Magoi Ascension[Training]

While Yakuroro had learned several new spells of a scale he'd never known before during his travels to Zou, the Magician feared that he hadn't truly made progress as a magician. His magoi output was no higher than it had been before he left with Lady Soushui. While training under her guidance Yakuroro simply learned tricks and methods for how to better utilize power he already had. Realizing that in order to surpass his limits, more training was needed, Yakuroro secluded himself in his inn room for days and began a basic but fundamental training technique.

First, the magician would gather and mold Magoi from their body and release it into the air in its purest form. Then they would tell that magoi to intensify and burn itself off expending the energy. The result would be a glowing white light of magoi output which was hard to maintain. If the user could manage to keep the magoi "burning" long enough over enough days then their total magoi output can be expanded. But the training came with its own risks. You were essentially forcing your magoi system to grow by running large quantities of it through the body at a constant rate. If pushed too hard, the magician's magic could back fire inside their own body causing potential harm to both flesh and magoi.

Yakuroro sat cross on a chair that was too small for an Imuchakk as he feasted on a small bounty of food before him. Magoi couldn't flow if a magician didn't have any energy, so he was consuming as much food as he could in order to prepare for the exhausting days of training that were laying ahead of him. As he ate, Yakuroro thought about all the magic he'd done so far and the sensation of growth he'd managed to stoke quite often even since leaving Imuchakk. A sigh escaped the giant blue magician's lips as he got up from his seat and derobed revealing the muscles of his upper body and the sea beast tattoos across his chest covering an old branding that marked him as a demon.

Prepared now, Yakuroro sat on his bed cross legged and began to breath rhythmically while willing the magoi in his body to swell and grow. The blue haired magician felt the energy flow from the cores of his body outwards causing his body to shine the golden-white light of pure magoi. As the light touched the air, Yakuroro made the energy rapidly expend itself so he could push out even more. The light around him begame brighter and the magoi surrounding his body began to fluctuate as the rukh chattered noisily. The training had begun and it was going smooth for now. But there was no telling how long Yakuroro would be able to keep it up as this was his first time trying this method since leaving Imuchakk.

Yakuroro strained his magoi like never before as he continued to gradually increase the flow of magic through his veins. Slowly but surely he reached the limits of what was safe and then began to exceed them. The Imuchakk felt an electric pain dance throughout his entire bodies nervous system as the magoi strained against his blood vessels and threatened to tear them open all over. The Imuchakk lowered his output simply because his strength wavered. The pain was too unbearable for Yakuroro to hand and still maintain the output. It was a miracle he hadn't hurt himself and yet Yakuroro started up again as soon as his muscles stopped tensing up. With a deep breath for relaxation, Yakuroro started concentrating on increasing the magoi built again and send it out of his body only to burn up into chattering rukh which were now fluttering all about his room due to the high magoi density in the air created as a side effect of this training.

The next few days were a repeat of this; slowly approaching his limit, passing it, and then nearly passing out from the agony such rash action caused.  But as Yakuroro entered the fourth day he felt a notable increase in the magoi he could produce before it was too much for his body to bare. That progress spurred the Imuchakk on to stick through the rough training as the potential rewards he could reap would be far worth the risk of hurting himself. At least that is how the wandering blue mage saw things. Thankfully Yaku had saved up lots of money from all the jobs he had, so he could afford good full meals whenever ever he ran out of magoi. Being weary and exhausted despite not having used his muscles one bit was strange for Yakuroro as he rarely ever used up all his magoi in a single day when not training. Some days he found his hands too weak to even hold those tiny human forks and spoons forcing him to staff his face like the barbarian most assumed the giant Imuchakk to be. When not filling his belly or burning his magoi, Yakuroro rested and slept in his bed, not ever bothering to shower off his sweat covered body which was becoming hot with fever as his constantly lowered magoi was leaving him susceptible to germs.

Even as Yakuroro's body fell into sickness and all all his strength seemed to fade, he continued to push himself for days on end. In the mornings his muscles were sore and weak from fatigue and in the evenings his body would be tortured with incredible heat and cold sweats. The side effects of over using this training were beginning to take their toll, but even so, while Yakuroro's total magoi hardly had a chance to recover to the full levels they were at when he first began, the amount he could wield at once was definitely increasing. The light shining from Yakuroro as he trained was normally light of the rukh that non-magician's could not see, however the concentration was so densely packed as it left Yaku's body and burned away that even a goi would have seen him to be glowing softly.

