《Path of the Invincible Dragon》Chapter 28: Jua Motikatika

The Star System had 9 stars in total. A 3 star mage could be said to posses the innate capability of casting rank 3 spells as long as they have the knowledge. On the other hand, a 2 star mage who was also a rank 3 magician would not have the magical capacity to sustain rank 3 spells. These types of mages whose knowledge and skill exceeded their magic capacity would use things like magic crystals, wands, magic staffs, potions, etcetera to supplement their magic power and boost their magic levels.

When it came to magic, it was harder to increase one’s magic capacity compared to magical knowledge but most magicians would try to advance them at the same time. Only a few monstrous geniuses were born with their magic capacity already high. When it came to Mwana, he only had a low level 2 star magic capacity at the time. It was better than those with 1 star magical capacity but nowhere enough to make him talented in magic. As for his magic rank, he was just a Magic Pupil like the rest of the students.

As the class’ resident witchdoctor, Motikatika was always ready to lay down a curse at any time as long as there was a valid reason and he received a request. “There is someone who will lay an egg here today, haiya!” Some people thought he would first say some convincing words to get the thief to confess but he had already started pulling strange things from his sack to start the spell.

“Let’s do this pronto, I must make someone lay at least 3 chick-, no! at least 4 chicken size eggs today!” Although he genuinely enjoyed setting up curses, it also seemed like this was a form of training for him too. His limit had always been 2 chicken sized eggs.

A lot of the children were already excited watching him lay out the strange things including feathers, chicken legs, a ball of fur, some ugly plants and even weird bones. While Witchdoctors and Magicians both used the same source of power, the means they used it was different. Witchdoctors as their names suggested, were a cross between Witches and Doctors thus they had much stranger and weirder methods. Their medical knowledge was also extremely high rivaling that of Healers, Medicine-men and Herbs-men. In comparison, magicians could be said to be those who used magic in a standard and by the book manner.

Jua Motikatika, in particular was a strange boy. He wasn’t originally from Jua village. He was a ‘seedling’ his father left behind when he was frolicking while travelling around the Kingdom of Toro. For the first five years of his life, his father never knew of his existence. He was born in Mrogi village which was a strange place rumored to have contact with ogres, the Amanani. Motikatika had been promised to an ogre when he was young probably due to his high magic capacity which would make him a delectable snack for the Amanani once he grew further.

After that ‘promissory ceremony’, both sides of his head were shaved and he was branded with the ogre’s mark granting him some of its abilities but also acting as a tracking device. The ogre’s power within him would act as fertilizer in a farm boosting the growth of his magic so that the ogre would have a bountiful feast once it found him in the future.

Luckily for him, his father had found out he had a son through divination and taken him back to Jua village. At that time Motikatika was just 6 years old. He always wore a set of large beads around his neck which worked to counteract the ogre’s tracking spell. This was not a weak Ogre like what Jua Waya faced but a powerful high-ranked Amanani, the Two-faced Ogre prince.

After laying out the items in a star-shaped formation, Motikatika started chanting. Seeing things get serious, the culprit had no option but to come forward quickly to avoid falling victim to the witchcraft.
