Ty noticed a shift to its layout immediately.

Alongside his skill listing, a new box had appeared, offering up the spells he was apparently now capable of casting. Having once played a mage in the game, he understood the mechanics of the cost and their cost and duration, the two separated by a forward slash.

“Illumination, levitation, minor dispel, and mystic knives,” he listed, reading spells available to him now. “That’s it?” he muttered.

While he hadn’t known what to expect, to see the simplistic spells he’d gained was kind of a letdown. They weren’t exactly game-changers, not with the horde champing at the bit and waiting to rain down on Altunn, but he had to admit they were better than nothing.

“Mystic knives is probably cool,” he told himself. “And having 20 Spell Points isn’t bad for a noob caster.”

He contemplated casting one of the spells right then to see how they worked, but he realized he pretty much already knew how they worked. All the gibberish Semul had plugged into his brain had not only opened his access to these four spells, but it had laid out the blueprint as to how to activate them on a subconscious level.

Realizing that, Ty decided he could wait to trigger one of them. He wasn’t really sure how quickly mana regenerated in the game, so he didn’t want to waste it playing around. Besides, he needed to get back to his friends to let them know he was okay. He’d been gone a lot longer than he intended. It was worth it, but he had no clue how the unsure NPCs would deal with him being AWOL for so long.

Ty went to say his goodbyes to Semul when a question popped into his head. “Hey! In the ga—” he started, then course-corrected before he invited questions he wasn’t ready to answer. “Uh, is there a way to peek one of my stats without having to bring up my entire sheet? I mean, it’s cool that it’s transparent and all, but it’s pretty awkward, you know?”

Semul looked up from the book, bleary-eyed, as if he’d completely forgotten Ty was there. He blinked a few times, and then his grin ignited again.

“You need only to say: Examine X, X being the stat or skill you wish to look at,” he answered.

Ty nodded. It was so strange how real Semul was, his attitude, the fact that he was sitting right there in front of Ty as a being of flesh and blood, and yet the contradictions of leveling and spell points and character sheets never once flustered the man. It was as if he, and the others, were two people trapped inside the same body and mind.

As he’d seen the start of separation between the two with his friends, Ty wondered if all of the NPCs in the game were capable of becoming self-aware to a degree. Would they eventually shake off the programming and become real people in their entirety?

Unsure of how he felt about that prospect, Ty waved goodbye to Semul and let him get back to the book.