As the days went on, Yaku found that he lost all track of time and was on a haphazard sleep schedule that was not giving him enough rest. Eventually, the collective stress of the training took a toll on Yakuroro and he passed out for three days straight. During this time, his body entered a near comatose state and simply rested to recover all the exhaustion that had been built up over the past two weeks. When Yakuroro awoke, he forbid himself from using magoi for another full three days and spent his time simply resting and eating to restore his strength. Once he felt like he was back in top condition, Yakuroro raised his staff and cast a spell while flooding it with as much magoi as he could. The result was a splendid increase in both magoi capacity and magoi output! The fruits of Yaku's labor were born in the form of a new ascension in magic working for Yakuroro as he could feel the power of the rukh flowing through him even greater than before.

A-tier Spell Training

With new found power and magoi flowing through his body, Yakuroro felt that he was ready to try taking his magic to a greater scale than he ever had before with a whole new tier of magic. Because Yakuroro was performing magic with such great quantities of magoi for the first time, he decided to stick with simple water magic. Familiar commands to the rukh flowed from Yakuroro's staff ordering them to gather water at a rapid rate while pumping a great amount of magoi into the spell. Droplets formed and gathered into a blob that would continue to take on more and more water. Yakuroro willed the rukh to keep growing the ball of water until it was reaching the limits of what he could control before finally the gathering waters ceased. At last the rukh were allowed to settle briefly as the commands halted and Yakuroro took a moment to inspect how the first stage of this new spell had turned out.

A magnificent sphere of water spanning 25m in diameter now floated in the air above the Imuchakk. It was certainly an impressive scale, but a giant ball of water alone was hardly any good in a fight. Yakuroro added commands for movement and held both hands on his staff while focusing intently on moving the giant mass of water without it falling apart. The focus it requires meant that Yakuroro had to stay still in order to move the sphere. This was a weakness he had to be aware of, so Yakuroro tried to increase the speed as much as possible to compensate. The fastest he could move the sphere was 20m/s, but that was more than fast enough for Yakuroro's purposes. This way he could smash the watery ball into someone and wash them in a wet world where the swimming Imuchakk were most potent. There, he could perform any number of other spells while maintaining mobility as if he were on land while other will be slowed and confused; forced to swim agains a water sphere that could center itself on them no mater how hard they swam.

Now the spell had movement and Yakuroro found he could keep hold over the spell for up to 40ms away from his own body. It was in impressive range Yaku could be proud of, but the spell was still missing something. Yakuroro tried casting this incomplete version many times and experimented with other approaches. He tried filling it with wild currents, but the were to powerful for even he to swim through now. If he lowered the magoi output and slowed the currents enough that he could swim in them as with his flood domain spell, then it would defeat the purpose of pushing his magic to its limits! There had to something else that would accent the advantages of the water sphere. Something which would allow Yakuroro to attack those trapped within his water world.

While swimming in his own water sphere, Yakuroro tried to imagine how best to make use of this watery space. The Imuchakk could move through the waters easily thanks to his whale-like skin which allowed him to gain better traction on the water. Yaku would swim to the center of the sphere and wait there holding his breath for as long as he could while visualizing currents flowing through the waters in his minds eye. Then the Imuchakk would take a breath only to repeat the process until finally he decided to split all of the current forces into two currents which could act as extensions of his left and right hands underwater. Hands that could smash an opponent into a surface or bat away an attack of equal strength. Surely, they would prove to be an invaluable addition to the water ability.

With the type of currents decided upon, Yakuroro began ordering command to the rukh in rapid succession where as just a few months ago it would have taken him great effort just to learn and use some of the commands. The blue mage's commands were for the water molecules to swirl and churn in a watery vortex of sorts that spun wildly as it pushed its way through the water in a straight line. The current was made faster and stronger before commands to control its movements were added and Yaku began practicing controlling the currents at will. Yakuroro brought several metal rings into the sphere of water with him that were 5m in diameter to use as targets. Yakuroro guided the magoi's movements with his hand and staff ordering the currents to twist and turn passing through the rings as the swirled around the watery drink.

