Chapter 31: Casting
Logan’s pupils constricted into dots, his muscles tensed and he shook slightly.
’She must have had something to do with last night’s attempt.’ Logan’s eyes studied the slight smile on her lips hoping to find an affirmation to his suspicions but found none.
"The same goes for the rest of you. I trust all of your nights must have been uneventful. After all, you came to learn and as such should be duly devoted to that cause." She turned to the rest of the class.
"The last time we met, we briefly addressed the topic of Casting." She leaned against her table as she prepared for the day’s lesson.
"There are in essence four types of casting: Normal casting, Silent casting, Body casting, and True casting." She raised a finger for each casting she mentioned.
"The first is what we are all familiar with. Normal casting involves casting spells by using hand signs accompanied by the appropriate incantation. Take this as an example." Her hands formed archaic symbols as her mouth weaved together incantations.
A net of lightning left her hand and dispersed in the air, filling it with the strong smell of ozone.
"The next is more complex. True casting involves using only your mind to cast your spell." She paused before resuming.
"Think of it this way. Every time you cast a spell, your mana reacts in a particular way to execute the spell. Silent casting involves you manually controlling your mana to react in that way to achieve the same effect." She explained to the best of her ability.
"So you cast the spell without actually casting it. Hence it’s called Silentcasting." She completed but decided to give a visual description.
She lifted her palm and a similar net left its surface without her uttering a word.
