The advanced skill, Blink, that Gu Fei had recently purchased at a cheap price left him quite disappointed during his first use of it.
Experimenting with it afterward, Gu Fei learned that the distance he could blink at most was over five meters. He also learned that he could freely choose how much mana to put into it. This was easy to do, as it was just a matter of adjusting the amount of data being transferred.
The mana consumption for the skill would increase by a fold every half a meter traveled from the caster's original position. Moreover, the skill's cool-down time was long, needing at least a full minute.
Mage spells with long cool-down time like this were actually rare. The Blink skill's long cool-down time meant that it could not be frequently casted and that it would take much longer to increase its proficiency. After all, he could only use it once every minute!
