16 Creation Magic (1/2)
”Breath in.”
*Heavy inhale*
”Now out”
*Slow exhale.”
”And while exhaling, slowly push your mana outside your body”
...
...
*Pppffffffftttttttt*
...
”Eric...”
”Yes Dad?”
”That was just gross.”
Drouot sighed and stroked his beard
”I guess I can't expect you to be able to do it on your first try, even though you are a prodigy.” said Drouot.
What exactly happened was that Dad and I decided that on my fifth birthday we would try and start using external magic. Best way to start is to try releasing all the mana from my body out into the world. And if you couldn't guess it, it has been another two years so I'm officially able to start training in magic. Not just some fancy magic control stuff that Dad said is very important.
”I think that will be enough for today. Go to your room and try practicing some more, I have some paper work to fill out.” said Drouot while walking away.
Watching Dad turn the corner, I rushed to my room and decided to work on my creation magic as soon as possible. In all the books I've read, they've stated that one usually has to work with just their mana before being able to identify what elements and affinities they have. However for me I know everything that I need to know because of the System.
Speaking of which, 'Hey system, please show me a basic status screen please.'

Magic- Creation
Mana Control- Middle-Low Grade
Mana Points- 935/1000

The types of Mana Control are classified as horrible, low, mid-low, middle, middle advanced, advanced, advanced-intermediate, intermediate-high, high, nigh perfect, Complete control. The average for a regular person is around low. For a basic magician it's middle and for a new magic night its usually around advanced. Supposedly the Magic King has a near complete Control type of ranking for their mana control.
Mana is also very similar to that of magic control. The types of Mana Points is around 10 for a average person, 100 for a basic magician, and 1,000 for a magic knight. Again, supposedly the magic king is suppose to have somewhere around 100,000 mana.
This would mean that at the age of five, I've already gotten strong enough to the point that I would be classified as a magic knight on paper. If someone was to fight me in real life though... that's a whole other story.
Anyways back to trying some creation magic! Sitting down on my bed I prepared to try some magic
*Inhale and exhale*
'Ok, deep breaths. Lets do something simple.'
Stretching out my hand I envisioned a simple blade of grass and led my mana towards my outstretched arm. Compared to Verathal, magic here worked very differently. From what Dad told me, magic is something that complies with the persons desires. However the person must also have the affinity, elements, and a specific goal in mind.
No wacky intent was needed to cast magic here... Or so I hope. I've never actually tested it after all.
Getting back to the point at had, after leading all of my mana to my hand, I tried pushing it through the ”Barrier” that was my skin. After trying for a minute, I finally got a bit of mana out of my body and saw it take the shape of grass before solidifying and dropping to the ground.
”YES!” I said exclaimed as loud as I could without getting yelled at by my Dad.
All of a sudden though, I dropped onto my bed unable to move
'System, whats happening?'
[Host has used to much magic. Body is currently refueling mana with the body's own energy.]
'But... All I did was create a blade of grass?'
[Host also wasted a majority of his mana trying to get it outside of his body.]
'About how much is a majority of my mana again?'
[Calculating... *Ding* Host has used about 86.19% of his mana trying to get it outside of his body]
'And how much mana did it take to make this blade of grass?'
[Host used exactly 578 mp to create this blade of grass.]
'...'
'Status.'
