Oberon fell back onto the tree branch as the orb shattered, the spell breaking apart in his hands and disappearing as he was hit by a sudden wave of fatigue and yet another headache. It would seem that he was a little too early to try something like that yet; he’d had a feeling it was ambitious to try and create an elemental when he was still a relatively weak being in this world, but he just couldn’t help but want to try and put his ideas into practise.

And it had been working for a moment there, he was sure of it. The rings around the orb and the spokes, the spinning, not to mention the fact that the entire structure had gotten more complex with each passing word. His chant had been doing something, his spell had been doing something, but he’d run out of mana before he could finish. He would have to wait until he reached a higher level and increased his mana reserves before he tried again, or perhaps find a way to restore his mana as he was performing the ritual; he just wished he knew how close he had been at the end.

When the spell had broken apart a number of system messages had appeared in front of his eyes, which he focused on now. He had two new skills, which was useful; first he has the Spell Chant skill that he was trying to emulate alongside a skill that let him focus in order to increase the power of a spell. Both skills would certainly be useful, especially Spell Chant, but at their current level they took far too long to use, especially Focus; 30 seconds to empower a spell was ridiculous just to save a little mana, in fact he could probably restore the extra mana it would cost to use the higher level version of a spell in less time. Spell Chant was better and let him modify more than just the power of a spell; at 10 seconds it still wasn’t useable in combat but it would be very interesting to see what kind of modifications he could create with it.

The other message informed him that he had a status called Mana Burn. It wasn’t surprising given just how much power he had poured into that experiment that he would suffer some backlash from it. The fact his mana regeneration was slowed by the effect was a pain, and he could guess that the best way to recover from it was to not use any mana as well meaning he was all but done with experiments for the day. At the moment the Sprite was tired enough that this thought didn’t bother him overly much; right now all he wanted to do was sleep anyway.

He wanted to fall asleep right where he was, laying down on the branch of a tree high above the forest floor and with the sun shining directly onto him, but the idea of being exposed to anything and everything that could fly but a damper on that. He picked himself up and began flying back down to the ground, descending one branch at a time lest his tired wings give out on him. Once he was back on solid ground he headed straight for the shelter, passing by Ash and Reoth before finding the place he had slept the night before and collapsing.

Before he passed out he wanted to check one thing however. If he had been on the right track with his experiment then he should have something to show for it in his skills, even if it was still incomplete. [color=f49ac2]"Open Skills tab.”[/color]

Once he had read over the information the system gave him, Oberon fell asleep.
