12 Air Magic (1/2)
Karl finished his food, placing his plate in the sink. ”Wow, not only are you beautiful, but you're also a good cook.”
Dilya blushed, hearing Karl. ”Oh, shut up.”
Dilya finished his food soon after and placed it in the sink.
”Oh yeah, can you help me out with magic?” Karl asked Dilya.
”Magic? Yeah, what do you need help with?”
”I need help with the symbols. I found out how to use my mana to draw, but I don't know the symbols.”
Dilya nodded. ”Ok, I'll teach you the wind symbol for now. Let's go to the living room.”
They made their way to the living room, sitting across from one another.
Dilya channeled her mana to her pointer finger, making it glow a bright white. ”Ok, watch.”
Dilya started drawing with mana and drew a spiral. She started from the center, circling to the outside. The spiral changed color, turning from white to green. A small gust of air went towards Karl, making his hair blow upwards.
”The shape doesn't actually matter that much, as long as it resembles air, it'll work. Now, you also have to think about air when you're doing it. If you think of fire and try to use air magic, then it won't work. Go ahead, try it out,” Dilya told Karl.
”Alright.” Karl channeled his mana to his pointer finger and started drawing, making the same spiral that Dilya made. This time, he thought about making air, and it worked. The spiral turned green and a gust of wind went towards Dilya, making her hair sway with the wind. ”Wow, it worked.”
[Learned Air Magic.]
Dilya clapped. ”Good job, you did it.”
”Thanks, but if it was that easy, how come it took you guys so long to find the symbols for the four elements?” Karl asked in a curious tone.
”Well, it's because we only found out today that the symbol didn't matter that much. What really mattered was just thinking of the element you wanted. It's also because we're still new to this magic thing.” Dilya said plainly.
”Hmm, well if it's that easy, then have you guys tried out other elements?”
”Oh, we have, but we've had no luck so far. We suspect that we either need a class upgrade or increase our intelligence.”
”That makes sense. So now that I learned air magic, what can I do?”
”A lot of things. Here, look.” Dilya channeled her mana again and drew an air symbol, but this time she surrounded it with a circle. The symbol turned green and disappeared. Air started to gather to the area where the symbol was. A ball of wind was made, constantly spinning. ”By having a circle outside the air symbol, it made a ball of air. As usual, you have to think of what you're trying to do.”
