Master Of None



It had been a while since Walker felt the intense desire to study magic. He had wanted to take time to do many things while he traveled. He had also just touched upon the fact that all mana was mana and that they all came together to a real form. The natural mana that he could meld together and use was just one part of true mana. But using all mana and true mana was a different endeavor. 

The simple reason, understanding.

Walker had yet to begin understanding life, death, time, and space manas well enough to be able to use them and use true mana as a whole. It meant that he was left with natural mana which still needed a lot of learning as well. Not to mention all the elemental manas that he was still not as versed in compared to the royal dragons or some others. 

It was a long road to take, but for the moment, the spatial mana that Walker could elan was the full focus of his attention. This was mostly because he needed to create a way to get to Genesis and prepare everyone. Just because the corrupted city had begun floating toward the ocean didn't mean a thing. It was a threat that needed to be dealt with. 

The pressure was also a great motivator for him to do everything he could to fully immerse himself within the spatial mana studies. Especially with so much knowledge and documentation to go through. 

Even though he lacked the understanding of how spatial mana could influence other elemental manas, it was still useful. The feeling of space around him was everywhere. Space was everything and it was also hard to grasp. The other mana stook up space but could exist without it to a degree. 

This feeling was odd since grasping what space truly was, was harder. To think that space was physical would be foolish. There were different planes of existence that contained high amounts of specific elemental manas. That was also a space. Would it make sense to say that life and death that existed within those spaces were both physical? That mana itself was physical? No. 

That meant that space was the same as all manas. It flowed through everything. It was part of what made everything but also didn't need to be there to affect everything. The lack of space was also a reason why space had to exist. 

Places that lacked space allowed for other factors to appear. One that Walker came to mind with was gravity. Space needed to exist so that gravity could pull water in to a hole or make it flow down a river. That was something he had missed. But an important explanation. 

The way that space would flow just in nature had to be related to such things. With these thoughts on his mind, Walker left himself an important mental note to think about gravity and its potential to be part of space and another mana combining. There was also the potential that it was a completely separate form of mana altogether. But that was a thought for later. 

Seeing that the broken space rune was right before him, Walker decided to use that as the key to being able to grasp at the spatial mana around him. It was a sound idea since he could physically touch the rune in front of him while using his mana sense. 

The second that his hand landed on the broken rune, Walker felt the illusive mana trying to be pulled to the rune. It was odd. The feeling of it was not bright like any other mana he sensed. 

When Walker sensed water, he got a cool and bright feeling that came with it. For fire, it was a hot and bright feeling. These feelings were how he could rationalize using and manipulating these manas. But that was the same case for every mage. They would have their own associations but all of them would be able to use the same or similar skills. 

The spatial mana that came around the broken rune was gray. But it shifted to darker wispy shape. This wasn't necessarily the thing she could see but what he interpreted as he sensed the mana. 

Every time that the color would shift and get darker or lighter, Walker would feel a heavier or an emptier feeling. As if that was the difference between a full space and an empty space. With that in mind, Walker sent out his will in to the mana. 

The spatial mana didn't actively resist him. This was surprising. However, the mana also did not bend to his will. It was harder than expected to insert what he wanted the mana to do. Especially since he could sense that there was spatial mana all around him. Specifically in a way that made him want to reach out to the spread out spatial mana. 

The mana all around was sparse. As if the spatial mana was trying to spread out and not be touched. The only thing making it more dense was the broken spatial rune. But that made Walker even more focused. 

Having mana spread out over a large area was very similar to the ice dragon domain skill. It made water freeze and drop the temperature of an area greatly. Therefore, it made sense that the skill must interact with space in some way. 

"I need to go outside to test something. I need the broken space rune too. But I don't want to freeze anyone to death so keep a distance." Walker saw Ezra's eyes snap to him. Hearing that an experiment would happen was a great way for him to learn more. Especially with the fact that Walker was a mystery overall to the angels and to Ezra. 

"You do not need to worry about our safety. I am able to wield a sword with enough skill to break away any attacks or skills that come my way. I have even been able to split apart gusts of powerful wind or flames that attack my charge." With the guard's approving words, Walker pushed himself to grab the broken space rune and head outside. 

Luckily, the area had been cleared and remained that way for safety. Many knew the dangers of what would come if they invaded the space during testing. This respect came from the Fel angels and their fellow researchers. But for the Rize side, it was because they were uncomfortable opening themselves to unknown manas and danger just yet. But that was fine for the time being. 

The broken space rune on paper was going to be the focus of what Walker would try. But first, he channeled his mana and created the ice dragon's domain. The chilling mists that escaped around him froze the area. It was a dramatic change since the sun was high and the temperature was warm. 

The large ice crystals that formed and the frigid cold that grew caused an icy breeze all around the embassy. It was a dramatic skill to say the least. That was how it drew the attention of many angels. Naturally, they flew around the skies checking things out with curiosity. '

Walker was ignorant of this though. He knew that he had grasped on to something good. The simple reason was that the mana on the broken space rune had spread out suddenly. Walker could tell that the spatial mana was part of this skill and he hadn't even realized it existed. 

This made him want to slap himself in foolishness. He had used spatial mana without even meaning to. But knowing that it was there now was fine. He could manipulate the ice dragon's domain skill a little and sense where the spatial mana was playing a part. 

The spatial mana allowed the water mana in the skill to drift further and balance where it went. It was like a guide for how much to spread out and where to go. It also gave the perfect spread that caused the ice to form perfectly. The spatial mana didn't act as a controlling factor but more of a guideline. That Was how Walker interpreted the mix of the two. 

This was enough to begin developing a deeper meaning though. He saw the way that the spatial mana moved during a skill and around him. When he released the skill, some of the spatial mana returned to the broken space rune since that was a natural focal point for it. But the rest remained spread out within the ice dragon's domain skill. This was because it was part of that skill and the mana couldn't flow away yet. This was a melding of the water and the space mana at a very low mixture that didn't require control of spatial mana. The perfect starting point of an expansion of other skills.
