Chapter 11: Realization
It was a very complex task to create an artifact that was capable of enhancing ones magical power.
The basic concept was to have a artifact absorb the mana that one was going to be utilizing in their spell and have it strengthened by the mana already residing within the artifact.
Such artifacts normally have the form of a wand, but in this case Cades was planning on creating it in the form of a ring due to a Lack of Materials.
The task was resolved even quicker than the process of making the sword and cades soon wore a dark violet ring which would allow him to better focus his magic power and even prepare some spells in advance by carving their sequences onto the "wand" itself, using that very "wand" as a medium to instantly utilize these few specific spells.
Cades had carved some simple but useful spells onto his "wand", namely a powerful telekinesis spell, a fire spell and a freezing spell, the same that he used on the thomiside, it was a spell that cools down the surrounding air to temperatures far below freezing.
After all of that Cades took a break and simply laid down for a bit on the dirt ground to get some actual sleep instead of just being unconscious.
As he came to a rest he finally realized... everything.
There was no denying it anymore.
It was all gone, everything he had achieved.
He had been in a shocked state but now he found himself suffering.
As he laid there, on the cold dirt floor, under the roots of the ancient goliath tree he didn't think about revenge, he didn't think about anything.
