Ranking up my elemental magic after such a long time is a nice milestone and one that I'm super pleased about. What sort of delicious new spells will I gain access to? I've only very recently seen what dumping all of my gravity magic into a bomb can do, and whilst it's obviously mega powerful, I can only shoot one of them! I need other options and that was the whole reason I worked so hard on the basic elemental mana skills!

As the trickling sensation blooms in my brain I eagerly reach for the knowledge that is being created there, grabbing it in drips and drabs as the skill upgrades.

Oho! Some juicy things indeed!

And so many spells! New combinations of elements that I couldn't perform before! More potent, more destructive, more awe inspiringly DEVESTATING!

Muahahahhahaha!

Wait?! Is that the long suppressed resurrection of Dark Anthony? Down! Down you fiend! Back into the pit from whence you came!

Now. New magic, what can I do?

spell forms continue to take shape and I enjoy the process as they blossom into their final forms. Sometimes ranking up in magic just makes you better at it, helps you handle the existing spells and the construct better than you could before, but sometimes, like on this occasion, new spells come into play, but I didn't expect to see this many. I suppose it makes sense since I'm technically ranking up eight

with the sheer number of projectiles created with this spell, you never know. If I managed to compress the water mana before releasing it, the resulting ice may have more penetrating power than

much use of mud in the past, mainly because I felt it would be fruitless to slap something with wet dirt. Now that I think about it, there's probably a lot more applications than I had considered. Turning the ground beneath an enemy into mud? That's a classic! But now I can take it a step beyond. I can bury an opponent under a jet

to think of it, if I hit someone with mud, I can turn it stone basically any time I want. Ooo I think this one's going to be tricky. Quick thinking in a fight hasn't been my

Lava is cool as heck, I want to use more lava. And we combine it with, stone? It's already part stone. What do we do with it
