Chapter 22 - Imagine Magic II

After finally creating the perfect vacuum before shooting the air sniper to both make it more efficient and silent, I went up to make other spells.

From what I could tell, I can make any spell I'm able to understand the inner basics of. This makes making other spells easier than it would Normally be as long as I don't create anything super complicated.

The first thing I decided to ban creating fire spells even though they will be the easiest to do.

I was quickly able to make an icicle shot through both making an icicle as dense as possible while shooting it by using mana, something I kind of lacked, making the spell slow and easy to dodge.

I could use air magic to create the same vacuum ad before but I'm afraid that it might shatter the ice especially when I'm not strong enough to make it denser.

Using water magic to make a bullet had the same principles as the air bullet with subtle changes. I made it so the water would reach zero degrees without freezing or expanding, building up kinetic energy. I used air magic to go behind it to give it a small launch effect followed by a vacuum that sucked it in just to disappear when the bullet would get there, and finally being shot with the use of mana to push it further.

The spell was slightly slower on launch as it would lose its shape after a couple of dozens of meters and turn into nothing more than a slash.

I could use higher magic spells but due to my lack of innate mana, it wouldn't be strong enough. For example, one of the spells I used was called 'slash zone'. I have no idea how I created it but I'll tell you right now that I almost destroyed half of the attic and roof when I released it.

It's about the size of my head and is a raging clot of water with a spark of air magic to keep a flow that I put together with enough power to crush a boulder. it loses shape pretty quickly before becoming as small as a bullet then raindrops and finally a speck.

Water jet is just a raging 'Splash zone' that is condensed and heated up using fire magic at the same time. When the pressure is released in a single direction, you get a jet stream strong enough to cut through wood like a chainsaw. I would know from experience that my mildly destroyed room does not help.

Throughout the month I was so happy that not only did I decide to learn all the bullet spells I could think of at the moment, like stone, magma, or even fire bullets.

Each of them needed me to use ingenuity. For example, I could not accelerate the speed of a fired bullet with a vacuum because that would just take out the flames. I could however use air and fire magic to heat the air particles enough to create plasma and then turn it into a plasma ray. That however seemed to be extremely mana consuming and simply not worth the consumption rate.

Stone bullets were just me compressing earth to become denser and denser before using the same logic as the water sniper bullet to accelerate the bullet itself and have enough momentum to make up for the weight.

Magma bullets just seemed to be less destructive yet less mana consuming heat rays yet they did almost the same job and the fact they were less focused or as focus demanding as the stone bullet than the rest of the bullets, made it so I could use the spell multiple times at the same time without wavering my focus or losing aim.

For the rest of the month, whenever I wasn't trying to use magic or create new spells, I would usually spend time with mom and dad while I would spend the weekend with Aroura instead of everyone else.

When the month was finally over, I had felt the most accomplished I had ever felt since I was born. All I need to do now is to put this use of magic into practical use before I reach five years old. This would give a huge head start in magic rather than slow me down due to the fact I can't use spells through chanting or using hand signs.

When the old woman Whitlock had come to my house, she looked slightly annoyed and I could only guess it was because I had decided to take a break. I say 'guess' but that's a complete understatement. I know it's for that reason due to how much she is nagging about the fact she has to "re-teach me everything" or "get me up to scratch".

I found her annoying but I can't do anything when it comes to my teacher. I can't get angry and hit her because she is probably sturdier than a rock. I Couldn't complain to my parents and ask them to not have her anymore because I had made a deal with them.

So far, all she had done was give me free information on how the society on this planet worked so I decided to take full advantage of my childish ignorance. There were a few main races and them being Humans, Elves, Undead, Dwarves, and Beastkin who had the highest amount of separation in both race and type. Every race is good at something that the other lacks. This means that while the Beastkin have some superhuman strength, they are really bad at magic or are good at magic but are limited to a single element

Elves were simply attuned with nature so much that the white and dark elves could both use nature magic, a mixture of all three water, earth, and air magic to create an almost completely new element. While white elves are not good at close combat due to their weak bodies, Dark Elves had bodies stronger than most humans on Average while the best of their branch of the race could rival those of a Beastkin's physical strength. The atonement with nature however stopped them from being able to use Fire Magic.

Dwarves were seen as master blacksmiths and forgemasters while one of the most useful features of their race was being able to use metal and magma. They might have been short but they had the strength of a boulder behind all their hits, making them a hard race to deal with. People of their race cannot use Water magic but they are strongly attuned with the earth and fire element, to the point the only reason they use air is to strengthen their fires and that instead of learning earth magic they skip to magma and steel magic. Earth seems like second nature and every single person handles flames like a nurse carrying a baby, with such grace and love that it would captivate the attention of any bystander no matter their age or gender.

Finally, the undead is split into so many factions it is hard to call them a race but their comradery and hate for other races unite them together even under multiple rulers. They have the closest thing to a democracy you can have in this world, where all their leaders are chosen by their people and they are meant to represent the race they come from. They range from Vampires to skeletons yet they all have the similar trait that they can all manipulate darkness.

While liches would be given powers close to emperors whenever they reach the pique of undeath within their race due to their mastery of darkness magic. Every race had its limits or perks but the one thing that magically united them was the use of darkness magic making them think they are above 'mortals', and I honestly don't blame them because they are especially liches.

Eventually, days passed then weeks and then months until it was my birthday and I had finally become 5 years old
