Damn! That Hurt!

Surely you must be confused by this sudden thought of why I am saying this, but what had happened was that I had stuck my finger into the lock of the book that I had gained from the shop.

The old man had tried to warn me from putting my finger in the lock, but since my curiosity was screaming out to me, I decided not to listen. It was a strong spark of energy that probably nearly destroyed my nerve, it was a great pain, but now I feel like I am a bit immune to lightning, as the normal Sphial electric energy that I tried to copy was not the same when I was using Sphial as I had returned to the Inns room.

Sapphire was literally crying since I had not come back for quite a while( I came back when the sun was coming out), and the lady was kinda pissed since she was making a ruckus at the Inn, so I had double the work to do since it was disturbing all the other customers During their sleep. I was not happy with that. And the book that I had stolen was kept hidden under the wooden plank with the green orb that I also had with me when I had first came here.

So my entire day was all about work and nearly nothing to eat, but since I decided to starve myself, I was starting to have an iron stomach. All in all these days were just plain work and nothing to bother about, with my whole week doing work I was starting to get better at maintaining my stamina with all the fast cloth scrubbing, cleaning, polishing, dusting, and washing plates and other things, and recently there was a stable that had just opened nearby so now I had to also watch the horses outside and clean out horse shit from the streets, its just labour and more work.

When I had finished my daily quota with work, the lady was kind enough to give me a good break for all the work she had me do, and since I am most of the time occupied, Sapphire has grown to like sleeping in areas she feels most comfortable in, so I took advantage of it.

It has been a while since I have not used Sphial because of all the work and many other things that I have been busy with, (Books and old men and stuff)but I learned of a way to make time for practising Sphial magic. I have become more able to cast magic more frequently since the last few days while mental meditation has been helping me maintain my energy, and now I can almost do mental meditation subconsciously, like my body has now adapted to me absorbing great amounts of Sphial timely.

Although I barely know the Old man, he has also given me lectures about how to use Sphial since I asked him whenever I see him near his window.

I've also learned that was wrong about the Imagination thing, Now I take it that imagination takes a small role into play with Sphial, but to create something, I must either have great knowledge of its uses, like how it is used or how it feels, and since that is what it seems, I can now create Ice or hardened Stone with a small flick of my finger.

As the idea comes with the mixture of knowledge its kinda like the stats from a video game, the more intellect one has, the more power he can control or something like that.

The practical things that I have been doing with this type of magic now lets me have the ability to see things normally others don't, I'm not sure why or how, but I can feel things as well, its like a feeling that helps me detect body heat, or see the air flow. Its weird, but I only start feeling or seeing this when I begin using Sphial in a great amount. I believe this is my affinity with the elements that I have been practising with.

Now onto many other things.

My days are really boring so there is not much to say, but there are some things going on at the kingdom. I had seen some wanted posts near the Inn, and I have also seen many others pickpocket. I guess that there is not much security within the walls of this city itself, but I believe there are people watching me.