All the pieces of the new spell were now complete. Yakuroro finally put them all together in one fluid spell. The Imuchakk rose his staff in the air and shouted the name the rukh told him would be used to call upon the spell, "Deep Blue!" Through those two words, dozens of commands flowed through the magoi Yaku supplied as it was channeled through his staff an into the atmosphere. The massive sphere of water would gather around Yakuroro quickly swallowing him up into a world of water. The gathering swell grew to 25m in diameter and settled in place as calm waters.

Bubbles formed around Yaku's whale-like skin granting him the ability to kick of the water. Submerged underwater was where the Imuchakk felt most comfortable in a fight and he would use his own spell as a giant pool to practice underwater movements in. While Yakuroro stepped his way through the liquid with powerful kicks off the water, he controlled the twin currents of water withing his sphere and made their movements change into several different patterns. There were many ways the blue mage was capable of manipulating them, however the most common few were a mix of offensive and defensive movements.

The first style of current control Yaku practiced was making both currents spin together to converge on a single target. This increased the offensive power greatly and would be ideal for crushing stubborn or large targets. The second style was having them spin around the perimeter of the sphere to ward off attacks. The final method Yaku spent a decent amount of time training was using them to push things out of the water sphere. This would allow him to prevent people from drowning inside his deep blue prison of water if that was not his desire. He could also quickly remove any allies who might be caught up in the spell that way.

Finally Yakuroro had completed the spell and was able to cast it one final practice time with pride. The costly magoi consumption demanded to cast the spell was worth the impressive range of uses it could provide. Satisfied with his training and efforts, Yakuroro would spend another day resting again. However the next morning, he would be up early and on his way to Magnostadt Academy to find a green magician. It was time to learn some sound magic.

~1178/1125 Word Count~

Spoiler:

Magnostadt Academy had yet to accept Yakuroro's application to join as both student and citizen of Magnostadt. This forced him to hire a green magician for tutoring as opposed to simply attending a class like all the mages currently enrolled. The price was almost unreasonably high and it seemed like there was only one professor with knowledge of sound magic available at the moment. The Imuchakk had spent all of the last day resting and was too restless to wait another few days for the busy professors to free up, so he bit his tongue and paid the funds required to purchase Melfore, the green magician's time.


Melfore was born blind, but the blessings of the rukh had made him extremely adept at using sound magic. Perhaps it was because of his blindness that Melfore was so in touch with green rukh. Regardless, there was something to be said about a man who could become a professor at Magnostadt despite lacking sight. "Greetings, my name is Melfore. I'm here for sound magic lessons?" The green mage introduced himself as he entered the training room Yakuroro had rented for the tutoring. He was carrying a glass container, some tuning rods, bells, and what looked to be several small black balls in another glass container.

"Please come in, I'm the one who hired you. I am a Blue Magician from Imuchakk, I am called Yakuroro." The giant of a man gestured for Melfore to step inside and then felt foolish as he realized the man's eyes were covered and that he was likely blind. Yaku made a face which said he felt like he'd done something ignorant, but the green mage simply laughed as he entered the room and set the materials brought down on a table, "Hahahaha, don't make a face like that! It doesn't suit someone as big as you."

Yakuroro blinked at Melfore and asked, "You can see? The rumors say you are blind and your eyes are covered!" Yaku's surprise just made the professor chuckle more as he picked up the glass container and brought it closer for Yaku to see while explaining, "Nope, I've been blind since I was born. I've never known what "seeing" is like. The rukh just told me. You should be able to hear them too, come, listen." The young man pushed the container closer to Yakuroro whom had to kneel down to properly see inside due to his height and the lid not being see through. But as Yaku's perspective changed he noticed the fluttering green rukh inside the jar. There was a bit of sound magic inside!

"Normally all the sounds around us around too dispersed and the amount of green rukh present is so small even magician's can't see it. Naturally, it's hard for you the hear their voices too. But when we gather enough green rukh together like this, the power becomes stronger and hearing their voices..." As Malfore's voice trailed off Yaku's eyes lit up as he indeed heard the rukh speaking to him. "Yes? I'm listening...Tell me..." He stared at the green rukh long and hard while waiting for the voices to become clear. At last, he heard the name on a simple spell and produced the magoi to cast it, "Ring!"

