Chapter 1061 Telepathy Part 1

"She’s right, Nalrond. Besides, you don’t know the first thing about fake magic. Even if you had a wand, you wouldn’t be able to draw runes with it, correct?" Faluel said.

"Correct. I never chanted nor performed hand signs my whole life." He realized they all had a point, but the Rezar still felt pissed off.

"Good. Now, let’s resume your lesson." Faluel nodded. "Spirit Magic is more than just offense. Being comprised solely by your mana and carrying your will by nature, it can also be used as a means of communication.

"Quylla, Lith, Solus, and Nalrond have experienced it when you helped me with Rena’s baby."

"Was that really Spirit Magic as well?" The more Nalrond learned about how useful the seventh element was, the worse his mood became.

’Now the chances of me teaching Light Mastery to the girls are a solid zero. They can keep their fucking wands just as I can keep my secrets.’ He thought.

"Yes. Believe it or not, that’s also first magic and the first exercise you have to complete. It will teach you how to pace yourself and avoid wasting mana or worse, injuring others." Faluel said. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"In the past, this branch of Spirit Magic was called telepathy. The theory behind it is very simple, you just have to create a tendril of Spirit Magic and connect it to your target. Putting it into practice, however, is complex and dangerous.

"Contrary to what you might think, the tendril shouldn’t go to the other person’s head, but to their core. That’s because you are not really sharing your thoughts, but using the willpower imbued within your mana to communicate.

"The problem with such method is that, if not properly done, it can share more than you’d like to, flood your mind with your target’s thoughts and drive you crazy, or cause mana poisoning to either of you if not both." Faluel created several visible tendrils of mana and left one floating in front of each of her students.

’Good thing I never experimented it on my own.’ Lith thought. ’The consequences of failure are even worse than I predicted. Choosing Faluel as my mentor was the right thing to do. The Kingdom could have never taught me any of this.’

"Now, those of you who can produce their own tendril and connect it to mine. If you use too much mana my tendril will fade, too little and it will be yours to disappear.

"I’m keeping them just strong enough to form a mind link so that when you practice among yourselves, the risk of accidents should be minimal." Faluel said.

"What about me?" Nalrond asked.

"Some individuals are capable of projecting their conscience outwards without the need of using mana as a focus, so your task is to try and connect with the tendril on your own. Once you get sick of it, your real exercise will begin.

"You must also learn how to defend in the case someone attempts to manipulate your mind." Faluel said.

"Attack how?" Solus asked.

"The same principle behind the mind link can be used to confuse the opponent or break their focus to keep them from casting spells. Some creatures are so expert with Spirit Magic that they have developed techniques similar to hypnosis.

"You must learn how to recognize when someone is attempting to influence you and resist the suggestion they try to plant into your mind. That’s something that anyone can do, non-Awakened included."
