[Mana Sense] has gone up 2 levels, [Enha Magibsp;has gone up 3 levels, and I'm also at level 4 of [Internal Mana Manipution] after adjusting the circution in my wings and adapting them so they didn't hurt when I hid them. Apparently that happen. I also adjusted the mana in my tail, it doesn't seem to have ged much but the tail now feels a lot more... real now? I won't get bothered if the length of my tail shortens or lengthens based on my abilities. I made it work in a kind of closed-loop circuit that follows the length of my tail no matter the scale.
Theo told me that while most people shouldn't have much reason to adjust their mana pathways, mages and 'magical creatures' like me gain a lot of be from it as well. Man was able to pibsp;[Internal Mana Manipution] up too, though the skill seems a lot less intuitive to her than I would have expected. It may be a sequence of not having access to an aura like I do. Theo has told me that in this regard I'm kind of a natural which is a nice ge pared to how well all of my ic studies have been going.
I decided to read over the description of [Internal Mana Manipution].
[Internal Mana Manipution - Rare Skill]The Internal Mana Manipution skill governs the ability to adjust, maintain, trate, ae ones own internal mana. This doesn't affect the total amount of mana in the body, only how it circutes and flows through it. Higher ranks improve the ease and ability to manipute your internal mana, hold your mana in different patterns, and adapt to your pathways beied. It also improves your instinctual knowledge when maniputing your own mana.
The skill description is about what I predicted, only differing in expected ways pared to the [Light Manipution] skill I also have. It doesn't say ahat it's basically the equivalent for enha magic but it feels pretty obvious that it is once you have it. When casting enha magic I'm able to see the patterns that get overid on top of me and intermih my mana circution. This manipution skill lets me strehose es, spread them out, or dehe effeewhere in my body.
It also allowed me to figure out a bit more of what [A Touch of Good Lubsp;was doing and the answer is... not much. It's a very weak luha spell. The upside is that with [Inner Mana Manipution] I'm able to intensify that luck with some effort or trate the effect. Using my aura, I even spread the luck magic outside of my body a bit as well, letting me do things like flip s and have it nd on what I want more often. The most obvious application was to bi with my [ Flip] attack spell but that... had odd effects. Rather than just being a straight upgrade it seems the more reliable I was able to make the spell, the less damage it did. It seems the spell's uainty directly increases its damage, which seems like a dht weird way fic to work. I would uand if this was just a video game but in this world, the cause and effect retionship didn't seem present. The magic itself didn't show this effect, it just worked that way with no expnation mana circution-wise. Theo told me t it off as a sequence of luck magic but it just flew in the face of everything else I've learned about magic so far.
The other useful thing about [A Touch of Good Lubsp;was that it could affect others, the only problem is that I 't manipute the ability in others. That made the spell not all that helpful and frankly a waste of mana most of the time. I was told that there were ways to 'overload' a spell, by pumping in muana than a spell will normally allow for increased potency, but that wasn't a skill that Theo could help me learn. It differed from just using your Magic Forbsp;to increase the strength of a spell whibsp;[A Touch of Good Lubsp;didn't accept. I would have to approach a different mage for that to learn that skill. There would be es in the capital but the odds of me finding ohat both khe skill and would be willing to teach it to me with everything that's been going on was kind of low. Mages that went past the bounds of using the spells they learned from their css, spell books, or the military were surprisingly rare. Wild casting magic was already a rare field mostly prised of schors rather than adventurers or soldiers. It made some sense, both adventurers and soldiers teo value reliability over versatility except in some specific cases. bat-oriented wild mages like Man were quite a rare breed.
On that subject, Man and I were both able to learn a basic magic armor spell and I was able to learn how to iher magic types into ons. Right now I could only do it with water magic but I was w on seeing what kinds of shenanigans I could do with luck or lust infused ons. The magic armor skill I learned was actually through ranking up enha magic. I gained a spell called [Armor of Light] which thankfully operated like [Light Ward] and could be used to block physical and magical attacks, instead of being useless against anything but shadows. The downside was that the spell lit me up like a Christmas tree no matter what I did. It was armor of LIGHT, it o give off light to protect me. The ability was less obnoxious during the day but only barely, it doesn't say this in the description but the stronger I made the armor the brighter it was.
[Armor of Light - Light Magic Spell]Create an armor made from panes of light that block or deflect physical and magical damage. Strength of the armor is affected by Magic Ford Magitrol. Color, shape, and range are affected by Magitrol. Armor of Light is weak against shadow and dark-aligtacks.
However, the hing about this spell was that I could study this spell the same way I did for imbue and learn to wild cast altered versions of this spell using fire or water. The nature of Man's css, which she frustratingly refused to tell me the name of unless I ordered her to, allowed her to learn a 'colorless' version of the spell that she fuel with enviroal magic. She's overjoyed because she just became an incredible buffer, both for herself and for others. Her staff of manaflow allows her to cast the armor usih mana and there will be lots of situations where the enviroal mana will ter whatever we will be fighting. The only downside is that her version takes a little while to cast. She 't just snap one up on all of us at the same time. It also takes a det amount of mana so she may not be able to cast it on too many people at once depending on the may of the area. It should be amazing in dungeons though. When we weren't practig that stuff, Man was w with Raya to teach her the basiagid wild casting. It's slow going but Raya is making progress, especially with Theo to supplemeeag as well.
