[Showcasing Skills for the [Ember] Skill Tree…]
<Available Skills: 2/2>
[Option 1]: [Fire Magic: Blazing Phoenix: Lv1]
[Option 2]: [Fire Magic: Phantom Flames: Lv1]
The two new Skills I could learn were certainly much different than the previous Skills of the Fire Attribute I had. I felt slightly forced to check on them in utmost detail due to my curiosity.
-----
[Fire Magic: Blazing Phoenix: Lv1]
A Strong Fire Magic Spell in the "Unique" Category.
A Special, Unique Spell that has been created exclusively for the user. By spending 60000 Mana, the user is able to summon a giant Phoenix made of blazing flames which will attack any surrounding foe constantly with several patterns, such as [Blazing Feather Projectiles], [Fireball Rain], and [Phoenix Fall] for 1 Minute before disappearing, with a limit of 3 at the same time.
The first two which can deal devastating damage up to +180%, with the ability to ignore Fire Attribute Damage Resistances by up to -15%, while the last can deal up to 300% Damage and ignore Fire Attribute Damage Resistance by up to -50% but will sacrifice the Summon.
The Blazing Phoenix Attacks are devastating and leave behind trails of [Phoenix Feathers] which can further explode like landmines upon touching a foe, dealing up to +120% Damage.
Foes that get caught in the flames might be inflicted with [Magic Seal] and [Strength Seal which will decrease Magical and Physical Power by -5% for 1 Minute, which can stack up to four times for a -20% debuff.

[Fire Magic: Phantom Flames: Lv1]
A Strong Fire Magic Spell in the "Unique" Category.
A Special, Unique Spell that has been created exclusively for the user. By spending 60000 Mana, the user is able to conjure powerful, blue-colored Phantom Flames, which can deal devastating damage both to a foe's body of up to +200%, with the ability to ignore Fire Attribute Damage Resistance by up to -15%, while also affect the mind and body negatively, by merely touching a foe, all their stats will decrease by -10% and their Magic Conjuration might be disrupted.
As these flames call forth the deadly phantasmal flames of the netherworld and the will-o-wisps, they're even able to affect a foe's soul. Foes that get caught in the flames might be inflicted with [Soul Burn] which will deal 0.1% Damage to their Soul every second, decrease their Magic Power and Concentration by -5%, and drain 0.2% of their Mana every second, and slow down the regeneration of wounds by -5% for 3 Minutes. This effect can stack up to 5 times.

This was a really hard choice, both Skills were incredible. I had to discuss it a bit with Alice, but ultimately I decided to pick the Phantom Flames, as they offered a new Element I had not wielded before at all, while bringing tons of debuff and the ability to hurt a foe's soul, which might be essential to create the power to hurt Gods one day.
And because Soul Damage is universal and can even ignore how strong a foe's defenses are, I could even effectively use this on foes much stronger than me to debilitate them to an extent. It was a rather obvious choice, even if the damage was less than the Phoenix Skill, I can always pick it up later.
Ding!
[You have selected the [Fire Magic: Phantom Flames] Skill!]
[You learned the [Fire Magic: Phantom Flames: Lv1] Skill!]
[The Affinity with the Phantom Element has grown stronger.]
[Your Magic Circle has developed 2500 Phantom Runes!]
[The power of the Phantom Flames Skill has grown significantly stronger.]
[The [Level Bonus] Effect has been added to the Phantom Flames Skill.]
[Your Soul has absorbed the leftover Phantasmal Essence.]
[Your Psyche is developing further…]
For a moment there, it felt as if my magic circle was covered in these flames, which were then promptly absorbed. At the same time, the phantom power I gained was quickly absorbed by my Soul too, which grew slightly stronger.

"And done! Wow the Level Bonus is pretty good as well." I said while nodding. "Alright, I guess we should-"
"SYLPHYYYYY! Come down already, young lady! You have to eat breakfast before your grandmother arrives!" My mother called me from below.
"R-Right! Coming!" I said, quickly rushing downstairs.
Once I joined breakfast with my family, everyone started talking about grandmother coming. Uncle Arafunn was here as well, completely sober and looking like an exemplary person. I guess he finally decided to get a bit decent for grandma.
"Your grandmother must be arriving at any time by now." My mother said, nervously sipping her tea.
"Calm down a bit, you're so nervous it's clear all over your face, Faylen." My father tried to calm her down.
