The Life of a Wizard

Chapter Three

Chapter Three

It has been a month since Feeh has started to teach me the principles of nature. Right now, I have just finished learning all of them, or what Feeh knows, and I am about to use what I learned to quickly use chantless magic. Feeh has just started to teach me.

“To use chantless magic, because you have learned all the principles of nature, you will only have to link a principle of nature to the type of magic you want to use. For example, when you want to use the water magic, Heavenly Rainfall, all you have to think about is all the moisture in your surroundings going into the air, then turning into water droplets. Then the water droplets have to form clouds. The clouds get too much water and let out all of it. Another example, to use the fire magic, Fireball, all you must think about is how you start a little flame, then feed it oxygen. After that, feed it gas. Imagine that the flame is growing, the more you feed it oxygen and gas. After it is large enough, you imagine it turning into a ball of fire. Then aim and shoot it at your target. Oh, and also, the entire process doesn't happen. Only the end product is shown to others. Like if you used Heavenly Rainfall, only the rainfall would be shown. Now, try using chantless magic.”

Yes! I can finally use chantless magic! I am going to use the Holy magic, Ultimate Cure. It can cure all different types of abnormalities. It doesn’t just cure humans and animals; it also cures the sickness of plants. There is a wilted flower near me, so I will cure it.

First, I imagine the flower getting sunlight. Then it gets nourishment from the soil. Last but not least, it gets rainfall. 

I have a weird feeling after the process is done. When I opened my eyes again, the plant that was wilted was now flourishing in its place.

I gave myself a silent fist bump, in congratulations. Then I look at Feeh, to see if I had done well. What I found was an amazed Feeh. 

Upon seeing his amazed expression, I asked, ”Why are you so amazed, Feeh?”

“I am amazed because I thought that it would take at least half a year for you to be able to actually correctly use the magic that I had taught you. Interesting. Very interesting. Let’s see what other type of magic you can use.” 

Upon hearing Feeh say that, I think of another magic I want to use. Let’s see………….. How about the earth magic Growth?

“I am going to use Growth,” I say to Feeh. 

“Okay.”

Growth is a special magic. Most earth type magic can only work on plants and animals, but this can work on humans as well. Growth is magic that allows you to accelerate the growth of your target. For example, you can use Growth on plants to make them grow faster than nature wants them to. You can use growth on a sapling, and by the time you're done casting it, the sapling will have already grown to become a tree. 

Hmmmm……. I can use it on that flower over there. The one that has just started growing. I close my eyes. First, I think of the plant doing photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is what it is called when a plant uses air and water as matter to create sugar. Sugar is the food for a plant, if you don’t know. However, that is not all that it has to do to create sugar. It also has to use the energy from sunlight to turn the water and air into sugar. Then the plant spreads the sugar into all its body parts. The plant then grows. Now, the plant should have finished growing.

I slowly open my eyes, and the sight that greets me is a fully grown plant. The young plant is nowhere to be seen. Who could predict that the plant that was just planted a while ago, would have grown this fast? Chantless magic is such a good thing.

Once again, when I look at Feeh, he has an amazed expression. Really, what is so amazing about chantless magic. It is so easy to do that even a pathetic wizard who stumbles down the stairs, Feeh, can do it. Sometimes Feeh really amazes me. In a bad way. Sigh.
