Standard Mage

There are three magic types,

Earth, Fire, and Water.

From these, using spirit energy, one can create the material and manipulate it freely. Spirit energy in this world is the equivalent of mana. To begin a spell, one must first chant the creation spell, with longer chants making more of the element. Once the chant is complete and the material has been manifested, it can be manipulated freely. This takes spirit energy and can change anything about the element.

Brutus came to this world using reincarnation. Winrar has tasked him with taking humanity to the dark continent to make settlements. Brutus lived a normal life in the countryside for a few years past his birth. Brutus's reincarnation had been found by a passing adventurer in the ruins of a recently destroyed town. Because of Brutus's infinite power, he would have been fine just being left there. Some demon hoard probably destroyed the town and killed everyone except him. When Brutus reached 3 years old he started using the sword, and quickly impressed the adventurer. Eventually the adventurer caught a deadly disease and died, so Brutus had to leave home after 6 years in the new world. He knew a few things from the adventurer and was ready to face the world. Brutus first went to a nearby town that the adventurer had gone to before and got on a carage to a major city. Brutus had the use of enhancing and thus divine construction/destruction, but knowing the world's native magic system could be useful if it had special magic like teleportation. Brutus was taken to a large walled city and requested to join a magic school, however he would need money for it so he went to the adventurer's guild. Brutus took a job to kill some monsters and left to do it. Brutus made a sword from the ground with his enhancing and killed the beast with some difficulty. The beast of this world were very different from the ones on Epic or any other world he had been on. Brutus went back to the guild and gave then the materials and received the money. They did not think that Brutus was the one that had killed the monsters. Brutus then went to the magic school and enrolled there. It was small and had 17 people total there. The teacher was a moderately old man with gray hair. There were some people older than Brutus and some people younger than him. In addition to practicing magic, Brutus also got a room at an inn near the edge of the city. It was a cheap place, but Brutus did not have many belongings to secure. Brutus learned about the magic system being able to create matter and being able to manipulate said matter when away from the body which was a big increase to the effectiveness of enhancing which had to directly connect with the body. Brutus was always practicing and eventually became the best at the school and was urged by the teacher to go to the magic university, but Brutus had to parents and no money so he could not. He had a basic understanding of how to use magic and learned from watching other people do it, so he could start adventuring himself. Brutus is now 7 years old. Brutus has been going to the adventurer's guild for a while and taking contracts to kill beast in the wild, and is now ready to join a party. Brutus joined a party with a few people 7 years old is not too early to join a party and Brutus looks around for one with not too many members and mostly mages. Brutus is able to find one that is looking for someone to join, but they were looking for an adult. They let Brutus join up with them but only with giving him less of a stake in the rewards. Brutus is fine with this, he mostly need to get knowledge of the world by adventuring with other people. The party gets two more swordsmen and they stay one more night in the city and leave the next day. The party is looking for a dungeon to test the strength of the new members. Dungeons in this world and nest to many types of beast that all work together to protect a wealth of treasures at the bottom of the nest. Some distance from the city, the party came to a small dungeon. The two new swordsmen and Brutus went in. Brutus made a sword using earth magic and hardened it greatly. The two swordsmen had brought swords with them, but Brutus was still small and could not carry very many things with him. The dungeon only had slimes and rats in it. The slimes were the size of basketballs and the rats were a little smaller. Once at the bottom of the dungeon, the swordsmen took the soul crystal and left. They gave the soul crystal to the party leader and were welcomed to the party. Brutus did not understand what kind of welcoming ritual this was because this dungeon was too easy. Once all people leave a dungeon, it is restocked with monster and a new soul crystal, but the monsters get a little stronger and the soul crystal a little smaller. Eventually the monsters will go back to the normal amount and the soul crystal will get bigger. The party went on a journey for a few days to find another dungeon that would take everyone's cooperation. They entered on that had spiders in it. The spiders were larger than the previous slimes and had several special abilities. To cover themselves in fire or harden their body like rock. The party was able to go to the bottom of the dungeon and met the boss. Only large