Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 159

Samuel looked at the methods Riya showed to him thoughtfully.

From the way Riya handled each methods with ease, he could see that Riya was very proficient and could do these things perfectly.

"Modeling… is it the same for wood element?"

"You can use it for wood element too if you want to," Riya replied. "There’s no fixed method for mana control training and many of them depends on your imagination. Whether you want to try something new or not, that would depend on yourself."

Samuel nodded thoughtfully.

"Wood element could also try to grow plants. It’s not that easy to make seeds germinate or for an existing tree to grow taller but the stimulation from wood element could…"

"Wait, isn’t it the combination of wood, earth, and water element?" Samuel asked with suspicion.

His family in that world naturally didn’t engage in farming, so Samuel never had the chance to learn about this matter. But he remembered that the people who took care of their family garden was of these three elements.

"For growth, it’s only wood." Riya shook her head. "Water element can help to water the plants but it’ll grow at the same speed as ordinary plants. As for earth element, they can make the earth more suitable for plants to grow but how the plants itself grow, it’s not in their control."

"I see."

"Moving to the light element…" Riya took out a magnifying glass and looked at Samuel. "Light element is more about controlling the intensity and direction. If you shoot light to the magnifying glass, there’s an angle where it’ll focus all the light in one spot and could start fire. The light element can technically make the light come from various direction if you do this… and then this…"

With Riya showing her ability in the light element, Samuel saw that she didn’t only start a small fire and extinguish it but also made various games with the magnifying glass.

Samuel: "…" childish!

But even if this method was a bit childish, it was indeed fun for many people.

If the training was treated like a game, there would be many people who were motivated to train. Afterwards, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they would grow very strong.

"It’s a good method," Samuel said.

Riya nodded and then tilted her head. "Who had light element if I may ask?"

"It’s Joan," Samuel replied. "The light element is said to be the most suitable for healing but I don’t know any healing spell."

"I see."

Riya nodded in understanding. For many healing spells, their base element was either light element or water element. This was because the two elements were ’gentler’ in nature, allowing them to show higher effectivity when used for healing spells.

Of course, other elements could also be used.

But it was not as effective.

"Can you tell me about other elements too?" Samuel suddenly asked.

Riya: "…"

She looked at Samuel speechlessly. Her method of training was only this playful method and lifestyle method. It was definitely useless for attack and could only help them to learn how to control their mana better.

But after this, they would have to relearn how to use their mana for other things.

"… You can try to make your own training." Riya shook her head. "My methods might not be the best."
