This spell took only a half hour to make but in the end, what I ended up creating was a whole new spell that took concepts from the current body buffing spells that I knew of. I even added a little something extra as a safety precaution. "Here you go. I call it Divine Tempest."
"You are not going to try it out yourself?" Sophie asked as he looked at me. I chuckled and shook my head. "Nope, you should test this one out yourself. Also, before you cast it, cut your hand."
"Huh?"Sophie looked at me with a confused expression, but I just motioned for her to do as I said. She reluctantly nodded, sliced her hand, and began casting the spell. The spell itself was actually quite simple, but it took a toll on the body, and only those used to speed would be able to handle it. "Divine Tempest!"
Sophie's body glowed with golden light, and at the same time, the cut on her hand instantly healed. Shocked as she was, she struck out with her sword in less than a second, she had already struck out over a thousand times. "This!?"
"Hehe… It is tough on the body, but it should be perfect for when you need to deal a lot of damage quickly. The healing effect is nothing more than minor heal that keeps recasting. I used minor heal to keep mana cost low. It should take some of the burned off the body and allow for longer stretches of use. The speed is the thing you will really need to get used to. Also…. And this is the most important part. It can stack with all the other spells increasing your damage output to an insane amount." I explained. When I first started creating the spell, I ran into an issue that caused too much strain on the body when using the acceleration portion of the spell on the arms only, which was why I added in the minor heal that would keep healing the body to reduce the strain.
"Yeah, I can feel a bit of strain, but it is nothing to worry about. This…. This is just simply amazing. Faith, thank you so much!" Sophie uncharacteristically threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged her back. She is so fluffy. However, I could feel a set of eyes staring daggers at me. I did not even need to look up to see who it was.
Now I just had Sally and Sei left to deal with. I already had a good idea of what to do for Sally. Basically a rewrite of the spell I made for Sophie, but this one would be more focused on strength and movement speed, with strength taking up the main portion of the spell. As for Sei… "Sei, any ideas?"
"To be honest, I am not sure. I have always worked on the skills taught to me in the black knights. So I have never really thought about using other spells." Sei replied. Sei was a magic knight who was both good at sword and magic. Her specialty is barrier magic which is hard to work with in a sense.
I scratched my head and thought of the spell I made of Grace and figured if it was just a barrier, then maybe it would come in helpful, but a larger barrier works just as good. "Hmm… What if we used your skills with barriers to wrap your sword in one that is very thin and rotates? It should be able to slice through pretty much everything."
"A spell that is imbued on my sword…." I watched as Sei fell into thought. "If it rotates in a manner at the very edge of the blade, then if we were to make the barrier slightly jagged….. It should really cut through a lot…. Yes, let's do that!"
"Alright." I went right to work. As the spell was, in fact, quite simple, I was done in a short time. The only hard part was writing the equation for the barrier's shape to be more like saw blade teeth. But I found that because it was small and paper-thin, I was able to make the barrier even stronger by allowing a denser infusion of mana.
After I was done with Sei, I worked on Sally's spell, which was basically just restructuring the one from Sophie to fit her. I also made it so she could increase or decrease the strength amount as much as she wanted. I just told her to test it out so she would not go over her own limit.
With that all said and done, not only did I gain a lot of new spells, but so did everyone else. But I still needed to make one more spell that was something that only I could use. "What are you making now?" Steven came up to me and asked.
"A spell that only I can use." I replied while scratching on the stone ground with a rock. I was in full concentration mode. The spell I had in mind would allow the team to never have to worry about mana while we venture deeper into the dungeon. It will be very helpful for boss fights. Once I got a decent looking runic equation written, I stood up and walked over to Grace. "Grace, I want you to keep casting spells on me."
"Huh? Okay, Master." Grace looked at me confused but began casting high heal on me. My eyes glowed as I spoke out: "Mana Tethering!"
As I watched as Grace's mana bar kept going down and then back up with each cast. I couldn't help but smile. "Alright, start casting the new spell I made for you. Just keep casting it."
"Okay!' Grace seemed to be startled that her mana was not being drained at all. Fifty minutes later, she looked at me in shock. "Master, this is!?"
"I call it mana tethering. I basically connect a line of mana to you and replenish your mana with my own." I explained. "I can connect as many people as I want to the tether effectively giving everyone unlimited mana."