dungeons will have a boss in them, and this one had a spider over 10 feet tall and dropped bombs from it's body. The fight was hard and one of the swordsmen was severely injured, but the boss spider was killed and the soul crystal was taken. There was also some loot, but most of it had parts blown out from the explosions from the boss spider. The swordsman latter died. Brutus continued with the party for a few more months, going to a new dungeon every few days. Brutus was training his magic with the other mages in the party. They thought that they were strong, but to Brutus who had lived thousands of years, they were small fry. The soul crystal is a rock that can be used to store spirit energy. Any mage can put their spirit energy into a soul crystal and retrieve it in battle, which makes casting large amounts of spells that would normally exhaust ones spirit energy pool possible. Soul crystals will however gradually chip away as spirit energy is taken out of them and can only be reused a few times. This makes them the most valuable thing in the current market. Brutus left the party and went to find out more about magic. Brutus had learned in other worlds they had summoning and enchanting, but this world did not seem to have any of that. Brutus head to the magic university were they studied the application of magic and soul crystals. Along the way, Brutus had to battle many beast and went into a few dungeons to get the soul crystals. Brutus preferred the method of stomping on the ground to sends piece of rock up and then punching it to project it over using magic, but mages of this world were not able to influence rock that they did not personally create, so he could only do this by himself. Brutus also used the fire enhancing many times. Though fire magic could make a fireball to be thrown very far, fire enhancing allowed Brutus to create much larger amounts of fire. Brutus came to the city the magic university was in and sold the soul crystals and bought a dimensional storage ring. The dimensional storage ring enabled the wearer to store a few cubic feet of items within it and retrieve them the same way they would use magic to summon a piece of rock or water. In the magic university city, Brutus saw a few new uses of magic that were not anywhere else. In addition to the dimensional storage ring, there were rocks that if touched could produce fire, earth, or water. These were being sold as magic weapons and armor, but they costed a huge amount of money. Brutus had some money with him, but it was not even enough to buy the magic equipment after buying the storage ring. Brutus went to the magic university. Inside, he would have to pay almost everything he had to attend normal classes. Brutus paid the money and was put into some test to see how much spirit energy he had. Brutus was given a soul crystal to hold and was instructed to put as much spirit energy as he could into it. Because Brutus had been perceived because of his infinite power on other worlds, Brutus knew to not put too much into the soul crystal. Brutus filled it with a large amount, but not more than ever seen before. Brutus was given a silver badge and moved to the silver league of the university. Apparently, the ranking in the university went from Bronze, Silver, Gold, Super and then Legendary. Most new students were the Bronze rank and the very best were gold rank. Only by training very hard could someone become Super rank, and only a few dozen people in history reached Legendary rank. The classes Brutus could take were water creation, fire creation, water freezing and earth creation. Apparently, creating water could be drank if it was altered a bit after forming, and could be used by plants. Water could also be used to rust weapons and be created in many varying sizes. Water was the easiest of the elements to form into new shapes. Fire was one of the hardest elements to get control of. Opposed to his school in the first town that only taught of to create fire, the magic university taught how to make fireballs with it and make fire explode all around the mage. Ice was a type of water magic, at it was what gave water magic the most of it's offensive ability. Ice however was harder to make than the other elements, but could enable to user to walk on lakes because it would also freeze the natural water. Earth magic was the hardest for most people. Those who did not have sufficient spirit energy could not control what they created to make it into special shapes or even throw it very fast. It was know that by making the earth magic summoned into a spear and rotating it as it was thrown would make it go straighter and go more damage, but this was very had for many people. In addition to these lessons, it was also taught how to cast spells without the chant. This was the hardest thing to do because in addition to thinking about what they wanted to create, the mage also had to think about the movement of spirit energy in their body. Age was not very important to people in the magic university and so people of all ages were in Brutus's class. In the next year of three, Brutus joined a new class with a few of the people from his old one and some new people. The people who were not in his class had to leave the university because they did not