Duke Alden looked at Julian and said, "You seem to have finally reached the peak of Apprentice Mage though you're two years late." His tone was calm but carried a hint of expectation.
Augustus laughed and said, "Go with your father Julian and figure out your elent."
Eva with excitent in her eyes leaned forward and asked, "What elent do you think our brother will get?"
Her curiosity was clear as she glanced around the table eager to hear everyone's thoughts.
Eleanor grinned and replied, "Maybe fire, How cool would that be?"
She flicked her hand as if imagining flas bursting to life clearly entertained by the thought of her brother wielding such power.
Regina shook her head and said, "No, fire is boring. Imagine light, angelic power for my angelic son"
She smiled proudly picturing Julian glowing with divine energy.
Julian smirked and jumped in, "But I want dark. I want to be cool"
He leaned back in his chair as he crossed his arms with a playful grin enjoying the idea of having a more mysterious and edgy power.
Eva rolled her eyes and teased, "You're so edgy, dear Julian."
She smirked as she shook her head at his dramatic reaction amused by his desire to seem dark and mysterious.
Everyone laughed and Alden as he smiled, said, "Rember it's not about the elent but rather your discipline and hard work."
His tone was firm but encouraging that reminded Julian of the real path to becoming a powerful mage.
After finishing their al, everyone rose from the table and left the grand hall. Julian followed closely behind his father eager to discover his elental affinity and what the future held for him as a mage. The large hallways echoed with their footsteps as they made their way toward the mage testing chamber.
As Julian walked behind his father, he couldn't help but think to himself, What elent will I get?
His mind raced with possibilities, would it be sothing powerful like fire or mysterious like darkness? The anticipation made his heart pound a little faster.
What if I get a dual elent? Julian thought his excitent bubbling inside him. The idea of wielding two powers was thrilling, imagine the possibilities and the uniqueness it would bring!
Or maybe even triple or quadruple, Julian thought with his imagination running wild. The thought of mastering three or four elents sent a rush of adrenaline through him.
He envisioned himself as a legendary mage who harnessed the forces of nature in ways no one else could. The possibilities seed endless and he couldn't help but smile at the idea of being truly extraordinary.
Julian excitedly asked, "Father what is your elent?"
Alden smiled and replied, "Julian when you reach a certain level and advancent on the path of a mage your elent becos nothing more than a tool. You can use and master any elent and there are no limitations. If your level allows it you can wield dual, triple, or even all of the elents. It all cos down to your mana and sea of consciousness.
The better developed your sea of consciousness is, the more power you can wield."
Julian frowned in confusion and asked, "Father, why don't lower level mages use multiple elents?"
Alden explained, "Julian, rember that the sea of consciousness is like a heart for mages. In the lower realms you do nothing more than nurture your fragile sea of consciousness with the elent you have the highest affinity with. If you try to overload it with multiple elents, that fragile sea can break apart and explode resulting in death."
Julian felt enlightened by his father's words and quickly dismissed the idea of using multiple elents.
They soon reached the hall where mana testing was conducted. Julian's eyes widened as he spotted a large and crystallized ball at the center of the room which was glowing with a radiant light. The sight filled him with anticipation as he approached the testing crystal ball eager to discover his own magical affinity.
Alden turned to Julian and said, "Go near the crystal ball and let it absorb so of your mana."
His voice was calm and encouraging which signalled that it was ti for Julian to take the first step in discovering his elental affinity. Julian nodded feeling a mix of excitent as he approached the glowing orb ready to channel his mana into it.
Julian stood in front of the ball. He watched in awe as his mana was absorbed by the crystal. The orb began to grow in size and glowing and pulsating with energy.
As it absorbed more of his mana, the color shifted to a deep purplish hue that swirled with sparks of light dancing around the surface.
Alden watched with a broad smile as the crystal transford recognizing the signs of the lightning elent.
"This is incredible!" he exclaid.
Lightning was a rare and powerful elent which was known for its speed and ferocity in battle. He felt a surge of pride for Julian knowing that this affinity would open up many possibilities for his son's future as a mage.