The green rukh inside the glass container fluttered about and a high pitched but thankfully soft ringing tone sounded from inside the glass. Yakuroro looked up to Melfore with a smile whom was smiling back as he said, "Congratulations Yakuroro of the Imuchakk. You just cast sound magic." The northerner jumped once and did a guts pose while cheering heartily. He had not expected it to be this easy...and as it turned out, it wasn't. "Not so fast, you've only taken the first step. That simple little tone alone is useless, especially if you need the rukh to be so condensed in order to cast it." The anchors of reality were firmly set and Yaku felt awkward for having gotten so excited over such little progress.

"That is why I brought these." Melfore gestured to the tuning rod and bells and had Yakuroro start playing them to generate sounds. The Imuchakk was to repeat this action until he could see the sound rukh as they moved through the air. In time they became more and more clear until Yaku was able to cast the "ring" spell without the aid of pre-condensed green rukh. Once Yaku reached this point, Melfore removed one of the small black balls he brought and tossed it in the middle of the room. There was a small shockwave as it created a sound explosion which disorientated the training Yaku. After surprising his student, Melfore explained that Yaku's next step was to try and understand the rukh while the sound explosion occurred and then try to reproduce the effect using magic.

Yakuroro began his new training right away and accepted a pair of ear plugs from the sound magician so as to save his ear drums from the torture of constant sonic booms. 99 bombs in the jar on the desk, 99 bombs in the jar! One bomb, two bomb, three bomb, four! Take one out, blow it about, 52 bombs left in the jar! But still no progress. Yakuroro was doing something fundamentally wrong as he set off the bombs and tried to listen. The Imuchakk was subconsciously tensing himself before the explosion and this strain on his body made it hard for him to hear the rukh at the moment of the blast itself. By the time Yaku relaxes himself again the explosion isn't over, but the sound wave that contained the rukh's massage would have already passed his body. Seeing this, Melfore had Yakuroro go outside and try again after throwing the bomb as far as he could. The Imuchakk obeyed and tried once more. The massive muscles of the Imuchakk would allow him to throw the shockwave producing orb far enough that it slowed down the time it would take before the sound blast reached him just enough that Yaku was relaxed in time to hear the message. With the new spell in his mind's eye, Yakuroro shouted it gladly, "Boom!" A small bursting sound wave erupted from the head of Yaku's staff and Melfore nodded in satisfaction.

The tutoring from the green magician would sadly end there as all the time Yaku paid for had elapsed. But not Yakuroro had the basic foundation for creating is own sound magic spells.

When Melfore left Yakuroro, the Green magician left him with a gift of sorts in recognition of his talent with sound magic. It was a tome full of hand written notes and knowledge about sound magic which were all hand written by Melfore. "There is a lot that sound magic can do that we haven't gone over and it would be a shame if you had to wait until you were approved by the academy to be able to continue your training. My old journal on sound magic is full and I've run out of space to write things years ago. Since I was given a new one by the chancellor when I became a professor, how about you take my old journal. May it serve you better than I." The parting words wouldn't be the last Yakuroro ever shared with the blind sound mage, but for now their paths had split.

Yakuroro began pouring over the journal looking for new concepts and read up about the ways sound magic can be used to effect your opponent's mind and make suggestions. Yaku set to work on uncovering just exactly how one went about commanding sound rukh to do so. First he needed a sound to transmit the suggestion, so Yakuroro told the rukh to produce a dull buzzing sound from the head of his staff. The rukh in the sound waves being produced were then told to enter the opponents ears with a subliminal message to the brain suggesting they have suddenly become very dizzy. After testing the spell out on a few poor unsuspecting mages whom were running laps to build physical stamina. Each time one came within range of his spell they would hardly make it another step before stumbling to the ground in confusion.

The next chapter in Melfore's legacy which had been left in Yaku's care was how the rukh were capable of recording and storing information so long as a bit of magoi was offered. Interested in these recording methods, Yakuroro studied the chapter deeper and read about several experiment the green mage had tried in order to discover more about commands used for recording. Sound magic was capable of producing vibrations and so it could record voices easily enough, but recording written text was another story.

