Once again, Leon didn't find the spell he wanted in Ilyana's vault, but once again, only that didn't stop him. That was something Leon didn't have tried until now, but Leon decided to make a copy of his memories using Spatial Teleportation. He tried many things, transmitting only the things he felt instead of real knowledge, and even the inverse, but nothing happened. By using Omnilingualism, Leon knew that he hadn't made any mistake. However, he needed to do something else...
"What now..." Leon said.
In the end, Leon found an answer rather quickly. The only real way to add a magic effect to an item was by using Seal, but Leon didn't want to wait for a monster that could help him with that. Besides, Ilyana could create magic items out of nothing. So, there was a way for Leon to do the same. He just didn't find it yet.
"I guess the only way is to create a copy of my mind without memories and only add the knowledge of the magic I want to add in a weapon," Leon concluded.
It was a rather dangerous thing to say and do, but since Leon could use Omnilingualism, he would be able to stop if the weapons he creates himself are a problem or not.
Usually, Leon would have to touch something before creating a copy of his mind, but after a few minutes of practice, he managed to create one without his memories. Once he added the knowledge of Spatial Manipulation, Leon felt the mana that he was using to control the copy changing... until it became identical to the spirits, he could take out of the monsters' bodies.
"Holy crap... did I just create a spirit?" Leon asked himself, astonished.
Fragments of spirits could appear thanks to the mana left by the original spirits, but Leon didn't expect to himself create one someday. Regardless, now he could understand more or less how vicious monsters were created... several dots started to connect inside Leon's head.
Although Leon started to worry, at the moment, he had no pressing concerns. Without wasting time, Leon used Seal on the mithril box. The next moment, the box decreased in size until it became an identical copy of his first magic box.
"I can only store small potions, but I guess this is a start..." Leon analyzed the item he just created. "I guess I need to customize a little more the knowledge that I can..."

Leon didn't expect notifications, so he got quite surprised when he received one. Not only that... that skill seemed stupidly powerful. With that, Leon finally obtained the power to create tomes.
"That is weird. Ilyana said that one would have to have a skill at the max level to create a tome," Leon frowned. "But I just passed the knowledge of spatial magic to a spirit I created..."
Maybe it worked because the spirit had been a copy of his mind, or perhaps the effects were temporary. Either way, Leon could create magic items with it. Regardless, once Leon confirmed that he couldn't feel the spirit anymore, only its essence in the magic box, he started to work on the customized version.
Spatial Magic Box (+10)
Functions: it can store magic projectiles and fire them with a single thought of its owner.
It consumes potions and other consumables with a single thought of its owner and converts the energy to them.
Durability: 1825000 days
Capacity: 0000/10000 tons.
"Not bad... not bad at all," Leon nodded in satisfaction.
It was quite weird, but it looked like the magic box would last five thousand years... Leon probably could repair or even increase for how long that item will last, but for the time being, he was fine with that. Besides, he could create another spirit with similar properties whenever he wants.
"Now, I should see what I can do with Skill Bestowal," Leon said.
After a few tests, Leon confirmed several things. He could use bestowal skills to all his monsters. However, they would lose upon dying, so it was only temporary. Leon also could grant them skills for a certain time and of a certain level. For example, he could grant them Fire Bullet level ten if his Skill Bestowal was at level ten. Also, they would only be able to use that for ten minutes. It was useful, but like every other skill, it had some limitations. However, Leon could recover the skill and the experience obtain from monsters before they lose that temporary bonus.
"I guess now I can train all my skills by using my summons..." Leon concluded. "Although it would be more convenient just to give them a copy of my memories, that doesn't mean they will learn certain skills. There is also the matter of compatibility."
The number of crazy things Leon could do was increasing a lot, but most likely, the enemies he had to deal with not only had those same abilities, but they also mastered them. Leon had to keep growing and use the time in that dimension as much as possible.

Thanks to Mana Eyes, Leon now could see several things... even the mana stored in the monsters' bodies would turn into items once they die. The chances of Leon succeeding in stealing those items were low, but that was just a minor nuisance.