have efficient spirit energy or did not have the natural talent to perform magic. The second year focused mostly on magic theory and making special materials with earth magic. Things like iron and ruby could be made from earth magic in addition to rocks. It was shown that jewels can be made with earth magic to place into jewelry to show status which is why many high rank mages look rich. The jewels take a constant flow of spirit energy to maintain their form though. Iron and steel earth magic was able to much more damage than the regular stone, and was able to make armor in emergency situations. Brutus was 8 years old in his new body. The next year, even more people dropped out, and the final year of the university was the most difficult of all the others. This year they taught how to use more than one type at a time. Normally a mage would choose one type of magic to train in so they can have many instances of it at one, but if they wanted to use a second type they would have to dispel all the summoned instances of the element. Normal mages could not make a cup with earth magic and place water in it with water magic. Brutus was able to complete all 3 years of the normal classes at 9 years old. This was fairly impressive, and many people at the adventurer's guild wanted Brutus in their party. However, Brutus had other plans. The next thing for him to do was go to the knight academy. This place trained swordsmen and gave them knight certifications. The two swordsmen Brutus worked with in his first party were not certified knights, and they died because they did not have enough skill. Though Brutus had the skill and the strength to hold a huge sword, he wanted the knight certification. The knight certification would allow Brutus to get special lodging in cities and he would be able to carry a sword with him at all times. In previous worlds, Brutus would carry a 8 foot long sword and have it confiscated in large cities or shops because it was so dangerous, and to get a license to carry his sword anywhere would help him. Brutus knew the sword technique to graduate the academy when he joined, and to start off he made himself a sword normally sized, but eventually moved up to a 6 foot sword. After 4 years in the academy, at 13 years old, Brutus had the knight certification and went to a few more dungeons to get soul crystals. Brutus's larger body was getting better had holding a huge sword. Brutus missed his 8 foot sword that would pulverize stone walls in a single slash. Brutus met up with some people in a large city and invited them to his party. They were both swordsmen with knight certification. With those two, Brutus went and recruited a female mage who used fire magic and another that used water magic. Brutus was only 13 but he had his knight certification and the magic university graduation ring, so he became the leader of the party and named it Void Sent. Brutus and his party went from town to town clearing many dungeons and killing many beast on the outside. Two years later, Brutus was with his party in a far away land and encountered a bounty for a titan. A monstrous beast that could grow over 200 feet tall. Brutus and the party accepted the bounty and went to look for the titan. As they were going to leave they city, Brutus's party told him they were unsure about being able to kill the titan. Though they had gone through many dungeons and killed many beast on the surface, they did not think they could kill a titan. Brutus told them they could wait in the city until he returned to scout it out, and then he would make the decision on if to attack it or not. Brutus went alone to find the titan. Brutus looked for a few days and eventually found it. The titan was almost 180 feet tall and was moving very fast with it's huge legs in the mountains. If not for his wind enhancing and huge strength, Brutus would not have been able to keep up, and his party would have only slowed him down. Brutus created the largest and strongest steel sword he could make with his spirit energy, and it ended being almost 20 feet long. Brutus jumped at the leg of the titan and slashed at it with the sword. Brutus was only able to leave a small cut on the leg. The titan and Brutus battled. Brutus gave the titan cut after cut, send steel bullets at the soft spots on it's body many times. Eventually, Brutus was able to cut off part of the leg. The titan fell to the ground with a huge crash and caused avalanches. Brutus used water enhancing to push the snow out of the way and stabbed the titan on it's back many times. The sword became dented and dull, so Brutus used enhancing on it to make it incredibly sharp. Brutus was finally able to cut the head from the titan. The head was huge, almost 30 feet tall. Brutus took the head with him back to the town and caused a celebration for the defeat of such a huge beast. Brutus was later informed that the insides of titans are filled with valuable soul crystals that he should have taken, but the head still had many inside it. Brutus took the soul crystals from the head and when back to get the ones from the body, but it was already starting to return to the void, the place which beast and summoned from. Even though it was returning, their should have been some soul crystals left inside, but