Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 940: Magic Word
Rain finally had some good news, but he couldn't celebrate yet. Since he had some relics that didn't have the corrupt power of the dragons, or at least it wasn't that strong, he could give them to his friends. That was his original goal, anyway…
"Liss could use the gun, as for anyone else… most of them don't use gear, and they are copying me by not using weapons," Rain thought. "Anyway, I guess I can bring them to my mental landscape and then teach them how to make relics that will help them… we don't have much time."
Rain also considered making the so-called revival rings… the relic that saved his life once, kind of. It might take a while to revive them, but with help from outside, it shouldn't take more than ten years…
While Rain was working on that, it didn't take long for him to be stopped. Isa left her tent for some reason to talk with him. He wondered if he should give her a ring as well… but that would only make his wives get angrier at him.

"My apologies for bothering you, but I have come to share some knowledge with you that will come in handy if we have to run away," Isa said. "It is how you can make a magic circle that can make a barrier that drains a bit of the mana of those inside of it."
"I am not complaining, but isn't it a highly valuable secret of your people?" Rain asked while frowning.
"It is, but I am worried about making sure that the people that will survive will do so for a while. I don't care about the opinions of the idiots that might die soon," Isa said. "This will decrease my debt a fair bit as well. You still didn't use the sword, right?"
"Yeah, she is a bit troublesome… I was planning to get rid of her corruption eventually, but I was already busy using my mana on that moron," Rain explained. "It might take a full year before that retard stops clouding my mind… it feels like a waste of time since he is still very annoying."
Isa's response was swift and decisive, reflecting the pragmatic approach that came from her vast experience. Having lived for a massively long period, she had learned to recognize futile actions, especially when dealing with individuals she deemed obstinate or unyielding.
To her, engaging in fruitless debates with those who couldn't promptly reach a decision would only impede progress and hinder their efforts.
Meanwhile, Rain, though not very knowledgeable about magic circles, found the theoretical understanding of the magic circle that siphoned mana from individuals within it relatively straightforward. His analogy likened comprehending the mechanics behind the magic circle to solving a mathematical formula.
He recognized two crucial elements essential in crafting a functional magic circle: a deep understanding of the effect it aimed to produce and the meticulous arrangement of symbols within the circle while maintaining equilibrium.
Rain's understanding of the process emphasized the significance of ensuring a harmonious balance within the magic circle. For instance, the symbols enclosed within it had to maintain continuous contact with the lines forming the circle, and no gaps or spaces between these symbols were permissible.
Understanding these fundamental rules formed the basis of creating an effective and functional magic circle.
"These symbols…" Rain said while furrowing his eyebrows.
"They belong to a language that my friend developed to come up with this type of magic. It is amazing, right?" Isa asked. "You can tell the meaning of each of them just by looking at them. Also, you can't make any mistakes when making the circles and the symbols, or you have to start from scratch."
It was weird. The symbols didn't seem special at all. They looked like very old hieroglyphs, but Rain still could tell what each one of them meant as Isa drew them on the ground. It was probably because of the mana and because of some path…
In any case, Isa showed an example of that technique working. She drew a magic circle and the symbols that represented a stone. After she finished it, she infused her mana, and a bit of the ground emerged and turned into a stone.
"You will have to learn this fast, unless you want to let me do all the work. I have no idea how the final project will be, though," Isa said.
Rain soon learned the trick behind the whole thing. The circle represented something like a domain where the magic of that technique could follow its rules freely. Between using that and using common magic, it was hard to say which one was better, but drawing the magic circles let people ignore the level of their abilities and let their skill give place to talent.
For example, even without having the levels necessary to create a ten-meter boulder or something, that could be done if the user made a magic circle big enough and they had enough mana to do so.

When Rain pulled off what Isa just said, that was the result… At the same time, he became aware of some other symbols that he could use to use that kind of magic. Four of them, five if including the symbol for the stone. It was quite an interesting technique, and it looked like the type who didn't have any limits aside from the creativity of the user.
