Sword God in a World of Magic

"No, the Equilateral Rune goes on top of the Trinominal Rune," Callen said as he pointed at two Runes inside a Magic Circle between Shang and him.

Shang rubbed the bridge of his nose in stress and started from the beginning again.

There was so much to remember and look out for!

It was like Shang had to do a complex equation while talking with someone and leading them to complete a yet unknown part of the equation.

He had to keep so many different things in mind.

He had to draw the Rune correctly, transform his Mana into just the kind of Mana he needed, precisely control the shape of his Mana, and even had to evoke certain emotions sometimes.

It took Shang several minutes to do the calculations for the Magic Circle every time, and when he finally started to draw it, some part of the equation always slipped his mind, vanishing into the aether.

It was so hard to keep all the information ready and finished while then doing something completely different.

It was like Shang had to play an instrument with his left hand and fight someone with his right while solving math equations in his head.

There was just too much different stuff at the same time.

They had already been at this for two weeks, and Shang hadn't even managed to finish one Magic Circle.

One had to remember that the Magic Circles Shang needed to draw would be different every time. One Magic Circle only corresponded to one specific change in one specific location in one specific Mana pathway.

If anything changed, the entire Magic Circle would change.

The more Shang learned about spellcasting, the more impressed he became.

The Mages were doing the same thing for their Spells, just in a different manner.

They created the Magic Circle in their mind, infused it with the right Mana and the right shape, and then had to actualize it.

And even when he managed to finish one, he would need several minutes to cast the next one.

Shang was essentially learning how to cast a Spell for the True Mage Realm, and in comparison to him, a True Mage could do all of that in less than a second.

It was brutal.

However, he was making progress.

He was practicing one of the Magic Circles over and over again, and he eventually managed to finish it three weeks after he started learning.

"Well, you might be a complete newbie when it comes to Spellcasting, but your progress is still quite impressive, considering your starting position," Callen said with a smile.

Shang rubbed the side of his forehead in exhaustion.

This was more exhausting than fighting a Mid High Mage.
