4 Training Days (1/2)
The boy looked at Tetra as he walked alongside him and asked, ”So where are we going?”
Tetra smiled ”Somewhere we can get stronger, one of my old dojos to be precise. A least I hope it's still in one piece it's been thirty years since I was tricked out of my strength.”
”Tricked out of your strength? Wait a minute you were even stronger than you already are.” Fei Lei questioned in awe.
”Yeah, I lost a bet against a certain powerful being, and it caused the loss of my physique's vitality. Right now I'm trying to revive the dead muscles in my body while using my Breath of the Spring. By mixing it with my level 0 spell Puppet Master, I can forcibly move my body.”
Fei Lei listened carefully as he walked beside him, ”If I can get my hands of some good Magical Herbs, I can constantly dosing my muscles with a highly refined drug, then I should be able to get back to regular strength sooner rather than later. Think of it like I'm cursed and slowly breaking it.”
Fei Lei scratched his head and said, ”Yeah I didn't get any of that.”
Tetra laughed before saying, ”Just like you I am a Non-Elementalist Spell Caster, I'm going to teach you some old and very powerful Spells, Fei Lei.”
Fei Lei looked up in awe and called out, ”Teacher?”
”Yeah?” Tetra replied back.
”You look ten years or so younger since I woke up. How old are you?” Fei Lei asked in surprise.
”Old enough!” Tetra answered laughing.
They arrived at the outskirts of Hystaria one of the 10 Capitals of Magic, they traversed deep through the Monster Breeding Forest until they reached a small shack-like dojo blended in with the natural surroundings. Seeing that his home was still in one piece he led Fei Lei in to begin his training.
Most of what he did was physical exercises, the phrase strong Mana dwells within a strong body was railed into him during the first few years of his training.
After going above and beyond in his training, Fei Lei had finally been given the okay to start learning magic, first, he discovered that he was like his master; he only needed to memorize the spell matrixes in all of its entirety, and think of it.
Next was the rankings for Spell Casters were Adept, Magi, Erudite, Sorcerer, Wizard, Warlock, Arch Wizard, Grand Warlock, and Prime Magus. Every stage of power was split into three forms, Gas, Liquid, and Solid. In order to rank up, one must absorb Magic Cores that are suited towards their Sigil's elements, or use a Special Mantra that only Nobles and prestigious Magician Academies had access to.
Next, he learned to the two types of Spell Casting, there was Sigil use and Spell Matrixes.
Sigils are magical imprints that give Mages their unique and personalized spells, it is beyond rare for someone, anyone to have the same Sigil. The major upside to Sigils is that they have almost no mana drain for activating them, the downside is there is no do-over, you get what you get.
When gaining new Sigils, there was a special catch to it, for instance, Fei Lei's level 0 Spell exist in a gaseous form and if he could rank it up to a liquid, it would be considered a 0.5 Level Spell Sigil, if he managed to somehow turn it into a Solid Level Sigil, it would become a Level 1 Spell Sigil.
Regular Spells are Spell Matrixes created by dozens of predecessor Mages, anyone can make a spell as they are derived from the comprehension they gained towards their Sigil, as long as their knowledge and understanding of mana and spell specifics is good enough, these spells can be used by anyone with matching affinities, this gave Non-Elemental Spells upside and a downside, if one was stuck with a Non-Elemental Spell Sigil like Fei Lei, then they would be labeled as affinity-less too, the upside to Non-Elemental spells is that they can be used by anyone with any elemental affinity.
Fei Lei was giving several Level 0 books to study, there were at least 120 different level 0 spells gathered before him, Fei Lei had no choice but to start going through them and start learning the ones he put a priority on.
He ended up choosing ten different Level 0 Spells, only the Boost Spell that was Non-Elemental had a whole collection of spells ranking from Zero to Nine, this spell was capable of doubling all of his physical parameters in exchange for his body's stamina, the higher levels turned into x3, x4, x5, all the way to the level 9 version which was x10. The spell builds up fatigue so it can't be used for extended periods of time, and it also puts a heavy strain on the body's muscles, organs, and skeleton.
Level 0 Spell Quick Recovery, this spell exchanges vitality to heal minor wounds. After using this spell one must sleep to regain lost vitality, it causes extreme drowsiness for greater wounds, such as fractures and breaks.
Level 0 Spell Innervision, this allows one to exchange their mana to search the inside of their own body, it was usually used to search for internal damage done to the body.
Level 0 Spell Invoke Intent, allowed one to use their mana as a medium to manifest and extend their intents, such as goodwill or killing intent.
Level 0 Spell Clean, this allowed one to remove dirt from an object or person.
Level 0 Spell Gravity x2, this allows one to double the weight of their body and anything they wear.
Level 0 Spell Lion Roar, creates a weak sonic boom by enchanting the caster's lungs.
Level 0 Spell Hypnosis, mixes Mana in the caster's voice to hypnotize those with weak wills.
