Taking Flight

His eyes pored over the pages, struggling against the low light to make out the archaic words. For some reason, every author found it necessary to write a book introducing each spell. He didn’t need to know about the blessed’s youthful vacation to the Horn Coast, where a summer on the sun-dappled beaches had provided the inspiration needed to finish the spell.

Micah skipped ahead. Now they were blathering about how their grandmother inspired them to try and reverse the flow of aging. He flipped another page. Something about a lab accident reducing her to an infant. Another page.

Finally. He practically sighed. Deep in the middle of a hostile building with enemies roaming the halls, the last thing he needed was some dead wizard’s life story. At least the spell sounded promising.

Temporal vortex. Micah’s finger traced over the complex spell forms, consigning the shape and formation of the mana constructs to the Ageless Folio.

They were impossibly complex. He’d need to purify his mana to an impossible degree to stretch it thin enough for him to weave it into the multiplex of geometric designs that would form the tapestry of the completed spell.

It would take dozens of tries for him to perfect it, but even without reading the description, Micah could see what the spell did. The alternating layers of temporal energy would create a zone of flux, drawing on the potential of any object inside it and twisting it.

It couldn’t just age a target or give them back their youth. That was a level of power that even Micah’s enhanced mana couldn’t sustain. Temporal energy was just too potent. Instead, by drawing from the target, it fired tendrils of energy, about the size of his index finger, through its quarry.

Some of the ropes of energy pulled power, stealing years from their quarry. Others transferred them right back into the entity, aging it noticeably. Ultimately the effect would be brutal. Organs and bones would twist and warp under the conflicting strain of the magic, hopefully crippling the target.

The only problem was the spell’s slow casting speed and high cost. The complex sigils would take Micah almost a minute to complete, and even then they might not be successful. Worse, his ability to move the area that the spell targeted was limited, locked into the complexity of the spell form that made its casting so slow. A potent ability to be sure. One that could fell even a Royal Knight if he managed to hit them, but the actual casting would be a problem.

The next spell, after Micah made it past the author’s mushroom risotto recipe, was almost as interesting. Temporal stutter was also a tier-six spell. Unlike most, its spell form could be formed in advance and would last dormant for up to an entire day until Micah had need of it, at which point a simple somatic trigger would cast it.

The spell itself was both powerful and simple. Once cast, it reversed the flow of time by one second. Enough to save him from an ambush or unslit his throat.
