"There are other classes, such as Druids, Shamans, and more. But of course, I can always save them for another day. Although there are even more classifications than that, even with the limited number of elements there are in the world, each person can learn and use their own unique spell combinations, making every single magician unique and different from one another," mother told me.

"Is that so? But isn\'t there like a general group of elemental spells everyone learns?" I asked.

"Well yes, but aside from that, magicians are encouraged to make their own creations and spells. After all, one of the most important elements of magic aside from diligence and study is creativity! A person without creativity will never get too far in magic," mother said in response.

"Ohh…"

So, at the end of the day, despite there being a lot of basic spells on each tier, the strength of a magician still came from what they could create themselves? Well, I suppose that makes sense. It\'s like making your own weapon or your own weapon techniques, but in spell form.

In my previous life, I sucked at magic. The only magic I could use was the weakest one that only served a basic function, such as the Lockpick spell. But in this life, I finally have the opportunity to develop magic in all the directions I could\'ve ever wanted.

I still remember how much I envied those talented mages in my previous life… to think I would become someone so "talented" myself.

"Now then! We\'re finally done with the boring stuff, so let\'s continue with a bit of practice before lunch, alright, dearie? Let\'s begin with the basics of Nature-attribute magic. Do you know what Nature-attribute magic is?" mother asked all of a sudden.

"Magic that deals with plant life?" I asked.

"Well yes, but actually, it encompasses even more than that. You see, Nature Magic is what we call a composite element. It comes from the combination of Earth and Life Magic, therefore, someone that awakens Nature Magic can also conjure both Life and Earth Magic as well since it comes naturally to them," mother nodded in response before explaining what it really was.

"Wait, what?!"

"Indeed! You see, Nature Magic is the combination of both Earth and Life Magic, which it clearly shows through its spells. It\'s an amazing combination of both," she said with enthusiasm.

"If I were to give an example, your ability to enhance soil and make plants grow bigger is part of Earth Magic while also being part of Life Magic. Also, the ability to control or order plants is Life Magic, which deals with the manipulation of life signals inside a living being. Plus, the ability you used to heal Aquarina, that one spell you named Verdant Light, well, that\'s Life Magic, widely known for being the best attribute at healing spells," she continued, explaining a bit more.

"Wow… So Naturia is an even stronger Spirit than I thought because she\'s a Composite Element Spirit?" I asked for clarification.

"Why yes. It\'s actually rare to find Composite Element Spirits. In forests, you either find Life or Earth Spirits the most, but Naturia is a combination of both, a wondrously rare specimen," mother could not help but say.

Whew. And I thought my Nature Magic wasn\'t much aside from enchanting plants… Does this mean I can also learn Life and Earth Magic with ease?

The sole possibility of having great talent for such amazing attributes made me excited to the point that my heart began to beat faster in anticipation.

"Does this mean I can learn Earth and Life-attribute spells? Can Naturia help me in that regard?" I asked, curious.

"I believe so, but as we\'ve spoken about before, I also want you to learn to conjure your own spells. I\'ve already seen the multiple spells you can do without the need for chants and other stuff, but I want to see if you can try out a conventional runic spell using magic circles," mother said in response, adding a request at the very end.

"A-And which one would that be?" I asked, slightly nervous.

"A simple one, here."

As she told me that, my mother suddenly gave me a pot of dirt.

"Huh?"

"The first spell that all Nature-attribute magicians learn is called… Soil Enhancement! Using magic, you enhance the soil with both Earth and Life mana, enriching its nutrients. This soil will go to the farm in the backyard!" mother told me.

"O-Oh…"

I thought it was going to be something more awesome.

In any case, mother showed me the effects of the spell first.

"Soil Enhancement."

FLASH!

In less than a second, a small green magic circle emerged around the pot, infusing it with green mana.

In response, the pot trembled a bit and then, it receded. The magic circles had a lot of runes from what I could see. In fact, even the smallest of spells have at least a good dozen of runes that make up their effects.

I looked at it with great intent.

After a bit, the soil faintly sparkly with magical light before dimming down as if nothing happened in the first place.

"See? Now make it yourself." Once mother was done showing me, she then told me this.

"Eh? Just… trying to copy you?" I asked.

"Yeah! You\'re a natural genius so it could work," mother replied.

Huh… mother, I\'m not a genius! I\'m actually just a cheater!

Agh…

"(System, can I use Mana Usage to imitate mother\'s spell?)"

"Oh? Yes, I believe it\'s possible… though we have never done this before," the System replied.

"(Let\'s just do our best.)"

"Fine…"

With that, I pointed my hands into the pot with soil, and then, I tried to replicate the magic circle using runes.

To make runes, I had to think about the certain runic circuits. This spell had something like Grow, Soil, Earth, Enhance, and so on. Surprisingly, each rune had a word associated to it. But in short, making runic circuits was just conjuring several runes at once before combining them into a magic circle.

Words are magic, in a way.

By doing this, the magic circle suddenly emerged, and thanks to the Mana Usage skill, it was flowing correctly.

It actually worked! To think I succeeded on my first hand at conventional magic!

FLASH!