Man tio seem jealous of the natural aura ability succubi have. I haven't had either of the twins approach me about it yet despite the two of them having several long versations away from the others. Assuming that's what they're actually discussing, it's hard for me to tell exactly because they haven't been forthing with me on this topiderstandable since I'm kind of biased. I have already warned Man a few times that I won't transform Torien unless she actually wants it, ving her to gh with it because Man wants to won't be good enough for me. Torien has to want it too, or the twins will have to accept that both of them will not bee succubi.
The meetings betweewo were kind of spurred on because Theo has started teag all of the succubi, even the ohat don't really use magic like Sibyl and Cecilia, [Internal Mana Manipution] so that they bi with their natural aura to better utilize it. One of the biggest advantages of having an aura is that you make it harder fic to directly pee the aura, with [Internal Mana Manipution] you learn how to shape and alter your aura more easily sihe aura kind of bees aension of your internal mana circution. Fhters, this means one of their biggest weaknesses, magic, be mitigated using this natural resistance. Fes, it allows them to cast things through their aura as if it were part of their body. This is really useful for Bel in particur, it gives her a bit me on her healing abilities, not a ton, but enough to be useful. For Man, it would increase her... surface area? and allow her to reabsp;more of the mana in the enviro. I don't pletely uand but this is the way she expihe bes she would get.
Mimi hiriously didn't need any training at all and got the skill as soon as it was expio her. Apparently the way she uses mana in the first pce is a lot different from us. So once she was told how to manipute her own mana it became natural for her and learning how to use her aura was even easier. Mimics have very flexible proportions, obviously, so trolling mana outside of her body using her aura was just like being told that her body extends a little farther. For her, it's not weird to be able to ge the shape of her outsides and thus ging the shape of her aura doesn't seem any different to her.
Theo did suggest bringio train under a spatial mage though. Her natural affinity for the magic type as demonstrated by her use of her pocket dimension means that she wouldn't have as hard of a time as most people learning it. It would give her some access to things like gravity magic, portals, and teleportation, all of which sound scary powerful. Mimi told me that she already heavily is in her magic stats for reted reasons so being a mage would make sense. Her body density is also governed by her pocket dimension so improving her magic stats also increases her durability, meaning it would double as iing in a defeat. In the meantime I've started teag her ritual magid light magic, if she could learn [Light Scribing] she would likely be able to fuel a lot of magic depending on her affinities. I'm still excited to track down a more ih book on ritual magice we eventually reach the capital.
Sibyl, Cecilia, and Silva trained a lot together whenever we stopped and the first two weren't being taught magic stuff. The three of them had more physical focused builds and the former two kept it that way after their transformation. Sibyl told me she ied a bit into magice she was learning things from Theo though. Enha magic is a natural fit fhters if they could use it, even if it was only lear a basic level. She wasn't like me who wao split my focus between physical fighting and spell casting but since she had a magic aura anyway it made sense for her to i in magic a little bit. Magian was not a on css and she preferred to stick with what she was familiar with for the most part. Sibyl mainly uses a sword or hand-to-hand bat with lots of throws simir to something like Judo from my inal world. Her shorter stature has actually improved her skills with the martial art she uses and it's really impressive to watch.
Cecilia had a sort of berserker css that has a focus on animals from what she's told me. It simultaneously helped her with her job of raising and g for animals while also givirength in lih the animals she was most familiar with. Unsurprisingly, uunas are scary animals when they want to be, as I've experienced firsthand, so by extension, she is also a scary fighter. This made her an obvious choice as a traveling guard who also took care of the animals. She hadn't had this css when she first went traveling with Tarklin but her skills ended up blending that way. It seems there's a lot more to csses than 'this dude uses a swood' like I have seen so far. Her on of choice is her rge two-handed axe but she has been fighting hand to hand in their sparring matches.
Not much with Silva. She spends a lot of time pying cards or spending time with Torien. Because Torien and Man have been talking a lot in the evenings tely she's had even more dowhan before. She's spent a lot of the time sparring with the others, in addition to using a spear she also knows some kind of martial art as well. It's less fshy than Sibyl's but it seems pretty effective for her. I half expected her to do lots of kicks based on her big rabbit legs but it turns out that her martial art is more simir to something like boxing. She uses her powerful bursts of speed to get in close and do damage around people's guard. Silva is around the same level as the others but the other two don't hold a dle to her in teique. She hasn't lost a single spar, even two on one. Silva is kind of terrifying.
Every night had been filled with lots of sex in various pairings due to the excuse that we should be as satiated as possible once we reached the capital. I mostly kept to my girlfriends but occasionally shared a bed with Raya and Sibyl too. Those two seemed to make it their mission to sample all of us, the only ones who refused were Torien and Silva. The two of them eve a few nights with Theo much to his enthusiasm. The guy was kind of a horn dog and the m they assured me that he really was good in bed. As handsome as the guy is though, I wasn't ied in sleeping with him. I think my first impression of him was ive enough that I inteo keep our retionship professional. He was growing on me as a friend though.
At the end of the ninth day since we left Goldeh and the fortieth day since I've e to this world, Torlimal City, the capital of the Torlimal Kingdom, was on the horizon wheopped for the night.

Hello! The first time skip of the story! I went over how difficult traveling could be the st time, spent a whole book on it basically. This time not much happened so I wao just skip through it. At one point even more time was going to be skipped but once I wrote out part of the chapter I realized how much I still o tou. So things like Cecilia's indu and Lilith practig with her wings ended up beiup before the time skip. Time skips probably won't happen that often but in this case it didn't make se things out. Thanks as always for reading!
