This is it, the next fight is against Irela, the whirlwind of blades. I have a plan but what if she has a Sense skill? I'll be trapping myself. Erecting sand pillars for cover won't work against drill attacks, which leaves me with hiding or using my force redirecting barrier. I can try both. Actually, now that I think about force redirection sho...

"We have Alysara versus Jowaru!"
The announcer really needs to work on hyping up the crowd and putting excitement in her voice.
The rules say "Don't bring armor into the arena" it does not say that you can't make the armor. The reason why is simple, to create an even playing field where only one person's sk...

"I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think you could've won this match up but I was pleasantly surprised," Esofy says.
Although Esofy is set to fight in another coliseum her fight isn't for a while so she watched mine. My next fight shouldn't be for another hour so I can see my family. In fact, they are coming to me.

"I had a very early start on things."
"Even an early start wouldn't account for your level of growth, you're a prodigy"
I frowned. As usual, everyone jumps to the same conclusion.

"In any case, our time should almost be up and...

I breathed a sigh of relief when the airship control crystal was done. A full week of nonstop meditating here and growing the crystal. I'd let an enchanter grow the spell crystal but they can't rest their mind like I can and you can't just swap out enchanters.
I had found a better way to make the batteries, I discovered this when trying to...

AN: Showing a little bit of Safyrs history as well as revealing a few key details that Aly has yet to learn.
Safyr flew high in the skies, scanning the ocean below. Up at this height, the mana currents brought mana to the nexus. The elves had gotten unusually annoying, especially those new three-eyed elves their progenitor fathe...

I float around my soul barrier, tethered so I don't lose my way.
I really can't see anything... I'm using [Astral Projection] to try to see if I can learn anything about my curses but all I see is my soul barrier.
I return to my soul, close and seal the door, and wake back up.

AN: This week will only have 3 chapters too, sorry about that. A co-worker took the day off so I had to cover for her. I've also been taking 2 or 3 hours a day for myself, it's helped a lot in the sense that I don't feel like I am forcing myself to write. I finally moved to part-time so I'll have more time to write and catch up hopefully next we...

Ting! Mana Toxicity Tolerance has met the requirements for a breakthrough. Mana Toxicity Tolerance will now continue leveling past level 50!
5th Breakthrough: You've been exposed to so much mana it almost killed you. Now you'll resist acute toxicity a little more and push back on it more effectively.

The amount of mana a spell crystal can process is proportional to its size. I noted down in my scroll my observation. I had already written how the spell crystals work, how they are made, and how the mana is transformed.
Simply put, a small spell crystal is effectively useless, well, except for objects of study. The larger the bet...

"Sails out!" The pilot shouts.
"Sails out!" "Sails out!" The command relays and the lifting sails fold out and open up. A strong gust of wind shook the airship as it lifts into the air. The drive sails then open, propelling up slowly forward.

"Are you sure you can make such enchantments?" Yukika asked.
"It'll be mana intensive, but I have my Kyhosa; the biggest problem would be getting the right materials."

I woke up with anticipation. Sitting up I Hesitated on checking my evolutions. Today is my tenth birthday. Today is the day I can choose a class and see my next potential race evolutions, although I probably won't upgrade them just yet. I calmed myself, lowering my expectations. I'm not sure about my evolutions but most of my classes should be c...

I beat the drum, sending earth mana into the sound, the deep reverberating like a heartbeat. Chofel used her sound magic to make her flute sound like a whispering wind flowing over hills. The other players start their instruments to build up tension as I start beating the drum harder and faster as if announcing the arrival of a dark lord.

Now that I think about it most surviving members would be distantly related.

I Examined the large Aydomr pearl, the only thing in my sight, my entire focus on it.
What do you do? I mused.
I watched as ice mana flowed along complex and beautiful crystalline patterns. If magic items gain skills by what you do then is it possible this has a skill too? In that case which is it?

It wasn't until a week later that I noticed the complete lack of ice mana. As usual, I warned the elders and told them it might be especially bad.
