The balance that Walker had needed when fusing the light and darkness elemental manas was not a huge requirement for the earth and fire. If there was more fire elemental mana he found that the earth would become more liquid. If there was more of the earth elemental mana he found that the earth would slow and have more heat before beginning to become lava.

This was an interesting occurrence that guided him to the realization that he could manipulate the two at the same time in the same way he did water if he had the right balance of elemental manas.

Walker decided to use the space in front of him to continue his experimenting. He isolated a portion of the stones and dirt to gather more and more of the earth elemental mana. This caused it to solidify more and more in to a very condensed circle of stone.

Next, he pulled on the fire elemental mana left from the day that heated many of the surrounding rocks. He also pulled a great deal from the campfire he and his party had started. Before he knew it he had done so to such a degree that he had left the campfire a pile of smoldering ash.

In front of him, there was a quickly changing sight. The Earth that had been condensed in to a stone like substance was turning red and orange. Before long it had become white and seemingly melted. This brought the substance in to a molten churning hole of lava. Walker had managed to create this in the course of an hour using e decent amount of mana.

He could feel the heat in front of him nearly burning his skin but he held on through the pain to experiment more.

'The skill fire resistance has been taken from the magma hound system. The user has automatically learned the passive skill fore resistance due to their prolonged exposure to fire elemental mana.

Fire resistance- passive

The user can more easily survive within an area with high fire elemental mana and heat. This will prevent the user from becoming burned easily and overheating. This also prevents the user from overheating. The users' skin also gains the ability to touch and hold hotter materials'

Walker wasn't paying attention to the system but did notice the sudden coolness instead of heat. This prompted him to add more and more fire elemental mana. But this was not the end of his experiment. He wanted to test if he could fuse this pool of lava with an existing skill. One, in particular, was almost calling out to him.

He used the trench skill underneath the pool of lava he had made and opened his eyes to watch the earth split and the lava fill it. This result made a rectangular hole in the ground filled with lava. It radiated the heat that could burn away anything that fell within and Walker could tell that he could easily manipulate it if he desired.

His testing of the skill and the lava creating seemed to go hand in hand and when he pushed the lava to grow it started to pull more of the fire elemental and earth elemental mana towards itself of its' own volition. Walker could feel it rising from deeper in the earth to meet the pool he had made.

With a slight shake beneath the ground, Walker felt something click in to place as the tranch widened and the lava inside started to bubble. He knew that he had made something that could defeat string opponents if they were to fall in. But more importantly, he could feel that he had the control to make this happen much faster.

'The user has taken two skills from the volcanic lord system. The skill lava manipulation and the skill lava fissure have been learned automatically.

Lava manipulation- cost dependent on user action.

The user can freely manipulate lava as if it were water flowing through a stream. The actions the user takes to change and shape the lava will cost greater mana the more the action requires movement. The user must expend mana to retain the heat and solidarity of any shapes made. The more fluid the lava is allowed to be the less mana it will take due to the less control available to the user.

Lava fissure- 15 mana cost.

The user calls to the earth and fire elemental mana deep within the earth. They answer in a brutal burst of lava that splits the earth and creates a deep fissure full of lava. This lava will last for an hour before cooling and the fissure will collapse upon itself. Any and all things that fall within will be subject to the high temperature and churning lava.'

Walker could feel that these things were like second nature. He freely used his mana to cause the lava within the trench to move side to side like small waves. He even was able to make smoldering spikes of lava that burst on contact when he had the air elemental mana push them in to a nearby rock.

'The skill lava lance has been taken from the natural magma golem system. The user has automatically learned the lava lance skill.

Lava lance- 5 mana or 20 mana (dependent on the situation.)

This skill is only able to be used when the user has the lava manipulation skill. The user can freely use existing lava to create a lava lance and fire it through the air. If there is no existing lava the user must take longer to form the lava lance and attract the elemental mana needed. This will come as a higher mana cost. The lava lance will burst on contact and cool, leaving the target burned and also partially bound by cooling molten stone.'

Walker was overjoyed seeing these skills. He was about to test more when he noticed a few sounds behind him. He looked back at the entire party awake and watching him with careful looks.
