Master Of None

Walker and the elder placed a hand each on each others’ head. Walker knew that he wanted to swap the knowledge on his skills that revolved around speaking with all the elemental spirits. This was much harder to grasp but even if the elder learned a little it would be something to go on as he worked closely during the spirit forging process. 

’User wishes to swap the knowledge on spirit speaking with the elder of the dwarven race Elnum. The recipient is selecting knowledge to send to the user.’

Walker didn’t realize that the knowledge swap skill would require the elder to send knowledge too but it was clear that the exchange was acceptable. 

’The elder; Elnum, has selected the knowledge on true spirit forging to be swapped. The skill related to the educationist title shall activate. Both users will expend mana to accept and transfer the knowledge.’

Walker felt a massive pain in his head. He couldn’t remember feeling such a massive headache even when he had been sick as a little child. The information was burning itself within his mind. But there was also something strange happening. Walker could feel that his mental archive skill was recoding all the information on spirit forging. 

As soon as the pain faded there was another system notification, 

’The knowledge swapped will dissipate in seven days. The user will be unable to use this skill again for thirty days.’ 

Walker knew full well what this all meant. However, his mental archive was the wild card in all this. He had memorized all the information on true spirit forging. All he needed to do was think about it.

’The user has fully memorized the techniques and feelings associated with true spirit forging. The skills true spirit forging, true spirit crafting, and true spirit rune carving have fused together in to the high tier skill true spirit creations. 

True spirit creations- passive

This skill requires an elemental spirit at high tier or above to be used. The user is able to feel the flow of mana from an elemental spirit as they craft. The user can channel this mana and forge, craft, or engrave runes that create a bond between the crafted item and the elemental spirit. The user is able to apply this knowledge to any forging, crafting, and engraving skills they possess. The user can expend their mana to enhance the effects of the true spirit creations ability and cause additional skills to be created within the crafted items.’

Walker had become able to spirit forge just like that. He felt like he had just cheated the elder out of valuable information. It didn’t make sense how he could so easily learn all of this. But at the same time, he was the only person that could have learned it in this way. It was more than worth waiting thirty days to use the skill again. 

”Your head hurt too eh? It was worth it. I can feel the knowledge there. I need to figure out to talk to my new forging partner here. It looks like this earth spirit will want its’ own hammer sometime soon.” The elder gave a warm smile to the earth elemental spirit which was currently hugging the elders’ forging hammer. 

”My head hurt too. But now I can aim for the path of spirit forging. I hope that I can use it wisely in the future.” Walker wasn’t going to tell the elder that he had just received a skill. He had already shocked him with the portable forge skill and this might be too much. Walker could barely contain himself about this. 

”Alright. While you two acted weird and shared some whatever knowledge this and that, I got these all set up. Midnight is awake and so is Onyx. I promised them that we would get some food with everyone and relax for a little while before we planned the journey back.” Remey had already realized that they were coming to the end of their time at the dwarf city for now. They were sure to return at another time but they had family waiting for them back home. 

”Yes yes, get on with it. I will make the kings send you off at the surface tomorrow. Take your time and enjoy some of the roasted cave eels that the breeders cultivate. They are a specialty while you are here. I will start to awaken more spirits on my own and get to know my friend here.” The elder could only see the bright new path ahead of him. He wanted to dive in to it head on. 

”I really can’t thank you enough. I learned a great deal from you and I can’t wait to see you at the new Genesis city. Please be well in the meantime.” Walker used his most polite tone and received a firm handshake from the elder. The two were no longer just a visiting hero and forge master. They were friends on a path no others had traveled. 

Midnight and Onyx followed Remey and Walker out of the elders’ forge and towards the resting area that they had been shown previously. ”I saw your face you know. What skill did you get from the elder?” Remey was too slick to have missed the obvious look of amazement and happiness Walker got when he learned a skill. 

”It’s called True spirit creations. It is a combination of forging, crafting, and rune engraving with spirits. It is a passive skill so it works with my other skills. Basically, I can apply it to leather shaping and some forging. But I don’t have any rune carving skills yet so I won’t try it out. Not that I have a spirit to make a dwelling item for..” Walker felt that he would one day use it but he could not rush it just yet. He needed more knowledge to pair with it.
