Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1065

Chapter 1065 The Source of all Spells Part 1

An invisible sphere of Spirit Magic the size of a nut rested on Solus’s hand while electric arcs appeared around it from time to time. Unfortunately, the electricity was caused not by Spirit Magic but by her failed attempts.

Solus only managed to cast a second spell instead of adding the air element to Spirit Magic, triggering the arcs. Friya and Quylla found the task even more difficult since they had never used Spirit Magic before and they had to conjure it through their wands.

Nalrond looked at the others in envy, yet instead of cursing the unjust fate, he watched and learned from their mistakes.

’Based on what Faluel said, every time I cast a spell, I actually generate a strand a Spirit Magic. As a true mage, my core is not Awakened but I can still use silent magic.

’My people can’t Awaken because our two cores would need to be refined at the same time and we are unable to control them separately, making their output unstable. I should take this opportunity to learn how to feel mana.

’Worst case scenario, I can adapt Faluel’s teachings to Light Mastery to improve it.’ He thought while casting first magic non-stop and focusing only on the moment the spell sparked before letting it fade away.

Nalrond aimed to learn how to feel the mana coming from his cores and use that knowledge to create Spirit Magic.

’Interesting.’ Lith thought while constantly shapeshifting the sphere of Spirit Magic in his hand. ’Faluel said to use our favorite spell, but darkness and fire are unsuited for this exercise.

’Explosions would distract everyone, me included, while ethereal spells are hard to study. What a sly teacher I got. The air blade was more than a demonstration, it was a hint. If the spell is done correctly, the air element doesn’t disappear and unlike earth or ice, air offers less resistance to Spirit Magic, making things easier for beginners like us.’

Lith had practiced true magic ever since he had opened his eyes on Mogar. He knew how imagination and willpower were the keys to success to every spell. Lith closed his eyes and instead of trying to conjure the air element, he simply imagined to be holding a small vortex inside the mana sphere.

’If there’s something I learned after all these years, is that magic is simpler and yet more complex than people make it. Simpler because just like it happens for world energy, there aren’t six or seven different elements, just magic.

’More complex because taking them individually generates an unbalance that is up to the mage to restore with his willpower and mana.’

Lith kept his breathing steady, focusing on the flow of air coming from his own lungs. It took him a while to realize that what Faluel wanted from them was nothing more than projecting Fusion Magic outside their bodies.

Suddenly, a small vortex appeared inside the sphere in his palm, making it visible to the naked eye. Then, Lith focused on adding solely more Spirit Magic, to recreate the feeling of holding his weapon, something that he knew like the back of his hand.

The sphere grew and extended until a misty replica of War made of yellow energy appeared in Lith’s hand.

"Excellent work." Faluel clapped her hands. "Practice and hard work never betray you. Don’t be discouraged, guys. Lith is a veteran compared to you. Find your own way to succeed rather than blindly try and imitate him."

"Why not?" A scaled version of the air blade appeared in the hand of Solus’s stone doll.

"I meant aside from you." Faluel sighed. "Try with other elements or focus on manipulating air. The choice is up to you."
