Magical Engineering

The next day was spent packing as many calories as I could while I laid on the couch at the outpost and during the ride back to the archives. The brothers had dropped me off in bed with a giant selection of foods and a promise to check up on me the next day. I once again had no idea what I would have done without them. Our chance first meeting was turning into one of the most important events of my life.

I had just finished my second roast chicken when I decided my core had enough energy to unlock Sling, and while I likely had enough for Lesser Regeneration as well, there was no sense in wasting the mana until I had my bones into the proper places before I turned it on. I put four of my pending skill points into it as well, bringing it up to five ranks. Immediately, I felt some relief as a meshwork of mana formed around both of my legs, with a much stronger presence on my right one. The pain was in no way gone, but it felt like the bones were no longer grinding against each other for the moment. A new System message popped into my view.
