Chapter 20: Magic Circle
Today was a big day for Noctis; he was finally going to conjure his first magic circle.
Lira was on standby, ready to help if something were to go wrong. He had been cramming up on the theory for weeks, and its been over a month since he began to learn the way of the sword and marksmanship under his aunt.
Enough of that, taking a deep breath, he remembered the process of conjuring a magic circle.
The weeks of studying various E-rank spell structures and magic spells starting with E-rank, F and E-rankers are able to use these spells.
He was going to try the spell structure for a Lightning spell called Lightning Arrow.
It was a two-layered spell, the outer layer consisting of UFS for the Zephyr resonance, and then he constructed the inner circle, which has the spell structure for the lightning arrow.
Having completed the first step, he pointed his finger straight ahead at a target 20 meters away.
The mana flowed from his core to the tips of his fingers, and a faint purple mana started to form the magic circle he had constructed in his head.
The magic circle finished forming within a few seconds, completing the second step.
The third step requires him to either go straight for the fourth step or add a few additional changes to the magic circle.
For example, he can change the spell's paralyzing potency effect, its speed or make it split into two arrows midway.
