Kyle flew upwards again and stopped near the World Ceiling.
'The wind here is pretty strong,' he thought as his hair kept slapping his face. 'Just what I want.'
The next mont, he summoned a green ball of Wind Ether in his hand and watched it.
He could control the ball so that it wouldn't disperse into the surroundings, but he actively deactivated that ability and watched as the Wind Ether slowly vanished.
The surrounding wind was absorbing part of the Wind Ether and beca stronger.
One small gust of wind beca bigger, which pushed on another gust of wind, which pushed on another gust of wind, and so on.
Since there was nothing but air and wind around Kyle, he could see how his little bit of Wind Ether had a huge impact on the wind in the distance.
'Wasn't there so kind of proverb about a butterfly's wings and a tornado? Or was that just about that ti travel butterfly effect thing?'
He watched the movent of the wind with his Ether Sense and saw that his own Wind Ether had a ten-tis amplifying effect on the wind in the distance.
'Ten tis is pretty crazy,' he thought, 'but it is also not very focused in its effect.'
'Sure enough, this feels just like the Fragnt of tal Expansion.'
'Except that the effect is much more pronounced.'
'In fact, the effect probably gets even stronger further away. I just can't look that far into the distance.'
Kyle was right.
Several hundred kiloters away, the Skysand above the southern continent was being pushed around, hitting the areas protected by the Ether Springs.
Luckily, the Ether Springs were powerful enough that they could block the Skysand without many issues.
The Skysand moved erratically from ti to ti, and this wasn't anything unusual.
The only people who noticed were the ones traveling past one of these streams.
"The Skysand is wild today," one of them said.
"Yeah, that happens," another guy answered.
Kyle continued watching his Wind Ether dispersing into the wind and took a deep breath.
'This is so fucking complicated!'
'Yep, that confirms it,' he thought. 'This is the hard one to learn. What did the Duchess of Twilight call it? A Base Fragnt. Right, a Pure Level One Law is made of one Base Fragnt and three Auxiliary Fragnts. I already know the three Auxiliary Fragnts, leaving with the Base Fragnt.'
Wind's composition wasn't very complex. It was just about making the air move. Wind's focus also wasn't that complicated since it just involved a bit of pressure.
Wind's movent was just about how the wind moved.
Yet, the true power of wind was how it affected the air and other streams of wind.
Just a little bit of wind could have devastating consequences if launched at the right mont and at the right ti.
Wind was like an engine, and by adding just a bit of wind, a trendous effect could be achieved.
Just a bit of extra wind could turn otherwise peaceful winds above the Atlantic Ocean into a hurricane.
In the initial phases of a hurricane, there were just a couple of individual downdrafts and updrafts. The speeds of these drafts were not very strong. A normal human would consider them drafts, but those were not extre speeds.
Yet, the wind and so other things would just keep feeding the storm, making it more and more powerful.
Just a tiny bit of extra wind could turn a failed hurricane into an actual hurricane.
Kyle rembered a video from Earth where a guy pushed over a small domino stone, which hit a slightly bigger one, which hit a slightly bigger one, and so on until a huge domino was pushed over.
One small push could cause a catastrophe.
Kyle experinted with his Wind Ether for several hours, watching how it strengthened the wind in the distance.
Eventually, he got distracted by sothing and looked up.
The sun was passing right above him.
'Huh, it really is just so kind of spotlight,' he thought as he flew over.
The sun was traveling across the World Ceiling at a couple of hundred kiloters per hour, which wasn't very fast to Kyle.
A mont later, he touched the brightly colored spot on the World Ceiling that was the sun.
'It's warm,' he thought. 'At most a couple of hundred degrees.'
It was so weird to literally touch the sun.
Well, it was even weirder that the sun was just a moving white spot on the silver ceiling.
'I can actually feel a bit of Light and Fire Ether coming from it, but it's not that much. Weird.'
He watched the sun for a bit before he returned to looking at his Wind Ether.
So days passed in which he experinted more with the wind, and he was slowly learning how the wind affected other kinds of wind.
'At least I'm starting to see what's actually happening, sowhat. It's crazy how complicated the Ether's transformation is in this case. The volu and speed of wind create completely different movents of Ether. It's similar to the levels of speed of Wind Movent.'
'This is most likely similar to the different tal Composition Fragnts. Actually, now that I think about it, are they actually individual Fragnts? I an, we create fraworks for the different levels to master them, but there is no real natural distinction between the tal Composition Fragnts.'
'We just decided that they are Fragnts. I guess they are just individual checkpoints.'
'In the sa way, the Fragnt of Wind Expansion also probably has individual checkpoints, which I could call Fragnts.'
Kyle shook his head. 'But I don't need those. I'm in this for the long haul, and my comprehension speed isn't as slow as it used to be.'
'In fact,' he thought as the ball of Wind Ether in his hand expanded a bit. 'Here you go! I already got the lowest level.'
'It's just that the lowest level is less than 1% of the entire thing, and it doesn't even really increase my power.'
'Well, I already expected that this would take forever.'
'Just gotta keep at it.'
