On his second day in Phi, Ryo woke up with the sunrise. He’d already thought of an idea on how to acquire fire, but in order to make it a reality he needed to better understand how to use his water magic.

Fake Michael had told him the laws of physics on Earth and Phi, as well as their molecular compositions, were almost identical. It was also true that while magic existed on Phi, it didn’t on Earth—although, apparently, Earth used to be a world of magic too.

On Earth, water’s molecular structure was H2O. So, in all likelihood, it was the same on Phi.

Ryo brought the bucket from the bathroom.

“Faucet.”

He filled it up with about ten centimeters of water, which he planned to freeze. In his mind, he focused on creating a distinct image of ice.

“Freeze!”

But it didn’t go well.

“Hmmm, this is really hard. I have to keep going though because I need to be able to make ice… Pretty sure I can use it as a weapon. I’d love to use my magic to create an ice spear or something.”

Maybe it wasn’t enough to just condense the water. It might help if he visualized the heat leaving the liquid at the same time as it became a solid. So, he went through a trial-and-error process as he tested out various techniques.

After countless challenging attempts, a thin film of ice finally appeared on the water’s surface. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t freeze any further than that. Then, he decided to concentrate on the H2O molecules themselves.

Two mechanics exist by which ice stores heat: the first involves particle vibrations while in the second, enthalpy, heat is stored by changing the strength of the bonds between water molecules.

The foundation of magic is imagination and a person’s imagination is limitless. One can imagine everything from the tiniest, microscopic grain in the known world to the vast, infinite reaches of space. Human imagination is all-powerful in the truest sense of the word.

People can’t see atoms and molecules with the naked eye, but…as long as they possess the necessary knowledge, they can imagine it!

All Ryo needed to do was bond H2O molecules together. Take the O from this molecule and connect it to the H on its neighbor. He focused on visualizing the phenomenon known as hydrogen bonding.

Ice comes in many forms. Aside from the common hexagonal crystal structure, it also existed as a cubic crystal in the natural world. Moreover, fifteen other types of ice have been discovered in high pressure environments—from beautiful lattices of hydrogen bonds filled with gaps to ice that appears crushed.

Many aspects of ice and water still remain a mystery to scientists on Earth. These substances are deeply intertwined in human life because mankind can’t live without them—yet even these ubiquitous phenomena are full of unsolved puzzles.

Ryo couldn’t help but think these thoughts now that he was a water magician. Even while he considered this, however, he needed to work on creating ice, so he focused on creating a neat lattice of water molecules joined together by hydrogen bonding.
