Master Of None

Space. It was something that everyone was able to know without actually knowing. Without understanding, everyone influenced space and space influenced them. The space that their bodies and souls occupied was a true fact of the world. A reason that they existed and a reason that they could influence other things in space. 

While the space they occupied was not unique to them, it was something that everyone was able to be part of. Many had wished they could understand why they were and what they were. But not many had been able to directly understand what space was. 

There were many theories that came and went that had been written and lost over time. Many researchers that had no affinity or had a great affinity to space had been influenced by their studies of space. Some had even discovered space mana to exist but been unable to understand it. 

This was simply the balance of space. The dangers that came with what it was and how to control it. But there were the unique beings that were able to conjure enough for that mana and manipulate it. 

Those people could still be called on by the world with quests to be able to help or to influence the way of the world. One had even appeared before Walker and the party to change many things. This call of the world had influenced them and allowed Walker to sense mana he had not been able to comprehend. 

At the time, Walker had not realized he could do anything. He had taken the scrolls and been amazed that the world was able to call on someone that didn't even live in the world. However, he had been blind to the fact that the being had come front he world and chose to travel outside of it using the spatial skills and mana that they had. 

Therefore, now that Walker was faced with a space bring flame, he was able to understand that the slight feelings he had back then, were more than what he realized. That the use of his high spatial storage was also more than what he could understand. 

He had been foolish and blind in a way. He had not opened his senses enough to be able to understand what the manas he felt at the time really were. His body had always had the ability to use and feel all manas. He had the affinity but not the understanding. 

This had been proven with elemental manas and with natural manas. But that learning had further blinded him in a  way. Not that he could see less, but because he relied on that feeling. However, because he was in a  more isolated environment now where he could solely focus on the space mana he was looking at being used by the unique fire spirit. 

By letting himself forget and ignore all other manas, Walker recalled the feeling of being teleported. The balances of manas being swapped to allow for the teleportation. The fact that space could not be entirely empty and it could never be entirely fully. This was because space held a balance greater than everything. It did not interfere nor did it stay idle. 

Space was not some small balance because it was outside of what they understood. It was a larger mana force that governed more than just what they could see. But even space was imbalanced right now. 

Simply because the areas between the other planes of existence were separated. Space as a whole should not be like that. There should be a balancing flow between all of them. This broken flow was something that space tried to fill but constantly failed to do so. Walker could vaguely sense the odd way that mana flowed around space. As if it was trying to find solutions to imbalance. 

This wasn't some will of the world but just how nature was. If there was a hole, water would fill it. In Walker's mind, space mana was the reason why water would fill the empty hole over time. It was the way he could comprehend space. It was his way to allow what he sensed to make proper lines of thought within his mind. 

But he also understood that by working with spatial mana, he could cause the reactions he desired. 

With a small pop, there was a small shift in the manas all around the room. The wandering blacksmith looked up to see that a single pearl, one with high water affinity had been moved from the table to right in front of Walker. 

He had imagined that the space mana created a hole without manas where Walker wanted. Then the pearl had been moved there to replace the manas missing. "So space can be used by moving where mana should be and where it is  currently." This theory meant that Walker could move dangerous manas away if they gathered. This included the dangers that came with attacks. 

Furthermore, there was the fact that he had managed to make the spatial mana react the way that he desired. It wasn't by force, but by pushing mana away from a place and adding mana elsewhere. That was how he was able to make spatial mana bend and shift. 

This was why the rune formation had worked. The elemental space teleportation rune formation had worked because it was an equivalent exchange of denser manas that were moved to a place where they become less than. If this was the reason, then Walker could further improve it with the right assistants. He just needed more expert rune carvers to show him the most advanced elemental runes and potentially other runes they had to show him. Stronger runes. 

This theory was just the start though. The flames that the unique fire spirit held close were reacting to what Walker was doing. The small amount of space mana that Walker had called on to help move the water pearl was enough to cause the flames to dance more. But they also became more solid when he had done so. 

This was the usage of the space mana in the space flames. They fed off of space mana and that brought them more solidity within the forge. It made them more clearly defined within this space. Therefore, adding the strength of such flames would mena that Walker constantly manipulate space mana to make these flames denser. 

"OH!" the wandering blacksmith leaped out of his chair and threw aside what he had been writing down as a new theory for a forging technique. His eyes were wide open. He might not have been able to open them wider even if he was forced to. He was looking at what Walker had done and the more solid space eating flames with curiosity and understanding. 

He knew that Walker had managed to make them more solid and that Walker had a slight control. But he also understood that he could make a metal that was attracting some of the space mana by removing mana from it. He had understood this just by seeing what Walker had done. 

"More, do that more!" The wandering blacksmith took a solid piece of metal and began heating it in the elemental forge furnaces. He was stripping it of all the manas within. Something that a blacksmith would do to allow metals to come together and remove the impurities. It would also remove certain opposing affinities from materials that could cause a worse effect on the overall product being forged. 

Regardless, when the piece of metal reached where Walker stood, he knew what the wandering blacksmith wanted. Instead of bringing it to the flames physically, then remained back away from them. 

Walker made the move to make a space where the super heated metal could be brought to. He removes the mana right inside the space flames. The elemental manas which had flowed normally around and through it suddenly gone, made the manas around the ingot of metal the natural selection to balance it. 

When another loud popping sound was made, the metal was gone and the entire area in the forge was full of wind and shifting manas. The flames of space danced wildly and had appeared very much solid as they burned the heated ingot. The inside was devoid of manas which was an imbalance. However, the fact that these flames held space mana allowed for the space mana to easily penetrate the metal. It melded with the flames before it was thrust from the forge because it was too dense. 

The manas reacted and the metal attracted all sorts of manas. Even manas that Walker's mind did not grasp. The wandering blacksmith used a hammer to shape it, the unknown metal they had just created. But Walker could sense it. The metal was drawing in manas using space since it still seemed empty. But the essence of what it was, the filled with space mana that it was, made it full. Therefore, this metal always attracted all manas. An astounding event.