From what Yakuroro could tell of the old notes, he would need some kind of medium which could be used to store written text on that is made from magoi and rukh. Using something from the environment or a piece of paper simply wouldn't do. The only magical medium Yakuroro could make were water and ice and since one clearly cant write in water, the Imuchakk decided that Ice it would be. He summoned a large sheet of ice and pressed it against the inner walls of Magnostadt which were engraved with magical markings. Then, the sound rukh were commanded to hit the surface with sound to record every marking and scratch in the wall before chiseling a copy onto the surface of the ice.

Through this spell, he would be able to save and record important information which the rukh would remember for up to a month before he would need to refresh the recording.

After mastering his recording technique, Yakuroro no longer had to try and remember the notes in the tome or risk ruining it by bringing it along during training. Instead, he could simply record the pages he wanted for the moment and summon them on a tablet of ice whenever he needed a refresher. Since Yakuroro was now liberated from the leash of the journal, he decided to take a trip to the coast in order to to some research while out and about in the middle of public.

Yakuroro spent the next couple of days sitting on a bench in the middle of a market where there were all kinds of noises and people coming and going. If Yakuroro focused, he could see the sound rukh fluttering all over the place. Vibration and sound was a natural phenomenon that occurred as a result of almost everything. Being away are this now, Yakuroro was much more aware of just how busy and present this rukh was in everyone's daily life.

"The influence of a whisper should never be disregarded..."

Yakuroro finished reading the the last line of hand scribbled notes that were carved at the bottom of a small tome if ice in his hands. This chapter was more about sending suggestions into the opponents mind to create illusions without bending the light. Yaku decided to try making this technique his own and when no one was looking he would send magoi into his staff allowing the rukh to produce an ear piercing high tone. The sound rukh in this tone were commanded to send a subliminal suggestion to the brain that left and right had become reversed. When Yaku cast the spell, people turned to look at the source and would spot him every time. But the following confusion of their directions suddenly becoming switched made it impossible to keep eyes on him for long. Yaku's test on the unsuspecting public was a success!

After trying the spell out on a number of different people, Yakuroro came to realize a few things. The maximum effective range he could manage to affect people with was 20m regardless of whether they could still hear the ear piercing tone or not. The second was that he should not try sound magic in the presence of sound magician as doing so only leads to a quick and brutal scolding about using other magician's as unwitting guinea pigs. Apparently that job is reserved for the poor mutated beasts kept locked up in the academy.

Sound magic was delightfully fun for Yakuroro whom had made it a staple of his lively hood to deceive and trick others. Sound magic allowed the Imuchakk to create just the right amount of madness and doubt in an opponent. It was like a chef had just been given a bottle of the finest sauce for cooking. If his opponent's defeat could be symbolized as a meal, then sound magic was the ideal seasoning to bring out all the rich flavors. Victory was that much sweeter when Yakuroro knew his opponent was dancing to a tune the Imuchakk had written himself.

But for all the progress in communicating with green rukh Yakuroro had made, he was still avoiding the next step. Combination magic. Sure, his recording spell made use of both sound and ice magic separately, but in the end they were still two different magics. Yakuroro needed to combine them in a way so that a new phenomenon occurs. The Imuchakk thought back to the concussion bombs Melfore had used to train him and how they were similar to the terrifying blasts of ice that would be made by the rampaging unicorn. Yaku remembered watching several hunts end in an Imuchakk's death due the the ice shards sent flying in a spray of deadly shrapnel when the beast smashed its formidable horn into glaciers.

Yakuroro decided that he would create a magic type which would replicate this fearsome power by mixing the vibrations of sound with solid ice. Yakuroro began by forming a ball of ice spikes that were as dense and compact as he could manage and then sent it to float in the air about 20m away from his location before suddenly adding sound magic into the ice. The vibrations were commanded to suddenly form several sonic booms creating a spherical chain of shockwaves sending fragmented ice spikes everywhere for 10m. The concussive blast had enough force to send the ice cutting deeply into nearby targets he had set up made of wood and paper. The shockwaves themselves seemed to also send a few of the targets flying a couple meters. "Cold Shock!" Yakuroro declared the name of his new spell once the rukh revealed it to him. His first combination spell was now complete!

