After his disastrous experience with black magic, Igneel realized that he needed to learn to balance his powers to avoid falling into the same trap again. He began to focus on understanding mana, the magical energy that powered all spells.
Frey explained to Igneel that mana was a finite resource, and that it was essential to use it wisely. Too much magic use could drain a mage's mana reserves, leaving them weakened and vulnerable.
Igneel learned that to become a powerful mage, he needed to learn to control his use of mana and balance his powers. He practiced diligently, focusing on controlling the flow of mana through his body and channeling it into his spells.
As he practiced, Igneel found it challenging to learn the use of light magic. Unlike his natural affinity for black magic, he struggled to draw on positive emotions, such as love and hope, to create spells. He found himself frustrated and discouraged by his slow progress in mastering this new form of magic.
With Frey's guidance, Igneel continued to practice, determined to learn how to balance his powers. He pushed himself to draw on positive emotions, even when they seemed elusive, and to channel them into his spells. Slowly but surely, he began to make progress.
Through perseverance and hard work, Igneel learned to combine his light and dark powers, creating spells that were balanced and controlled. He discovered that there was a natural harmony between the two types of magic, and that by drawing on both, he could create spells that were stronger and more versatile.
Igneel's newfound balance allowed him to master more complex spells, using both light and dark magic to create powerful and intricate magic circles. He found that his magic was more potent and precise, and that he could cast spells with greater control and efficiency.
As he continued his studies, Igneel began to see the world of magic in a new light. He realized that there was no true division between light and dark magic, and that all magic was simply a reflection of the emotions and intentions of the mage who wielded it.
With this understanding, Igneel became a more powerful and versatile mage, able to control and balance his powers in a way that few others could. He knew that he still had much to learn, but with each passing day, he grew more confident in his abilities and more determined to use his magic to protect the people he cared about.
