3 Mystified (1/2)

Sir Richard and I make our way to the library where our magic theory lesson always begins. Interestingly there aren't a lot of places that have libraries and most people spend their entire lives without reading a single book, but most people are taught how to read and write. This being the direct result of the Order setting up public education in temples after the Paladin Crusade, this helped prevent nobility or merchants from misleading people with conditions that are different than what was spoken.

I'm getting sidetracked, libraries have a practical use in conjunction with being places to read books. Most academies and castles have libraries so that students can study magic, Sir Richard started my magic training two years ago and I've become proficient with most types of magic due to my hard work, but it is nowhere near the level that Sir Richard and the other knights have. We get to the library and Sir Richard starts his lesson.

”You already know most of the basic spells and even some of the more advanced spells. But that doesn't mean you can just neglect the basic spells that you know. I want you to, without looking at your spellbook” He noticed my hand instinctively reach towards it ”and recite the use, incantation, and abilities of [Arcanum Script] as well as [Soul Eye].” He motions to me and waits expectantly.

”The use of [Arcanum Script] is to give an accurate evaluation of a person's ability and skills.”

Sir Richard waits a moment, then said. ”Then show me.”

I mentally connect to the mana flowing through my body and recite -Self Evaluation [Arcanum Script]-

while imagining a translucent blue screen that soon appears before me and shows my status.
