After waking up refreshed and ready to take on the world. Vector took care of his personal needs, took some deep breaths, and was ready to fully dive back into Spacial Magic.
This time with a clear goal in mind.
After playing with Spacial mana, the different distances, the various amount of mana spending, and just the overall feel of it.
He realized Spacial mana was sort of like an auction, an exchange between two entities, but the Spacial Magic always got greedier for even the slightest of changes.
The further away, the more of the effect, and the size of something, all effected the increase in price. However, with this being said… this means that Spacial Magic in your proximity is much lower … meaning he could still learn the spells he needed vital for his escape.
The Spacial laws for overall less mana consumption, was usually anywhere in eyesight. Anything visually in front of him, rather than imaginative, or memory-wise, was significantly lower to pay with. Spacial Magic also depended on the mana affected. Were you affecting a awhile area? Yourself? Or an object/objects?
Each affecting mana consumption rate as well.
- - -
Unlike how ice feels like like clay ready to be molded, space was like a mana currency, the only limitation was yourself.
Creativity, Spacial Mana Control, and Mana capacity were the only things affecting Spacial Magic.
One could literally swallow a planet per say, but they would need the intelligence statues to do that, so they could handle the mental stress, while staying focused, and not letting the spell go wild. All this, while also having the mana in the upmost control, to not cause a backfire or affect yourself, and this is only assuming you have that huge of a capacity!
How much mana would it take?
[ 1.000.000.000/1.000.000.000.000 ] ? Or would it be more?!! Is there a mana limit??
Not even most gods could pull this feat off most likely. 'Otherwise they would've been done some petty sh#t like that.' - thought Vector
So while, understanding these laws. He started thinking of his first Spacial Magic spell, something basic, but useful , teleportation yes.
However, teleporting to a given area in ones mind would take too much effort, time, and mana. Therefore, he needed a movement spell that was only viable for his range of eyesight, and could only do this as well, as his mana reserves were not ready to handle huge Spacial spells.
He needed a rapid fire spell of sort, something he could slam, sort of like that blue x-men dude.
However, it was a lot easier to say and think about, then to actually pull it off.
He started off very slow, only trying to send objects through two mini vortex's he made. This seeming proved to be difficult as well, however, the more time he spent… the better he got … at an insane rate.
He got way better - too f#cking fast. That title really kicking in, alongside his Spacial bloodline lineage, all providing boosts to his Spacial understanding.
He was then sending a rock to a given place, all across the room, only by using one vortex to send it, and sort of forcing it through, rather than using two vortex's.
This was a different process because rather than opening two vortex's and passing them through, as he was conjuring a single one, to basically squeeze one through. This one vortex method however, was a one time deal. However, In theory, these vortex's or "gates" as he'll call them, could be permanently or temporally stationary for a given time.
It was a doorway of sorts. No, rather it was a bridge. Spacial Magic was the river , while what he was now doing with the one vortex method, was driving a jet ski, unlike walking across the bridge. It was the same process of traveling over… with the same destination in mind … yet one was more recklessly fast and the other was more stable.
So with this discoveries, time passed on . Vector slowly using bigger rocks, different mana gems, different locations, various sizes, and finally trying gaining the courage to put his hand in!

' F#ck! Let's just do it!! maybe I could make that inventory idea I had, or Spacial ring? Pouch? Void? Whatever, they are all the same thing, and I need one for accessibility. UGHH ! Let's see if I can pull the rock out of one end. Rather than use one vortex to push, I'll use the dual gate method, just in case since, since seems more secure! UGHHHH HERE WE GO! F#ck, please don't let me lose an arm! .. AH SH#t don't jinx me!'
