Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang and Astor talked for quite a while. Since Astor now viewed Shang as someone on his level, he had many questions about how Shang managed to hunt so many powerful beasts.

The same thing was true for Shang. He was interested in how Astor was able to be so powerful while having a Water Affinity.

Water Affinities were only good for healing. That was how everyone viewed them.

They had nearly no offensive capabilities.

They had nearly no defensive capabilities.

A Water Affinity was essentially only good for healing.

However, Astor managed to make his Water Affinity work. Even more, there were advantages to Astor's Water Affinity that he couldn't even show in training.

For example, Astor could gather his Water Mana to a part of his body and rapidly heal that part. During class, this power was useless since no one got injured very often.

Having a Water Affinity wasn't as useful as having a warrior's body when it came to healing, but it definitely was better than having any other Affinity.

A warrior's body healed the body automatically by directly converting Mana. A Water Affinity would need to actively be manipulated to heal the correct place, which would take time, concentration, and more Mana in total.

Of course, the tradeoff was that a warrior's body basically made it impossible to have much control over one's Affinity, to begin with.

Advantages and disadvantages.

"Is Mattheo also here?" Shang asked.

"No," Astor answered. "Mattheo is with the Mage Academy."

"The one north of the northeastern forest?" Shang asked. He had learned a lot during the last two weeks.

"Yes, that one," Astor answered.

"That's also where Duke Whirlwind lives, right?"

"Correct," Astor said. "Duke Whirlwind wouldn't want his son to be here during the Day of Chaos. After all, it isn't only the Storm Eagle Zone that goes through it."

Shang nodded. "The Empress Cobra also leaves on this day, right?"
