《In Harry Potter with OTS System》CHAPTER 3 – Finally, real spells!

*LOGAN’S POV*
Four years have passed, and it was hell. Really. I never thought it would be that hard to train my ML using such a low-level spell. I mean. I know Lars said it won’t be that easy… But never I thought it would be this hard…
Though I guess that taking into account the fact I’m in a place with almost no magic around, and that I’m using the lowest possible spell, and that there’re other ways to train ML such as hunting, fighting other wizards and stuff, training like this isn’t the most optimum way.
Apart from using Exura Infir, I could also start using another spell, but… It wasn’t anything much. I basically tested every possible combination that came to my mind. Well, mostly with offensive spells, the one I could discover was Exori Infir Vis, which’s basically a small zap with electricity. Not enough for hunting big things. But enough to stop someone from hitting you, not that I tried, mind you.
Also… Something funny that I learned here. The effect your ML has over your spell is easy to see.
In the game, while it did increase the damage, it wasn’t as visible as here. When I got to ML 8, I tried Exori Infir Vis and noticed that the spark that it made was a little bigger, and I could feel it being stronger. Something that would be able to knock out any muggle teen for a moment. Not that I tried it on someone.
Well, getting back on track. Now I’m 5 years old. And apart from being at the appropriate age to “go to school”. I actually got my Magic Level to 8. This means, now I’m able to use proper spells.
What spells would you ask? Well. Let’s start with proper healing, a light one, but proper indeed. That is. Exura. Quick class. 'Ex' Being the syllable of "Instant action" and 'Ura' being the syllable to indicate "heal". So, it could be translated to "Instant heal", which is basically what it is, an instant spell to lightly heal oneself.
But it’s not only healing. To the list of spells there’s also the find person spell or “Exiva”, the luminous spell or “Utevo Lux” and finally, the apprentice strike, or “Exori Min Flam” which is a more useful offensive spell that is like a weak fire missile. Though I still have to test it in this world. Not like I could actually do it inside the orphanage, or it would start a fire…

Also, apart from leveling my magic level, I also did a few quests most of them were about training or stuff, but nothing much. What was interesting was that I almost get the first 150pts to buy my Magic Spell Book. Which, for the moment, is my first priority when it comes to the store. I’m only 20 points short.
Now, back at the present.
“Now… Let’s see… Status.”-I murmur while inside my room, hoping to see something new inside the status screen now that I got my ML up to 8. And lo and behold. Just as I thought, something new did appear. Or well, almost new.

“…”
I basically have no words…
{I can understand the first one… Trying a new spell… Even the other one… If it wasn’t for that description… Really… Just what’s wrong with this system?}
“Oh, well, let’s go with the first quest…”-I said while looking towards the door. All closed. All these years I’ve done one thing right. Getting everyone away from me.
Really. Being in almost complete isolation, no kid wanted to play with me now, and after a few years, all the caretakers here just learned to leave inside my room with books. Well, everyone except for Isabella, but she usually comes to fetch to go to dinner or stuff like that, and maybe once or twice on the weekends to go out and walk a little.

With that said. Now I’m completely alone in my room. So, I just go under my blankets to hide from any source of light and immediately chant.
“Utevo Lux”
Just as I chanted, a small orb of light appeared over my palm, floating. But, weirdly, the system message alerting me of the completion of the quest didn’t come…
“What?”-I muttered unconsciously, still with the orb of light floating over my hand. “What did go wrong? I just had to use the spell? Right?”
Seeing as nothing happened. I quickly went to check the quest again.
- Test the limits of your imagination. Train your new spell Utevo Lux! (25pts.)
{Test the limits of your imagination… Train your new spell… Imagination? Train?}
In Tibia, a spell has a fixed function. It won’t change no matter how you write the spell, or if you do some kind of special action while using it.
{But… What if… Just… What if… Things worked differently here? I mean… I already noticed how the power of the spells went up the more my ML did. Like, an actual palpable difference…}
“Maybe… Spells weren’t fixed here… Maybe I could actually do different things with the same spell…”-I murmured, looking at the spell still bright in my hand.
“… Disappear…”-I said, in hopes of extinguishing said orb of light that constantly followed my hand. And indeed. Just as I willed it. The small orb of light disappeared from my hand. “Ho… This could be great.”
The reason why I was actually excited, is because you can’t make the spell disappear inside of the game. It has a fixed amount of time. It will automatically disappear once said time’s over.
But now. I willed it. So, this means, that the spells have mixed with the magic of this world. And that would actually explain the phrasing of the quest. It isn’t conjuring the spell only. It’s actually testing what I can do with it. Using my imagination.
“Utevo Lux”-I incantated again, but this time. I raised my right index finger in the air, focusing my attention on it while saying the incantation.
Immediately after. A small orb of light appeared right on top of my index finger. And each time I moved the finger, the orb would follow it. After a few moments, I started ‘writing’ in the air using the light’s afterimage. It was amazing. But I felt that it wasn’t enough.
“What if…”-I muttered, while pointing my index finger towards the next bed, thinking about the small orb of light going there. It did.
“Great!”-I shouted in a low voice. “This means that I’ll be able to do more things here than in Tibia…”
I understand why Utevo Lux is so easy to control. Once incantated, the spell would be passive magic that would allow you to illuminate things around you, without the use of constant mana. And this, here, translates into a really easy-to-use spell, able to move as you will and illuminate whatever you wish to.
“Now, it has become even more useful than lumus…”-I said while calling the little orb of light back and canceling it. Just in time for an alert message to appear in front of me.
[Congratulations! You’ve discovered the possibilities that this new world brings to you and your magic! Not limited by the laws of a small world, now you’re able to create the path to true sorcery!]
[25pts have been earned.]
“…”-I just stared at the message that informed me of the completion of the quest.
This now meant something. Not only did I discover new opportunities and possibilities. But I also got enough to buy my first magic book.
