《How I got Possessed By A Barrel Of Porn (Paused)》Chapter 15 : Smoke And Mirrors
Advertisement
Gyll fell backwards onto his bed. Kaber decided to have an early break today since they finished the platform bridges,
The demon appeared at his side, swinging her feet back and forward, sitting on the barrel.
"So, how'd it go?" Asked Mi,
"Well, aside from the fact I'm exhausted, it was actually a pretty good idea," said Gyll matter of factly.
"So, as for our agreement?" Mi inquired.
"Well, it's not like I have much of a choice, so I guess we have a deal." the man said with a sigh.
"Good," Mi jumped off the barrel and opened it, "Here, take this one," Mi said handing Gyll a book, as he looked at it, the previously obscene cover turned to a thick, leather-bound book cover with the title engraved in gold.
"What is this?" Asked Gyll flipping through the book's pages.
"It's a book of magic," Mi replied.
"Magic, so I'll be able to fly, or something?" asked Gyll intrigued but confused.
"Not exactly..." said Mi.
"Magic is a simple part of every-day life, any living object has at least one magic node, inanimate objects can develop nodes, or can have nodes created in them, a Human has on average twenty-six magic nodes, the number of nodes can change slightly, depending on the person." Gyll read out loud.
"Magic is usually defined as one of eight types.
> Elemental, this includes fire and air, as well as mixed elements such as steam and ice.
> Spiritual, this is a type of magic which lets one communicate, interact and potentially command spirits, demons and ghosts.
> Demonic, this is a type of magic which lets you command hellish demons, this type of magic often relies on life sacrifices and can easily backfire.

> Arcane, this type of magic can create, duplicate and erase manufactured items, such as food, weapons and even gold.
> Divine, this type of magic is the most common, and potentially the strongest, it relies on the belief of the user rather than mana to alter reality.
> Fleashweaving, this refers to using magic to heal, shape or even in some cases damage flesh directly.
> Cognimancy, this refers to the use of magic to alter one's perception of reality, for example, blindness, feeling imaginary pain, illusions.
> Nanomancy, this lets one use magic to change the characteristics of the physical world around us, usually in a small zone.
It is commonplace that humans have between one and three magic nodes capable of storing mana and therefore be capable of casting magic.
In order to find out what type of magic affinity you have, simply channel your magic energy into a crystal ball, and observer its colour."
Gyll read this, slowly getting more excited as he read on. He turned to Mi who was already holding a small crystal ball, "Alright! here I go!" Gyll yells as he points his hand at the crystal ball.
The room was filled with silence.
"What the hell are you doing?" Mi asked staring at Gyll.
"Well...isn't this how it works, I direct my m-" Gyll explained
Mi interrupted his explanation "No, get ready for hours of meditation." Mi said as he patted the floor with her hand showing Gyll where to sit.
