I bit my lip as I concentrated on the shimmering, pale gold, translucent wall in front of me. This was my Light Shield Skill. The time was just before noon on Sunday the last day of the first week of the Mating Season.
I was in my clearing trying to level up my skills. I decided to try something new, since casting this spell over and over again had not done anything but waste my magic. I was now in the midst of keeping the shield up for as long as possible. As the seconds ticked away, I could feel my magic being pulled through my body and out my right hand. The feeling was unpleasant, like the burning sensation in my legs after a long run.
I released the spell and lowered my hand, gasping for air. I felt a familiar ding ring out in my mind and a new message appeared before my eyes.
Skill: Light Shield lvl up! Skill Light Shield lvl 3.
