Ilea switched to her third class and selected Fires of Creation. Aw man, all those collected Core points gone in a few minutes. ding Fires of Creation [Enhanced] reaches 3rd lvl 1 Active Fires of Creation [Enhanced] 3rd lvl 1 Let the fires erupt, burning away your health in the exchange for devastating power. All of your spells and your body are infused with the Flame of Creation, dealing lingering damage to health, mana, and magical constructs. You are immune to stunning, fear, and shout abilities. Your resilience is increased by 60% [780%] 2nd stage: The pale flame settles within your core. The Fires of Creation now affect enemy health regeneration. This effect is higher for areas directly touched by the Flame of Creation. 3rd stage: Your experience with Fires of Creation allows you to infuse your magical constructs with its effects. For each level in the third tier, the skills upkeep is reduced by a static 25 [750] points of health per second and you may sacrifice an additional static 250 [7500] points of health per second to enhance the skills effects. The flames of creation return 2.75% of all health and mana burned away so long as the spell is active. Category: Aura Body Enhancement Space Magic As if I needed even more sustain, Ilea thought and laughed. What did you unlock? the Meadow asked. Health and mana steal with the Fires of Creation, she said with a smug expression. Oh? You didnt have that already? Well, you did just get your evolution, the being said. Its joking. Just ignore it. Youre a powerful goddess, Ilea, she reminded herself and went to upgrade her last skill with her remaining eight Core points when another message popped up. ding Following requirements have been met. Has reached level 500 in three Classes as a human. Has enhanced a total of at least fifteen Class skills with a minimum of one skill in each Class. Additional options have been unlocked Core Skill Points available: 8 [3rd tier Class Skill Point] [Derivative General Skill] [Add Class Modifier] [Add a random additional Class modifier to an existing Class - Cost: 10] As in like a universal body enhancement bonus or something like that? Damn thats pretty fucking good. Or well it would be, if it wasnt random. Could be a bonus to Flesh Magic or maybe just a stat bonus? Who knows. Just got the ability to add class modifiers with Core points, she said. I see. How much does it cost? the Meadow asked. Ten points, and it adds a random bonus, she answered. Good. Though I suggest you focus on enhancements first, it informed her. I think so too. With it being random it might even be worth a thought to invest in stat points instead. Ten points is quite a lot, she mused and enhanced the last skill on her list. But I guess an additional class bonus could be insanely good too. Like literally becoming an immortal. ding Space Manipulation [Enhanced] reaches 3rd lvl 1 Passive Space Manipulation [Enhanced] 3rd lvl 1 You have learned to see and manipulate the ever present spatial fabric. You gain the ability to move anything within the fabric with a mere gesture. 2nd stage: Further understanding of the spatial fabric allows you to manipulate its forces with greater ease and higher intensity. You learn to perceive even the tiniest ripples in space. In the case of active fissures, you find yourself able to peer into the other side. You gain the ability to anchor a spatial pocket to your very essence. Storage increases with the skills level. 3rd stage: You have peered through the fabric of space itself and have learned to unravel its intricate structure. You gain the ability to perceive and differentiate magical frameworks and how to manipulate them within your space without failure. Charge simple manipulation attempts with up to 250 [3500] points of mana. Charge is limited to a static 500 mana per second. You learn how to damage existing frameworks. Results may vary. Category: Body Enhancement Space Magic A charge hmm? Only for simple attempts. Gonna have to test that out thoroughly. Alright, I think thats it three core points left and a whole lot of new things to figure out, she mused and stood up. You dont mind if I throw a bunch of stuff at you, right? Youre not quite at the level of power where I would notice, the Meadow informed. Because youre a healer too, she sent with a smile and burst into white flame. Archon Strike charged before she switched into a stance and punched the air in front of her. A wave of near white turquoise energy burst from her fist, sizzling the black grass before it washed over the crystal trunk of the tree. She repeated the spell, this time without her flames. The wave of blue arcane energy flowed past the being. Healing with your fists. And here I thought you couldnt solve all