Chapter 6: Suppressing the Rampaging Spirit

“So the greater spirit is in here?” I muttered as I looked around the basement.

The little spirits nodded vigorously.

Using my magic to create a light source, I picked up a stack of old parchment and started flipping through the pages.

“Lady Witch, what does it say?” Teto asked me.

“Looks like a summary of the research that was conducted using the greater spirit’s powers. I have a pretty good idea of what they were trying to do,” I said.

Within those documents lay an outline of the whole life of the mage who’d built this place, and the direction of their studies.

“The mansion’s first owner was a court magician. It looks to me from what’s in here like they’d been tasked to find a way to weaponize the greater spirit’s powers.”

A lot of folklore in this part of the continent mentioned weapons and armor that had received the blessing of spirits. It seems that the mage who’d lived here was trying to find a way to extract the greater spirit’s powers and use them to artificially “bless” weapons and armor.

“This type of research is completely forbidden on the continent,” I said. “I’m not sure what to do with these... On one hand, it might be better to destroy them, but on the other, we might want to leave them as proof of what was done here.”

If a spirit was bled dry of its powers, it might go on a rampage and start attacking everything in sight. Moreover, if that spirit happened to be connected to a certain place, abducting it could cause the land itself to become unruly. Abusing spirits’ powers came at far too high a price for anyone in the known world to consider it anything but taboo.

“For now, let’s grab everything in case something goes awry,” I said.

Teto and I went around the basement and grabbed every document related to the mage’s experiments. There weren’t that many, so it didn’t take us long. When we were done, I shifted my focus to the back of the room.

“This is the seal, isn’t it?” I said, making my way toward a little pedestal with a gem resting atop it.

Looking around, I saw that it was surrounded by magic circles—on the floor, walls, and ceiling.

“It seems to work in the same way as the Jewel of Sealing I had made with my magic to capture the archdevil,” I noted. “But the mage had to layer two seals to make sure the greater spirit wouldn’t escape.”

The magic circles painted all around the pedestal were draining the greater spirit’s mana, which, in turn, kept it sealed. Said mana was also what kept the preservation spell on the mansion going, as well as what prevented the little spirits from interfering with the seal. Now I understood why the mansion hadn’t degraded in the slightest in over three hundred years, and also why the spirits hadn’t been able to rescue the greater spirit.

“It’s a lot duller than the one you made, though,
