Once Again to the Fairy Village 3
Year 7444, Month 5, Day 1
I folded my coat up and placed it on the side of the rock and then sat down again.
Well, the only ones that could be effective against the spell {Report} are {Anti-Magic Field} and {Dispel Magic} since they exist on the same level. It's impossible for {Globe of Invulnerability}. The only one you could probably manage with your power is {Anti-Magic Shell} I'm sure. Do you know {Anti-Magic Shell}?"
No idea.
"Judging off that face it seems you don't know. Then it's impossible. It's not like you'll die, you'll just become a bit more forgetful so it's not all that harmful right? It would be best if you just give up."
Like I'll let things end like that.
"Karl since you know that {Anti-Magic Shell} can you use it?"
"That's only obvious right? Something like magic I can't use..There's a ton of them. But, if it's on the level of {Anti-Magic Shell} then I can use it."
"Then, would you please use it on me once?"
"Ah, turn around."
Ah, yes-yes.
"And, what was it again? Getting here from the 3rd floor? Mila is sleeping right"That's why you can ask that once she wakes up, if you want you can even go wake her up right now. Rather than about the conversation of using {Anti-Magic Shell} on me to crush that {Report}."
"Ah, was that right? It can't be helped..Ah, wait just a moment. Go a little bit further over there. If I use it like this then the fish will..and I guess that area is fine? I'll say it for once as well but you don't have any magic tools or {Magical Weapons} right? If you have any on you those will break as well. It negates all magic after all. But, Al you sure are brave. It would be completely impossible for me. Not being able to use magic for the rest"Wait."
"Really now, what is it, won't the fish get burnt?"
"I won't be able to use magic again in my entire life?"
"That's only obvious, after all {Anti-Magic Shield} negates any magic. There's some risk but isn't using Al's magic skills fine as the catalyst? Since it's just right that you have all of them."
There's no way that'd be fine! This winged insect!
"After all let's stop. Is there no other method?"
"Other than the ones I just said and, there's none that are realistic. Ah, as long as you have enough mana you can crush the {Report} with {Anti-Magic Field} though. That's impossible for the most part though~"
"Hey~ I'm begging you, isn't there some other method to do it?"
"Hmn, since you went to the trouble of bringing fish again, I want to teach you but you know..I'm sure {Dispel Magic} is impossible..Ah, there is one method. But didn't I tell Al about it last time?"
Did I hear about it?
"Isn't it fine if you just have the person who cast the spell on you take it off? If it's that then you can do it right away, and nothing inconvenient at all should happen."
I knew that. I feel like I heard about it last time as well.
"I don't know who the other person is or where they are either."
"Come to think of it you did say something like that. And, isn't it about ready?"
Ah, yes-yes. We walked over to the stove and I lifted the meineiji up by it's tail. Just like last time Karl said "pirururu" to the surrounding fairies and they all swarmed it changing it into just bones. It was really in no time at all.
"Karl, this is meiseiva. It's a bit large right? It's delicious."
I pulled a new dried fish out of my bag and said to Karl and
"It's big right. And there's a lot of fat floating on the surface. It really looks delicious. Cook it quickly."
"Yeah, wait just a minute. Since it's large it will take a while longer to cook than the meineiji."
"Yeah that's fine, since it looks thick I'm sure it's worth eating as well. Meiseiva was it?"
Karl said while sitting on my lap and observing the dried fish on the stove.
"Yeah, it's meiseiva. And, returning to the conversation from just now but"
"N~ It's possible to investigate it using {Detect Magic User} but you know."
"Is that a spell?"
"That's right. For example if we were to say you have some kind of magic used on you. It's a magic that let's you detect who, where, and what they're doing right now. Though it requires a catalyst of something like a spherical gem that's as transparent as possible of this size (20 cm or so). Something like a crystal is best. The more transparent it is the better. Also, the bigger it is the better."
Ho~
"And, if you use {Detect Magic User} to specify the user then they will show up in the crystal you use as the catalyst. The other side won't be able to see you from their side. In that case it's fine if you just use {Telepathy} to talk to them. Though it might come to negotiating from there.
2. Void magic is the foundation of everything in spells.
4. It's necessary to think about and get an image of the void magic you plan to use and the elemental magic needed to be added to that.
6. The best way to do it is to watch someone who can already use it and confirm the effects usage of it.
Is what it came out to. Just, there was a hidden technique as well. That's incantations. The incantation makes use of the spell Fortune-Telling {Divination}, and when you're using that it's necessary imagine the spell you want to use in your head as you construct it. Since the duration of {Divination} itself is limited it seems it's difficult to use for things that are too advanced but even then I was told that it's important to start from learning to use {Divination}.
For example a spell I already know that creates light, it's {Light} but after using the spell {Divination} during the duration it lasts I try to imagine the effects and method to use {Light} in my head during that period and the incantation for kneading the mana on each process of it will float up in my head.
{Light} only uses void magic. The normal process for using the spell is to set the target in your sights and imagine a clump of mana there. During that occasion, if you point your finger or the palm of your hand towards it, it's even easier. It's thanks to that process that your hand or fingertip shines with blue light. If you master it you can do it without pointing your finger or hand but since it's the basics you start imagining while facing your hand. Here the incantation "tozu" appeared in my head.
