'No, I do not if must know, besides I'm still too young for it to stop growing' Andrew hobbled the last few steps to the large shelves of books
'I wonder how we obtained so many books to spell if humans never made the system or magic itself.' He thought as he browsed through the healing section of the light magic.
But none of them seem to help with immediate healing. There are a couple here and there that would help with natural regeneration though. It seems light magic is really focused on anything outside of its user.
Looking around picking up random books that seems interesting. He stumbled across a section of books that were so abandoned that the dust collected a visible increase in size of the book. Walking over he picked up the first one in the distance.
—————
latent regeneration (evolvable):
Imparts CON by 50%
—————
'CON? As in the constitution? We don't have such a stat. No wonder it's half dust, it's practically useless. Do you know anything about this?'
[I'm afraid I can't give you that information. I don't want to be smited by an old man. I wonder if Merida is leading now, maybe I should be smited.]
The deep voice replied and drifted off into it's own delusions as Andrew looked at the book with deep interest.
'I wonder, if it exists later, this might be one of the most helpful spells. But a decrease is hindering. But arnt these spells always completely broken later on? Like how hard mode gives you better stats? It's also avalable to everyone? Welp, I'll find out later' Qndrews inner dialog went on and on as he put the book back onto the shelf, not wanting to risk it.
He walked along the edge of the bookshelf and stumbled upon an interesting book.
———-
Eyes of the impervious (evolvable)
Allows the user to intimidate opponents by giving the user an authoritative aura.
Causes slight impairment to opponent depending on stat difference between user and target
When being used dex is decreased by 40%, causing you to not go any faster than a jog.
———-
"Ah that's why it's covered in dust, why do all of these come with stat decreases? This is a major setback for someone just starting." Andrew mumbled as he took the book with him back to the desk.
Stumbling along the way he set the book down and looked up at Zoe. Her face was covered by her dark blonde hair as she drooled lightly into the table. Her small breasts pressed against the corner of the desk as she slept lightly.
Andrew smiled lightly as he sat across from her quietly and opened his book to learn the new spell.

United Nations, Manhattan, New York, United States.
People are gathered panicky around a large table. All of them wore a nervous expression with a serious smile on their faces as they all sat.
"We need to evacuate everyone immediately, we can't waste a single second. We're only alive right now because god knows why. We need to have everyone use the transport beam immediately." A woman pleaded with shaking hands as she looked at others.
"We only have enough energy to transport a portion of earth's population. We can only send maybe a couple million from each country over the years. Send a message to each official and let them decide people of importance and give them a means of verification.''The man in a suit said without remorse.
"But we can't just leave others. What about the family's of the important people? What about everyone else?" The woman retorted with nods from a lot of state officials.
"I understand that, however there is no solution. My team of scientists have reported to me that in order to set the earth back on track we would need a force big enough to overpower the beam. Not only removing the only form of contact and humanity's greatest accomplishment. But the chance that it even happens is impossible. For personal transport maybe." the man retorted
"I see.. But what is the best way to go about this"
The man sat there in deep thought for multiple minutes before anyone said anything.
"We should send the most powerful fighters we have. We should also send some young prospects to help them learn and collude with the other world. We should also send ourselves, we are the leaders of multiple nations. We need to communicate with each other and them." A voice spoke from the back, everyone turned to look at the old man with a trimmed beard.
"That's…. Reasonable." The man in front replied. His black hair was untidy in stress
"This will give everyone here the reassurance that the other place is safe, as well as giving everyone a substantial amount of time to develop a way of travel."
"Regardless, the people may think that we are just using this as an escape pod."
The old man smiled at this and nodded his head.
"Exactly, our goal is not to maintain our image. But to get everyone safe. Doing this will start panic and will force everyone to try and develop something to follow. Panic makes people work, the people who don't work in panic will fall."
Everyone was silent at this notion, surprised at the sudden idea that leaving others for death was the safest option.
"Regardless of weither this is the right option or not, we should do this now before later. The more time they panic, the better after all."
His smile grew wider, as if the devil himself was behind the old kind mask.
Everyone thought of this, it made some sense. But morally it was incorrect, but when have humans used morals in terms of death. In front of them was a paradise of their taking, a guaranteed survival.
The temptation was too strong and everyone agreed to send out the order.
The old man watched the commotion as everyone rushed to send out messages.
"Wonderful, now we can reap the benefits ourselves." He said to himself as he turned to a small group of people behind him.
"Shall we?"
