" Begrudgingly they lined up to have their scrapes mended. The seven of us watched in awe as Selene revealed more of her magic abilities to us. After Selene cleaned the large gash across Cassius' arm, she hovered her hand over the wound and whispered a few words. A warm glow emitted from her hand and right before our eyes, the cut began to mend. Cassius flexed and rotated his arm. He gave Selene a look of admiration. "It feels good as new. Thank you, Miss Selene," Cassius said. It wasn't long until the remaining wounds of the others were healed. Arlo watched the entire time with a pout. "Aw, man. I want to be healed by magic," he muttered. Sage gave him a playful shove. "You are such a baby,

’ I laugh out loud at how surreal it is, having ancient magic explained to me using twentieth century plumbing metaphors. “So, the first time is harder?” I ask the obvious question. ‘Like all new things, it takes time, patience and practice. The first time can be difficult, especially if it is something more obscure like cloaking. That takes a lot of power, practice and knowledge. Things that will come over time. Fyre is natural to us, just like misting and flying. It is natural for you to walk, but you stumbled as you learned. Magic is the same. It flows through you, you have the benefit of being part witch, and the practise you have had with your gifts, will help you greatly.’ Naivleen has

"This spell will allow you to communicate with each other telepathically." The class murmured in excitement, and Master Colt raised his hands to silence us. "The Mind Link spell requires concentration and control. You must be able to clear your mind and focus on the spell. There's also a challenge: you'll be tested, and if you fail, you won't be able to get the spell. Are you ready to begin?" We chorused, "Yes, Master!" Zina handed out the spell-books, and I smiled as I collected mine. It was boldly written: "Guard for Learners."

Celica heard Andy's questions, she smiled and looked at her small hands to explain to Andy: "Ah, it's the magic of life, Andy. It has many varieties such as space magic for storage, cooking, spells, barriers, healing, fishing, basic attacks, etc. .. And many other things, but I'm only learning a few right now. Do you want me to teach you a few, Andy? Like you might need these later on." Andy happily looked into Celica's eyes with his amused gaze, he clasped her hand and began to say gratefully: "Yes, I feel like you're amazing Celica, like you know everything!" Celia showed herself to be very good and began to look at Andy with the eyes of a teacher looking at her students, she arrogantly a

Rose as she continued to read the book in front of her. “Yeah, okay…” Cecilia also continued reading. The stack of books were all about magic. “Magus: Basic Structures Of Magic Circles” “Gifts Granted By God” “Divine Magic And Belief” “Elemental Resonance Between Magic And Science” “Advanced Guide to Magic” were some of the titles among others. Rose’s objective was to master at least a few high tier magic for the upcoming fight. That was the original plan that she thought of when she had just returned from the last quest but as of now, she was keeping watch. Her eyes also took quick glances at Cecilia.

“My mother would tell me all about what happened to little witches that tried to cast big spells out of their skillset…never ends well.” “On that note, I’d like you to have this.” Cordelia shook her head at Rowena for trying to scare me off, but little did they know there wasn’t anything anyone could do to knock me off this path. If magic meant protecting my friends, family, and pack—then sign me up, risks included. “Take this book home with you, study the sigils and their meaning’s. It’s a beginners guide so you shouldn’t be able to drain yourself into a coma if you try one out.” The cover was bound in plum colored velvet, which was soft as it brushed against my fingertips. This time I did

Sheeba chuckled and then said in a misty voice, “ My dear, magic comes from within and not from learning as long as you concentrate on the task which is in front of you only then will you be able to come up with a proper spell that will solve your troubles, do you think that the guardians who were born with special abilities had books prepared for them? No, they did not have any idea either, they did not know what was happening to them and what they needed to do to stop it.” “ It was their sheer willpower which gave them enough strength to break the shackles which held them down and look within themselves, given that you are a witch and a shifter as well, I can see that your magic is stronge

"I think I can learn to use elementary magic first so I can pass the test at the guild later." Wilma tried to recall elementary magic from this body's memory. She found ‘appraisal magic’ and ‘sense magic’ as well as ‘body enhancement’. The place where this body was a slave only had elementary magic books so she could only learn to use those magics. In using magic, all magicians must use spells and imagination. Wilma as a human from Earth is very rich in imagination because she is an otaku who really likes comic books and novels. Using imagination is her forte.

“It will help you to use what magic is suitable for you. Magic spell are difficult to remember and this is usually the fastest way to teach children of magics that they need to know in many occasions. I added some of offensive magics and also a healing magic. But beware that our healing magic won’t heal a wound permanently.” Rose nodded her head, expressing her gratefulness with her face, “Thank you. Thank you, Master.” “It’s what I should do, especially to you who had never deserved this,” the master explained to her, his eyebrows downcast as he felt terrible in her sake. “She feels like a child,” Eston whispered as he stood right beside Mona. “Yet I could feel a tremendous amount of magic

“Let’s try again. Your magic takes its power from the moon. Focus on the glass ball in your hands. Your intent is to fill it with the light of the moon. That is all you must think about. Keep your eyes on the ball, look at nothing else. I want you to conjure the image of moonlight in the forefront of your mind; feel it on your skin.” “Keep the moon in your thoughts. Understood.” She took a moment to clear her mind, imagining a full moon and the way its light lit up the night. Gail tried to imagine it on her skin. She opened eyes and stared down at the hollow glass ball in her hands. Gail kept the idea of moonlight in her mind as she tapped into her magic. It rushed to answer her call. In a w
