As Igneel's reputation grew, so did his studies at the Magic Academy. He was now learning a wide variety of elemental magics, including earth, air, water, and lightning. Though he had a natural affinity for dark magic, he quickly discovered that mastering other elemental magics was essential to creating more powerful fusion spells.
At the Academy, Igneel's classes focused on the basics of elemental magic, with simple spells and techniques that would allow him to use the elements in his fusion spells. He learned to manipulate the earth and rock around him, to summon gusts of wind and rain, and to conjure bolts of lightning from the sky.
At first, Igneel struggled with some of the elemental magics. Water magic, in particular, proved to be challenging for him, as he struggled to understand the fluid and constantly shifting nature of water. But with time and practice, he eventually mastered the basics of each elemental magic, gaining a deeper understanding of how each element could be manipulated and controlled.
With his newfound knowledge of elemental magics, Igneel began experimenting with new fusion spells. He combined his dark magic with earth magic to create a spell that could shatter boulders and move mountains, and he fused his fire magic with air magic to create a spell that could ignite entire forests.
As he continued to practice and refine his fusion spells, Igneel realized that there was no limit to what he could achieve with his magic. The world of magic was vast and full of possibilities, and he was determined to explore every corner of it.
