First, he traced the foundational rune: [Fire]. It blossomed smoothly beneath his mental touch, instantly resonating with the larger Affinity Rune and sending a ripple of warmth throughout his Sea of Consciousness.
The sensation was gentle, pleasant, yet vividly powerful—like holding a tiny star within his grasp.
Next came [Ignite]. Orion focused intently, feeling the rune spark gently into existence beside [Fire]. The combination created a tiny flare of elemental resonance, an unmistakable sign of a connection.
Already, he felt mana flowing naturally between the runes, weaving seamlessly together.
Finally, he carefully etched the third primary rune—[Burst]—with the utmost precision. This rune stabilized the previously formed connection, balancing the latent power.
The moment [Burst] settled into place, the trio of runes pulsed gently with a golden-red glow, synchronizing in perfect harmony.
'So far, so good,' Orion thought, relief and quiet satisfaction filling his heart.
[Beautifully done, Master! Now just the circuits and inscriptions left!]
Orion nodded mentally, exhaling gently as he turned his focus toward the Mana Circuit Framework. He visualized the two concentric loops clearly, meticulously forming each curve and connection, ensuring stable and smooth pathways for his mana.
Each circuit formed quietly, encircling the runes like delicate rings of molten gold. Orion felt the mana within his Sea of Consciousness instinctively flow through these circuits, verifying their stability and efficiency. Just as he finished forming the mana circuits, the spell changed as the Runes drifted in place.
The [Fire] Rune stood at the center as Ignite and Burst circled around it with mana circuits going around in circles among the three runes.
The final step—the Runic Inscriptions—required even greater delicacy. Carefully, Orion etched precise glyphs around the formation, dictating the spell's precise parameters:
-Range: 20 meters.
-Explosion Radius: 1.5 meters.
-Trigger: Impact-based.
-Mana Cost: Minimal.
He wrote down their required inscriptions to make the details finer as the inscription shimmered gently, clearly defined and aligned, reinforcing the stability and functionality of the spell formation.
When Orion finally finished, a subtle pulse rippled outward from the completed spell structure, resonating harmoniously with his Affinity Rune.
For a moment, Orion's consciousness paused, absorbing the profound sensation of completion of the spell.
The Fireball spell hovered gracefully, stable and harmonious, beside his Affinity Rune, each rune balanced perfectly.
'Finally… my first spell in this world.' An overwhelming sense of achievement flooded him, feeling the first true step that he had taken into the complex world of spellcraft.
He opened his eyes slowly, returning to the quiet room of his. A proud, satisfied smile formed on his face.
[I knew you could do it, Master! Your first spell, successfully formed inside your Sea of Consciousness! You're amazing! (≧▽≦)]
'Haha, it was nothing impressive. After that Affinity Rune, this is much more manageable,' he said with a chuckle.
[But we can't diminish your talent here, Master! You learned the new rune, spell, and even engraved it in your SoC. Not only talent but also hard work is necessary for doing all this. (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ]
Orion softly laughed and turned back to look at the spellbook, 'Hmm, should I learn more spells or sleep now? It's quite late and I'm tired as well.'
[Sleep!! You have already done more than enough for the day. You should rest now and test your spell tomorrow before trying to form new spells. (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)]
He agreed with her and stood up before stretching his body. "Mmm…"
'How many hours has it been since I was learning?' He raised an eye, looking at the darkened sky outside.
