Chapter 6 by WhiteFeathers WhiteFeathers

How long does this little dragon sit on this thought?

All night.

The world and I am at peace, the world and I slept yet was awake. The world and I communed and then I was punted and had to take flight before I died drowning or burning into ash in the lava lake.
Blinking I looked around and noticed that it was day and everyone one was outside lounging in the sun and pretty much ready to be killed by any passing by heroes that needed to level up their skinning. You really are partially insane when the beings closest to you gets skinned and the only thing you think of when seeing that is if you remembered to get dinner for yourself.

I quickly relocated myself into the cave which was my home and location of the egg nests, where I found breakfast lying there waiting for me, three dead rats. Eating them quickly enough before trying to find Ruby and ended up finding her trying to break open a odd looking nut with her teeth.

"Thiali-" Ruby stopped talking and spit out the nut and glared at it before actually turning to me, "Finally woke up?"
"I was meditating and getting a better understanding of myself, I wasn't sleeping."
My insistence got a odd look from my friend whole looked at me up and down, "Yet your not tired at all, how come?" I opened my mouth to reply before it slowly closed when I couldn't think of a reason why I wasn't dead tired, "You don't know?" I nodded, "Was it atleast worth it?"
"I'm pretty sure that it was... oh hey things changed and suddenly I've got a new thing."

"So all I got to do is meditate and I get more better at magic?" questioned Ruby as she saw my progression.
"Pretty much, oh hey look just by moving mana through my body I even got a skill... and one more for outside of it." I noted and smiled at Ruby who just groaned and sat down to meditate, "Also you've got to meditate while concentrating on your Mana to get better understanding of it."
I just got another groan as my answer from Ruby as I looked over my two new abilities.

[Magic:
Magical Reinforcement LV1: Channel mana into certain parts of the body to gain buffs for as long as you can keep channeling that mana - Casting Cost of 10 mana and uphold cost of 5 mana/minute - Adds 25% of Base Intelligence to the stat allocated with the body type where mana is being channeled.
Channel Barrier LV1: Channel mana out of the body into a shell around the body for protection against attacks for as long as you can hold it- Casting Cost of 20 Mana and Uphold cost of 15 Mana/minute - Damage reduces Mana by Total Damage *2.0. Physical Damage reduced this way isn't effected by Toughness, Magical Damage reduced this way is affected by Resistance*2.]

They were handy to have, but currently without anyone to actually test it with as everyone else beyond other whelps were far too strong for me and Ruby to take on, even if we could use sneaky tricks or the area around us, they were just too high of a level.
I looked over my abilities and looked at my two attack spells and wondered if I could add more elements to them, and knew that I could, but what would that make the difference then?
[Moonflame Shot has been looked through and has given a root spell, Wing Shot.]
[Petty Fire Dragon Breath has been discovered to be a Root Spell.]
[Root Spells can be augmented with different elements to create variants. Per element the Mana Cost increases and elemental effects alter with certain combinations of elements.]

I took a look at Wing shot and noted it was true, 50 mana for Minor damage. Adding Lunar Energy and Fire Energy had increased it to 200, reduced to 100 when in moonlight. It was possible for it to cost nothing when using Lunar Shot during the night, but I couldn't test that now.

But what could I test?

What to do with this day which is much like every other?