they were gone. Someone had most likely already looted it after Brutus's battle. A few days later Brutus and the party split up, they were to afraid of the power Brutus had and thought he might force them into a spot were their power would not be enough to keep up. Brutus went to another town on the other side of the mountains were he killed the titan and there was a large commotion in town. Someone was going around saying how their party had killed a titan in the mountains and was throwing valuable soul crystals like they were nothing Such is the huge amount of soul crystals in the body of the titan. Brutus confronted those people, that he was the one who really killed the titan. The people did not actually kill it but they challenged Brutus to prove he was the one who killed it. Brutus challenged them to kill another one. They exchanged looks of wryness and declined the challenge, that they had gotten very lucky with killing this one and they did not want to risk it a second time. Brutus told them to stay in town and he would kill another titan and bring it back to the city. Brutus bought hundreds of feet of rope and left to the mountains. Brutus was gone for a few days and found another titan, this time a little smaller than the one before. Brutus knew not using divine destruction on the last one was a good idea and took this one out with his sword just like last time. Another 20 foot sword, enhanced to make it extremely sharp. Brutus tried to cut the titan and every time it would severely dull the blade. Brutus would then sharpen it and cut again, repeating this until the titan had felled and died. In a few more years when Brutus would be better able to control his strength, he might be able to cut it through in one slash. Brutus tied the rope around the titan and drug it back to the city. Brutus also made a stone sled behind him with ground enhancing. Brutus was getting close to the village and a crowd formed outside it too see the titan being brought forth. The titan was over 150 feet tall and bigger than some people's houses in width. Brutus told everyone to stand back and he used fire magic to burn the body leaving only the bones and the soul crystals inside it. There was a mountain of soul crystals left behind inside the bones, and Brutus jumped into the sled and started throwing the smaller soul gens out to the city and throwing the bones away from the city. Brutus kept was able to keep a few hundred soul crystals for himself in the storage rings he kept on him at all times. Brutus got off the sled and returned it to the earth before facing the crowd again. Brutus yelled that he killed both titans and the people who claimed to have killed the first one were executed. Brutus was brought before the lord of the city and asked to join his army, but Brutus refused. Brutus traveled the continent for a few years until his body could handle his natural strength. Brutus was 16 when he killed the titans. Brutus would stand at a gate of a village and ask people if they needed help finishing a bounty, Brutus helped out many parties killed beast and conquer dungeons, and was eventually brought to the labyrinth. The labyrinth was much larger than any other dungeon, but the walls were small. Most beast in the labyrinth were small and had powerful poison. The boss was a creature far beyond the imagination of man. Brutus met with a group of Super rank mages and one legendary mage who were going to challenge the labyrinth. Brutus's name carried great weight at this point and so did the legendary mage. She was legendary. The group made their way to the labyrinth. It was a few month journey away. Once at the gate, they saw a few dozen people outside. They had all been helped by the legendary mage and came to help with the camp on the surface. Medical tools and food were prepared and the group headed into the labyrinth. On the first floor were many slimes. These slimes spat acid balls at the group, but using earth magic they could stop them and used fire magic to kill the slimes. The group went back to the surface and left one person inside so they beast would not respawn. The second floor had strange centipede beast. They were very fast and had hard armor. The mages used water magic to trap the centipedes and cut off their heads. Once again, someone stayed inside while the rest went out to restock. The third floor had pitch black monkeys, they had huge teeth coming out from their mouths and were otherwise impossible to see in the darkness. Fourth floor had bats. Very poisonous. Fifth floor were small balls that rolled around and exploded. On the ceiling were small nest that the bombs were spawning from, they had to be destroyed. Strange creature after strange creature appeared for another 15 floor. At this point, the group stopped going back up to refresh. On the 20th floor, there was a troll that would submerge into darkness and seemed to teleport. One mage was killed. Brutus reinforced the steel armor around himself and kept going with the other 4 mages. Another 6 floors and mage was killed. Two super mages and one legendary mage. Brutus was at the rank of only Gold, but his power was equel to over a Legendary, he just had not taken the test for it. Two more levels and the super mages were killed. A beast like an squid was hanging from the ceiling and stabbed them with lightning speed. Only Brutus and the legendary mage remained. 