Together with the others Oberon helped move the supplies Ash and Torrent had gathered back to their hideout, the points he had put into Lesser Flight and Faster helping to speed things along somewhat. Even so, the multiple trips back and forth wore him out and by the time they were done the Sprite was beginning to regret his choice of starting creature; what he gained in magical ability came at the cost of having a body that was small and physically frail. In the future he may need to look into ways to increase his size or strength, or maybe he should take the time to finally learn the telekinesis ability the Wisp had shown him back in the cave.

Once they were settled in again Ash left almost immediately, asking them not to bother her unless it was important. Oberon was curious what the standoffish Pygmy Drake was working on, but asking her didn’t seem like a wise idea at the moment; he’d ask her later, if he got the chance.

Instead he turned towards the others, Digbie and Torrent, eager to share with them the discoveries he had made while he had been alone in the camp. [color=f49ac2]“While you were gone I think I found a way to make spells of each element in a fast and simple way. It looks like plain Mana has an easy time absorbing the qualities of whatever’s around it, so if you hold a Mana Orb near to something like the stream and try to draw it into the Mana Orb, it’ll change the Orb to that element. I’ve started work on spells for water and air and I’ve already made a spell out of light.”[/color] He had no idea if this was something that the other two would be interested in, especially Torrent, but he was excited to have made a breakthrough that helped clarify his understanding of magic in this world and if it helped them to understand it as well then they should know.

It occurred to him that he didn’t know much about the people he was currently with or what their lives were like before this world; he was fairly sure Digbie was younger than him, by a lot actually, but nothing more than that. Ash on the other hand felt a lot older and Torrent… well, it would take a while to unpack the implications of what she had said about not knowing how old she was, or how throwing herself at threats was all she knew how to do.

[color=f49ac2]“I’m going to go back to what I was doing before; the more elements we can use the easier time we’ll have during fights in the future. You’re both welcome to join me.”[/color] With that Oberon broke away from the pair, heading back towards the stream and kneeling down at its bank. Water had been easier to work with than air had been, so he would focus his efforts here first.

He created a Mana Orb in his hand and quickly submerged it in the flowing waters, closing his eyes and trying to feel rather than see what was happening. Repeating what he had done earlier he tried to draw the water into the Mana Orb, absorbing the element into the unaligned Mana and changing its elemental nature in the process.
