Chapter 13 - Equipping the units 2/2

Attis walked over to Damien and fist saluted. "Yes, Master Archmage how can this one be of service?"

"What is your current magical attribute, what skills do you have and also, have you mastered any spells?"

"I am a fire mage, Master Archmage and I have mastered Fire Bolt, Mana Bolt and Mana Shield, Master Archmage. I currently have no skills outside of magic. Most mages only have magical talents. Skills are usually reserved for melee fighters. Is there anything else that you require, Master Archmage?"

"No, that's all the questions for now, but I need you to stand still because I have a few things that I want to try."

Damien put his hand near Attis and activated his Divine imbue skill and Damien felt a strong pull at his mana core that happens when a large amount of mana being drained from his core.

The golden light shone around the mage and a screen that only Damien could see appeared above the mage.

"Since only one attribute was added I can add two additional skills and I left one open to add a future spell. His mage rank increased due to an additional attribute increase." Damien said loudly. "Attus do you feel more powerful with your increase in mage rank?"

"Yes, I feel as though my mana pool has increased two fold. Where I could only cast 12 fire bolts before getting mana drained. I can now cast over 20. I feel like I have more control over the heat around me and I can also feel the water in the nearby stream. I also have better control over my mana recovery, Master Archmage."

"Ok good. It's good to have a fellow mage around. Thank you, Attis"

"I am honored by your thanks, Master Archmage." Attis look at Damien in reverence. Which kind of weirded Damien out but, he ignored the look for now. Damien reviewed the mage's status screen.

Okay with this completed, now for the complicated part. Damien wanted to strengthen the mages cells like his own and see if he could unlock his mana core as he did with himself.

The difference isa, Damien was going to use divine healing in the process so that the mages cells won't explode from the constant increase of outside mana being forced into the mage's body. Damien was going to also perform both spells at the same time. Something he hasn't tried to do yet.

Damien was nervous to try it because he would lose a valuable troop if this didn't work out and something told him he was going to need all the help he could get, in the near future.

"Okay, here goes nothing. Attis sit down, meditate and begin mana recovery."

Attis sat down in a meditation pose and began breathing deeply. Damien's hair on his skin rose and he could feel a faint pressure in the air. Damien could feel the mana in the air going towards the sitting mage's position.

So this is the feeling when other mages are utilizing mana. Focusing back on the task at hand, Damien walked closer to the mage and lifted both arms towards the man, closed his eyes, and focused. He first used his mana to feel inside of the man's body. Starting at the skin and letting his mana go deeper, past the muscles, past the veins, and finally, until he could feel every cell into his body. Now that he was there he began to feel for his mana pool.

Damien found that it was easier to find than his own because it was like a puddle compared to the ocean that Damien had inside of himself when he attempted to do the same thing. Damien began to slowly pour his mana into the cells of the mage while at the same time, he grabbed his mana strings and began to form the mana pool into a ball.

He heard the man loudly grunt and the noise became louder like he was trying not to scream. Damien began to cast Divine Healing on the mage and his grunting stopped completely and he heard an audible sigh of relief. After about 30 minutes of constant channeling, Damien felt the mana pool close up into a perfect sphere.

He felt like he could not pour anything else into the man or it would cause harm instead of benefits. Damien stopped channeling, opened his eyes, and was breathing heavily and was covered in sweat. His mana was drained but it was already recovering. The mage opened his eyes and was wide eyed in disbelief. " Master, I,I,I feel-!"

"I know, your power and control over your mana has drastically increased. Your mana recovery has also naturally increased due to having a mana core outside of your mana recovery skill. Your spell strength has naturally increased as a direct result. Your spells are much more potent than a mage at your same mage rank." Damien cut him off. The other mage just nodded in agreement.


'Host has introduced two new spells to the planet Damascus. Awarded 4,000 DP.]'

'You are a pioneer of the arcane world and is the envy of the magical world. You and have created 3 spells in a short time frame. The creator has let the world now knows of your greatness! Awarded 6,000 DP.'