28 floors through the labyrinth. Brutus and the mage took a while to prepare to move to the next spot, the mage thought she would die in here, but finishing the labyrinth was always a goal of their's after their parents tried to do it and were killed on an unknown floor. Brutus made a deal with the legendary made, that the legendary mage would stay a floor above Brutus and only to come down if he came to get here. The legendary mage was not sure what power Brutus had, but to make it to the 28th floor and to have killed two titans on surface he must be very powerful. She accepted and they both slept. In the morning, or whenever it was that she woke up, Brutus was gone. The mage went to look at the 29th floor and was greeted by Brutus. Brutus explained the beast that was one the floor and had her wait by the entrance to the 30th floor. When Brutus disappeared down the stairs, Huge explosions where heard, it was amazing she did not wake up from these. In the 30th floor, Brutus was using divine destruction to kill the beast. Brutus was frequently being surrounded by black arms from beast trying to kill him, but he had an aura of divine destruction surrounding him and let nothing past. Brutus had to keep this technique secret because it came from another world. Brutus finished killing the beast and got the mage to come down and explained what kind of beast were there. Past this floor almost every beast was a slimy, poison filled, lightning reflexes, death machine. They however could not resist the tearing of their cells on the molecular level. Brutus and the legendary mage reached the 56th level that looked like the boss floor, the last level. Brutus told the legendary mage to wait again, and that if he would be in there a long time because he would be saving the body of the boss for her to inspect. The mage sat down and waited for Brutus. Brutus entered the final floor on a long corridor. The walls were sticky. Tentacles shot out at him. Divine destruction was only able to barely destroy them. Brutus put more power into it and continued. Brutus could feel his power giving way, and even after thousands of years he had now used so much power for so long, and the body he was in was only 17. Brutus reached the end of the corridor and was in a huge open room. On the ceiling were many tentacles swiping at Brutus only to dissolve when they got too close. The tentacles were regrowing at an alarming rate though. Brutus used earth magic to make the hardest steel spear he could and used all his strength to hit the beast on the ceiling. Blood rained down on Brutus in his divine shield, and a puddle was at his feet. Brutus shot more bolts at the beast and the room slowly filled with the blood. There was close to three inches of blood on the floor being evaporated by the divine destruction, and the beast did not show any damage done to it. Brutus then switched to ice and tried to freeze the entire room. Everything was calm for a few seconds until the ice cracked and the tentacles once again flung out. Brutus then tried to use earth and fire at the same time to close the wounds. He should have thought of it sooner. When Brutus did this, the spot did not heal over. Blood still rained everywhere, but there was a visible spot that had been burnt. Brutus took down his divine shield so he could use more strength, and he filled the room with fire, then shot his strongest bolts in all directions and increased the fire event more, then froze everything to near absolute zero. It all happened in less than 10 seconds. Brutus was fighting the boss for a few hours and went back to get the legendary mage. When she came into the room, she was astonished at the size of it, how it was covering the whole room. And surprised at how cold it was. Brutus then had here leave while he went to break it apart to see if it was really dead. The legendary mage left and Brutus shot a scatter of bolts at the creature, which he could not find a head of. The creature shattered. The creature had not been just the surface of the room, but extended several feet upwards. From the ceiling huge chunks of the mostly frozen beast fell, and they started moving. Brutus finished off the last of the beast with quickly rotating fire and ice. Brutus called the legendary mage back in. They sorted through the pieces of the beast that they could pull apart. Various treasures were being stored inside it's body. It looked like hundreds of adventurers had tried to conquer the dungeon and failed. Maybe thousands because of the acidity of the beast destroying anything they had on them. The legendary mage did not find anything they liked and they incinerated the piles of flesh. With all the flesh gone, there was no soul crystal. The mage was stumped, but then they saw an opening on the far wall. The dungeon was not over yet. Brutus went down to the next floor, the 57th floor of the labyrinth. On the next floor was a single man with a gem in their forehead. It was another boss, but Brutus did not know what it would do. Brutus walked closer to it and it stood up. The gem in it's head shown and shot a huge laser out. Brutus jumped out of the way but his left