Chapter 196 - The Flow Of Time (2/2)

In those two years, Evan hadn't been able to increase ”Awareness” in any of his first-level spells. It was indeed a difficult task.

He had spent a lot of time on ”Creation” and was able to make some progress. He had long ago condensed 1.333 drops of ”Void Liquid.” This was the maximum if the magician had not broken through any ”Barrier” yet.

Breaking through the first ”Barrier” at the ”One-Pointed Star” stage was a real challenge. The higher the magician climbed, the harder the next step was.

Nevertheless, Evan felt that he was close to breaking the first ”Barrier.” He estimated it would be within the next few months. He believed that such a low rate of progression was not only due to the complexity of the process itself. It was also since he had never been in a deadly situation in the last two years, although it was well-known to have a powerful effect on a magician's progress.

When Evan could no longer continue to condense his mana into the ”Void Liquid,” he began to channel his mana into the chains on the Pillar. It took him a long time, but he had unlocked 100 chains, but he could not fill the last chain with mana. Evan didn't know the reason, but he couldn't get any further so far.

The last thing worth mentioning was Evan's tries to create his own blood magic spell. In brief, there was no success there.

But, that was only Evan's own opinion of what he had been able to achieve in the meantime. In fact, he had no problem learning how to change the color of his spells. Simply put, he had successfully passed the first stage of spell creation and made it to the second. To have that kind of progress in just two years was an incredible success, even though Evan thought it was a real failure.

Evan had only reached the second stage a few months ago, so he hadn't yet been able to change any of the characteristics in any of his spells. So far, it was beyond him.

He had done countless experiments and many different manipulations with runes and symbols in Magic Circles over those two years.

Much of his experience with demons` sigils had helped him, but he definitely had a talent for creating spells. All that was left to do was to keep working and hope that he would reveal himself at some point.

He could create the versions of ”Ball Lightning,” where the electrical discharge would be red or yellow instead of blue. What's more, even changing the black color of the ”Touch of the Abyss' to white wasn't a problem. Of course, Evan wouldn't use these spells, they were no different than any other color, and he wasn't sure if such changes had any negative effect.

Evan was at the very beginning of this way, and until he created his first spell, he had no right to be called a spell maker.

...

Step. Step. Step.

Evan headed slowly toward the bulletin board, he muttered quietly: ”Looks like it's time to leave the Academy, at least for a while.”
