Mother went back again through every book in our household to all the different guidance books there were of magic. Each had different sorts of beginner type magic for different sorts of mixes and natural elements.
So far the natural elements were fire, water, earth and wind despite wind being a mixture of fire and water to create some type of wind either hot or cold.
There were also the unnatural that were done by mixing magic and just things that don't work properly as a natural occurrence. Ice, magma, lava, flight, dark, light, matter and so on. There were different beginner types for these in which by my hunch if I were to try I would run out of mana again.
Mother was distracted so I could try one of them now while she is on her research although she'd be worried if she just found me lying there on the floor again.
This time I brought in the cold, as the water served a use into it as well. The temperature for it was difficult as at the moment it is still warm in my palm.
I tried lowering the temperature with my mind which did work but began to harm my body in some way. My blood became chill as the magic began to take effect and this would surely be something to work on and get used to.
It was a droplet of water again that formed, this time however it began to grow in size while the center also began to change with a clear color. My vision began to fail on me again but I continued to pour the remainder of what I had to prove if I could control such magic.
In the end I succumbed to it and only heard the thud on the ground of what I created and a glimpse of the ball of ice that came to effect.
Mother came abruptly and casted fire magic to warm me up before the cold in my right hand spread into my main body. It harmed my body, but it proved I could control it if I just acted more responsibly in my own life.
I came to realize something soon after.
Magic capacity seems to expand the more one uses it rather than in how one manages to grow. It is not out of luck in how one ends up having a large mana capacity, perhaps even father knew about this during his youth and took advantage of it.
Mother had become more cautious of me as she began to approve of my infant actions as she'd only view me a prodigy than anything bad. Although that isn't the case with our home maid who keeps a close eye on everything I do.
Perhaps I should've been patient with my life and took my time to learn over magic. Then again my capacity would remain small if I hadn't.
Some months would go by and I've come to have casted almost all sorts of magic. Which meant that I would have to seclude most of them to avoid bad attention. I'd be considered a once in a lifetime magic user with the potential to wield all magic abilities.
"He's most definitely a prodigy and soon to be only a year old. Even the master had a tough time dealing with his own magic, or so he has been told."
"Yeah, it's probably because he's his son? Aren't the others prodigies themselves?"
Others?
Mother and the maid began to talk over other children father has. However it wasn't only with mother but other women as well.
They were talking so casually about it, as if they'd just accepted the fact that father had cheated or had children with other women.
"I'm just his fourth wife with special circumstances."
F-f-fourth!
No, I shouldn't get ahead of myself. This is nothing much like those memories. I should've known something such as polygamy to be a thing in this day and age.
Night time came to be and I lit my room with light magic as a light orb formed and floated in the air.
I slept with the textbook, my mother believes I have grown attached to it but in reality I was only excelling myself further into every beginner ranked skill. This was a secret as my mother was always intrigued to further my abilities but lately I'd become more cautious on advancing in front of her and the maid.
I conjured different spells from each element and had almost gone to know and awaken all of their beginner ranked skills.
Although intermediate requires a large mana capacity that I most likely already have but it remains unknown exactly how much.
That's also another reason as to why I stay up excelling myself, if I cause myself to fatigue and fall unconscious I would fall asleep. Lately my anticipation has been bothering my night sleep and keeping me awake all night long rather than in my dreams.
Right now I am focusing on healing magic. Honestly I can feel that I can conjure it myself, however there seems to be a problem that I've come to solve.
I can't do it unless I manage to speak its incantation. As of now, each spell comes from my imagination and understanding of the source. While healing involves way more of a medical point in which I never looked into in my former life.
I've studied the natural occurrences in the world, the paranormal, the galactic and so on. Yet it never occurred to me to go a more medical profession route.
So my understanding for healing is to zero and the only thing that'll allow me access would be the incantation.
Light magic on the other hand helps with lighting up the dark room. At the current moment my sight can only see darkness during the night in which I'm locked in my crib.
However, after learning light magic I can light up my room quite well. I've experimented with it here and there as it can be bright and dim.
I was getting ahead of myself and mostly using my magic at night to expand with only light as it was mainly harmless in the way I'd use it.
Can't wait to see how far I go into this.
