[Day 280]
Another week has passed in the outside world, which has been yet another month in the divine realm. Of course, we also go outside to interact with people and the nearby town, but there's a whole world in here to check, so I've been rather busy doing a series of things through this month in here, such as expanding the village, helping the people get some basic daily life stuff for them, mining the mountains, practicing skills, getting my soul tortured by the venerable for it to grow stronger, training with Benladann to teach her how to properly use her dragon powers, etcetera.
Aside from the other things which I will explain later, I had been practicing the [Unique Skill: Spirit Creation] Divine Ability a whole lot. Sadly Divine Abilities cannot be improved like Skills through levels, but they're god-level strong from the get-go as well. You can only upgrade them into the next Rank through Divine Points though, but its not as if I got any interest in doing that for now, I want to hoard Divine Points for now, as I want to use them to get a nice powerup later.
The Divine Ability was good enough for me, and through this almost month inside the divine realm, I've been using it non-stop to practice how this entire skill works properly. From what I recall from the dreams I got from the Venerable, she was able to create small spirits at the beginning, which then slowly began to grow larger and stronger over time… Oh, and yeah, the dreams. You know? The story went kind of like I predicted. She survived the flames at the end and didn't die, those friends she found that she freed from slavers ended sticking with her for a long time, and became her companions for many years. She had a rather typical life until she continued growing stronger and stronger… the dreams ended when she raised into a goddess of dreams, and everybody began chasing her down. Since then, I don't know what really happens, but she had kind of spoiled me that her friends probably died.
Damn…

Anyways! Moving that aside, Spirit Creation is pretty useful and fun to use, but there are many things that I have to take into consideration. The first time I tried to use it, I decided to do the same she had done with it back then and used it to create a tiny flame. The flame was alive, it had tiny eyes and looked rather goofy, it was an Ember Spirit, the weakest fire-attribute spirit one can create. Spirits are actually sorted by most of the elements, depending in the element you pick and the shape, a certain spirit will be summoned. For these low-rank spirits, it was very easy to create them without much difficult, I could create one of almost every element, even space and time, elements I cannot even comprehend nor use right now.
The spirit creation skill opened a whole new world of possibilities as it allowed the ability to use spirits from most elements, meaning that I had access to these elements to a certain, small amount. Although I got a ton of elemental affinities already, I don't have them all yet, so it was a pretty good thing. The Ember Spirit could be evolved into a Fireball Spirit, and then I could branch it into a Wisp Spirit by giving it death attribute, or something different such as a Volcano Spirit that could unleash volcano flames. There was not many restrictions, even a Meteor Spirit was possible by merging fire and earth together, a giant floating meteor that self-destructs by clashing over foes, insane.
However, the most basics were also possible, such as using Earth and making an Ore Spirit of Steel in the shape of a knife or a small sword, which Belle used when she was young most of the time to cut through things, although it often died right away after being used. I could constantly reinforce it and make it of a tier higher. The ranks of the spirits seemed to depend in the ranks of the mana core as well, so at my current rank, I can make Rank 7 Spirits which are incredibly strong and need more than just mana to be created… divine power is also required. Spirits above Rank 6 all require Divine Power to be summoned, usually around 10k, but if you want them to be more durable and stronger you have to invest more points.
Compared to the "mortal" spirits below Rank 6 who only need Mana and often disappear frequently, the Divine Spirits that can be created at Rank 7 and beyond are very strong and durable, so summoning one or a few is enough to get a good support in battle and in anything else, really. Also, the liberty in which I can make these spirits is rather high, I can shape the Earth Spirit of Rank 6 named "Mercury Slime" into any metallic shape, and it the strongest I can currently summon that doesn't cost divine power.
So I've been practicing with it and I've made several cooking pots, pans, and utensils to make cooking magic even more dynamic, and I can use Ember Spirits, Fireball Spirits, and Heat Spirits to heat the food! Droplet Spirits, Spring Spirits, and the like can generate water of high quality, and even Nature Spirits such as Herb Spirit can be consumed. The possibilities are truly endless, perhaps creating a new armor out of spirits doesn't seem so far-fetched now that I think about it.
But aside from these "conventional" spirit creations, which the Venerable has been guiding me in their creation, there's the second type, the special spirits or "custom spirits" that can be created through special and even more intricate means by using all sorts of magic materials, and to make custom divine spirits, you even need divine materials, which I have yet to get my hands in any particular one… aside from my own scales. This is probably he method used to create the Belle we all know and love, the little spirit one.
[Spirit Creation] really has a lot of amazing possibilities, it all depends on me how to use it properly.
