Chapter 494 The Power Of Level 10 Ember & Time To Get New Skills
-----
"Well now, let me guess, Ember Level 10 gave me Runes of Fire Attribute, isn't it?" I said, checking the Ember Skill.
-----
[Lesser Fire Magic: Ember: Lv10]
Skill Proficiency: -- / --
A Lesser Fire Attribute Magic Spell, the weakest there is.
By spending 10 Mana, create a small fire to lit candles, start a small fire, or illuminate a small and dark place.
The power of this Spell is mediocre and cannot be properly used for fighting, even the slightest breeze can turn off this tiny flame.
Additionally, it grants a sizable quantity of Fire Attribute Runes distributed into the Magic Circle of the user.
Cooldown: No Cooldown.
Level Bonus (10): Enhances the Skill's Damage Dealt and Conjuration Speed by +100%.

Aaaand, I was right. I acquired a few Runes of Fire Attribute. However these were directly added into my Magic Circle instead than both soul and physique. I guess there's a difference between the two wordings. As this is a Magic Spell, I guess it enhances the Magic Circle solely.
However, now that Ember's at Level 10, let's try conjuring a tiny Ember to see how much it has improved. I remember that Ember back then was a tiny flame, smaller than the tip of my finger.
But now…?
"E m b e r!"
F L A A A A S S H H!
A large, watermelon-sized fireball emerged at the tip of my finger; it was so big I felt shocked it was simply a single Ember! This means I can conjure even stronger fire with less pressure and burden into my soul by having to overuse a lot of Mana to make something strong.
"Woah, with this I can just fire tiny Embers to slay most low tiered monsters, can't I?" I said with a surprised smile in my face.
"Yep, Ember has become stronger at Level 10!" Said Alice. "And you acquired around 5000 Fire Attribute Runes into your Magic Circle, which also helped at reaching Tier 3 instantly."
"Woah… Skills are really a big cheat. I wonder if they work similar on my Familiars? Wait, now that I think about it, they don't have physique or magic circle tiers listed? Why is that?" I wondered.
"I can only guess that because the System Seeds are the old version of the System, they lack the ability to identify that. Remember that such a thing was an invention of mine that I used to modify the status. And well, Spirits lack magic circles and physiques, they're special beings. Furoh seems to lack a magic circle and has something named Demon Core, something most Demons have, which is like the monsters Mana Crystals, helping them regulate magic across their bodies and boosting it. This is how most demons are born with an innate power over magic without needing to be taught how to conjure spells." Said Alice.
"Woah, Demons are cheating too, aren't they?" I giggled a bit.
"Yeah, perhaps one of the reasons why they're feared by other races. Well, we have seen them now, and they're good people. It is wrong to generalize." Alice nodded.
"I can't agree more with you!" I said with a nod. "But now, let's see Mana Usage…"
-----
[Mana Usage: Lv5]
Skill Proficiency: 2129/5000
The ability to naturally wield Mana. Grants the ability to use Mana without any previous required experience, while activated, you can use your own mind to shape the Mana to your liking, but a lot of Mana is utilized. Can be practiced continuously for better and more efficient results. The lowest tiered Mana Usage-type Skill, below Mana Manipulation and Mana Mastery.
Level Bonus (5): Enhances the Control over Mana by +50%, Lessens the Pressure of Mana Usage by -50%, and Enhances Magic Spell Power by +25%.
-----
"Oooh, it gained a new third effect as a Level Bonus?!" I asked.
"Yes, it appears it now enhances Magic Spell Power by +25%! It might be the reason why Ember became big too, combined with Ember being Level 10." Alice said. "It seems that the others increase by +10% with each level while the third effect by +5% with each level, at Level 10 you will have a boost of +50% to the Magic Power of your Spells." Alice said happily.
"I am really growing super strong; it feels almost surreal… But wait! I remember I used EXP to level this up, can I use it again?" I wondered.
"Well, yes, but it is too expensive… Well, it is 100 EXP for every 1 Skill Proficiency. Right now you need… over 250k EXP to level this up, then you'll need 600k and more… you currently have 17 Million EXP so you could afford to level it up, but now that you got time to train Mana, wouldn't it be a waste?" Asked Alice.
"I agree, I guess it would be a waste. Let's always save some EXP for emergencies though, it came in handy in the middle of the battle." I said while nodding.
"Yeah, if you save some for dire situations, it'll come more in handy than now when you can just merely train your Mana Control to level the Skill up slowly yet steadily." Alice agreed.
"I guess I can do that now that we are at it. But first maybe I should pick new Skills? Can I get new ones?" I asked.
"Yes, Spiritual Blessing can evolve into [Divine Fruit of Knowledge] or [Great Harvest Familiar Summon]! The first one enhances your magical power even more and allows you for the creation of special fruits that can regenerate MP and even HP! The second allows you to summon special familiars themed as vegetables, fruits, and other plants. Each Familiar has special abilities and you get more as the skill levels up."
"This is… a harsh decision once more." I sighed. "What should I prioritize? I do remember that Naturia's leaves were very useful at the end… Maybe Divine Fruit of Knowledge? But having Little Familiars at my aid wouldn't be bad either."
