”Although some of those skills are questionable, they will be of some use at some point,” Leon rubbed his chin. ”This was the last skill I really need to put my ultimate plan into action... now I just have to learn more skills, level them up to the max, and train my brain in order to become used as much as possible to this kind of power.”
Although it was more convenient to rely on Mana Magnetism, Leon also had to train Farming and Alchemy. So, it was time to create some blue angel leaves. At some point, Leon imagined that he would learn Plant Manipulation or Creation, but that never happened most likely, because he relied on Transmute to create those leaves.
To save some time, Leon decided to buy a tome that could grant him that ability, but unfortunately, Leon didn't find any. That was weird, but something like that wouldn't be enough to stop Leon. It may be possible that spatial magic belonged to the shadow element, but Leon wasn't so sure of that. He wanted to learn Teleport, and he needed the power of the spirit of darkness. Still, even though such skill was useful compared to skills like Mind Summoning and Mindscape Materialization, it was leagues behind. Besides, Leon was pretty sure that instead of distorting space, spells that have that kind of attribute most likely transformed the user and mana into shadows... that would explain why the Dark Aura didn't let Donan's blood flow to outside.
In any case, now that Leon learned Mana Manipulation, there was a chance that he could learn spatial magic even without tomes or watching monsters use it. In the end, Leon was right. He managed to create a space where he could nullify the effects of time. Inside a semi-translucent box of mana, Leon could see a Magma Bullet he created. He wasn't controlling it, but the bullet was still floating and wasn't emitting any smoke or signs of deterioration... However, it took Leon two years to reach that stage because the requirements to learn Spatial Manipulation was relatively high. One of them was that the user needed to have fifty thousand points in intelligence, and the other was to have Mana Manipulation at the max level.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Spatial Manipulation.

”... Another skill with a stupid cost of mana,” Leon dropped his shoulders after a long sigh. ”Although the cost is high and I can't do anything with it yet, it has a lot of potential.”
Leon could only create a space like that that had the size of a fist. Leon couldn't even control the things inside the space, so he needed to do some tests as well. Without wasting any time, Leon started to train the skill while creating an extra-large copy of the magic box. It had no effects since it was only made of mithril. Leon manipulated the space around the box and compressed it until it became the size of the magic box he once had, but it looked like only that wouldn't be enough because nothing happened.
”Mmm... I guess I need other skills to add the effects to items without relying on Seal,” Leon rubbed his chin after a long sigh.