Vector reluctantly put his arm, in the now fist sized swirling vortex, immediately upon doing so, he felt a feeling! A hardness, A rock! He could indeed grab it out of one end, and pull out the other. He even felt that if the Spacial vortex somehow closed, he could still regain his arm by simply willing it again, to open once more. Yet he wouldn't take chance…
' wait if I can get it again, doesn't that mean this vortex is mine? Or could anyone get my arm? No I don't believe so… then what would happen if I used all my mana for a "permanent" void sort to speak. I could try and create a fixed space, located between space and the world mana.. Hmmm… I think it would work. However, I don't know how to go about it … hmmmmmm… ' though Vector

( Another 3 Hours Later, Unknown Cavern , Slave Mine - Den Kingdom )
' UHHHHH '
" F#ck " screamed Vector , his angry voice bouncing off all the cavern walls.
Even after making progress, realizing what to do, he still couldn't perform the spell and execute it properly. After trying the "gate" method , and the singular forceful vortex method, he named "forceful vortex " he realized he needed something different. Much different !
Rather than affecting the Spacial Mana in the real world… maybe he had to manipulate it, rather in his inner mana sea. Finally realizing this shocking revelation, he immediately sat down to mediate, while entering his own personal abode.
Like usual, the island seemed more vibrant than last, the small insects such as butterflies slapping around. The the small animals, like rabbits and squirrels could be seen more abundantly. The Golden colored leaves spread all though out, gleaming with a Health hue, and rapidly multiplying even more , therefore spreading more vegetation out.
His night sky, filled with countless moons, planets, and stars. All across different levels of sight, like a black canvas, with colorful dots spread throughout. Seeing this scene, and thinking of the sky in this way, Vector wondered if he was the artist? Could he control it ? He was the owner was he not?
Was he subconsciously making these "moons" and stars, therefore, could he affect them? Change them? Maybe even use them? Was this "mana sea" really just a normal mana sea? Was Spacial Magic just Spacial Magic?!! Vector had too many damn questions!
However, before bombarding himself, he slowly willed himself to calm down, and steel his heart once more because he only had 3 more days left with his rations. The time for escape approaching rapidly…
Vector reaching out with his mana sense, could feel the Spacial Magic, however, unlike the outside world … it was a completely different feeling. It was one and the same.
However, It wasn't submissive, nor moldable, it was simply his. It didn't even feel like an ownership, or a partnership, it was simply part of his being… it was his mana. His identity? It representation of was his Spacial Magic.
' Wow, that's crazy as f#ck! ' thought Vector
Feeling the complete control of the Spacial Magic, he decided to give it a try, but first he had to try and come up with a design or idea to hold his items in an "inventory" or Spacial storage type ordeal.
' A box? Ring ? Bracelet? Storage room? House Garage? Castle? Floating bubble? What do I "store" my items in? Pouch maybe? Ughhhhh!!! '
- - -
( 2 Hours Later , Unknown Cavern , Slave Mine - Den Kingdom )
Finally after 2 hours of tinkering, brainstorming, and then finally dumbing it all down… he got his design. He started off trying to pull off complicated designs, than fancy ones, and eventually got swept away in the creation process that he forget his true purpose… here.
Finally after testing all those out, he decided for a simple but efficient way to imagine his inventory, and in a way it was instantaneously… well hopefully it translates to the real world as well.
He thought of a basic standard box , with some various testing of mana calculations, sizes, and design. He decided to spend all his mana since it would indeed.
Since it would be permanent, approximately around 10 feet by 10 feet. Which wasn't too shabby in his opinion, for the amount of mana he held.
He imagined two boxes stacked up, with both ends opened, with each item being able to be coated in a metal ball, while his hand was the magnet, to fish said items out. Therefore he could send a pulse to send the marble back, and instantly "pull" the metal marble out.
Now, like any other Spacial Magic it worked the same as others. It stored stuff, could be pulled out, and operated one the same basis. Yet Vector somehow only managed to grasp this feeling of a "personal void space" as Spacial mages like to call it, and completely change the nature of it, by imagining a marble and magnets…. only someone from earth could imagine such a thing, as marbles and magnetic forces are non existent here.
