Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?
Chapter 394 Trying To Learn Cooking Magic With Mom-----
I had decided to spend the remaining EXP I had into making my trusty [Ember] into a Skill that can Level Up. I had thought it over this entire time and when I analyzed the battle I had against that woman, I felt like I needed more firepower. My magic alone can only bring me so far, and even my flames seemed to not be completely enough against someone powerful like her. My Mana might be endless, but the burden I take into my soul when I overuse it is big. I have to enhance my power so I can conjure magic that is also stronger. I guess I really needed a challenging battle like this one to realize I've been mostly doing quantity over quality this entire time with Ember, but now, I've realized I need to enhance the quality of my magic as well.
Although I will be able to do this over time as my Magic Circle grows stronger and I gain the ability to conjure higher tiered magic, [Ember] is a special Spell that doesn't require chanting and can be brought out in an instant, this is one of the major fortes of Skills. Therefore, I'll Level it up and enhance its power, perhaps even learning new Skills that can be even stronger than Ember. Perhaps things like Fireball, Fire Shield, or even Fire Arrows could be acquired as Skills, if that's the case, I would be able to generate such powerful spells right away instead of having to create them out of thousands of smaller [Embers].
Also, there was something interesting…
-----
[Lesser Fire Magic: Ember: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/1000
A Lesser Fire Attribute Magic Spell, the weakest there is.
By spending 10 Mana, create a small fire to lit candles, start a small fire, or illuminate a small and dark place.
The power of this Spell is mediocre and cannot be properly used for fighting, even the slightest breeze can turn off this tiny flame.
Cooldown: No Cooldown.
Level Bonus (1): Enhances the Skill's Damage Dealt and Conjuration Speed by +10%
-----
Looking at the Skill, it appears that the Level Bonus is different than other Skills I've been able to Level Up. They always had a mere "enhance skill effects by +10% with each level" as a Level Bonus, but this time, this Spell gained the "Enhances the Skill's Damage Dealt and Conjuration Speed by +10%", which is completely different. I suppose Ember, as a Spell that can be conjured, has no special effects that can be enhanced, so what the Level Bonus enhances instead is Damage Dealt and Conjuration Speed… If I manage to get this Skill to Level 10, wouldn't I get a +100% bonus? That means doubled power and speed of conjuration, two times as strong and fast!
However, as much as I wanted to just conjure magic constantly to level this up as fast as I could, I ended being busy helping my mother cooking. I was asked to butcher up a large Ferocious Bird, big, two-meter-tall birds that sometimes wander near the tent, well, they quickly got hunted by the Amazon who have no problem hunting big creatures. They said they taste like a very strong flavored chicken.
After bleeding the corpse I quickly began remembering all of what my father had taught me and began to skin the beast after taking away the feathers, which I piled up separately. Using a good knife I had cleansed and sharpened, I quickly began cutting down the meat, taking out the entrails, and then I asked my mother how she wanted it.
"Cut the thighs for now, we'll roast the rest entirely." She said.
"Wait, the entire thing?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah! We are a lot now, so we need tons of food." My mother said with a smile.
"Okay then…" I nodded.
I quickly cut down the thighs with leg and all, and quickly gave them to my mother. She immediately moved around and began cooking everything, I saw her using Cooking Magic with my friends, trying to see through it. However, this magic was so incredibly complex combining various elements all together that even now it was quite hard.
However, from what Ninhursag had taught us, learning Polymorph Magic which contained several elements together, and also the Beast Auras which also combined several elements was a good starting point to learn Cooking Magic eventually. We had used the Beast Auras in the battle two days ago and constantly, forcing ourselves to memorize the elemental combination and conjurations.
Maybe we are not ready to master anything yet but I really want to take a grasp of Cooking Magic myself… I boldly stepped forward while my mother was cooking and decided to help her, cutting down a thigh into pieces and adding it to a smaller pot as I added potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and other veggies such as garlic and onions. This was a simply chicken stew, but then, I quickly started the conjuration of magic, gathering various runes as I began to cook the meal by boiling it with water, adding spices and more.
"Sylphy…?" My mother asked in surprise of what I was trying to do.
"I-I'm trying to…! Ugh [Enchant Spice]!"
I used the lowest tiered Cooking Magic Spell I could, as I felt my Magic Circle grinding my soul, causing a severe amount of pain as the spell was forcefully being conjured. When magicians used spells that were too advanced for their magic circles, the magic circle would take a big burden.
FLASH!
Suddenly, I managed to do it, as a small flash of light came out of my hands.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "I-I did it!"
"Incredible…!"
My mother was surprised, as we looked into the stew being prepared.
POOF!
However, from the shiny golden light, it suddenly turned dark purple, as disgusting bubbles began to emerge from the stew, which suddenly gained a poisonous-looking color.
"Ah… You failed, dear."
"EH?!"
The stew was ruined, and its taste and smell was horrid… I guess I am still not ready for this yet.
