It didn't take long for Leon to find some obstacles. He was trying to create a constant concept of magic, after all. In any case, now that he could manipulate space to some extent, that kind of application should be possible. Unfortunately, Leon was only good at destroying things with his mana, creating something out of nothing was also possible using Mind Summoning. Still, Leon had to understand the logic behind that very something. If that something is a living being, Leon would have to spend even more mana to keep the living being... alive. In any case, aside from offensive, defensive and support magic that Leon knew, the closest thing Leon could think of that could change the nature of something were the runes. Unfortunately, his knowledge about it was still small.
"Jertien said that he discovered a rune in Celsius' temple... maybe If I summon the version of her that was at level one after becoming my ally, she will be able to teach me a few things," Leon concluded. "Still, considering the nature of spirits, it would be weird if she manages to teach me something that isn't related to ice magic."
To create a shop like the one Ilyana made, Leon would have to build a magic box and then create a spell that would be connected to it even while the spell is inactive... That would be difficult, Leon didn't see anyone who could do that kind of thing aside from Ilyana, and he couldn't buy a tome to solve that problem. Maybe the dragonewt and the shadowy figure could use something like that, but Leon wouldn't be able to summon them.
"My best options are to summon the angel generals and Crik or someone who he does know since he and his men created a death star-like spaceship," Leon concluded.
Still, the chances of them knowing anything about conceptual magic were close to none. If they knew something so convenient, Leon wouldn't have defeated them... while Leon was thinking about that, he leveled up his old skills and now had to learn new ones.

Considering Leon's power, the best way for him to do that would be creating a familiar. However, that was something a bit scary... creating a living being that sole goal would be to help Leon was... unsettling. Although he had summons, replicas and could summon monsters from his memories, creating another existence was another thing altogether, even if that existence is being created by using a copy of his knowledge and life experience.
In the end, Leon decided to create a spirit that has the knowledge of spatial manipulation and divided the spirit in two. After that, he sealed both parts in armor and another in a magic box. Somehow, Leon succeeded in creating two items that had a connection without the need for a spell. That being said, even though the armor and magic box had a connection, Leon couldn't do anything with it. He could store things in that magic box, but only that.
"I guess I also need to copy some of my wills... If I copy the will to use potions whenever my mana is below fifty percent... then..." Leon rubbed his chin.
There was only one way to find out if that was possible, by doing it. In the end, Leon succeeded, and even better, the effects Leon added didn't cost him even a single bit of mana.
Steel Armor of the Rescuer
Auto-Potion Function: It uses the potions in the user's possession to restore the user's energy.
Condition: When the user's health, mana, or stamina are below fifty percent, one potion will be used per second
Durability: 180 days
"The durability is a bit weak since I used only half of a spirit, so it can't be helped," Leon nodded to himself. "Fortunately, the armor also recognizes the potion inside my magic boxes. So, it isn't half bad. In any case, I'm one step closer to create a talking sword."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeon had no intention of creating one, though. Regardless, since Leon had to make the potions, the process itself wasn't perfect. So, Leon tried to create another armor that has the same effects as Soul Eater. However, he failed because he wanted to make the armor drain mana from the ambient or meditate. Such skills couldn't be used by an object... only by a living being.

Leon couldn't focus too much on experimenting with new things, but after learning a few more spells, he resumed his experiments a little slower. Although the armor he created couldn't drain and store mana from the ambient, there was some room for improvement. Leon concluded that because he had a ring that granted him Zen at the max level. Although items could be lost or destroyed in the middle of the battle, Leon would make good use of them while he trains... and he was determined to create even more equipment that would help him in that regard.
