Chapter 19 - CHP19 Magic Circle and Mana Well

Sargon's Mother Explained in Detail.

"Circles hold profound significance and serve as a focal point for the magic wielders.

Magic Circles are not merely physical markings or symbols etched into the ground but a representation of a mage's innermost being. They are symbolic gateways that connect the realms of the mundane and the extraordinary, bridging the gap between the mortal and the mystical.

It is through their very heart, their core of existence, that they channel it, delving into the depths of their own soul, tapping into the wellspring of their powers, the Magic Circle responds. Thus Magic Circle becomes a conduit, a vessel for their intentions, desires, and the raw essence of their magic."

"Oho", Sargon's interest was piqued.

She Continued with a straight face but inside she was quite happy and proud she was passing on her knowledge to her child , additionally the teachings came out better than she had rehearsed the night before.

"Picture, if you will, a magnificent tapestry woven with threads of vibrant colors as Mana Centre.The threads are the mana , which are the basis for Magic.Each Color represents an element, a fundamental force of nature. "

"ohoo"

His mother nodded, her expression filled with pride. "Ah, mana, the essence of magic itself. Mana is like a malleable substance, capable of shape transformations. Just as a skilled sculptor molds clay into intricate forms, a mage molds mana with focused intent."

After finishing the basic lecture and asking and answering some basic questions she moved onto the practical teachings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Channeling the mana.

Sargon's mother began his mana training by first teaching him how to control his mana. She showed him how to feel the mana's flow and manipulate it according to his will. She then taught him how to control the finer details of the mana, like making it move in a specific pattern or creating intricate shapes.

Next, she taught him how to make the mana lose control and flow like a flood. Sargon practiced this by visualizing a river of mana flowing out of his hands and cascading over a nearby rock. He then learned how to condense the mana into a denser form and make it sharper, so it could be used as a weapon.

Just as he was about to lose control completely, he felt his Rune activating and glowing with a dim light. It stabilized his mana and helped him to control the surge of power. With the help of the Rune, Sargon was able to focus his mana into a coherent form.

After doing the circulation for who knows how many times he was slowly getting the hang of it.It had been almost lunch-time.

They then went up the building and Sargon finally had a rest. He was already sore from opening his Dragon-Origin Dantian but now he was even tired, as if all his energy was sucked and dried out. It indicated that he was still not good in Circulation as there was loss of mana due to the friction with the meridians and un-coordinated circulation and pressures in the different phases during the circulation.

He practiced the Breathing Technique of All-Body CUltivation Sutra to increase his energy after he undid and unhide the Dragon-Origin Dantian. It took a few Cycling before he was slowly freshening and was called for Dinner.

Dinner was delicious and appetizing perhaps due to hunger and still lack of energy.

After having dinner they went to the Training Room again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now we focus on the Magic-Circle Part."

His mother smiled tenderly and replied, "In Nashirah major Mana-Cultivation techniques to gather energy as basis focuses on the creation of circles, acting as centralized nodes to connect with your Mana-Channels, allowing you to create pseudo-Mana-Wells within your body."

Intrigued and eager to learn, Sargon sat up, his eyes wide with curiosity. His mother sat down beside him and began to explain the theory behind this unique mana/qi technique.

She spoke of how many , the vital energy of the world, flowed through the Mana-Channels, nourishing the body and enhancing its abilities. She described how the circles acted as conduits, enabling the meridians to mimic the functions of dantians.

In other words, with the help of a Circle that has fixed mathematical-like rune function, it can act as a proxy to create a false Mana-Hall.

If the technique from Master Darth-Reliance was to create small Multiple-Processors i.e Conceptualized Dragon-Dantians to act on the behalf of more or less Closed and inactive Core-Processor(i.e Lower Universal Dantian) , while Nashirah Uses Hyper-Threading and making Single Channel as a proxy to create a Dantian temporarily.

With great care and patience, Sargon's mother guided him through the first step of the training. She instructed him to focus his attention on his heart, visualizing a shimmering circle forming around it. She explained that this circle would serve as a centralized node, connecting his heart meridian to the other meridians in his body.

Sargon closed his eyes, his mind focused on the task at hand. With each breath, he imagined the circle growing stronger and brighter, its energy intertwining with the meridians, forging a connection between them.

He repeated this Process until he got the hang of it.

His mother gently corrected his posture and encouraged him to deepen his concentration. She reminded him of the importance of discipline and dedication in cultivating one's mana or qi. She emphasized that progress would require consistent practice and a deep understanding of one's own body and energy flow.

"You have gotten the hang of it. The creation of the 1st Magic- Circle is not a dangerous one, but consecutively adding another Circle on top of it will continue to be harder like climbing the heavens. You must nonetheless focus carefully while practicing. Unless uncontrollable, don't make magic-Circle on your own and only do it when you are in the presence of Father or Mother. Do I make myself clear ?"

"Yes Mom. However i wanted to ask you for a long time but you never answered.Mother, what was your Learning Journey Like ?"

She paused for a moment, lost in the memories of her own magical journey. "I remember vividly the time and place at which I created my Mana-Circle around my Heart Channels.It was most satisfying. It felt as if I was one with Almighty ShahRaab in his infinite Bliss. But what comes is after the Creation. "

"The Channeling and Transformations of Mana my dear, the first time I witnessed the transformation of mana. I stood in awe as my mentor effortlessly shaped a swirling vortex of wind, weaving it into a gust that danced through the trees."

The boy's eyes widened, his imagination taking flight. "Did you do amazing things with mana too, Mother?"

A nostalgic smile adorned the mother's face. "Indeed, my son. I've shaped flames that danced like ethereal spirits and commanded earth to form sturdy barriers. Each element has its own unique nature and properties, waiting to be explored and understood."

Leaning closer, she whispered, her voice carrying a hint of ancient wisdom, "But remember, my child, that true mastery of magic lies not in the manipulation of external forces alone. It is the transformation of one's own self that is magic, the nature transformation of mana, that brings about the most profound effects."

"Nature Transformation ?"
