The Flow of Arcane: Myths Comes To Life

Magic's Preliminary Session

The surprising changes to Tyrik's physical form were off-putting for those who had watched it unfold. Even Drake has not seen such a case akin to Tyrik before in his long years. There was an unbalance of Tyrik's inner Arcane energy as if this was the result of a mixture of a genetic bloodline and a possible curse passed down for ages. 'Better make a note to look into this later... Maybe I can find something in the local library.' He thought to himself as Drake soon approached Tyrik with a spell in the works to help heal the young lad from his injuries. Which allowed Esmeralda to relax in relief that Drake was able to heal the dork far better than she could. Esmeralda was a powerful Dark Elf, but she was not an expert in healing magic. "You're lucky that I am quite the powerful Paladin warrior, Ty. This would be able to fix you swiftly. However, from what I have been informed. You have never had any prior connection to your mana until recently, correct?" The Paladin questioned as the spell finished healing Tyrik. Tyrik gave Drake a quick nod to answer his question, yet this puzzled him even more so. "You never had any connection to your Mana, yet possessed a large amount of it stored? Well, that would make things more complicated for you... Mastering your mana would not be easy for you if your mana doesn't end up killing you first." He announced as Drake was both frustrated and concerned about Tyrik's odd case regarding his Arcane Power.

"What do you mean?" Questioned the curious newbie to the world of magic and myths. "You're saying that my own magic can kill me?" Tyrik added on with grave concern about the complications of one's Inner Arcane Power.

"Well, Magic indeed comes with its forms of risk. It is true for anything in the natural world, even those beyond it." Esmeralda elaborated with a reassuring tone on these concerns. "Now what I am gonna explain would somewhat sound like The Eight Gates which Might Guy uses in the anime Naruto. But it is probably the best way for a nerd like yourself to understand." She announced as Tyrik perked up with keen interest and ready to take mental notes regarding the upcoming information.

"For one to begin mastering their Mana, one must understand the universal limiter for all beings. We call this The Kyler Seals, though how these affect the person can vary. Depending on their race and the amount of Arcane Power they have at their disposal. The Divine has the largest amount of Mana, allowing them to not have to resort to opening the eighth and final Kylver Seal." The Paladin explained while crossing his arms as he went on. Drake was grateful that Esmeralda remained to stay for this crash course to Mana and Arcane power.

"So, the more seals unlocked will ensure the magic to utilize greater levels of their own magic?" Tyrik questioned as recalled an episode of Death Battle that featured Might Guy against All-Might from My Hero Academia. "When does the backlash start to form?" He quickly followed up as Tyrik was quite concerned when the self-damage would start to kick in.

"That would be upon opening the Fourth Seal. A thing to note though, each Seal that is open multiplies the previous number with the Seal that was unlocked. For example; Seal Two is multiplied by three with the Third Seal unlocked. Seal Three is multiplied by four when Seal Fourth is unlocked and so forth. Now back to the comparison between Might Guy's Eight Gates and The Kylver Seals. Once the Eight Seal is unlocked, the user will die when all Mana is spent. Not just because all Mana is used up, but the physical destruction that is caused from Seal Four to Seal Eight. Unlike the previous Seals, the number Eight multiplies Seal Seven by ten. Yet as I have mentioned before, Seal Eight has basically ensured death. Though the only one who had countered that was the fucking Monkey King..." Drake declared with clear annoyance regarding Sun Wukong and his bullshit levels of immortality.

"Make sense that Wukong is literally the only one who got around that..." Announced a newcomer to the group, a cyclops adoring a craftsmen's attire which consisted of a tank top, stained blue jeans, heavy worker's boots, and a tool belt. He was a bit more chubby than Ricky, but it was debatable if the Cyclops was either fat or had more muscles than what his physique was portraying to the eyes. "By the way, I have the training arena all set up for the newbies as well as Esmeralda and Ricky." He announced as he placed his hammer back into its holster on the utility belt.
