In Marvel With Random Power System - Chapter 12 finally magic!

“there are two types of energy that we use, the internal mystic energy which is used for weaker but faster spells especially during battle, and the external energies of the planet the sun or the universe itself we can even use energy from other dimensions, this energy is used for more complicated spells, rituals, and enchantments. the casting of a spell can be done through sheer willpower but it is easier to visualize then use a chant along with some form of physical gesture, this is done so that it becomes more instinctual so that in times of stress you can cast a spell reflexively.”

right now I was listening to one of Aine’s lectures, it has been five months since I started learning from Aine and I am finally going to be learning some spells! Aine says that we are building a solid base from which I could become an extremely powerful sorcerer.

“the language of a spell can affect the spell, for example, a spell in Arabic would be weaker than a similar spell in draconic because the draconic language is infused with magic it is the same with the demonic and angelic languages, certain languages are very closely tied to magic because they were designed to vibrate in a similar frequency as the mystical energies of certain dimensions. now on to magic matrixes…”

Magical theory was weird because it talks about the established forms of magic and how to work within their rules but also how to make your own rules. I could theoretically make my own magic language and magic matrixes but the amount of work that would go into the process would not make the results worth it unless I spent millions of years to perfect them.

“… now about technology, magic can be integrated with technology but it is difficult because one needs to be a master enchanter on top of having absurdly high control over whichever energy is being used to power the product, the Asgardians are pretty good at this their magic is of the runic variety most of the time, it works by…”

I had started thinking on what upgrades to add to my suit with my concept enhancing, I wonder what would happen if I gave the generator the concept of infinity, would it create infinite energy? speaking of my suit, I just realized that I don’t have any weapon systems on the suit I will have to rectify that eventually.

“Jeremy, are you paying attention?”

“uhh yes, you were talking about how as guardian magic draws energy from both Yggdrasil and Asgard as well as the Odinforce.”

“ok just making sure, anyway I think that now that I have gone over the basics we should have you attempt to use one of the simple spell matrixes.”

“alright! finally”

“ok begin with the basic shield spell”

I think back to the book that showed the basic held matrix and began. at first, I put my hands together then slowly pulled them apart while thinking of the matrix, a line formed then changed into a square when I lifted one hand and lowered the other, by switching the position of my hands a second square appeared except this one was on an angle forming an eight-pointed star, by rotating my hands around the star a circle was formed, as the two parts connected the matrix came to life as the inside of the glowing orange circle glowed with a soft orange light.

“excellent! I see you weren’t lying when you said that you had an excellent talent in both the control of magical energy and magic itself.”

“thank you master, and yes I imagine that without the boost to my talent and control it would have taken me much more effort to even create a spark,” I said as I let the shield drop, it took a little concentration to make and keep up but hopefully I would soon be able to make it reflexively.

“ok, now go rest tomorrow we learn about the sling ring.”

~

“there are multiple ways to travel through the use of magic, but the sling ring is one of the easiest. the sling ring allows a master of the mystic arts to travel anywhere in the universe and with much effort even the multiverse. now here is your sling ring, I want you to open a portal, anywhere is fine.”

I put the sling ring on my left hand and then while holding it out I started to move my right hand in circles while thinking of my room in my grandparent’s, as I did this sparks started to form and then slowly a small expanding circle until it was big enough for a person to walk through.

“very good, you got it on your first try, I was afraid that I would have to leave you on top of a mountain in the Andies.”

“thanks, that was harder than I thought, that explains why most don’t use this in the middle of battle, by the way, can the sling ring be modified or does it have to be a two finger ring?”

“it can be modified, all that is required is the magic matrix to be imprinted onto the object and for the object to be on the user’s hand, why?”

“I was just thinking about adding it to my suit and didn’t want to always have two of my fingers held together.”

“ah! I can see how that would be a problem. anyway, from now on, we are going to focus more on drawing dimensional energies, battle magic, rituals and enchanting.”

I couldn’t help but feel excited about the weeks to come!