your problems with punches, the Meadow said. Ilea shook her head. Youre being ridiculous. I can kick too. Her lava, earth, and ice magic formed above her palm, the elements glowing in her magic perception with a noticeable increase in power. The dominion bonus is good for these too, she thought and moved the formed spheres with her space manipulation instead. Her control felt smooth, but her space skill had been reset to the first level in the third tier. I think its affected, but the skill definitely took a hit from the reset. She charged up her space manipulation with a rather sizable amount of mana before she tried to do something with it. Moving the elemental spheres with the charged power didnt seem to work, the limits of the added bonus instinctive as she considered the possibilities. I think I could use it to crush the tree not that it would even notice. A push or pull seems possible too. Ilea decided on the push and simply held up her palm towards the Meadow. A gust of wind flowed past the creature, or so it seemed, until the stone wall around sixty meters behind it shook. Ilea had her eyes opened wide, having seen the wave within her dominion. How very forceful. Little nuance in that use, the Meadow said. Did you fucking see that? Ilea asked, a smile blooming on her face. Yes. I suppose someone who enjoys punching a lot would like such a barbaric approach to space magic, it spoke. Exactly, Ilea confirmed. The charge does take a while I suppose. She formed a set of lava, ice, and earth spheres before she tested her charged manipulation a little more. The simple part in the description limited her use quite a bit but considering the power involved, she couldnt really see it working any other way. The wave of space magic she had summoned worked in various variations. From above to crush anything below, from the side to sweep enemies of their feet, or even from the ground up. She tried forming invisible spears or spheres with the magic but failed to keep them contained, the effect simply a smaller wave in the end. A strong pull or push focused on frameworks in a certain space worked too but with the charged power she couldnt exactly select what to hit. So she simply pulled or pushed everything in the affected area. Compared to the wave, the damaging aspect was much lower but she assumed it could be used to throw even a large monster off balance. The last use she tested was what she named the fruit press. It was the only way she could use her charged space manipulation in a focused manner against a single framework or even a smaller part of one. The word focused being used very liberally in this case. Anything around it would likely not be affected, but the chaotic overcharged nature of the spell simply squeezed something from all around. At some point something gave. So far she only tested it against her own elements but she could imagine what it would do to a living creature. It was really quite horrific, even for her. Ilea couldnt wait to use it in battle. At what point do I talk to you about morals and the corrupting ways of power? the Meadow asked. When I name myself Empress of Mankind and start to eradicate entire species of awakened beings, Ilea answered. She formed her mantle with the full five additional layers. Hmm. My ash capacity rose with the dominion buff too. Helpful, she thought. With the full mantle on her, she hardly qualified for light or even medium armor. Her speed wasnt reduced in a major way however, especially with her wings. The third tier of Titan Core activated as she floated down to the ground, her weight increasing quickly. Heat charge is good, weight increases faster. The spell is indeed, gooder than before, she thought with a smile. A test perhaps to see if the Meadow could read her mind, but the obvious groan didnt come. Your main class is actor after all, ancient eldritch abomination, she thought and squinted her eyes. What, the being said. Her eyes squinted harder. Im ready to level some skills, Ilea said and changed into her ash mantle only, ashen wisps moving through her hair to make a single braid. White flames formed on her body as she jumped back, wings on her back. Show me thine power, Guardian of Erendar. A title I have not heard in a long time, Lilith, immortal of ash. Let us see then, if you are ready to become my equal, the tree mused, a dome like barrier thrumming to life in a fifty meter radius. Hundreds of wooden projectiles formed around the central tree, the ground shaking as the very foundation below them shifted. She smiled, her body tense as she watched the pulses of magic, the fabric itself torn and bent. Ilea gulped as she sensed a part of her allys true power. She stood in the domain of the Endless Meadow.
