Looking at the choices it is obvious what I will choose. Also magic swordsman and shadow assassin have a certain appeal shadow tempest is exactly what I need the system even offers a lot more attributes per level.

You can make you darkness magic solidify.

You can see in total darkness.
I experienced a number of things, first my vision increased, then I try to use dark magic and I feel a strong connection to it, manipulating it became a lot easier I could easily form many shapes. I form a dagger and use the bew skill materialized darkness, and the dagger solidifies, it is as hard as a basic dagger and I try to cut with it and its sharpness is decent, I can feel the mana drain from me and make the dagger vanish. Its a very costly skill but has a lot of uses. I then use blinding shade on my self and my vision turnes black and white. All in all it was an all rounded upgrade.

A day later and Mark levels up. He choose a path that focuses on mana control and he learned a skill called mana barrier where he creats a barrier of pure mana that surrounds him and it has a 2 meter diameter. He gaines a total of 46 attributes every level so 2 attribute points higher than me.
We move deeper into the mountains and see a group of 6 orc patrols with one of them wearing full body armor.
I pause for a second and decided to buy new equipment.

I then buy a few miscellaneous items for emergencies and we move to engage the patrol squad. They make a formation where the comander is in the center and the other five surrounde him.
Our strategy is simple we approach the two at the back. I stealthly reach the one on the right deliver a backstab followed by a stab in the neck, Mark directly beheads the other one.
The three orcs notice something and turn around. The scream at us and come charging I go to handel their leader while Mark handles the other two. First I use darkness cloak. The orc commander is using a mace. He begins to swing the mace at me when I use air compression at the sole of my boots propelling me forward dodging the mace swimg and comming face to face with the orc cutting off its arm wielding the mace. The orcs eyes turn red and a red aura engulfes him. He screems and lunces at me.
He swings his arm at me and I defend with my sword. My sword is propelled backwards and I actually can't cut his arm. It seems his defense increased tremendously I also see his arm slowly regenerating.
He is much faster than me so when he ruches again I use air compression to dodge his strike and go near his face using the fact that he has no right arm I place my hand near his face and use blinding shade.
The orc is blinded and I rapidly retreat two steps backwards. The orc thrashes around and I use this chance to get near him and then I use air compression again but this time on my elbow as I strike the creatures eyes my sword passes through its brain.

I look around and notice Mark is about to finish the last orc.
Then as I think of ways to improve my way of fighting I hear a voice.
"Hello, who are you guys?. And how did you beat an orc squad with only you two?"
