Shocks, spells, and ‘drag-so-ball’
🕑 Added 2024-11-19 17:19:35 +0000 UTCAnd done!!! … finally!!
For those who are wondering what I did, I just created and incorporated an alarm spell into my Grimoire. The concept is simple—it sends a mild electrical shock through my body to notify me when the time I set is up. It's ingenious because even if I forget to set the time, it will still shock me if more than 24 hours pass since the last time I actively purified natural energy.
It's a great way to ensure I don't lose track of time again. My only fear is that I will somehow adapt to it, rendering it useless. But hey, let's not be negative before trying it out.
Now that I'm finished, it's time to plan what I want to accomplish. I've come to realize that I need techniques, knowledge, and resources to excel in this world and gain more power.
To do that, I need to establish my presence. I need to have influence, and to gain that, I need something new to bring me connections.
I can think of many ways to help me achieve my goals, such as warding. Now that I have the basics of Runic symbols and inscriptions of this world, I can create wizarding world-based wards, incorporate them, and maybe even create new ones that are far superior to those currently available. Let's face it: if there's anything the wizarding world excels at, it's hiding.
Then there's alchemy. I haven't yet studied how alchemy is practiced here or in the wizarding world, for that matter——Now that I think about it, what should I name this world? I can't keep referring to it as "this world" in my head repeatedly…..How about "DxD"? There are two dragon gods here that I know of, who if the info I got are to be believed are the strongest…. Yeah, let's go with that.
Anyway, I also have everything I need to start delving into the alchemy of the wizarding world recorded in my Grimoire…. Yeah, I will have to start reading about this too.
Then there's enchanting, artifact creation, and numerous other methods, but I think I'll start with wards first. It's the easiest and most available to me now.
And start I did. I went to the office room, opened the hidden compartment under the trapdoor, took out the ward stone, and disabled it.
Now comes the hard part: I don't have a new one, so I will have to permanently transfigure this one into a new circular disc shaped one. It will be annoying, but I regenerate magic very quickly, so I'll be fine.
Some might consider permanent transfiguration a myth in modern wizardry, but that's only because few can do it properly.
First of all, to transfigure something permanently, you need a significant amount of magic— I mean 4 to 5 McGonagall's worth of magic just to achieve permanent transfiguration.
Although now that I think about it, Transmutation might have been a better option, with a very low magical cost too, if only I knew what ward stones are made of and how they're constructed—but unfortunately, I do not.
Hmm… maybe I should try to create an identifying spell or perhaps an analysis spell? I'll think about that later. For now, focus!!
"Engorgio!" I cast an Enlargement spell on the ward stone, condensing pure magical energy in my index finger—which, by the way, made my finger feel like I had just dipped it in a mix of hot and cold water, and let's not forget the ticklish sensation too. It's very different from natural energy, but now is not the time to describe the differences. Focus!!
I began inscribing the Runic arrays I wanted. I linked them together, creating a visually impressive circle. Basic, but impressive.
There were five wards: a detection ward, a space-locking ward—which, by the way, was the hardest to create. I drew inspiration from the anti-apparition wards, although this one was designed to allow only my own teleportation circle to function within the ward's perimeter.
There are also weakening, draining, and incapacitating wards, which do exactly what the names suggest. The weakening ward is a curse turned ward that uses magic to physically weaken enemies. The draining one, on the other hand, drains anyone unregistered of their magic or life energy and store it. The incapacitating ward delivers the final blow and knocks intruders unconscious after they have been weakened and drained enough.
These five are linked in such a way that they form a basic circle, absorbing magic from the surroundings and enemies to store it inside the stone. It was a really nice ward scheme.
I can still upgrade these wards to an entirely new level, but then a problem arises: how to link them. I can't link them the way wizards do because the linking rune doesn't work. So it all boils down to knowledge; I don't have enough information about the runes used in this world.
I took a break and started browsing my Grimoire for some inspiration… ahem, stories, ahem.
I was lead into reading a story called "Dragon Ball", after reading a few chapters of it I came to the conclusion that—This one is far superior to the embarrassing show called "Drag-So-Ball" they have here— which I am still embarrassed about the young me liking it..…and just so you know my Grimoire rocks!!!! It knows just what to do and how to baptize me and lead me to the light that is "dragon ball" forever leaving the darkness.
Ahem, I might have lost it there for a bit but what I said is still true, 'dragon ball' is much better. The plot, characters, and everything were just great. It included aliens, gods, powers, technology, and didn't feature monkey yokais, devils, or overpowered humans.
Who are they kidding? Humans usually lack the potential, power, lifespan, or anything significant other than the fact that they can reproduce faster than other races. So who are they trying to fool?
I don't know who writes this anime nonsense, but he is definitely aware of the supernatural. You can see it in the way he panders to different races while ignoring the plot's relevance.
Anyway, the stories I have in here are numerous, so I can think of how to draw inspiration from them and create some powerful spells.
I was inspired to create either a Gravity ward or maybe a gravity alteration circle. I still couldn't quite work out the details yet. Though this was one of the first things I decided to create because it could benefit me greatly.
At first, I thought about weight-altering wards, but then my Grimoire skipped forward, showing me the parts about the gravity chamber and stuff, and I changed my mind. Even though the gravity ward is more challenging and harder to create, it will help me better. You see, I thought to myself, natural energy is passively strengthening me, but what if I exert myself harder? Will my body grow stronger faster? Even if it doesn't work, it will still be an incredible defensive ward…
Ugh… I shook my head in frustration while banging the floor with my fist. All of this is nice and all, but I don't have enough knowledge to bring my ideas into reality….
