Chapter 39

It would be nice to understand exactly what taking control of other people’s spells felt like.

Identification went to work, and Adrian smiled. The man had only one expert-level spell, and that was a Firebolt. If he fired it at Adrian, then he could just grab it and redirect it back on the caster.

There was more knowledge waiting to dump itself on him, but Adrian held it off.

“Hey?” he yelled at the black-haired magic user. “Fire mage.” The man looked at him, blue eyes reflecting his confusion. “Sorry to disturb you, but I just got a new skill.”

“Umm.” The man and the woman on his side had stopped. “Why would I—”

“I was wondering if you could help me test it.”

“How?”

“Simple.” Adrian smiled. “I need you to fire your most powerful Firebolt at . . .” Adrian pointed at a wall that a homeowner had put in to give themselves a flat lawn pre-event. It was a metre high with solid dirt behind it.

“You wish me to launch a Firebolt at an earth wall? It’s expert-level,” the man told him proudly.

“I know and yes.” Adrian gave his best smile. “It would be super helpful.”

“Why?” the woman next to the fire mage asked.

“I just got a new skill that would be great to test with someone friendly rather than against a monster.”

The man shrugged, pointed a finger, formed a Firebolt instantly and shot at the wall. There was only five mana in it, and it slammed home, sending chunks of earth flying. It left a basketball-sized crater.

Adrian winced. “Sorry, I wasn’t ready.” He was surprised both by how fast the spell had been generated and the extensive damage it caused. He shouldn’t have been surprised; expert-rated techniques and spells were on a different level.

The fire mage shrugged and then pointed again. This time, Adrian was ready. Internal haste was running at full power, and the new fire and ice domain was actively ready to respond. The spell as it formed on the mage’s finger assaulted his perception. There was an intricate internal structure controlling links and loops. It was mind-boggling. He could see the segments forming, the overlapping weaves of force and fire.

Compared to the original cookie-cutter Firebolt this was—like an F1 car contrasted with a billy cart. A jump in complexity washed through his brain and left an impression, while the important details were faithfully recorded by the interface His domain thrummed.

No one but himself was allowed to control fire within the bounds of his domain. This magic was not under his control, and that was unacceptable. Adrian sank power into the forming spell on the tip of the fire mage’s finger. His desire and that of his domain being boosted by the interface and to a smaller extent his core running the multitude of calculations to claim ownership. His energy saturated what had been the domain of the fire mage.

The fire mage finished the spell, tying off the edges and releasing it on a trajectory that, Adrian could instantly see, targeted the newly created hole.
