Chapter 4378: First Magic Rune (Part 2)

"He’s right." Faluel pondered. "Tier zero gravity magic does exist. Everyone in the Awakened community knows how to use it. Yet there is something that doesn’t add up. I’ve seen, learned, and practiced tiers four and five gravity magic myself.

"If dimensional magic’s lower tiers are gravity magic, then how can both disciplines have their own set of higher tiers?"

"The same way light magic does." Tezka replied. "In its basic form, light magic is about healing. Once it’s developed past tier three, you have two possible outcomes. Either you keep developing the healing side and achieve Body Sculpting, or you discover the offensive side and learn Light Mastery.

"Both disciplines employ the same element, but they work in two completely different ways. Gravity magic is our equivalent of healing magic, something that any mage can do as long as they possess the talent for it.

"Dimensional magic, instead, is akin to Light Mastery, an extreme application of its original discipline. Instead of conjuring hard-light constructs, however, it exerts enough strength to bend space and force the coordinates of two distant points to overlap.

"It’s the reason dimensional and gravity magic are two sides of the same coin. They share the same root, but develop in different directions."

Friya and Faluel pondered his words for a while, his answer raising many more questions.

"If gravity magic is the ’easy’ branch, then how come very few people can use it whereas almost everyone can learn dimensional magic with enough time and effort?" Faluel asked.

"Because I could never figure out Eternity Magic and only worked to simplify Infinity Magic." Tezka said with the first proud smile the two women had ever seen on his snout. "Think about Light Mastery.

"From time to time there has always been a genius like Manohar who learned it by himself. The problem is that most of them kept it a secret or taught Light Mastery only to the members of their bloodline, as Wyverns and Griffons do.

"To make matters worse, geniuses are usually terrible teachers. Everything is obvious and comes natural to them, so they can’t relate to the struggles of those who lack their innate talent.

"A genius can leap from step 1 to 4 of a discipline without the need to understand 2 and 3. A normal person needs to master all steps, while the less talented need a series of exercises that work as step 2.1, 2.2, and so on, or they’ll never reach step 3."

Suddenly Friya understood why Selia had taken months to complete the Loop spell that Friya had learned hours after mastering the proper multicasting technique.

"Light Mastery never spread because nobody bothered to simplify it for everyone, and the clans who know it don’t share it. Moreover, the Griffon and the Wyvern way to practice Light Mastery is so difficult that only those of sufficient talent among their members can learn it.

"Nelia tried to teach me, but emitting and controlling that much light element takes me too much effort. I could have learned it, but never mastered it as long as my cores are faulty.

"If the legends about Dawn are true, instead, she did for Light Mastery what I did for dimensional magic. She dumbed it down enough for children to learn it."

"How does one do that?" Friya asked.

"I don’t know about Dawn, but this is what I did." Tezka replied. "First, I taught dimensional magic to the most talented members of my clan, and then tasked them to teach it to those slightly less talented than them.

’Dawn must have done the same.’ Friya recalled everything she knew about the Rezar clan and how the Horseman had used them as her unwitting test subjects. ’As a prisoner, she couldn’t practice light magic, so she developed a way to teach it to the Rezar.

’Then, once she escaped, she exterminated Nalrond’s clan because she knew that if one of them survived, she would have lost the exclusive on her best weapon.’
