Chapter 45
"To study Pyromancy, a person must first learn to detach expelled E’er from their body. Otherwise they’d burn to ashes with the first spell cast. Most Wizard classes do the same. Warriors, however, don’t do that. The Way of the Warrior works in a completely different manner. E’er within you is not expelled, but directed to your body."
She took a bite of a small apple-looking fruit. I did too, it was sweet but felt sandy.
"However, The Rhak’Math View is the basis for all skills that have Aura effects. A lot of classes benefit from it. It is a very ancient method that influences living beings in various ways. Do you have any?" her eyes sparkled.
"Uh... yeah." my voice barely came out. "I have Initiation, Prevention, and Monster Hunter." I said after checking my skills.
"Mhm. I haven’t heard of Monster Hunter." she took another bite. "When you use an aura, it travels through the Bond. A Warrior bolsters their allies this way. Warcries are a different beast. You empower your vocal cords with E’er and it travels along with your voice. Do you have any?" I nodded. "The sound wave enters the target’s thorax and shakes their core, disrupting their internal flow of Life Energy. The other way is to shake their brains through the ear canal. Then, a wide field surrounds you, keeping the effect active."
"Okay." I nodded. I understood things so far.
"So, how does one learn a skill with an Aura effect?" she asked, I shrugged. "You first give E’er purpose, and then ’link’ transformed E’er through the Bond. When we give E’er purpose, we can bring about a variety of effects. I learned a skill called ’Solar Epitaph’, it has an Aura effect. I can summon a miniature sun that bolsters allies and inflicts enemies with different effects."
"You know that one?" Alyssa sounded impressed. "As expected of a master Wizard."
"Thank you." she took her hand and locked fingers, then turned back to me. "Do you understand so far?"
"Yeah. Kind of." I scratched my jaw.
"Warriors don’t deal with concrete Laws like Wizards or Clerics." Alyssa said while playing with Lapia’s fingers. "Your skills are mostly effects that influence your own bodies, knowledge of combat techniques, Auras, and Warcries."
