Chapter 58 - What is a Wizard?
After washing up, Angor changed into some clean, casual wear and left his tent while Toby flew off somewhere on his own, wearing those fancy attire. He was going to come back in the evening anyway, so Angor did not think too much about it.
During the week, Angor shifted between two places and the teacher’s book room was his fixed destination every day.
Even when he was having breakfast earlier, he was still thinking over the books he read these days.
He knew he should not take more than he could chew, so he only focused on very basic books. He finished A Hundred Essential Questions for Apprentices ,Spells: Explained , The Effect of Spiritual Models , Basic: Mana Source … He started to draw an outline of wizards in his mind.
Sunders had yet to teach him anything and Flora had not given him any extra nuisance. The outline was completely drawn by himself, by reading different books, breaking down various definitions, finding out basics, and adding his own theories.
His own definition for a wizard.
The “wizard” in his mind did not have facial features nor clothes. It was only a blurry figure. However, he believed that as he read more and knew more, “he” would become more complete, and finally turn into someone that looked just like himself, and by which time, Angor would be a wizard himself.
Angor considered for a while. “Building a model out of spiritual power and use that to stabilize mana flow determines that one has become an apprentice.”
“Correct. Do you know how to build a spirit model?”
Angor answered, “The channeling method helps one construct a stable spirit model in his or her mind. Models built by different methods have varied stabilizing effects, and thus, different mana flow speeds.”
