Chapter 539 539 Advanced Recommendations

The recommendations for age 19, which were the next group that it told him to learn by default, were almost all completed now. The [Advanced Attack] and [Advanced Defence] spells were both added to the Urgent Matters category, while utility magic and array creation were put in the Important Skills category, that would be learned after he got through the urgent matters.

There were simply so many spells available that Wolfe quickly understood why the Inheritance had broken them into age categories. It was too much for one person to learn all at once, and you needed to know some topics before you could even start on the others.

So, he started to organize his categories by going through every year\'s recommendations and placing the prerequisites for the spells in the Urgent Matters section where they would become necessary. That made it a bit easier, and eventually, he found that there were only about fifteen spells that he really, urgently needed to know.

Most of them were advanced versions of the spells that he already knew, like [Infernal Rain] which was an advanced version of [Grenades], or [Volcano] which was a combination of Fire and Gravity Magic. 

There were countless useful spells that used water or earth magic that he would have to skip over due to his lacking skills, but Wolfe was satisfied that he would be able to put up enough of a fight to hold out against anything but the Saints once he learned all the spells he had on his lists.

Stephanie came in with Sophie to visit with Wolfe while he was working on [Infernal Rain], and quietly sat themselves on the bed behind him. He was nearly through mastering the spell, and he had managed to get it right once already, but the memorization of the activation sequence for these layered attack magics was more complex, and he was having issues getting it right without checking his notes.

The standard he wanted was to cast them instantly from memory, so he could use them whenever the situation called for it without hesitation, but he still had a way to go on this one.

After another success, he turned to address his visitors. 

"Ladies, what can I do for you tonight?" He asked.

"We had some questions about layering armour spells, but what you\'re doing looks way more interesting." Sophie replied.

Wolfe considered how the spell was created, and realized that this was one that a Witch could do, as it was all Fire Elemental Magic, and didn\'t require multiple Arrays to be linked, only one that contained seven different spell circles.

"I\'m not sure that you need to be learning this one. You\'re still in the White Witch group, as you\'ve never cast a harmful spell on another, have you?" Wolfe asked.

Sophie shook her head.

"Then we won\'t teach you this. You still have a chance at a friendly Fae Familiar, and if you\'re lucky, they might teach you some of their nature magic instead. But I can show Stephanie if you want to know that it\'s available to keep you safe." Wolfe suggested.

[Is it even possible to know that? I mean, that spell is stupidly complex.] Stephanie asked, but her emotions through the link said that she was eager to find out.

[Try it. Recreate it on the whiteboard by following the directions in the Inheritance and tracing over the array that I have written on the board.] Wolfe instructed.

On the [Whiteboard] you could see the runes light up a little as the mana flowed through them during creation, so you knew right when you messed up and the spell stopped activating.

That was a blessing for Stephanie, who failed ten straight times, even with Wolfe\'s inscription there to trace. He wasn\'t wasting the time while she worked. Wolfe had created a second [Whiteboard] on the wall and was working on the next spell on his list, one of the prerequisite knowledge items that seemed to be the foundation for a whole series of Wind Magic spells.

Alone, it wasn\'t all that hard to master, but once Wolfe looked at the completed version of it, he realized that his [Tornado] spells would be much more effective once he could fine tune them with this knowledge. The prerequisite wasn\'t so much to make the spell activate as to understand how to use it properly.

With the new knowledge of [Wind Control] he could cut the mana cost of [Tornado] and the associated spells like [Storm Front] by nearly a third.

With [Adept] skill in lightning, there wasn\'t much to be gained on that element, and he had already absorbed the basic knowledge from the Lightning Progenitor\'s memory crystal, so he could skip that part of the learning, but for the other Elements, these little things were really adding up as he studied.

He didn\'t even notice the time passing, or that Sophie had fallen asleep on his bed until Ella came in the next morning with food.

"You\'ve already missed breakfast, so I brought lunch. We shouldn\'t let the little one miss more meals, no matter how comfortably she is sleeping." Ella admonished Wolfe, looking extra adorable with her hands on her hips and her short blue hair fluffed up from being under a bandana while she worked for the morning.

"Honestly, I didn\'t notice it was morning already. A certain lazy cat is bad at telling time." Wolfe replied, passing all the blame to Stephanie, who gave him an incredulous look.

"No, you don\'t get to blame Stephanie for this one. She\'s been studying with you all night, and it\'s your job to keep track of time, not hers. We\'ve even got a clock on the wall." Ella reminded him.

"But it says it\'s only 11:30. How was I supposed to know that meant in the morning?"

Ella just shook her head and pointed at the plates. "Wake up your young admirer and eat. I will come get you before tonight\'s summoning Ceremony. Don\'t forget that both of your Pentacles will be summoning Rank Three Familiars tonight, so dress your best."

Wolfe looked down at the casual cargo pants outfit he was wearing, which currently had all the pockets full of notes that he had made about various spells, and then taken down from their spots on the wall once he had them memorized.

"In that case, I have a task for Miss Stephanie, who is taking a day off training. I have plenty of notes, and you can organize them into a single study guide. I doubt that anyone will need them right away, but in case they do, it would be nice to have all the essential advanced magics all in one spot. 

By the end of the day, we should have most of the attack and defence spells written down, and some of the most essential utility spells that I can cast." Wolfe decided.

Stephanie had one large advantage that he did not. She could bind the loose pages into a book using witch magic so that it would be suitable for placement in the Library.
