4 points and I'll save my last point. If I get 5 more points, I can then use the extra point to get 5 levels total. That puts me at sleeping 3 hours a day and gives over 30 extra hours of study a week.”

(CONFIRM ACQUIRE 2 LEVELS OF LESS SLEEP FOR 4 POINTS?)

(YES) (NO)

”Confirm.”

”Um, young master. Are you with me?” asked Stu, leaning into his face.

(LESS SLEEP LEVEL 2 ACQUIRED)

”Oh, sorry, Stu.”

”Well, young master, you now have to comprehend the rune. Study the rune and study the subject of the rune. For FOOD I usually cook. As I develop more understanding of what the rune governs, I can also gain a greater understanding of the variations for the rune. However, for the basic rune comprehension, you probably know enough about food already. Here is a special treated paper than allows magic to be stored and retained.”

Stu quickly drew the food rune again on a piece of paper that seemed to have a s.h.i.+mmer to it.

”Here, study this and good luck. Whether you can advance as a mage, is all dependent on your perseverance.”