Next up it enters the stage where it comes to how much mana you're concentrating into the clump. Normally you adjust the amount of brightness or the duration the light lasts here. If you don't think anything then you can skip past it. However, if you want to know the incantation you can't skip past it. Well, I'll think about it based on the standard. And then the incantations "borusu" and "nobun" appeared in my head.
And, we come to the image of light. In my case I use the image of a florescent light. It's because the first time I had mother teach me magic I imagined something like a round florescent light. You need to convert mana to light. Here the incantations "keirechi" and "shiraku floated into my head. Combining them all together and it comes out to the incantation, "tozu.borusu.nobun.keirechi.shiraku". In this case, you can create a white florescent-like light of about 40W for roughly 5 minutes and consume 1 MP with void magic.
This is an incantation that belongs only to me. They differ based on the person. I remembered back to the healer at Bakuddo village older woman Shaymi at this point and realized that what she was using was most likely not a real incantation but a pose to increase the feeling of virtue to it. Furthermore, if you reverse the spell for {Light}, (to "rizu.burumando.behezu.romirugorun.dyumaku") then you can use the reverse magic {Darkness}. Since both {Light} and {Darkness} were spells I could previously use it was easy for the incantations to float into my head.
If it was a spell I couldn't use (didn't know), then it wouldn't be as simple as this.
For example I didn't know about the spell Invisible Familiar {Safe Servant}. It's a lost spell that is part of the {Conjuration} and {Summoning} systems. This is a spell that lets you summon an invisible servant that can carry things that aren't very big of up to about 10kg.
It can't move over even a slight bit of difference in surface level and if it takes any damage at all it disappears but if you create it using earth magic, wind magic, and void magic, it lasts for about an hour. It seems it can even keep up with me if I start running in a sprint. Depending on how you use it, it seems it can clean tables, chairs, and things that aren't all that dirty on a simple level, so it somehow seems like a spell that could be useful in a plain sort of way as well.
Thanks to Karl's coaching I was somehow able to use it and simultaneously learn the incantations through {Divination}. Next up you chant the incantation and learn the mana efficient method of using it but it comes out to this super long incantation, "zu ritto.rebi.ka tagu nia. heru kon do. hei roki ki fu.shizu miffa do~n.baru.goru.kiru mu.kuri neru.besu ku.ji jami.heru to nin shu.kejumanmaru.churifu.devin.warisuto". It's necessary to recite that at a certain speed and furthermore within a fixed time. In the first place it's difficult to even remember. Next time I should bring along a note pad.
However, while making mistakes, and getting caught up countless times during reciting the incantation and I was able to properly understand how to use the mana for it. Once you can understand that much it's a lot easier. It's the same as riding a bicycle that I mentioned in the past. An assistant for supporting with it is necessary at the start but once you somehow are able to ride it after that it's fast. Rather the assistant or supporter start to get in the way. Learning spells is something like each one of them is trying to learn to ride a new bicycle. It's considerably difficult until you're able to learn it but once you learn it you can improve all on your own.
After using several spells as I learned the incantations and I was able to understand well why the systems of magic were split up. Even though they're different magics there's several common words between them that I noticed. According to Karl, realizing that seems to be the most basic of the basics.
"In other words dividing it up into 13 systems based on the usage of mana is for this reason?"
When I said that,
"There's no way it's that simple right. However that way of thinking itself isn't mistaken."
And said a bit sarcastically.
After that, I was able to get him to teach me one of my objectives that was the spells {Detect Magic User} and {Telepathy}. Since I don't have any catalyst for it, it's suspicious whether I was really succeeding with it but that can't be helped. I was able to confirm that I was properly learning {Telepathy} that didn't need a catalyst though.
It seems that you need a transparent gem in the shape of an orb with a diameter of at least 10 cm or so in order to use {Detect Magic User}. It's necessary to somehow get my hands on one of those. I thought about breaking the teleport crystal rod and using that but it's impossible because it's not at least 10 cm. Even when it comes to buying one, I'm sure they're not simply selling something that large. There's no other choice than to explore the dungeon and find one. If I can find a raw ore then rather than selling it I'll have a skilled artisan polish it for me and use that as a catalyst, there's no choice other than that. According to Karl he said that it's possible to find crystals in the dungeon of Baldukk after all.
It was already long since night at this point but the light shining down in the fairy village was the same afternoon as usual. Since I thought it was strange I tried asking Karl about it and,
"What's night? I don't know anything about that. After all I've been here since I was born."
and held his chest high while saying that. I went through quite a bit of trouble getting him to stay with me without going to sleep up to here. I brought along a total of 20 dried fish but there's no way they could eat that much. I ended up having to give him the portable stove magic tool, leftover dried fish, and threw in some magic stones, and the failed hard candy like thing I brought along just in case and I was finally able to get him to stick with me this far.
Furthermore, I tried asking him if there was any sort of spell to escape from abnormal mental conditions that increase fear like the Roar the Horned Bear uses that have been a worry of mine for many years. And then he told me there was a spell called {Afraid} and the reverse spell of that {Remove Afraid}, which are close to that but I can already use the spells {Afraid} and {Remove Afraid}.
Those are spells that trigger something like hysteria and recover from that so it's completely different from opposing terror. After all I guess the only method to deal with Roar is to be higher level than the opponent or have a reasonable amount of MP. I can't take it easy.
Incidentally, Karl's older sister Mila didn't wake up. I got him to promise to get her permission before I come next time in September and I was chased out of the fairy village as I left. I checked my clock magic tool after leaving and the date had changed.
