《Limitless》Chapter 10 - Choosing what path to go on!

Sorry for no chapters, pc fudged up.... Again. Also I think I'll slow down the release pace to what fits me atm, so I can increase the singular quality of the chapters instead of quantity.
Wess was currently sitting on his bed examining the spell. He had finally finished learning his spell and was allowed to rest for a month, during this time he had been asking and trying to figure out about how 'Light Burst' could be translated into a darkness type spell. He was nearing the end of his break and desperately wanted to figure out whether this spell was even able to change.
All spells could be split into two groups. These were translatable spells and non-translatable spells. Translatable spells were able to change into other elements. An example is 'Rain of Heat', with this spell you can make the sky spit down fire, or it could spit down burning hot water. Non-translatable spells could not because the spell required the element to function. An example of this was 'Rock Shift' where you could make a small rock lift up. You could make similar spells to this however they could not be considered the same, and so 'Rock Shift' was a non-translatable spell.
The move 'Light Burst' was a move where you would channel light into both your hands, and you would put your hand on top of the other with both having their palms facing where you would shoot. Then it would shoot a giant beam to where you are aiming, the distance was usually 3 meters on the first try.
The problem with converting this spell to darkness was that darkness and light are two completely different things. Darkness is the absence of light, while light is something that is just there. A lot of darkness type spells take darkness away from a specific area, and then use that darkness to form a specific object. This wouldn't work if there was no darkness and just light, however shadows were always following and this process didn't make the darkness go away. It was not like it disappeared, it was still there. This process was so quick that it couldn't even be measured, but it couldn't be extended. This is why darkness type mages used objects like swords and couldn't use things like charging beam attacks, they couldn't continuously take darkness from the world and so couldn't charge up.

Wess sighed frustratingly to himself as he thought of his current situation. He was required by an annoying girl to help 'shed her skin', and he didn't even know what that was! He also had a teacher who would stop at no lengths to make his student stronger, and there was also this completely useless spell!
"I wish I could have spells and pills given to me. If I did then there would be no need to train and I could just fight!" Thinking of multiple ways to come to use the spell was hard and nothing had worked, this discouraged Wess but he couldn't just give up after giving a month's worth of effort on something.
A serving girl came in and set food up, leaving most of the food on a giant platter. Wess salivated as he looked at the buffet and drool fell down the side of his lip. The serving girl laughed softly as she left the room and she bowed before exiting. Wess's face was a crimson red but this didn't stop him from devouring the food. In just 4 minutes, Wess had eaten everything. His stomach was bloated and his mind felt dizzy. He couldn't think straight and he thought ridiculous thoughts. He fantasized about that girl and himself, about him becoming the strongest and about him fucking figuring out how to use the spell!
Finally he slept from the tiredness and dizziness. While he slept he thought up plans. Wess's stubbornness and constant thinking had caused him to get a disease. This disease made it so that whenever Wess fell asleep he would still think about the things he was thinking of while he was conscious.
"When you think about it the problem is that it needs to be able to store energy or something of the sort to shoot. If I could sort that out then it wouldn't be that hard to figure out how to use the rest of the spell.

I could maybe try to form balls compressed with darkness, but then the problem is that it will go in all directions and would backfire. I also wouldn't be able to throw it as that would make it explode. Actually never mind, I would just have to form a cloth-like thing and cover it. The collision would naturally make it blow up.
I could try making a hard wall out of darkness to contain the energy and focus it into a straight line, however it'd be too easy to dodge as before the shot is fired the circular wall will have to be made. Then they can easily dodge.
There's also making the spell able to consume the surrounding mage essence. This would enable it to charge up energy as it wouldn't be taking from the darkness for an extended period of time. The problems with this was way too much. You would have to make something capable of consuming mage essence and using it, this included it having to be able to refine mage essence into the darkness type. It would also be harder to focus it into a straight line, because even though it's not alive and doesn't have thoughts, it still does have the urge to consume mage essence." Thinking long and hard on something was not Wess's style, the only exception was the god damn spell and so he started preparing to use this method. He estimated that it would take around a year of nonstop training, but he knew that it wouldn't be too hard to convince his master. The consequences would be the real problem.

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).
