Master Of None

Chapter 380: 380. Crystal Ball

”Do you have the crystal crafting skill?” Walker asked the question that every single mage listening wanted to know. A few of the earth mages were smiling smugly which practically gave the answer away. But most of them would not believe it until the words left the boyʼs mouth.

”Yes, it was one of the first skills I got. I think itʼs because I was trying to fix the scrying crystal which helped me unlock my system.” Walker released the two skills he had created as soon as he heard the confirmation from the crystal mage.

Walker grabbed the boysʼ shoulders and looked at him in the eyes, ”You are going to teach me to craft with crystals.” The crystal mage had no choice but to agree.

”Alright, someone go get some crystals from the storage room. We should still have some left over from those crystal training dummies for the light mages to practice their skills on.” Alma had made it a point to keep up on what the mages were studying in general. This helped her better understand the value and goals of mages in the city.

”Perfect, we would have had to go all the way to the prisons for some crystals left over from the last expansion.” The dark elemental mage was worried that they wouldnʼt be able to proceed.

”The real question is how fast do you think you can teach crystal crafting?” The light elemental mage was very invested in this study and could see the fusion possibility even with singular elements. If they could create a crystal that housed their elemental mana effects from the light blade skill they might be able to apply it to one use weapons.

”Depends on what shape sir hero would like to make the resting item to be. If he wants it to be an orb in the resting form it will be simple. If he wants a pole it could take a while, and if he wants something ornate it might take weeks or years.” Walker was thinking speed would be the best bet for this.

”I think we should make orbs. If I need something ornate I can do it another time when I am free. The poll sounds good but I can make one of those while I travel as long as I have natural crystals. So I choose the orb shape. It should be the easiest to make anyways.” Walkerʼs choice made the other mages happy, They too wanted to see the fruits of the experiment today.

”Then we will make a crystal orb, or more commonly named; a crystal ball. But we will leave the inside hollow for the condensed manas to rotate in. I think you should have the different elemental manas make a circle and chase each other to reduce the stress when we make and ass them to the crystal ball.”

”That makes sense. They will be too busy trying to catch each other than trying to escape the area they are trapped in.” Walker couldnʼt agree more.

Alma and a few mages returned from a far off room at the opposite end of the training area. They were carrying three large crystal training dummies. One was cracked and the other was in rough shape. The third was perfect and Walker could tell it had never been used before.

”Here we are. This one should be good for a small item. This should be good for a medium sized item and this one is just extra, but I have a feeling you want all three.” Alma had already started to catch on to the fact that Walker was always eager to gather new materials or gear.

”You are starting to know me too much, I hope Gil didnʼt fill you in on my weaknesses.” Alma blushed at the mention of Gil since she had indeed talked with her about the party. However, she had only learned common sense things, like how Walker would easily become lost in thought without someone to pull him to reality.

”Do I owe you anything? I donʼt want to take without repaying you all. It wouldnʼt be fair.” The mages all looked at him with appreciation. They knew that a true mage would be respectful even in the heat of experiments with magic.

”Those are the property of us light mages. You can have all of them and the remaining crafted gear if you are able to succeed in your experiments. I want to see the results.” This was great news to Walker who was more excited to try and learn another new skill. The process of getting the fusion of the two elemental spells was becoming more and more involved by the moment.

”Of course I will do just that. I will have this skill learned as fast as I can. Then I will start to make the fusion skill using this as a base. Earth magic is really something. I didnʼt even think of using crystals at first.”

”I know it is hard for some people to understand that the crystals in the ground are really part of the earth. They are all condensed earth elemental mana or other pieces of the earth. Very similar to ores in a mine but smoother.” The crystal mage laughed at his joke a little.

Walker was starting to see that shaping a crystal would be harder than regular earth. The crystals he had been shown were very dense and contained a lot of perfect flat surfaces. The reason he knew things would be harder to shape the crystal was his feeling of the earthʼs elemental mana in the crystal itself.

It was very solid and unforgiving, if Walker tried to force it he knew that he would end up shattering the crystal instead of changing the shape.

ʼWe have crystals now. Here are a spare set of tools for you to use. We can get started.” Walker took the tools from the crystal mage and looked at the cracked dummy he was going to start with.
