Ilea was quite proud of the progress. Especially the third tier Void Magic Resistance gave her a little confidence that she had lost when fighting the Ascended. She didnt know what exactly would happen if the whole space around her was removed. If she was transported somewhere, able to use her third tier Blink to get back, or if she would simply cease to exist. Her precognition hadnt been clear in the heat of the moment. The benefits she had gotten through the various second tier advancements were situational and generally quite minor. Still, they added up. The main benefits next to her Void Magic Resistance were the bonuses provided by Avatar of Ash. It had reached a point where her resilience was increased by 485% and her ash density by a staggering 185%. All that just from gaining and leveling resistances, which on their own already provided ample bonuses. Ilea assumed a part of why she could fight monsters like the Specters was because general skills didnt really weigh in on level differences. She could very well be level one hundred with the same amount of resistances, entirely decimating her weight class and creatures far above her perceived level. The Fae had mentioned that monsters at a certain level had abilities and characteristics that offset bonuses like the ones she had but Ilea questioned how far that went. Her healing and mana intrusion combination surely wasnt solely responsible for her easy time against higher leveled beings. She sipped on her ale and thought about what resistances she should get to the third tier. No new possibilities had cropped up but she had gained three additional points. Either way, she definitely wanted to keep a few points for emergencies. Another thing she quickly did was collapsing her general skills within her status. Even the non resistance types were getting numerous. Unspent statpoints: 0 Unspent 3rd tier skill points [The Azarinth Sentinel]: 0 Unspent 3rd tier skill points [Kin of Ash]: 0 Unspent 3rd tier General skill points [1713 Total skill levels]: 5 Class 1: The Azarinth Sentinel lvl 348 - Active: Absolute Destruction 3rd lvl 23 - Active: Sentinel Reconstruction 3rd lvl 30 - Active: Azarinth Awakening 3rd lvl 30 - Active: Blink 3rd lvl 27 - Active: Sentinel Sphere 3rd lvl 25 - Passive: Sentinel Core 3rd lvl 30 - Passive: Azarinth Fighting 3rd lvl 30 - Passive: Sentinel Huntress 3rd lvl 8 - Passive: Azarinth Perception 3rd lvl 23 - Passive: Azarinth Reversal 3rd lvl 19 Class 2: Kin of Ash lvl 348 - Active: Armor of Ash 3rd lvl 30 - Active: Aspect of Ash 3rd lvl 30 - Active: True Ash Creation 3rd lvl 30 - Active: Heart of Cinder 3rd lvl 19 - Active: Storm of Cinders 3rd lvl 17 - Passive: Ash and Ember Unity 3rd lvl 27 - Passive: Ashen Wings 3rd lvl 24 - Passive: Eyes of Ash 3rd lvl 17 - Passive: Avatar of Ash 3rd lvl 30 - Passive: Keeper of Ash 3rd lvl 27 General Skills: Hidden A little better, still too much though, she thought with a smile. It felt liberating not seeing the massive list anymore. She wondered if she would really get a third class upon reaching three fifty. It was possible all the speculation and waiting had been for nothing. She chuckled and took another sip. That would fit the Fae, at least the part of the collective I know. Her options for third tier advancements were Blood Manipulation, Corrosion, Lava Magic, Light Magic, and Sand Magic. The only thing she felt was reasonable was Light. The rest seemed too situational, even if the bonuses were potentially good. Lava might give an increase to Heart of Cinder. Many other second tier resistances were more enticing but she hadnt met the requirements to reach a third tier. Blast Resistance, the various drain resistances or even Time Magic were sadly unavailable. Ilea decided her five points were enough to spend two. If she needed more, she could always host another resistance training session. ding Light Magic Resistance reaches 3rd lvl 1 Light Magic Resistance 3rd lvl 1 The power of the sun harnessed and enhanced by magic. You have experienced the burning heat of light and pushed ahead. This skill will help you be more resistant. 2nd stage: Staring into the light should have really blinded you at this point. Instead, you have gotten used to it. Your eyes are much less sensitive to the negative effects associated with light. You are mostly immune to sudden blinding changes, be they an abrupt abundance or lack of light. 3rd stage: You have been exposed to incredible sources of light magic. Your body has gained the ability to absorb some of the properties of the light around you, allowing you to see even in the absence of light as long as you have been exposed in the past week. Damaging natural occurrences of certain wavelengths no longer pass through you but are instead absorbed, should you wish for such to happen. Excess energy will be transformed into both heat and mana. Ilea smiled as she read through the added text. Skin cancer resistance? Not that I think cancer even forms in my body with the regeneration I have. Or does it form faster? She assumed the former to be the case, thinking she would have noticed if the latter applied. The interesting part was the excess mana and heat, adding to her pool and potentially Heart of Cinder. I could literally fight a sun, she thought and giggled to herself, getting a weird look from the mage a few tables over. He pointed at her and murmured something that sounded like a curse. She didnt feel the familiar magic however. Yes, yes, she said, waving him off. ding Lava Magic Resistance reaches 3rd lvl 1 Lava Magic Resistance 3rd lvl 1 An elemental form of molten rock, reserved for those few living in conditions most consider deadly. You have met and fought such a being, its magic opposed by Heat and Earth magic resistance but ultimately something different, more primordial and ancient. 2nd stage: Your body can store heat more effectively, your skin and muscles less prone to melting. Lava has become to you like water is to others, its substance less restricting as you move through it. 3rd stage: You gain the ability to absorb heat from both within your body and your surroundings, effectively cooling yourself and your vicinity, allowing you to survive in high temperature environments. Ilea tapped the table as she read through the newfound powers. Nothing major but she felt the points were worth it regardless. Her night and cave vision would be vastly improved and if the third tier of Lava Magic Resistance delivered, she could now effectively cancel Heart of Cinder. Hmm, she thought and activated the spell. She could feel the heat building before it flowed seamlessly into her body. Other than a lightly warm skin, nothing came to be. Like the sun on a warm spring day, she thought with a smile. The mage who had occasionally looked over stared at her with an open mouth, muttering a few more curses before he stumbled backwards and ran. Whats gotten into him? Ilea asked herself before she noticed the steam rising from the corners of her mouth. She stopped channeling Heart of Cinder, releasing the small amount of energy in a comically weak cone of fire. So I can charge it up before a battle now, cool myself down from time to time to make sure I dont die. And absorb the heat in case it isnt needed. She thanked the Trakorov and enjoyed the rest of her short stay at the Seaward inn.