arm was caught and instantly disintegrated. The beast was using a form of divine destruction. Brutus dodged out of the way of the laser and shot a beam of divine destruction at the beast body, careful not to hit the gem because he wanted to save it. As Brutus was able to destroy a large portion of the beast's body, the gem shot an explosive beam engulfing the entire room. Brutus was going to die. Brutus had just barely managed to dodge with his upper body, but the rest was not so fortunate. Brutus called to the legendary mage. The came down and saw the room with holes in all the walls and the floor and the ceiling and Brutus on the floor with less than half his body left. Brutus told her he would come back again someday and they should save the gem. Brutus said the phrase from his past that had made the most impact on him, grizzly infinium, and died. The legendary mage took the gem from the beast which had already merged with the void and left. There was no other treasure in this room or soul crystal. She took a look at Brutus to see if anything could be taken off him, such a powerful adventurer would be sure to have mountains of treasure on them, but anything they were carrying was destroyed by the beast. The legendary mage left the labyrinth with the unknown gen, the equipment of the 4 super mages and the words grizzly infinium. For Brutus, everything was white. Brutus had gone to this dimension one other time, when he died from an unknown magic in another world. Winrar was there and he was displeased. Winrar knew that the gem Brutus was going for was not essential to his mission on the world, but Brutus still went after it. Winrar gave Brutus another try though, and this time put him in the womb of a mother fated to have a stillborn baby. Brutus already knew about the world and was ready to set out on his own at 4 years old. This time, Brutus was going by the name Victor and went to find the legendary mage. Brutus relied on his use of magic much more with this body, and he was not willing to risk dying a second time. The legendary mage was living in a large city devoted to magic research on the other side of the continent from the magic university. Brutus used wind enhancing to make the trip in a few days after saying goodbye to his parents who were reluctant to let him go. At the magic city, Brutus asked around for the legendary mage. There was only one legendary mage in the city, and she was rumored to have reached a new level of magic, and thus they named her the destruction sage. Brutus reached the palace and told the guard the legendary mage was expecting them. The guard asked if she was expecting anyone but she said no. Brutus then told the guard his name was Grizzly. This got Brutus to be allowed inside the palace. Brutus repeated the phrase to the legendary mage, Grizzly infinium, and she welcomed him openly. For the current situation, Brutus was going with he was the son of Brutus had was told prior to his father entering the dungeon that if he did not live, a legendary mage would be carrying his share of the reward. The legendary mage was still thankful for Brutus having solo'ed 25 floors of the labyrinth and defeated the two bosses, so she handed Brutus who was disqused as Victor as much as he could hold. Brutus was interested in one thing though, the gem. He told her that his father was always looking for the gem of infinite power and wrote about his explorations in a journal, just like his father before him. This was all a lie. The legendary mage took Brutus to see the gem. The gem was perfectly symmetrical and shown dimly. The mage explained to Brutus that the wielder of the gem could direct beems of almost infinite destructive power in any direction without causing damage to their hands. The gem also alerted the holder when danger was nearby. The mage also told Brutus about how his fabricated father had cleared many levels of the most dangerous dungeon in the continent without a scratch, but was killed on the last floor by the gem. Brutus told the legendary mage that he knew what his father wanted to do with the gem, to make a settlement on the dark continent using the gem as a protector for the settlement. The mage laughed, the monsters of the dark continent were much more dangerous than any beast on the surface of this continent, the dark continent was a living surface dungeon. Brutus asked to have the gem for his mission to settle the dark continent, but the mage refused, she said she would come along with him when he was older and ready to take on the dark continent. Brutus was happy with that and left the palace with a storage ring full of money. Brutus hid the storage ring on his person and went back home. Brutus lived as a noble for a few more years and reached 7 years old. It was seven years sense he had died the first time and if he hadn't died he would be 23 or so. Brutus asked his parents for some swordsmen and some mages to escort him through some dungeons and they accpeted. Being a noble is great. Brutus and his hired party went to a few dungeons and raided the soul crystal multiple times. Brutus mostly needed the party to make sure people who encountered him would not try to take advantage of him, even though he could still use divine destruction, having a few people