Mind art had some steps if you want to master it perfectly and it gave many benefits to person. First step of mind art is that one needed suppress his thoughts and emotions and achieve empty state of mind, it is also called mind blank or zero state of mind. It's been a year, Arjun and Sophia made lot of progress in Mind art.
The second step is control emotions and thought, unlike first step where you learn to suppress thought and with them emotions in second step you have to learn control your thoughts and emotions or even change them to a degree so you can show fake emotions as well thought to your opponent who knows how to invade minds of other peoples.
third step is accessing Mindscape or mind space, to understand it you need to know what are object of consciousness. object of consciousness are all the things that come to your mind: thought, Imagination, emotions, perception, senses, memories and so on. And Mindscape consists of all the object of consciousness that are arrayed inside in your mind.
Arjun could suppress his thoughts and Emotions After 2.5 month so he completed first step. his mother took 6 month to achieve Empty mind but she had to give much more time to practice, Effects of mind art enticed her very much as who did not want genius mind like Einstein.
Arjun mastered second step in 6 months, suppressing thought and emotions one thing but controlling them was totally different, perfect control on thoughts and emotions means you could be able to fake emotions and memories and it also needed great imagination. his mother was still mastering it but she made lot of progress, it was difficult for her as Arjun had cheat but she did not, Arjun had guess that in next 2 or 3 months she will be finished. Mind art obviously uses a great deal of Intent and will, together with high degree of mental and emotional discipline, where by clearing mind of any thoughts and controlling emotions, we are creating barrier which cant as easily probed.
Arjun just got access to his mindscape two months ago, even if person completed 2nd step, getting access to mindscape was different thing. When Arjun entered in mindscape for first time, He got him self in bright white space, then he saw bubbles were scattered around him and when he observed closely he understood that these bubbles were his memories from past life as well as current life.
Next step after gaining access to mindscape is building it, and Arjun had to build his mindscape from scratch, Arjun decided to model his mindscape on basis of solar system, So he started building it and also he had to separate memories of past life from this life and he was doing it at same time building his Mindscape.
first he created background of various planets, comets, asteroids, stars, nebula, blackholes, galaxies etc. like how Space is seen form out side of earth. he didn't go in any details as he just wanted to create it like background scenery. Then Arjun started to focus on creating objects of solar system which is Sun, other planets and natural satellites of planets etc.
Arjun's magic 'Arc of Embodiment' very special, its included all type of magic like creation, elemental, space, summoning etc. but it was not easy trying to create new things as well as new magic and its spells. his reserves were lower so he could not create advanced magic.
Arjun came to conclusion that valuable the magic or object, more the price he have to pay. proficiency and experience in magic also mattered. So without knowledge Arjun couldn't create object efficiently as he couldn't imagine object he wanted to create, he also tried to create Philosopher's Stone like Nicolas Flamel had but he just created ruby because it had same appearance as ruby in movie as he didn't have its information or he didn't even saw Philosopher's stone face to face.
In span of one year Arjun learned many spells and techniques and they were created by him self, there were some special like shadow storage where he stored things in his shadows, he stored all things he created while practicing in shadow storage, magical telekinesis, 'Flash step' where he could travel at speed of light but only short distance as his body didn't support as his body was very weak. he also made short range teleportation spell called 'blink'
Arjun also created magic skill called magic Armor, he used pure magic to create armor, he wanted to apply elements to armor like fire, Ice, earth etc. but it was not possible currently as his body was not enough resistant to those elements. He had to use magic spells on his body so his body could adapt slowly to elements like fire, lightening, Ice, water etc. which could harm his body.
He also wanted to perfect elemental armors in next two years , for 1 year he concentrated on four elements fire, Earth, water, air, he also made some spells for other advanced elements Ice, lightening, Light, Darkness but his focus was more onto later four elements. Healing and purification magic were part of Light magic, he also added spell light constructs in list of light magic.
And for Darkness magic he could create only two magic spells, shadow concealing and shadow storage... well shadow storage had some aspects of spatial magic, It was easy for him to create shadow storage spell because he choose his shadow, no matter what, he was owner so he made space inside his shadow where he will be able to store his stuff, it's size was around 303.51 sq. m, he was learning about stopping time of his storage but it was far away. may be one day he will be able to eat piping hot meal at any time. Arjun tried to create space where he could store living being but it was long way.
Arjun put Metamorphmagi magic or transformation magic, and cloning magic in next year schedules, so he could go any where with out his identity being exposed. he was also working on teleportation magic. Another thing he noticed that his magic was not affecting technology, he had saw in movie as well as read in book that Wizards magic and technology conflict with each other, he thought that his magic and abilities were from different world and only he was special in this world.
