"Asmo, stop secretly studying runic magic and get back to math class!" Lifting his head from his book Asmo was started that Izzy saw him drawing runes in his math book. "But math is useless and I want to learn something useful!" "Math is not useless, it is essential for everything in this world. It is far from useless so stop ruining your math book." "I want to make an army of golems that do my bidding!" After living in their new home in the woods for the last three years Izzy and Asmo had both felt at ease and were happy to be free from the fort. During the time they spent together Asmo would get taught all about the world, with an old Izzy who was willing to teach him dark secrets he began to learn more about the world then most people.
"Well since you love runic magic so much tell me how it works and why you are writing it down non stop." His eyes lit up and he put down his book in a hurry. "Runic magic works with the person drawing a rune for the desired effect, it relies on the rune being drawn correctly, not the practitioner's ability. However a skilled runic drawer would be able to draw them in his mind while thinking of other things, the limit to one's skill is the limit that someone puts on themselves. Many with skill avoid learning to draw in their mental space, they fear of drawing the rune wrong and dying by having their mental space slowly destroyed." "Good but you didn't recall what skill is and why you are practicing so much." "I am studying to draw it so much so I don't make any mistakes when I draw it into my mental space, skill is something that is learned and rarely does anyone have a born talent for runic magic."
"Correct and the rune you keep practicing is off, you messed up the bottom. Don't go thinking you're some rare talent either, in others eyes they will see talent but you got here through hard work." Looking down at his pages in embarrassment, Asmo scratched the back of his head. "Relax just practice runic magic with my supervision. If you somehow start thinking a wrong shaped rune is correct then you have a major issue." "Do I really have no talent?" "Yes if you did you would already have that army of golems you want so much."
