Newton’s Binding
This spell seems like a fragment of a larger complex branch of ancient higher magic.
But alone it is just a very small piece. I’m sure you’re used to that.
While touching 2 objects or surfaces, that are in contact with each other, link them together with a force that would take Elder Gods to separate!
Force works on the scale:
Light pressure-------------------Elder God
Only 1 link may be maintained at any time, when a new link is formed the previous will dissipate.
Core Trait creation forced by stabilisation and restructuring.
Core Trait created through fusion of items:
The Greater Principles of Geomancy by Archmage Holmezephus
And:
Crest of the Druid
Core trait created: {[Sleeping Giant]}
This Core trait was created through the resonance of a Greater Artefact rated Grimoire of Earth which granted [Terrain Manipulation] and a High Earth Affinity. The Crest of a Journeyman Druid of the Order of the Verde granting nature mana regen and the [Green Man] skill. Lastly an Unknown Blessing.
The resulting trait benefits are as follows:
The longer the user stays in one area, the greater the mana efficiency of the user’s skills, spells and traits while in that area, decreasing mana cost (only nature or earth aligned). ‘Area’ can be defined as any space with clear boundaries however the larger the area the longer it will take for the mana efficiency to increase. When the user crosses the boundaries and leaves the area the effect resets. The cap is 25% mana cost.
As the user falls asleep they may choose to possess the land within the region defined as ‘Area”. While possessing the land the user may cast [Terrain Manipulation] an unlimited number of times.
[Terrain Manipulation] is a spell that allows for the manipulation of the all matter composing the lands surface within sight of the caster. ‘Lands surface’ being defined as the natural top layer of the planet’s surface to a depth of 100 metres.
Alert! Thread and cover of, The Greater Principles of Geomancy, have left behind remnants of mana.

Loner’s Companion has had its durability significantly increased and can now regenerate durability.
Pages can be written on with earth mana.

Wild Child
Flynn was a normal college student with a normal routine. Wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, laze around until midnight, lay in bed trying not to let the existential dread of inevitable death set it, and go to sleep. Completely normal stuff, really. That is until he mysteriously wakes up in a space between dimensions with game-like prompts demanding he purchase skills before he is sent off to another world. And look at that, it only takes 95% of his skill points to buy the [Eternal Youth] skill, what a steal! Too bad that in this new world there is no civilization, uh… anywhere. ---------------- Hey all, this is just a side project I’m working on in my spare time so I don’t get burned out while writing my more planned out stories. I’m making all of this up as I go on, so read at your own risk.

Those who oppose the rulers in this world shall be persecuted and entitled evil, for they might shatter the false peace established. There never will be true peace, only coexistence. For to live is to devour; To devour is to deplete that which is consumed. This is the fact of life. What makes a Hero? Who deems what deeds be called 'Heroic'? Saving the world? Being chosen by a God? Unbelievable Power and Skill? Spirit of Self-sacrifice? Or Devotion and Bravery? Who knows? Our protagonist shall play the part, starting over again to correct her mistakes. Pit against the tides of fate, struggling to change the future. Her nemesis, victim of a cruel life and the irresponsibility of adults. Sights set on revenge, now he crawls his way back, looking for blood. Watch the contest between wits and brawn, as they fight their way up to victory. In the end, who will prevail? Noble or Peasant? The Hero or the Devil? Mortal versus Immortal. This is a story of Sin, a tale of Trust, a novel of Nobleness, and a chronicle of Magic. ~ fin ~ "I will write my way into another life." - Ann Patchett - Hello everyone~!!! ~(???)/~ Ballisti here. I hope you had a good time reading! This is my very first book, but I've spent quite the time writing and editing this. So I'm a tad bit confident with this. Sadly, I'm only able to put up 2 chapters weekly. The reason is...I'm still a student. School is hard, annoying and a hassle but necessary. So I'm really sorry for the slow updates, but please bear with me~!(?-?-?) I hope you enjoy reading this ('cuz I sure as hell had so much fun writing this ( • ??•? )). Thanks~!