So this over complication of his design, affected the learning process significantly , causing more time to be spent, and less time to train on other Spacial aspects. However, one plus side did come out of it, with the rare design and idea of his storage. The call back time was … extraordinarily fast. The time in between to get said items was significantly higher than others.
Most mages would have to "open" up their given designed storage, usually pertaining as a box, ring, or bracelet. Then after doing so, while controlling the mana to keep said storage "open", they would have to locate the item they want, and then they would have to manipulate the magic to sort of cough it up or swallow it back down.
This typically made average Spacial mages to call back items in around 30 seconds, while the highest advanced Spacial mages could call back items in 10-15 seconds. Yet Vector , who designed his storage in such way, could call back items in less than 1 second.
Which is a feat that would already be amazed by even the highest of Spacial mages. While a few seconds could be brushed off, a few seconds in between fights, and life and death situations. Will possibly save his life, and defeat his foe.
While the low call back time was indeed handy, the biggest thing would be the fighting capabilities he could utilize. Imagine imbuing a dagger with your Spacial Magic, preferably with a rune integrated to your given mana link, then throwing it at an opponent.
After killing your foe, calling it back to you, the dagger would instantly be back in your storage, ready to be shot out somewhere else once again. Now imagine you have the intelligence and mana captivity to be able to be able to manipulate 10-20 daggers, with constant targeting, all constantly shedding blood… all destroying your enemies.
' a one man army ' Vector thought smiling like a manic

Vector figuring out the design, the way he wanted to go about it, and the overall process to create his first spacial magic spell, all in all he was extremely pleased. He wanted to create it now! Alas, his mana was still not at full, even while resting for 2 hours.
[ MP : 976/1230 ]
' Ugh time to wait some more, with my mana regenerate per minute around 8, an hour would be 480, so only a little less than half an hour left. Hmm finally ! '
- - -
( 30 Minutes Later, Unknown Cavern , Slave Mine - Den Kingdom)
Deep inside Vector's inner mana sea, significant changes to the sky could be seen, planets of all types, stars of all kinds, moons of all colors were rotating so fast, all swirling looking like a mass vortex of shining colors.
The little animals could barley process the movements, got motion sickness, and all passed out.
The night sky constantly twinkling and blinking, until finally a clicking sound could be heard, the turbulent mana now ceased.
In the night sky, a constellation up above could be seen on the island, it appeared as 2 rectangular boxes, filled with a white outline, while various color stars pulsed in a pattern.
However, if one reveled high above the night sky, they would witness a scene that any earthling would laugh at.
This outline had two boxes stacked up against each other, alongside a "handle" of some sorts to open it, with the inside having layers to classify objects when pulling them out with his hand, the "magnet".
So
What's this design you ask ? Something from earth .. something all people need, and all foodies absolutely worship. Such as Vector himself .
[ Spell created ]
[ What would host like to call this spell? ]
…
"Vector's Fridge "
[ Recorded! ]
[ Host has learned spell "Vector's Fridge " ]
…
[ Spells (4/6) : Ice-Bullet , Ice-Overlord, Ice-Sovereign, Vector's Fridge ]
…
[ Vector's Fridge ] - MP : None , Storage : 10 Feet x 10 Feet - A promising mage with the blessing of space itself, managed to create his first Spacial spell, being a personal void space. Unique only to him, with an instantaneous call back time, alongside the ability to store offensive spells, located in the "freezer" part of the "fridge". Which would not be possible without the custom design in mind, as other elemental mana, alongside living beings are typically not permitted in ones void storage.
- - -
' Yes ! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! I F#CKING DID IT ! I made my storage spell overpowered and named it my fridge! Lol! … ' Vector thought happily, before literally falling face first, on the hard rocky floor, in a completely knocked out, sleeping state.
[ MP : 1230/1230 ] —> ( - 1230 ) = [ 0/1230]
The creation of that one spell, which is permanent inside his mana sea, indeed costed all of his mana reserves… which will instantly knock out anyone. No matter if your a god or arch-mage, mana exhaustion is something everyone has to put up with.
