57 Illusions (2/2)

...

Back home to his dark unlit apartment Desmond's eyes fell on the book that will most likely end up saving his life more than he can count. It was a thick book bound in aged leather from some kind of creature. Strange runes more complex than anything else he had seen before was branded on to the cover. The book had no title or anything else to identify who wrote it, but the knowledge that was written inside was priceless to Desmond.

The book can teach a person about an advanced form of enchantment. It's similar to regular enchantment just like how you would make a magic scroll, but instead of just a magic circle on a piece of paper that contains a spell.

This other brach shows how to give a magic circle life turning it into complex work of art. Depending on the enchanter's skills It will look the same as any photo or painting with hundreds or even thousands of runes contained in each line.

This type of enchanting was a lot more complex than Desmond originally though it was. On the table in the living room were stacks of papers covered in cheap black ink. The stacks were all Desmond's poor excuse for enchanting. He had been practicing his drawing skills for months with little improvement he knew it was going to take a long time to get good enough to do what the book required, but it is something he will gladly spend his time doing.

Next to that stack was the books on how to strengthen a person's mind and telekinesis. A strong mind is necessary for any mage, it allows you to keep spells active under pressure and increase brain activity.

Allowing a mages mind to process information like a computer their all still human though so emotions and many other factors could lead to human error. No one is perfect even those who are praised as gods.

Through training in magic or chi, a person's mind becomes stronger regardless. Desmond read that having a strong mind could improve the quality of his illusions that's why he wanted to study the field a bit. In his study he discovered strengthening a person's mind wasn't easy either. He makes time to practice, but it will be a while before he can even do the most basic of things.

Studying magic is a long and dangerous road completely different from all the flowery bull Desmond remembered his homeworld made him believe in where everything was handed to you.

Exhausted Desmond went to sleep in his bed because tomorrow he had to be ready for his first day at the city guard training camp. He had already been through the physical, background check, and one on one interview. While they found out about the incident with Vincent they were not able to find out the truth.

Desmond had his new suit in the closet and was ready to train so he could protect himself when he needed to.
