Chapter 28 - 27 Learning Magic

Cyan continued his mad laughter as the massive fireball approached, walking into the inferno as it approached. His skin and fur began to melt as it struck him. His entire body filled with agony as the ruin of his body began to smolder under the intense heat and pressure.

He did not stop laughing as he continued walking, seemingly undisturbed by the fire that was roasting him. A student gust of wind blew past, blowing away the smoke that had been obscuring the sceen. The pack and Beka were astounded by what they saw. Beka's loud gasps caused Burr to turn around, he himself was shocked by what he saw.

A charred figure approached, his skin had become a the color of coal, and began to flake off of him. His naked body, completely devoid of hair or clothes continued to approach. He held something in his left hand, but it was too difficult to make out. A flick of the figures right wrist once again sent a volley of thrown arrows at the pug.

But was too astonished by the sight before him to react in time, three arrows striking his body. As a mage his physical stats were not that great, and the blow send him falling to the floor. he weakly gasped "How? How could you survive that? we put all of our remaining energy into that blast."

Cyan continued to laugh as he approached. A mad look on his face as he stopped in front of the defeated pug. "Do you submit, to this pitifully weak beast king?"

The pug bowed his head in response. He noticed the object that Cyan had been carrying was an empty canteen. How could such a small amount of water make any difference he wondered to himself. "I submit whole heartedly to you your Majesty."

Cyan nodded as a new notification popped up in front of him.

Cyan did not hesitate to click yes. The result was instantaneous as A soft glow covered his body and information rapidly entered his mind.

{Magic is the process of utilizing the abundant energy that naturally occurs in the world, called mana, to reach an improbably result. A person can absorb a certain amount of this naturally occuring mana limited by his intelligence. The rate this mana is recovered is based on wisdom. This is why humanity, who naturally have more intelligence and wisdom than the other races are the most inclined to the usage of magic.}

{This does not mean that magic is something that only humans can use, in fact there are several creatures and beasts that are able to use magic regardless of their intelligence. For example the undead have a natural gift towards necromancy, and despite the fact that they are mostly mindless at low levels. }

{Regardless of race or class, every person has the possibility of learning to use magic, though must are simply able to use a magic item. The usage of spells is something that is exclusive to mage classes. Regardless of class or Race every person has an affinity to a specific element. Those with a high affinity for a specific element are likely to unlock the specialized mage class of their element}

{This skill that is being imparted to you is a skill that works regardless of elemental affinity. It imbues your physical attacks with your elememtal affinity. The skill is passive and permanent. It absorbs one point of mana per attack.}

A series of notifications appeared before them. and he slowly examined them starting with the one that had led to his survival.

. You do not meet the requirements for this skill so the effects have been reduced until conditions for a regular unlock are met.>

Your physical attacks gain the water attribute doing an additional 25% water damage. each attack lowers your mana by 1.

looking at the notifications he smiled. Aloud he spoke to Burr "you lost not because you see weak or because I am strong, You would have won had I not awoken a powerful passive ability. It just so happens that your element is weak against mine."
