THIRTY-TWO

After being forced to listen to his brother’s innumerable attempts at learning the advanced Paladin skill, the quiet of the secluded grove felt heavenly. Nick had chosen this spot carefully, as it was far enough from the house that he wouldn’t be disturbed, yet close enough that he could still hear if someone called for him. It was perfect for studying the adventurer’s spellbook in peace.

A side effect of having an air affinity I didn’t consider is that I now hear everything around me. I literally need to concentrate to filter out most sounds, though it makes for a wonderful incentive to improve my control.

He sat cross-legged on a patch of soft grass, with the new spellbook balanced on his knees. The leather cover was cracked and worn, and the edges of the pages were frayed, but there was a sense of care in how the book had been maintained. The name “Ingrid” was penned in an elegant hand inside the front cover, followed by a note that read, “For those seeking the skies.”

A bit grandiose, but no one ever accused adventurers of being modest.

As Nick delved into the text, he quickly realized that Ingrid had been no ordinary adventurer. The introduction painted a picture of a young woman who had risen to C-rank almost effortlessly. Her talent for wind magic was apparently enough to earn her an apprenticeship from a famous master, though from what little she wrote, he gathered there had been some trouble that forced her away from the academic lifestyle.

Still, she had an [Advanced Wind Affinity], which allowed her to bend the air to her will with an ease that Nick could only dream of.

She wrote with a confidence that bordered on arrogance, describing her spells and techniques as though they were second nature. Nick’s [Minor Wind Affinity] felt like a flickering candle compared to the roaring bonfire of her talent.

Despite that, there was much to learn. Her insights into mana flow and spell construction were invaluable, even if they were steeped in the assumption that her readers shared her innate gifts.

Of the few intact spellforms left, one caught Nick’s eye: [Windburst]. According to Ingrid’s notes, it was designed to summon a concentrated cone of wind from above, powerful enough to flatten trees and scatter any enemy below 50 CON. The description was fascinating beyond her casual insights. It finally gave some data points that had been severely lacking in Nick’s instruction.

Apparently, 50 points in an attribute was considered the first threshold that allowed the use of more advanced abilities and resistance to weaker spells. For example, the thunderhoofs Nick had faced had, on average, about 40 to 50 points in CON, meaning that [Windburst] could have sent them flying. On the other hand, a herd leader—a powerful variant known to occasionally appear in the grassland—had up to double that amount, and it would barely feel the effects of such a spell.

Only an idiot would use a blunt wind spell against such a massive beast, especially when there were many more lethal options at the same tier.