come with him to talk with whomever they met was helpful. Brutus devoted himself to dungeon diving. Brutus eventually gained even more mastery with the magic system and began to use all three types at the same time and make multiple instances of each one too. It was too bad that the magic system used particles in the atmosphere to create material, otherwise he would be able to take this ability to the next world. Brutus turned 8 and went back home again. Brutus was making a little name for himself, an 8 year old dungeon diver. Of course, he was known as Victor in this body. Brutus needed at least 8 more years until he could make the trip to the dark continent so he needed a new thing to conquer. Brutus set his sight on enchanting. By putting a large amount of spirit energy into multiple soul crystals over a long time, and then forcing all the spirit energy into a material, the material would have the same properties of the magic element. Because Brutus had so much spirit energy, he was able to enchant tools easily and quickly. A process that would normally take months or years only took him a few minutes. Brutus was going to have to make a town all by himself in the dark continent, and so he needed to make a method for easy construction. The first thing Brutus made was a working toilet. It was a fantastic thing made in the late years of him being on Epic, but every world should have them. Only, this world did not have pluming. The next thing Brutus made was an expandable wall. Brutus made a pole with a 2/3 foot radius and placed enchantments on it so that from two opposite sides it would create thick iron plates. This could be used as emergency walls to surround a village during attacks and to allow passage when peaceful. Brutus then made something like a shower head. Many small water enchantments that would come out at a comfortable temperature. With experimentation, Brutus was able to give special properties to the element that the enchantment produced, and was able to make himself some like a gattling gun. It would have taken many years for someone to create the gattling gun even with legendary mage rank, but Brutus only took a few days. Using complicated enchanting in a circular formation, Brutus made it so 12 barrels would sequentially fire small rotating steel bullets in quick succession. The gattling gun was much more powerful than anything a mage could do in terms of projectiles per second, and the strength of each projectile was at least gold rank. Brutus left the city to test the gattling gun, and it destroyed everything in it's path, though it was not as powerful as the gem. By the time Brutus was 11, he was a famous inventor. His gattling guns were modified to only have one barrel and were being sold for thousands of gold. The legendary mage came to visit Brutus in his city. The sage mage was very powerful and some people had been using the guns to try and kill her to take the gem, but the gem detected their hostile intent and disintegrated them. She was impressed at the things Brutus had made for the sake of settling the dark continent and announced to him that she would start make preparations on the ocean boarder. Though the distance by sea was only a few weeks, the monsters of the dark continent far outranked those of the continent. A new town was formed on the edge of the continent to be a model for the dark continent. A super fortress city. 9 years later and after exploring the entire continent, Brutus came to the model city. Many ships were prepared for the passage to the dark continent and many adventurers were waiting too. The legendary mage was in a large building resting. They had gotten much older now, and would likely only live a few more years. If not for the gem fighting their battles for them, they would have died some time ago. Brutus and the legendary mage gathered everyone they could and set off to the dark continent. The ship was moved by using a device similar to the gattling gun but it shot water from one barrel in huge amounts. Six people were opperating the water cannons at the back of the ships. The sea monsters got larger as they approached the dark continent, but the gem was able to kill most of them still in the water. The dark continent had a ash colored ground and many monsters came to fight the ships. Brutus used the gattling gun and the legendary mage used the gem to kill all the monsters. Using enchanted barriers, the small town was defended for a few hundred feet. Though the town would have a population of about 60 right now, after a few more trips to the dark continent with more people, it would reach over 600. Food on the dark continent was hard to come by, but with additional barriers, large portions of the land was covered with fields, at least near the village. The legendary mage died a few years later. Brutus had a few children and passed the gem on to the strongest and died a few years later in combat within the dark continent. Mission complete. Winrar told Brutus in a few years the gem would be lost at sea but the single village on the dark continent would last much longer even without it. Eventually the dark continent would be conquered like any other land and the tools he created would be used by armies for thousands of years without replacements.
