Chapter 12

Siege Study

The next few days fell into a lock-step pattern. Several times a day, I'd go to the medical area near the wall. There I would heal the injured from probing attacks from the lightning-drakes, usually an arrow wound or lucky shot with a spell before I went back to my room. With Markunin or Mer-Markeer stationed outside my door, my party was allowed to roam around the fort now, which I appreciated. I was also allowed to have one visitor at a time, and each of the members of my party would drop by regularly. This basically meant I had a more bustling social life than I ever did back on Earth. During long stretches of time I often forgot my situation, and it felt downright pleasant. After all, I had a lot of work to do.

Much of it was trying to finish learning the Wall of Dry spell, which took me over a week. Apparently, the tail end of learning a spell was the hardest part, and the one that didn’t help being taught, as much as Mitera tried.

“I see that your glyphs are perfect,” she said early on. “But do you sense the Arcana flow through each glyph?”

“No,” I admitted. “I can feel sometimes it gets interrupted when something is clearly wrong, but mostly it just fades away as it goes.”

“Ah,” she said, tail twitching slightly. “Then you're on the right track. You need to just deepen the flow, like how water on soil needs time to form a river.” I found the metaphor strangely accurate to how it felt, even if my engineer-brain rebelled at the idea, since if glyphs were functions to run the code of the spell, so that sort of thing shouldn't matter. But I just buckled down and kept trying, Mitera most often at my side between lunch and sunset. She didn't need to help me much anymore. Apparently, she didn't have much to do around the fort, so she could spend her time with me reading a book that described bridging variants for her Water Blast spell. I wasn't used to company when studying or working, but I liked her quiet reassurance. She had a faint smell of fresh moisture that I felt also as a faint resonance in her Mana as well.

More successfully, in the second week after returning, I figured out glyph bridging and was able to find a way to cast Single Heal the First much faster. Instead of taking ten seconds if I did it optimally and with full concentration, it now took barely two, which felt like a huge improvement to the spell that would often be needed in a hurry. The downside to this variant was that the MP cost raised from 50MP to 75MP, but given my large MP pool, that seemed like a good tradeoff. Not only that, but that accomplishment finished another Domain Interface quest, a very pleasant surprise.

Quest Completed!
