Chapter 291: Just On The Edge
"Come on, imagine a specific shape in your mind, a sphere, half a sphere, a cube, a triangle, whatever is simpler for you to visualise, you begin by forming the edge of it, it needs to be the strongest portion of your construct, then from there, you begin to convert all of the mana within into your own, once that is done, try to maintain it" standing a distance away, Rosemary repeated these instructions over and over again, in a room underground, crystals of mana purifying the darkness element trying to take over the natural energy floating in the air.
To provide a most suitable environment for magical training, the darkness might prove to be a good aid when training outer manipulation, but for something so complex as what Rosemary was trying to teach Helena, it was best to have a neutral environment.
Before, the volcano witch would have never considered teaching the greatest heights of spellcasting and magic to one of her students, the greatly specifics subsections of magic as well, learning about them was important, but mastering all was but a pipe dream for the great majority.
And for the likes of zone, it was an incredibly difficult technique to pull off, requiring exceptional control, to even manifest, and even more to maintain, all of those that had wished to learn this exceptional ability from Rosemary had ultimately failed, manifest a zone for less than a second at most, which was utterly useless and only served to knock oneself out from the strain without any of the benefits.@@@@
And that was the most basic, a real zone needed to have a specific spell woven into its midst to be considered the true thing, but trying to do it in one go was only guarranting failure, first, one needed to be the skeleton of the technique working and manage to maintain it.
The likes of Rosemary, Unacunerra or King Nitok were not to be taken as the norm, capable of casting their zones on a whim, move about within and cast complex spells without any issue, change the central spell of their zone at any moment as well.
This was not how it would go for the average user, as Helena was doing right now, standing perfectly still, carefully circulating her mana as she took control of the surroundings, starting by the edges of her formation, she was stuck once again.
Not knowing what shape her zone should have, Helena was a little prodigy of magic, but not one with exceptional advantages, just a regular mage with a particularly good grasp of mana and its intricacies, a pyramid was strong and robust, but it was not exactly suitable for her wind element.
"Did- Did it work?" she asked. Explore more at novelhall.Côm
"You formed the shape and inside, you just need to maintain it for a while, and the regular boons should come naturally, can you sense everywhere inside this simple zone already or not?" Rosemary was all smiles, that zone, as useless and crude as it currently was, it was not crumbling like a castle of cards in an earthquake as she had seen so many times.
Up until today, she had only seen failures, and outstanding zones, no inbetween.
Of course, it could not hold a candle to hers or that of the still mysterious earthen mage who was probably an undead, but that did not matter, Helena was to use it against those who could not replicate with their own zones, in that case, even one that was rickety would be seen as an unstoppable force.
Of course, for that the young woman would have to learn her zone in full and infuse it with a spell, for her, she would have to train with each and every spell she would want to use individually, that was to say that only one or two could be learned with any form of efficiency.
With how uncertain things were, Rosemary would recommend to focus on a single one, a spell she knew perfectly.
"Alright, keep going! Maintain it for as long as you can, keep at this level without wavering!"
"If you keep at it like that, you’ll be a bonafide zone user in no time!" she exaggerated a bit, but Helena was too focused to question it.
