“Before starting our lesson, I’ll ask you a question. Please be honest about it, it will save us a lot of time. How many of you were too tired to practice the spell on page 22 that I assigned two days ago?”

Nalear’s inquiry was followed by prolonged silence.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of, it happens every year. The first day is all about theory, so students get confident. The second day is all about practice and drains their energies. Take five minutes to study it, despite it being a tier four spell is very simple.”

Aside from Lith, Quylla and a few others, most of the students took out their books and read like madmen.

Lith used that time to practice it on the crystal mass. The spell was called Scope and turned out to be extremely similar to a diagnostic spell, but instead of showing the status of a patient, it allowed one to distinguish the single crystals that composed the mass.

Just like a mana blade, it hadn’t a set duration. Once cast, Scope would last as long as the mage kept spending mana, requiring the constant use of earth and light magic.

– “Invigoration doesn’t work on inanimate matter, yet it does on magic items and artifacts. I wonder how I should classify mana crystals.” – Lith thought while activating Invigoration.
