Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King



Wolfe woke up to the smell of lunch being served to the tower restaurant, which was now full of respectfully quiet diners. Most of the collapsed spellcasters had been moved, but nobody wanted to interrupt Wolfe's sleep, and every time they tried to touch Khalifa, a small portal would open, and a worgen would growl at them.

So, they remained on the floor while everyone else was relocated to a bed.

The smell had also awoken the Elf, who was giving a lustful look at the kitchen doors while Wolfe stretched his stiff muscles.

"We might as well get back into the chairs, and we can have another meal before we go anywhere." He chuckled, then offered her his hand to get to her feet.

The Elf was still exhausted but only on a mental level, and she sighed as she slumped into the chair.

"Who would have thought that the spell would take so much? I read about it when I was in school, but I've never seen anyone cast it. It's not really something that needs to be done in our world unless there has been a natural disaster." She explained.

"Well, I'm glad that you knew the spell. I would have never thought to try that. I would have just tried changing the radius of the existing spell over and over as the forest grew." Wolfe explained.

Khalifa frowned. "That would be horribly wasteful, and the amount you could gain each time would only be a kilometre or two of radius. It would take a lifetime to complete the spell that way."

A server brought them over a large pitcher of water and a platter of fruits, vegetables and some of the vegan cheese that Cook was so proud of.

"The Faeries told me that Elves don't eat anything to do with meat. So, I brought you this." She whispered as if speaking to people with a hangover.

With the way that they were both squinting in the light and moving slowly, the assumption was not far off the mark, but there was no telling if the noise would make things worse.

Khalifa smiled at her and patted the girl on the head. "Thank you very much. The Faerie was exactly right about our diet. Even though we hunt threats to the kingdom, and sometimes for sport, we don't eat any meat products ourselves. We give them to the carnivorous species."

Then she turned to Wolfe.

"There is still a lot of mana flowing into the spell. Do you think that many people have woken up already and started to infuse the spell to start the process?" She asked.

Wolfe shook his head. "I altered the Mana Gathering Arrays to redirect everything they could get that wasn't used to keep the mana balance in town at its preset level to the spell.

I didn't get the chance to completely change them back before passing out. 

I could turn it down, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything."

Khalifa frowned. "If you keep it at this rate, the spell will spread quite quickly, and others are going to notice very soon that things are changing. How subtle are you trying to be?"

That was a great question. How subtle was he trying to be? He could go all out and make huge sweeping changes, but that might panic the Covens around him, which would lead to more war.

That was not what he wanted, but he also didn't want to wait forever for the spell to take effect and allow the villages to gain the benefit of their magic.

"I will slow it down some so that the changes don't alarm the neighbouring Covens. The eastern side of the Frozen Wastes is hundreds of kilometres from here, so they will have time to adapt, but the border with the Myrrh Coven is quite close, and they are our allies and trade partners."

Adjusting the Mana Gathering spells only took a few seconds, but the glowing orb of the new spell over top of the tower was going to take some getting used to. 

It shone like a second moon, one that was visible in the middle of the day, and Wolfe wondered if it was going to keep everyone up at night by illuminating the whole area.

It might be that it was freshly created and overloaded with mana, which would mean it would fade with time to a very dim light. But if it didn't, then they would have to start considering some new forms of curtains for the housing in the trees, which almost all had a view of the tower.

The advancement in rank had really changed Wolfe's perspective of the world around him. He could feel the Elements in a way that he couldn't quite explain. It was as if he could just reach out and snuff them or bend them into a spell without an inscription of any sort. 

The elements were living things, aspects of the world, but as with any other living things, they could be bent to the will of those who knew how. 

Some were out of his reach, as Wolfe was limited in what Elements he could use with any sort of skill, but he could feel his knowledge of the ones he was adept at growing by the second as he took in the world around him.

No wonder the old Kitsune said that advancing would make it more likely that he could take over the Frozen Wastes as a leader. If he wanted, Wolfe could now drop the temperature in the village enough that he could make it snow just by removing the Fire element and drawing all the heat out of the air.

That would be a terrible idea, no matter how pretty it might be at first. The Faeries didn't do well in the cold, and there were hundreds of them in the trees and the rafters of the houses, sleeping off the effects of the spell.
