Master Of None

Walker's statement made a large amount of conversation start within a second. He was hit with so many theories at the same time since every mage around wanted to test their own idea. This of course caused a lot of arguments as well. Walker soon realized that he was left with only three people still willing to have a normal conversation.Â

"We rarely work together since our elements are opposites, but if you want to mix them I think you should keep them as equals." The dark elemental mage was trying his best to stay calm and not get overly excited.Â

"I agree that we should keep them equal, but the light element will want to spread out and go back in to the air around us. We should use the darkness elemental mana to contain it." The light elemental mage agreed on the fact that the elements should balance, but he wanted to see one element covering the other.

"It is true that the darkness element is better suited for an outer shell. Shadows are a lot more stable being out in the sunlight but I can see the light element trying to break free and spread out in the sun."

"Well the darkness elemental mana would spread out at night so we should use the light elemental mana as the outside in that case."

Walker's idea was added on to by the dark elemental mage. The three fell in to deep thought. "It sounds to me that you three needed to find a way for the two elements to switch places with each other without a problem." Alma chimed in wanting to help. The three instantly felt inspiration in this. All they had needed was an outside perspective,

"So we need an element to keep the two close and balanced but also trapped until we need them." Walker had a feeling that the two skills were perfectly compatible with a stabilizing element.Â

"We can't use the wind element mana because it would let the light and darkness flow through it. It is too spread out anyways." Walker agreed with the light mage theory.

"Then we could say the same for the water element. To hide the light or darkness elemental mana would need a huge amount of water elemental mana. By that point, it isn't worth trying to fuse the energy since the mass would be great."Â

The dark elemental mage was speaking from experience. He had tried to make a fusion many years ago with the water elemental mages. The idea was a decaying bomb of water, but the darkness always seeped out. In the end, if they got enough water together to keep it trapped they were creating an attack so large that the darkness elemental mana inside was overkill.

"Well, fire elemental mana is out. It is tied with light elemental mana and could just throw it out of balance. Trust me, I know after making the dark flames, they were tough to make happen without Midnight's decaying breath attack starting to manifest as a guideline." Walker ruled out one of the last two elements.

"Then you use the earth elemental mana. It can be dark or light easily by using a crystal substance." Alma had already reached the same conclusion as the other three. They would be forced to sue earth elements. The trouble was shaping a crystal in a quick moment.Â

"Can any earth elemental mage make a crystal weapon or crystal shaping in just a few seconds?' Walker's words drew the attention of every mage again. Their theories were just thrown for a loop and he was again about to start another experiment.Â

"I can do that!" One of the farthest away mages rushed up. "I am a crystal mage. I just unlocked my system a few months ago. I was almost too late when I broke a scrying crystal and tried to fix it." The young crystal mage from the earth side was very excited to be of some help. He was spewing too much information and the other mages felt embarrassed for him.Â

"Don't worry about him Walker, he is just a kid. He will help though. Crystal mage systems are rare in the earth side of magic. He should be able to help out even with just a small manipulation skill." Alma apologized for the young mage's actions.

"It's fine. I like the energy, just put it towards solving my problem." Walker gave Alma a nod of thanks before he and the other two mages' focused on the crystal mage. "I want to place these two elemental skills within a piece of crystal so that I can use their effects whenever I need to especially during different times of the day."Â

The crystal mage scratched his head and went silent. After some moments of hard thinking, he had a few ideas. "You could try to learn the crystal pole skill. It is mainly to create a buff effect for healers though." This sounded like it was almost what Walker needed, but since it would only channel the light element to add a benefit to healers it wouldn't work for the darkness elemental mana.

"You could try to learn the crystal sword skill. It condenses and makes a crystal sword in only a few seconds. I am not sure if mana can be added to it though. I am too low level to use that skill, I just studied it in my books." This sounded the most viable so far, but Walker saw that the crystal mage was ready to say one more thing.

"Lastly, I think the crystal crafting skill would work. It is a unique crafting skill that some crystal mages learn. If you can make a hollow crystal base in the shape of a pole or orb then you can make the elemental manas go inside. Then with your high earth sculpting skill, you can change its shape. The only reason you would need the crystal crafting is so the crystal would be tough enough to withstand the mana put inside, it would cost too much mana to force the crystals to change shape and hold another mana." Walker's eyes widened.Â
