"So, we need to gather elental mana for our partners?" Rey knew this was a possibility. She was used to the fact that her partner needed mana. But she had never had to exhaust both her and the alchemy fire spirit's mana. Now that it had grown and was nad Azar. "Azar might need more rest. I still feel the new spirit marks are off."
"I know. But we can help with that. The natural mana is what connected us. I can tell that with more natural mana I can help settle things. Gil should understand the feeling too. He should be able to guide you two a little more."
"I had an idea that you wanted for this." Gil could tell that the spirit marks on his body were better settled than what Su and Rey had. Their spirit marks were still slightly visible whereas Gil's spirit mark was invisible until in use. That was the difference that ca with the advanced spirit mark for soone nad as an avatar of a nad grand elental spirit.
"I can still feel the earth around . The mana is everywhere. It's just hard to grasp. I feel like it's even harder to feel other elental mana though. I know I can because of my bonds with my system and Midnight, but I'm not sure I will be able to grasp them as easily as earth."
Walker had expected this struggle for Su. "I have trouble grasping all elental mana at the sa ti. Calling on natural mana is ten tis harder for . Natural mana is the combination of all mana. It's not my affinity. You have earth affinity now. That's what happens with your relationship with Alvaro. But you also have affinity for other elental manas. You can learn them and by fusing them you will have better strength."
The idea that Su would be able to use elental mana in attacks other than small things was great. She wanted to try and do more with it but knew that her body would need to adjust first. "So Su will be able to make lava shields and maybe even other cool things? Will she be able to use wind and sand to make shields against arrows?"
The points and ideas that Rey brought up were very inspiring. Su had just started to think about the future of her skills. With this, she would be able to plan out her growth better. "I think I will be able to. I have seen the wind act that way for Gil and Walker to combine elental manas. But I know I will never have the control over other elental manas in comparison to my strength with earth."
"That's exactly it. When I gained my control of wind and my affinity enhanced, I felt that it was harder to make other elental arrows. I even struggle with overcharging them to make more powerful attacks." Gil pulled the arrows out one by one. The wither spike arrows were still his main choice. They had multiple elental manas within.
"This is the wind arrow, see how it reacts to just holding it?" The wind seed to move around the arrow slightly. It was enough to move the grass in the ground where Gil was placing it. "That doesn't happen with the fire arrow unless I really focus. My mind needs to be clearer than with wind." The fire wither spike arrow didn't show any reaction until Gil had touched it for a few seconds. Then a small wisp of steam ca off it where it burned grass.
"Midnight struggled with other elental manas too. She had an affinity for darkness elental mana at first. That was the easiest king of fire for her to use after we trained. The black fla breath was easily made in to the decaying fla breath. The other fla breath attacks are harder for her to use and not to the sa strength. They have been catching up though. She doesn't think I see her training them." Walker knew that Midnight would secretly train these skills. Especially when she took the night watch with Gil.
"Now, focus on the elental mana around you. I am going to try to pull natural mana around us so we can recover. Then I will need to rest myself." Walker sat cross legged so that he could fall in to his perfect ditation.
The focus he had was only on the natural mana around. With the natural mana, he knew he could pull all elental mana. Due to Gil, Rey, and Su being near him, the earth, wind, and fire elental mana would be drawn more than others with the natural mana. It might even cause the natural mana to split in to the elental manas that make it up.
"Alma, they have found three grand elental spirits as their partners. Three. And a nature spirit. What are your thoughts?" Scylla had watched the four speak and begin to train. She had felt the elental mana around them and know that they were recovering. But she was curious about the elves' perspective.
"I think they are more than we understand. It's odd. If anyone else were to co together like them, nothing would happen. They have so strange luck and ntal drive to beco more than they are. It's natural that the elental spirits are drawn to them. They would be idols in the elve population if they were elves." Alma was very honest.
"They are missing darkness, light, water. That's it. If they manage to get those grand elental spirits on their side, I can imagine that they will be a team of creation. A team of sages. Even demi-humans have tales of sages." Scylla looked at the four while wondering what the future held after this battle. She trusted it would be miraculous.
