Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4432

Chapter 4432: Unique Combination (Part 2)

"I too think Lith is right." Quylla replied. "Babies must have a high affinity for magic, or Ely, Ral, and Val couldn’t make so much progress so fast. Yet why did Manohar only warn us about Ral and Ely using the Rune Stores?

"What’s the difference between them and the other children of our home?"

"The unique combination of their mana and talent." Lith pinched his nose in frustration. "With their little mana and short attention span, a normal child using the Water Store would have just a better feeling for the water element and maybe soak the toy enough to make it float.

"As their core develops, the Water Store would conjure more water and work as a teaching tool that becomes more effective over time. By then the child is supposed to have enough mana for a prolonged play session and be smart enough to control their powers.

"To an Awakened child with a blue streak and the elemental affinity of an evolved human, however, the Water Store is not only a focus for their elemental powers, but also a weapon.

"The resonance between the runes woven in the toy and Elysia’s mana allows her to control the water element with only a fraction of the focus that she’d need without the Water Store. In a little over ten minutes, she mustered enough mana to hurt someone."

"What about the other Rune Stores?" Quylla said. "Do you think Ely would be able to combine their effects and obtain multi-elemental spells if she used them together?"

"Good gods!" Kamila became as pale as a ghost. "That’s not something I want to find out. Elina, I think that the Rune Stores will do wonders for Surin, but they are too dangerous for my children.

"I don’t want to think about what might happen if Ely and Ral mistake the Rune Stores for toys and use them to squabble against each other. Please, make sure to always put them away before every play date."

"You have my word." Elina nodded. "I swear to the gods that if Surin reaches anywhere near that level of mastery, she won’t see the Rune Stores again until she’s old enough to receive Lith’s lesson."

"I’m going to ask Dhiral for a couple of sets of Rune Stores for my twins, but I promise I’ll be careful as well, Kami." Quylla said. "Orikan and Jirya are not Awakened, but they are also evolved humans.

"I’ll let them play with the Rune Stores only under strict supervision and take them away the moment the twins try some funny business."

"Which probably means after five minutes." Morok snorted. "Elysia is a sweet kid who only wants to have fun with her friends, whereas Orikan and Jyria are the embodiment of competitive spirit.

"I can already see them work like crazy to one-up each other and end up shooting elemental beams like rice at a wedding."

"If that happens, the Rune Stores will have served their purpose, and we’ll put them away forever." Quylla replied.

"Unless those two little imps don’t join their forces and find a way to make Rune Stores out of elemental energy." Morok conjured replicas of the toys with the help of his wings and eyes. "What then?"

"I’ve changed my mind." Quylla swallowed hard. "I’ll ask Manohar the Second if he thinks the twins can safely use the Rune Stores and trust his judgment. He was spot on about Elysia."

"This is the end of Mogar." Solus sighed. "Hearing the name ’Manohar’ and ’trust his judgment’ in the same phrase can only be an ill omen."
