I sighed and focused my attention on some boulders. I focused my attention on one and closed my eyes, sensing and envisioning my mana in front of me while everything else remained black.
The memory of the mage creating those fire arrows came to mind. I could perfectly recollect the process as how her mana had taken shape and flickered into existence on the physical plane. I began handling the mana, gathering and condensing it into an elongated shape. I slowly and carefully formed arrow similar to that fire arrow with the exception of it being pure mana converted into magic.
[Ding~ Congratulations! You made. . .an arrow of mana? Or magic? You condensed mana into pure magic, so. . . Would you like to name this new skill?]
I smiled as I opened my eyes, seeing the arrow of mana float in front of me.
"Let's keep it simple and call it. . .Magic Arrow?"
[Ding~ Congratulations! You created the [Magic Arrow (AC)] Lv 1!]
"So cool Mastah~!" Eiko shouted excitedly. I nodded in response and focused my attention on the floating magic arrow.
Let's spin it for extra piercing power!
This time I didn't close my eyes and manipulated the magic arrow into spinning. It spun slowly at first, but as time shortly progressed, It spun fast enough to generate its own wind.
[Ding~ Congratulations! You. . .you. . . I'll just call it the spinning magic arrow. . . *Cough, cough* You created the [Spinning Magic Arrow (AC)] Lv 1!]
Alright, now to--
[Stop! STOP!]
Eh? What the. . .
[If you're going to keep creating your own magic then at least make it your own. Ya' know, name it! I mean, this was something I didn't expect. I'd thought you fail miserably, but. . .damn you made magic.]
I stood there slack-jawed. The system was right! I don't have any affinities, so I should just create my own magic! I have the Perk: [Mana Enthusiast] and [Mana Affinity (UPA)], I'm literally drawing in, restoring, and handling mana like I'm breathing. Second nature! I just need to make my own custom spells! No need for me to be like the other followers. Yeah fuck those guys! I'm independent!
Though I still don't understand how making an arrow of mana qualifies for new magic though. Especially a spinning one. . . It's literally a magic arrow that spins.
[That's because most magicians these days prefer to do things by the book. Those who tried creating their own original magic before had either died or severely damaged their arcanic-vascular system.]
People died!? Eh? What's this about an arcanic-vascular system? Sound like you made it up.
[Much like a cardiovascular system, it helps produce and flow the mana in one's body, and give the person the ability to use magic. Magicians are those, not born with it, but rather have a functioning one. If anything, it has to do with genes, usually recessive. That's why there's less magicians than non-magicians.]
