The forest was dense and calm, with the sun's rays penetrating through the leaves of the trees. The concrete path made for a quiet walk, and Luke enjoyed the scenery as he went along. As he approached the library building, Luke noticed that the surrounding vegetation was more manicured, with beautiful flower beds and ornamental plants, which was a bit different from the large forest on the island.
The library was an imposing building, with a white marble facade that shone in the sunlight. At its entrance, two large solid wood doors opened to reveal a spacious lobby, lit by a skylight high above the ceiling.
The floor was marble, with colorful mosaics depicting heroic magicians. Walking through the shelves of books, Luke was surprised by the vastness of the library. The bookshelves stretched over several floors, reaching to the ceiling.
The stairs leading from one shelf to another seemed to float in the air, magically supported by invisible supports by wind magic. The shelves were filled with books of all sizes, shapes and colors. Some were so large they seemed to weigh a ton, while others were so small they could fit in the palm of your hand.
Some books were old, but all were kept dust-free, some had worn leather covers and gold lettering engraved on the outside. Others were new and shiny, with brightly colored covers.
Luke walked down the aisles of the library, each shelf marked with a golden plaque with the name of the session. The half-wolf kept walking, looking for the plate that had fire magic, his goal was to find a way, a hint, to either master fire magic or counter attack.
The half-wolf then arrived at a part of the library focused on combat magic, several books caught Luke's attention, but one in particular caught the young man's eyes. On the red leather cover was written "Fundamentals of Firefighting", it was a collaborative book, with several authors.
The cover was a little worn, and on the top, a little below the name, was a drawing of a golden square with a flame in the middle. Luke began flipping through the pages, looking for useful information and analyzing the quality of the text. Quickly the half-wolf was surprised by the quality of the text.
Luke sat down at a nearby table, with the book open in front of him. He concentrated on the text, carefully reading each paragraph. The book was full of ideas for attacks using fire magic, all spells with a focus on combat, with chapters on the elemental properties of fire, conjuration techniques, the manipulation of magical energy, and attack and defense spells related to firebending.
Each chapter seemed more interesting than the last, and the half-wolf concentrated intensely on every word written on the page. He found a chapter on fire attack spells, with tips on how to control and manipulate flames to inflict damage on an enemy.
Another chapter talked about defense against fire attacks, teaching how to create magical shields with flames, as well as effective methods against advanced level fire attacks.
A few pages ahead, a section caught the half-wolf's attention. It was a theoretical chapter called "Complete annulment of fire". It was a series of texts focused on defenses that, although difficult to control, were capable of completely annulling fire attacks.
The first text explained about the "Annulment of flames with water and wind", following for several pages, the text explained how to create a kind of wind atmosphere with high humidity around your opponent. The idea was to use water with wind to prevent the enemy from creating flames.
Fire magic needs a pipeline, the person needs to generate the flames. So the idea was to use the wind around it, along with the water, so the spell would stay on, putting out the fire. This magic was efficient, however, it needed a very high mana expenditure and mastery.
The next spell was called "Annulment by means of bubbles". The idea was to use spheres of water on the opponent's hands, locking the person with control of the water while preventing the user from channeling.
Luke was fascinated by these defense techniques against fire magic. He left the advanced session and went back to the basic fire defenses, but the advanced methods were much more effective and interesting ways, after all, while the basic nullifications are functional and fast, the advanced ones completely incapacitate the opponent.
He decided to study them in more detail and practice them to improve his firefighting skills, Luke knew that Hawk was a fire mage, so more attention to this aspect was needed.
As he continued reading, he found a section on creating fire barriers. This technique was used to create a barrier of flames around the user, protecting him from physical attacks. However, the creation of these barriers was extremely difficult and required a high level of control and mastery of mana.
Creating fire barriers was useful against arrows, rocks, and other types of physical attacks, after all, any attack is disintegrated within seconds.
One session that particularly caught Luke's attention was "Supreme shield against fire"
"Fire is one of the most dangerous forms of magic, capable of causing severe damage to anyone in its path. Therefore, it is important for every mage to know how to protect themselves against fire attacks. In this chapter, we'll discuss a very useful defense spell against fire: the Fire Protection.
Fire Protection is a defense spell that creates a magical barrier around the user, protecting him from flames and fire. To cast this spell, the magician must be in a state of deep concentration, and visualize a sphere of white energy around his body. Once the sphere of white energy is established, the magician must focus his attention on creating a protective barrier around this sphere.
To do this, the magician must imagine that he is manipulating a fluid matter, which can be shaped and controlled at will.
With this control, he must create a barrier that is strong enough to prevent the passage of any flame or fire.Fire Protection is a very effective defense technique, but it is important to remember that it requires a significant amount of energy and concentration to perform successfully.
Furthermore, it is crucial that the magician maintains his concentration and continues to visualize the protective barrier around him, otherwise the protection can break down and leave him vulnerable to fire attacks.A variation of this spell is the Advanced Fire Protection, which is more powerful and efficient than the basic Fire Protection.
To cast this spell, the magician must perform the same steps as for basic Fire Protection, but must create an even stronger and more resistant barrier.Advanced Fire Protection is particularly useful against high intensity fire attacks, such as those generated by dragons or experienced sorcerers. However, just like the basic
However, like the basic Fire Protection, it requires a great deal of energy and concentration to perform successfully. In conclusion, Fire Protection is an essential defense technique for any magician who wishes to protect himself against fire attacks. With practice and patience, any magician can master this technique and create strong and resistant protective barriers against flames and fire.
However, it is important to remember that this technique requires a large amount of energy and concentration, and must be used carefully and sparingly to avoid exhaustion and physical damage."
Another interesting section talked about fire manipulation. The text explained how to manipulate the flame into various forms, such as turning it into a dragon or a snake, as well as tips for the fire shield.
He knew that this technique was very advanced, but decided that it was worth a try.As Luke read further, he realized that fire magic was much more complex than he had imagined. There was much more to be learned than he had realized.
He decided that he would need to study and practice much more if he wanted to become a master at fire magic. After several hours of study and practice, Luke was finally able to perform a small fire barrier. He was excited about his progress and knew that he needed to continue practicing if he wanted to improve his skills.
He decided that he would visit the library more often to continue his studies of combat magic.
As he walked back to his dormitory, Luke thought about how fire magic was fascinating and dangerous at the same time. He knew that he needed to be very careful when using his abilities, as he could easily injure himself or others. He promised himself that he would be responsible and use his magic only in self-defense or in emergency situations.
