The Mirror Dimension

A year has passed since I have arrived here in Kamar-taj. Things had progressed nicely.

I was able to not only surpass my peers, but also grow in my knowledge by leaps and bounds, quickly leaping in the ranks of sorcerers to the point of Master.

My Energy constructs got way better. As have my combat abilities. There is nothing like being wailed on for a year straight to get you in tip top shape.

My abs have abs now. I can even be mistaken for a professional athlete. It turns out Chi makes you buff. Who knew ? I was considered fit before, but now I can say I am in peak physical condition.

My Chi training has come along nicely as well I can now hold my Chi in any body part I want and boost it.

I am still working on learning how to heal using Chi, but my reserves are still a hurdle.

I mean they have definitely grown, but not as much as I would like them.

When I focus my Chi on a specific body part it doesn't glow bright yellow like I thought it would it merely shimmers a bit. Also the color is light orange and not yellow.

I also finally learned how to access the mirror dimension and let me tell you it's broken as hell.

I was training with the Ancient One, but then our spar was getting a little destructive, she suddenly stops and says"I think it's time you learned how to enter the Mirror dimension. "

With an excited look on my face I run up to her and say" I have been waiting for this " she chuckles a bit at the twinkle in my eyes that come out every time the mirror dimension is mentioned.

The Ancient One" You really are excited about it. Tell me why do you want to learn it so bad? "

Doug" Why wouldn't I it's the perfect place to secertly train and nobody but a few can truly access it. "

The Ancient One" Is that the Only reason ? " she says with a teasing tone.

I nod my head like a chicken while trying to hide my true reasons I think she wouldn't like what I plan to do with it.

The Ancient One " Alright, listen carefully before you learn how to access the mirror dimension there are a few things that you have to know."

She starts explaining and says "The mirror dimension allows an advanced sorcerer to train more advanced and dangerous spells without adversely affecting the real world, keep an eye on threats without being noticed, and a prison for those without a sling ring.

The final usage is paramount that a prisoner is locked without a sling ring as it is the only means to escape.

However, the realm can be accessible without the use of the Sling Ring, though a sling ring is ultimately required to leave it.

The mirror dimension can be used in combat by a sorcerer with the knowledge and skill needed to perform it liberally by manifesting a gateway to it to absorb attacks and then sending the manifestation at the enemy to trap them at the mirror dimension, but these mirror dimension gateways can be destroyed when enough power is directed at them.

So although you can make portals without sling rings if you go in without one on you will be trapped in there forever. " she finishes in a grave tone.

I gulp nervously at the warning. We then spend the rest of the day with The Ancient One teaching me how to access the mirror dimension.

By the end of the lesson I have got the basics down. She then informs me that from now on we will have our spars inside the mirror dimension and we can be as destructive as we can .
