Mana type – Spirit

Inherent Ability – Transcend

“Bloody hell,” said Tempo, “You don’t even have enough mana for the spell.”

“I had enough to use my blessing to enrich the mana,” said Lucas.

“How much did you channel?” asked Tempo.

“I’m not sure I had to calculate it on the fly, around 520,” said Lucas.

“Be careful young man,” said Tempo, “Your mana limit is there for a reason. You channel beyond that limit and it causes damage. Irreparable damage.”

“I’m aware of the risks,” said Lucas, “It will slow my mana regeneration rate.”

“Not just slow,” warned Tempo, “It will stop. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but if you keep pushing past your limit, you will stop regenerating mana all together.”

The warning was not the first time he’d heard it, almost every single teacher he ever had gave some sort of speech about how to properly use mana. Heck the whole point of calculating mana cost was to make sure you do not push past your limits. Speeches and warnings were great but walking inside the lines does not get you ahead. All you get by following the rules is the same thing as everyone else.

Pushing boundaries was how he rose above; it was how he got results where his peers were fumbling around like children in the dark. Teacher after teacher had told him the same damn thing and time after time, he nodded like it was some sage wisdom. He always kept his mouth shut but for some reason this time he couldn’t.

Maybe it was the headache, or the stress of this morning. Maybe it was because he felt like he could trust Tempo. Or maybe it was just because he didn’t want to hold it in one more time.

“We got Val’n Dare to speak with us didn’t we,” said Lucas.

“But at what cost,” said Tempo.

“You didn’t pay it,” said Lucas, “so if you can’t humble yourself and say thank you then keep your fucking mouth shut.”

As soon as he said it, he regretted it. Tempo was concerned for him and all Lucas did is yell at him in return. Tempo did not deserve that.

What made it was that Tempo didn’t even get mad, all he did is put his hand on Lucas’s shoulder and look him in the eyes, “It was irresponsible of me to drag you into this. I never should have put you in that position, but you need to take care of yourself.”

“I’m fine,” said Lucas then he brushed Tempo’s arm away.

“Promise me you will not push past your mana limit again,” said Tempo.

“Okay,” said Lucas, “I’ll be more careful.”

Tempo didn’t look convinced but he backed off, “How’s your head?”

“Better,” said Lucas.

“Then let’s go, or we’ll be late,” said Tempo.
