More skill progression and a new level of Magic Analysis, it seemed that Oberon’s efforts were bearing fruit but so far, his experimentation had yet to complete the ‘Light Ring’ spell. As far as form went he felt that the spell was complete, he’d allowed the ring to stretch as far as it seemed to want to before holding it in place, so why hadn’t the skill completed? Did he just need more experience, or had he tried to use the spell in the incorrect manner? Would skills only complete once they were put into practise appropriately?

The Sprite took a moment to gather more of the sun’s energy for another attempt, closing his eyes and focusing on the feeling of it on his skin. When he was mediating earlier he had tried to open himself up to allow the mana to flow into him more easily. His attempts to do the same for the sun’s rays seemed to be less effective yet he tried again anyway. Perhaps he was simply limited by how much he was exposed to.

Once he felt he had gathered enough power for a second attempt Oberon went through the same process again, forming a Mana Orb with light and watching as it began to glow and coruscate with a shimmering aura. This time he used Mana Shape to manually form it into a ring shape rather than letting it form naturally, hoping that by having a greater hand in the process he would gain more experience. When the ring was complete again, being about as wide across as it was before, he held it between his hands and used Magic Analysis on it again, wondering if perhaps now that the ‘Light Ring’ was fully formed he might be able to see more information about it.

He still didn’t know what kind of spell it was. If using the spell appropriately was what he needed to do to complete it then not knowing what it was for or how to use it was a bit of a problem. Given that it was created from the Mana Orb spell it was likely some kind of attack, probably a ranged one, but why was it a ring and not just another orb? Was it supposed to go around the enemy? Would it shrink and bind itself around them if it did? Or was it simply a projectile? If that was the case, then would he need to use it on another creature before it would activate?

Hesitantly, Oberon closed his hands around the ring, holding it like one would a steering wheel. If it was a projectile, then perhaps it was meant to strike with the outer edge. Letting go with one hand Oberon held the ring to his side and flung it like a frisbee and the next nearest tree, the ring spinning as it left his hand.

He felt like an idiot.

Regardless of if it worked or not Oberon decided it was time to head back. His short scouting trip and turned into a mini training session before he could stop himself. As he lowered himself down to the ground he could hear Ash calling out to him and Mourningstar. [color=f49ac2]“Sorry, I got distracted. We definitely went north from the cave; the smoke trail from earlier is further south now. I didn’t see much aside from what might be a river to the north.”[/color]

Standing near Ash was… well from his face it looked like Digbie ,but clearly he had gone through a few changes since he had last seen him. As always when confronted with something new Oberon used Magic and Monster Analysis on the Demigoblin. [color=f49ac2]“Well, you look different. How long was I gone for?”[/color]
