Chapter 22 - Studious
Finn sat cross-legged in the middle of the barren training room.
He could feel excitement bubbling in his chest as he opened the fire spellbook. The title of the book was missing, and only the authorâs first name was listed on the cover. That was a little odd. Finn had expected something that looked like a formal textbook. Perhaps the spellbooks were just copies and the original version had been damaged?
Or maybe Nefreet is trying to hide information, he thought.
Finnâs gaze focused on the authorâs name. âBilel.â A quick glance at the other three books indicated that the same mage had written all three tomes. That was another interesting note. Had the author mastered multiple affinities?
There was only one way to find out.
Finn flipped forward to the first few pages of the fire spellbook, his eyes skimming the contents as he devoured the book hungrily. He soon lost track of time, the world around him bleeding away until his entire universe was a mixture of arcane symbols and poorly scrawled notes. Once he was done with one book, he idly groped for another, losing himself in his studies.
When he looked up again, Finn noticed that hours had passed in-game. He snapped the last book shut. His eyes were distant as he stared blankly at a nearby wall, struggling to process the implications of what heâd read.
First things first.
âSpellbook,â Finn said aloud. The modâs UI immediately popped up in his vision.
Finnâs fingers began to twine through a new series of gestures, the images from the fire spellbook seemingly burned into his mindâs eye. It felt almost effortless to recall the requisite incantation, although he wasnât certain whether this was a product of his enhanced learning abilities in-game or the countless hours spent in training.
As he spoke, a ball of flame suddenly erupted in the air beside Finn, growing quickly until it was almost the size of a basketball. Finn soon completed the spell, his left hand automatically continuing the gestures needed to channel mana into the sphere as he turned to inspect it. The orb was a roiling mass of fire, and the heat was so intense that it caused the surrounding air to ripple and warp.
With a final gesture, Finn sent the Fireball hurtling into a nearby wall, the flames dissipating harmlessly against the warded stone. As soon as he completed the spell, a notification appeared in front of him.
