Chapter 169 - Creating A Spell (1/2)

”Magic Missile” didn't leave a scratch on the wall, but a hit from ”One-Eyed Raven's Beam” broke off a small piece of it. Though it was very small, after a few dozen hits, part of the wall would be destroyed. ”Great power.” Evan summed it up.

But, the success with the spell was not the most important thing Evan was able to accomplish today.

”This Magic Circle before casting the spell itself is very similar to the way the spells of ”Summoning Magic” work. Unlike the other Magic Types, when you cast a ”Summoning Magic” spell, you first create a magic circle from which an object or a creature appears. But, unlike what I`ve just done, in ”Summoning Magic” spells this ”foundation” is a part of the spell, not a separate auxiliary structure.” Mumbled Evan.

”So I`ve unknowingly created the actual spell myself?”

It was just as Evan had said. He had actually created a new spell of his own right now. But, Evan didn't create it from scratch, and he was well aware of that.

”I`ve only succeeded because I got into unique and unknown conditions. If this is a spell of ”Summoning Magic”, then a Magic Circle, like this is part of the spell. For the spells of ”Amplification Magic” and ”Creation Magic”, you don't need such a Magic Circle before cast. But, ”One-Eyed Raven's Beam” is definitely a spell of ”Creation Magic”, and I couldn't have done it without the auxiliary structure.”

”Hmm, this spell, while not exactly conventional and I didn't create it from scratch, I still think it could be considered of such a kind. Since this is the first spell I've created by myself, I need to give it a good and appropriate name. How about the ”Foundation?”

Smiling Evan was about to leave, he was pleased with himself and his progress, but suddenly a very interesting thought occurred to him.

”What if you could use ”Foundation” on other spells?  ”Foundation” isn't part of the spell, it's a separate structure, I think it should work.” Said Evan and pointed his index finger toward the wall.

His ”Warp” spun and mana headed toward his fingertip. Now Evan cast ”Magic Missile” and mana transformed into a white Magic Circle. Then it turned into a sphere, then became a beam and flew into the wall.

Boom.

”AHAHAHAHAHAHAH, this is just unbelievable. I`ve spent the same amount of mana, but the spell became more powerful. Thanks to thorough training, the beam is a little denser and its speed is higher. What's more, the spell itself is more stable now, and it's all thanks to ”Foundation”.  Just great...”

Evan was thrilled and then he wanted to test something else. This idea came to him after he had successfully used ”Foundation” during a Magic Missile cast.

<I don't have much mana left, but it'll be enough for the finishing touch.> Evan thought, and his ”Warp” spun.

He put both hands out in front of him and mana went to his two index fingers at the same time.

Whoosh.

A white Magic Circle appeared in his left hand, while a purple Magic Circle appeared in his right. The next moment in the center of the Magic Circle, mana transformed into spheres and two beams simultaneously flew toward the wall.

Just then, Evan cast two spells simultaneously, applying ”Foundation” to each of them.

Boom.
