Resting up and Magic

When I wake up and stretch im reminded why im probably going to be resting for at least a few days as a spike of pain shoots through my leg. I rest myself against the wall next to my bed and think of what I could do for the next couple days as my leg heals enough to move.
I remember that during race selection it told me that Kitsune have skills with magic and feel excitement rise in my chest. I pull up my stat block and see Basic Illusion magic and Basic Fire magic on my list of skills. It doesn't tell me how to use them, but I have plenty of time to learn on my own. Fire magic wouldn't be safe to cast indoors without burning something, so I decide to focus on the illusion magic till im out of here.
For the next hour or so I try to test out ways to cast spells, but most just amount to me thinking to hard and staring at my hand, like im trying to move something with my mind, and it makes me feel really stupid when I see my Spell List doesn't have any spells to even cast yet. I guess the skill just means I will have some proficiency with it when I do cast it... Ill just have to create my own spells then.
I imagine that Illusion magic is mostly just using light to trick the senses, at least on a basic level, so I try to think about what makes up light and how magic might be able to influence, and before I know it light starts to form in the palm of my hand... and then explodes in a flash, hurting my eyes and making my ears ring...

Congratulations: New spell Flash Bang has been added to your spell list!

Well... that sucked but at least I got a new spell, it should be useful for combat if I can find a way to not be effected myself... maybe ill just use it if im ambushed like with the wolf, as a escape measure.
I try for the rest of the day to create more illusion spells. It seems that several of the spells I try to make are to advanced for the skill I have, so the only spells I manage to create are:

Basic Illusion spell "Minor Illusion" has been added to your spell list.
Basic Illusion spell "Silent Image" has been added to your spell list.
Basic Illusion spell "Illusory Script" has been added to your spell list.[

So that is 4 spells in total I have to work with. By the end of the day I am feeling exhausted, the constant use Mana to create these spells and test them has left me depleted, there were several times I had to take a break to let it recharge but it seems that im at my limit for the day.
The next day I wake up and have a morning wood, so I conjure up an illusion of Raven, the lady from the apothecary, and take care of business before starting my day.
Today and the next go about the same way, spending the day resting and casting my illusion spells to try and get better at it, which results in two thing:

Basic Illusion Magic LV.1 has evolved to LV.2
New Skill "Illusion Magic Novice" Obtained

Illusion Magic Novice:
Spells of the Illusion Magic school cost 10% less Mana to cast

I'm happy about the new skill so I decide to spend the rest of the day relaxing so that I can hopefully carry on with my adventure starting tomorrow.
