Chapter 13 - Training

Sitting down with paper and pen in hand Asmo tried desperately to draw a rune he was told by Izzy to draw, however his hand slipped again ruining it. "Relax it's ok to ruin them, just take a breather for a bit." Hearing her words he nodded and put down the pen. "Why are we drawing runes, I thought you said I would have a skill that couldn't be stolen. You can just take the paper away from me and I would be helpless." Smiling at his comment she stood up from her chair and gestured him to follow, as they went outside to the backyard Izzy stopped suddenly. "Do you wanna know why you are practicing on paper and why you will be able to forever keep runic magic?"

Pointing toward the ground between her and him, suddenly a dirt version of him was formed. "What did you just do!" Pointing at the earth version of him with amusement he tried touching it. "It's called a golem and I made it in your image, this is basic runic magic." "Can I learn to make them as well!" "Yes it will take you a while tho to reach this level, now do you want to learn runic magic?" "Can we start learning it now, I want to build a golem!" Smiling at his words she began walking back inside, with an excited Asmo following behind her.

"First you must understand what you are doing when you cast any runic spell, if you don't understand the process then you are going to suffer in the future." Nodding his head he leaned over on his seat toward her to hear her better. "When you first cast any spells you must draw the rune in some location, this rule always applies to runic magic. What I showed you was me drawing it on the ground, I drew the spell on the ground using another spell which was made in my mental space. When you saw it suddenly rise from the earth it was taking the ground deep below it, the process was powered by the rune I drew on the ground." "You didn't power the golem?" "No with runic magic you don't need to, the most important part is simply drawing the rune you intended correctly or it won't function as you hoped." They sat in the study used for the former king and Asmo only got more excited the more he learned about runic magic.