With all this magic training inside the city, Yakuroro realized that he hadn't seen the ocean in months and was starting to miss Balbadd for it's convenient proximity to the sea. It was time for a trip to the beach for the traveling Imuchakk. Yakuroro set out from Magnostadt's city gates early in the morning to start the long journey to cross the great plains spanning the distance between the magician's city and the closest greater body of water. Yakuroro decided to hitch a ride on a merchan caravan that was heading west to a small port village before taking their goods further across the ocean to Heliohapt. Not wanting to wake up in a foreign country again like when Lady Soushui abducted him to Zou, Yakuroro kept his wits sharp about him until the caravan reached the shore. They passed a number of farms along the way and even stopped for breakfast at a roadside traveler outpost that sold general supplies such as food and wagon repairs.

They reached the coast a couple hours before noon and then parted ways. The merchants continued onward towards the pharaoh's domain whilst Yakuroro was already at his destination. The Imuchakk took in a deep breath of the salty sea breeze as he stretched his large muscles and made his way over to the shore. After finding a decent place to put his robes, Yakuroro dressed down to just the casual hide pants he wore beneath his elegant blue robes. Yaku placed a heavy rock over his clothing to ensure that it didn't blow away. He then turned to the tide with staff in hand and ran into the waves as they began receding. The Imuchakk dove in underneath the current of the next wave and let himself be pulled deeper into the ocean. Bubbles began to form over Yakuroro's whale-like skin which adjusted the friction his body had against the water. Less friction meant more speed and they also allowed his powerful leg muscles to kick off the water as if it were solid ground. These swift and powerful kicks would quickly take Yakuroro through the water at 10m/s.

The Imuchkk Magician sped past the shore and to the sea shelf where the ocean drops off to much greater depths and descended even further still. Yakuroro had no particular goal in mind as he descended into darker waters where less light from above could reach. The pressure on his body was starting to get intense, even for an Imuchakk, but he had reached a shelf where lots of sea life had flourished. It was about three miles long and another four miles wide. Even Yakuroro would be unable to survey the entire thing on one breath alone. Speaking of which, he couldn't hold his for all too much longer before he would need to start resurfacing. While Yakuroro had no one specific goal in being here other than to relax and enjoy the ocean, drowning was certainly not among the results he was hoping for.

Yakuroro was about to ascend for a breath but he was taking a few moments of silence with his eyes closed. Deep underwater Yaku felt some sort of peace. Perhaps it was because he was a water magician, perhaps it was because of his sound magic training, but likely partially due to both; Yakuroro noticed an unfamiliar message from the rukh in the form of a small shockwave traveling through the water. Yakuroro's eyes shot open and he looked around for the source of the sound. His eyes scanned and scanned but he couldn't seem to spot it and it wasn't happening again to narrow down his search. The pressure around his lungs was beginning to burn and Yakuroro knew that if he didn't go soon he'd be in trouble, but if he surfaced now there was no telling how long it would take him to find this spot on the shelf again.

Finally the sound happened again and Yakuroro turned in the water to spot a small shrimp. It swiftly lashed it's knucked claw out and snapped it shut against the shell of a pour sea creature. At first Yaku thought the sound wave was coming from the force of its claw striking the shell, but when the Pistol Shrimp struck again the rukh told Yakuroro the truth of the phenomenon. The incredible speed and force of the shrimps claw closing displaced the water causing a cavitation bubble. The force of this bubble would produce an incredible amount of heat and force allowing the shrimp to break the shell open in time and get to the meal inside.

Unable to hold his breath any longer, Yakuroro hurried to the surface and barely made it to air in time. Just a second longer and he would have drowned as Yaku felt his vision start to go dark during those last few seconds surfacing. Out of breath and exhausted, Yakuroro swam to shore. Once he caught his breath, Yaku entered the ocean once again, but this time with a purpose. He observed and watched the pistol shrimp for the next three weeks and took to simply living on the beach during that time. By prodding the shrimp with his staff he could provoke it into attacking allowing Yaku plenty of time to study the phenomenon and the natural rukh behind it.

At last, he was ready to attempt it himself. Yakuroro commanded the water around him to condense onto one point creating an increase in pressure while simultaneously commanding sound rukh to produce several small sonic booms displacing the water and creating a cavitation bubble as a result. As Yakuroro increased the scale of this phenomenon from the tiny punch of the pistol shrimp into a 15m scale spell, the results were beautifully destructive. The resulting sound wave as heat the cavitation bubble caused were able to break bones and deal nasty second degree burns as Yakuroro found out the hard way by setting a big one off too close to himself.
