Chapter 160: Shopping

‘Shit.’
Percy only knew the concealment and pocket runes, but the latter didn’t even work without space mana, nor had he practiced them much.
The book on the concealment runes that Gabe had lent him had contained other variants besides the “general” one he was using. Though most of those involved specific mana types that he didn’t have access to. For example, there was a variant that needed fire and air mana – emulating the light affinity – which turned an object dim. Supposedly, that was the cornerstone of more complex enchantments to even turn something translucent. There were even some variants using fire or water that could be used to hide an object’s heat signature – achieving the same result via different principles.
In any case, most of that had been useless for him, either because he lacked the corresponding affinities, or because the effects didn’t particularly interest him. If he wanted to get through this wave, he’d have to learn some new enchantments.