'Arcane Tethering Spell: Pure mana used as a rope on other objects to create new effects or can be used on its own as a weapon.'

'Arcane Enhancement Spell: By combining mana and healing energy into normal cells they are greatly enhanced and mana recovery naturally is applied when resting. *An extra effect for mages converts their mana pool into a mana core with a newly developed tethering spell by the spellcaster that works in conjunction with the enhancement spell.

The 5 senses are increased, sensitivity to mana increase, physical defense increase, strength increased, reflexes increased, stamina increased, brainpower increased, lifespan increased, cells rejuvenated to prime age it increase the beauty of the enhanced being.'

Damien was stunned at the new spells. He wanted to experiment with the new spells right away, but it was already beginning to get dark and he told Selene he would be back in the morning. He wanted to apply the new spells to his troops immediately. After all, the stronger they are, the stronger he is.

First, he gave the new spell Arcane Tethering Spell to Attis to use his last available skill slot. Damien was glad he waited to do so. He told Attis to go over to the earth dome he made and wait on him to get back. He told him to experiment with the new spell while he waited on the rest of the troop. Damien then walked over to each of the Soldiers and cast his Arcane Enhancement Spell on each of them which took 10 minutes on each of them. All of them gasping at the sudden increases to their bodies and one by one he sent them all back over to the dome when he was completed. Damien was not finished as of yet. He still needed horses for the rest of the men and the carriage he was planning on building.

Making 3 other horses and using the Divine imbue skill on them he had a total of 8 horses now. Next, Damien used his wind magic to cut down two trees and used the materials to make an all green carriage with brown inlays to match the forest for camouflage, along with alloy springs and rims and rubber wheels to assists with movement through rough terrain. The inside of the carriage could fit 5 men on either side and he made benches with a cushion on the back and of the bottom seat. He used sand on the ground to make the windows on the side and front and back. He made the carriage driver's seat with a cushion as well.

He had planned on using earth magic on the trip to create a dirt road with hardened earth through the forest by moving all the trees in the way and creating a path as they traveled along. He could also use this as a new way to train his earth magic while traveling. Damien got the idea from making the mountain of rock travel underground by moving the earth to push it in his direction. He learned he could move the earth with earth magic fairly easily at the cost of his mana pool. He still needed supplies, so he cut down 60 of the massive trees around his area, all of them falling with a resounding boom sound. He then walked by and put them all in his inventory. Then he went and did the same to all of his skinned animals and the pelts, the unused ore, and precious jewels, but not before using his creation magic to make 10 sets of cushioned cots, canteens, flint, metal pots and pans, and eating utensils.

He put them all in his inventory space when he was finished. He wasn't a survivalist by any means and bearly could remember the survival gear from the Army that he used to pack on field missions, seeing as how it's been years since he had to use any of these things. So, for now Damien didn't worry about tents seeing as he could create a cover over everyone with earth magic. Staying dry also isn't an issue with his water or fire magic. He noticed the men already had the horses tied down even though none of the mounts looked like they were going to wander off any ways. Most likely due to them being created by the system.

Damien began walking back toward the dome where Selene was. He was about to speak to troops who were all already practicing with their weapons and spells on their own, when he froze in his tracks. He heard a loud horn blaring in his mind and he received a message in his vision that made his heart sink into his feet.

{{{{{WORLD NOTICE TO ALL BEINGS ON PLANET DAMASCUS!! The great Archmage Damien has created 3 new world renown spells in a month's time something no other mage on Planet Damascus has ever accomplished. These actions had brought great happiness to the Creator of your world. The rest of the world should sigh in envy and shame due to your own stagnant ways. Bow down to his power or feel his wrath! The Creator will not interfere with worldly affairs but, I take notice of greatness! The creator smile on his name! Rejoice! Your Creator has spoken!}}}}}

"WHAT! WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Damien screamed at the top of his lungs.
