In the end, Leon confirmed his theory. His own blood wasn't much different from the monster's blood. Probably the first thing he would do after leaving that dimension would be to create a magic box and store thousands of enhanced potions.
"I guess I can play with Mana Manipulation now... there were certain things I wanted to learn, but those were pretty dangerous without proper control of mana," Leon said.
Since the moment the monsters appeared, Leon always wanted one thing, to see mana. Until now, he learned many things but not how to do that. Fortunately, Leon soon found what he was looking for... the perfect skill that would grant him a massive advantage as a magician.

"I see... so it is like that," Leon nodded once he received the notification and activated the skill.
Just like Leon created magic projectiles condensing a lot of mana, Leon could see the light blue aura around and inside nearly everything. When he uses Mana Magnetism, that aura will disappear from the land for a fraction of second, but soon returned... as if the land had stupid fast regenerative abilities.
Still, Leon didn't stop there. Now that concentrating mana around his eyes was much easier. Leon managed to create a protective layer around it while he also could send a beam of energy through his eyes and even changing the nature of the beam before it could reach the target.

"Although some of those skills are questionable, they will be of some use at some point," Leon rubbed his chin. "This was the last skill I really need to put my ultimate plan into action... now I just have to learn more skills, level them up to the max, and train my brain in order to become used as much as possible to this kind of power."
Although it was more convenient to rely on Mana Magnetism, Leon also had to train Farming and Alchemy. So, it was time to create some blue angel leaves. At some point, Leon imagined that he would learn Plant Manipulation or Creation, but that never happened most likely, because he relied on Transmute to create those leaves.
"I don't have much use for the time being for the potions I will create using Alchemy, but I guess it is a good idea to store them for when the next wave of zombies appear," Leon concluded. "Although creating a magic box should be easier than create Soul Steal... I want to create and customize one to fulfill my needs, so I will need to learn space magic."
To save some time, Leon decided to buy a tome that could grant him that ability, but unfortunately, Leon didn't find any. That was weird, but something like that wouldn't be enough to stop Leon. It may be possible that spatial magic belonged to the shadow element, but Leon wasn't so sure of that. He wanted to learn Teleport, and he needed the power of the spirit of darkness. Still, even though such skill was useful compared to skills like Mind Summoning and Mindscape Materialization, it was leagues behind. Besides, Leon was pretty sure that instead of distorting space, spells that have that kind of attribute most likely transformed the user and mana into shadows... that would explain why the Dark Aura didn't let Donan's blood flow to outside.
In any case, now that Leon learned Mana Manipulation, there was a chance that he could learn spatial magic even without tomes or watching monsters use it. In the end, Leon was right. He managed to create a space where he could nullify the effects of time. Inside a semi-translucent box of mana, Leon could see a Magma Bullet he created. He wasn't controlling it, but the bullet was still floating and wasn't emitting any smoke or signs of deterioration... However, it took Leon two years to reach that stage because the requirements to learn Spatial Manipulation was relatively high. One of them was that the user needed to have fifty thousand points in intelligence, and the other was to have Mana Manipulation at the max level.

"... Another skill with a stupid cost of mana," Leon dropped his shoulders after a long sigh. "Although the cost is high and I can't do anything with it yet, it has a lot of potential."
Leon could only create a space like that that had the size of a fist. Leon couldn't even control the things inside the space, so he needed to do some tests as well. Without wasting any time, Leon started to train the skill while creating an extra-large copy of the magic box. It had no effects since it was only made of mithril. Leon manipulated the space around the box and compressed it until it became the size of the magic box he once had, but it looked like only that wouldn't be enough because nothing happened.
"Mmm... I guess I need other skills to add the effects to items without relying on Seal," Leon rubbed his chin after a long sigh.
