"Health align with the axis. Magic flow along the ordinates, Life! Live! Embrace!" a shimmering white light coordinate themselves within the magical circle on the floor. Vin could observed the awkward movement of the still-stiff golem in the center of the ritual.
Last night, he have a long conversation with Vriv and Dev about nature of Mana, Vin offered them chance to become a humanoid golem but retaining their original memory. Of course Vriv and Dev were excited, and the news spreading like wildfire to other Mana. Lots of them were literally hogging him demanding to be included.
Vin agreed to a certain condition.
Because the retained memory, the golem body were unstable and a ritual were needed to stabilize the golem body. Vin used the store that he won from the tournament (which story for another time) as the base of the ritual. The ritual were needed to be made permanent by permanency spell. Which require lots of mana. However it no longer concern, since there were lots of volunteer.
Next, he need to create a golem body as a base, because of course no single mana could possibly move the golem body around, they agree to form 8-stack mind hive, personality meld, that would change the head personality every week or so.
Secondly, for expressing their gratitude, the mana agreed to work for Vin for certain amount of times.
And coincidentally, Vin just were in need for employee in his brand new alchemical store, Vival Pharma. With only 4 times workday a week, the mana agreed it's were a win-win situation. And since mana were lived since the beginning of time and most often used by magician and alchemist alike. Vin literally have a big book of everything in Alchemy. All the recipe that needed mana were known by.. well... the mana.
And they have no qualm to tell Vin all about it.
Which is perhaps made Vin the most successful alchemist in the whole royal road.
And perhaps the richest, well, at least, soon-to-be richest.
