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.
Resonance detected with Loner’s Companion.
Loner’s Companion has developed the enchantment {Titan’s Tome}.
Loner’s Companion has had its durability significantly increased and can now regenerate durability.
Pages can be written on with earth mana.
Resonance with Bloodline Trait and spell Miner’s Lantern detected. Bloodline trait: [Miner] Unlocked Miner You have a natural knack for mining. Mana remnants converted to trait: [Pele’s Hair] Your hair becomes a naturally occurring glass fibre.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan
