Grand Magus

Creating the first rune with the "mind power" as Fraser called it was easy. Though it took quite a while as Fraser needed to draw the entire rune with his mind.

Thus Fraser continued withdrawing every single rune which was on the thick spell model book for dark rope. The AI was an immense help as Fraser looked at the page before letting the AI project the page onto the spirit room allowing Fraser to draw runes from an entire page before needing to look at the spell model book again.

This was so practical that Fraser just stored the entire spell model book in the AI before continuing to draw the runes.

Days passed as Fraser continued his hermit lifestyle but this time instead of meditating to increase his spirit or training in the Basic Knight Breathing Technique he tried to create the spell model of dark rope.

In the beginning Fraser took a while to draw a single rune and thus frowned inwardly:

'How am I able to finish the spell model, on each book page there are at least a dozen runes if not even more. The dark rope spell model book has more than five hundred pages, if this goes on it will take a couple of years.'

However as Fraser continued his rune drawing in his spirit room he became faster.

The more runes he created in his mind room, the more he realized. His spirit decreased with each rune he formed and thus the best moment to create any runes in his mind room was when he had enough spirit.

The decrease in spirit isn't anything permanent, instead it felt like the exhaustion when he used the Alchemy Set to create potions.

So Frasers schedule consisted of eating, resting, meditating in order to increase his spirit and creating runes in his mind room in order to create the spell model.

Two days passed since Fraser bought the spell model book for dark rope and he already created more than thousand runes in his mind room.

In the beginning one thousand runes seemed to be a lot, yet with each rune created it felt easier for Fraser to create runes and the numerical data didn't lied.

Somehow he needed less spirit in order to form a rune.

'There is high chance the spirit is something that can be trained, not only in size but also in control. Maybe the way on how I controlled the spirit was too crude and so I wasted a lot of spirit. I need to test this. Does it only work with runes or does it work with spirit in general. AI, show me my spirit consumption with the Alchemy Set from one week ago and show me the spirit consumption when I create one potion.'

Fraser stopped his routine of meditating and creating runes and pulled out a black fire egg and the Alchemy set and started to brew the potion.

'AI, show me the spirit consumption, did it decrease?'

[0.58 spirit consumption for a basic explosion potion one week ago, the spirit consumption of the basic explosion potion is 0.49. A decrease in 0.09 spirit points detected. Decrease relative to the whole spirit amounts to 3,3%]

'So the spirit consumption does increase, the rune creation even affects my spirit control in the Alchemy Set. Creating a spell model seems to be a good exercise for spirit control.'

With Frasers fast rune creation being explained, Fraser continued to create runes. This time not only for the sake of the spell model, but for the feeling of spirit control.

The idea of feeling the spirit control had no success, but Fraser recorded everything with the AI so the lost time of trying to feel the spirit control still had its use.

Another two days passed and it was four days since Fraser had bought the spell model for dark rope. He already lost track of how many runes he created, though the AI did count for him.

4476 runes floated in his mind room. Though Fraser renamed his mind room the spirit room as it obviously had something to do with his spirit.

Besides his spirit control increased the more runes he created in the room, thus the name spirit room.

Fraser spent the fifth day continuing his rune creation, only a few dozen book pages filled with runes were left.

In order to be at the best state possible when linking all the runes Fraser didn't linked his runes at the fifth day, instead he waited till the sixth day and then sat on his bed and prepared to link all 5400 runes.

It seemed to be easy to link all 5400 runes as Fraser created them one by one. However it was a problem of linking them all at once as one needed to have precise control of the spirit room in order to link them.

'AI, is it possible to link every single rune at once? Also record the linking scene and save it under the file of "Spell Model Linking".'

[Yes it is possible to link every single rune at once, do you want to initiate the spell model linking?]

Fraser said 'Yes' in his mind before awaiting the result of the spell model linking.

With gentle force his spirit controlled his first created rune before linking it with the second rune and the second rune linked with the third rune and the third rune linked with the fourth rune and so on.

This all happened in the blink of an eye and a weirdly shaped model appeared in Frasers spirit room. It almost looked like an egg formed with weirdly shaped runes.

'This is a spell model? It looks like an egg. Let me see what will happen when I push my spirit inside.'

As soon as Fraser pushed a little bit of his spirit inside the runic egg a vortex appeared inside the egg causing Frasers spirit getting s.u.c.k.e.d into the egg.

While the runic egg shrank to the size of a tiny ball Fraser could feel that his spirit room volume somehow got reduced.

Though the spirit inside the room didn't disappeared, instead Fraser could see or feel that the reduced volume of the spirit room appeared in the tiny densely covered runic ball.

Because of the reaction from the spell model Fraser didn't continued to push his spirit inside, instead he pulled back his spirit immediately and watched the shriveling process.

'Is the tiny ball the true form of the spell model and the egg the spell model which never got used? Similar to a balloon but instead of getting bigger and bigger it gets smaller and smaller? Well let me test it.'

Fraser again pushed his spirit into the tiny runic ball and this time he didn't pulled back his spirit.

He could feel how the tiny runic spell model ball drained his spirit and something gathered in front of him. As Fraser opened his eyes a big grin formed on his face.
