Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King



That night, Wolfe focused on learning the rest of the essentials of array formation. He needed the knowledge of how to link multiple spells together so that he could move on with his knowledge of utility spells, which would make his everyday life easier.

The principles were easier than he had expected. According to the Inheritance, the key to making Arrays that worked correctly was in the layering. The inscribed array should be the basic spells that were needed to achieve the effect, and then you would create an activation layer over the top with all the modifications to impose your will and intent.

That was why the witches couldn't make most Arrays work. They could activate all the spells individually, but Elemental Magic of that sort wasn't innate to them, so they couldn't activate the uninscribed upper layer.

Once he had the theory memorized, he moved on to practical applications. There was a simple stone chair in the room, which Wolfe made his first target. Without Earth Magic, he couldn't make it Custom form itself to the user. But he could make the cushions of Air Magic and add the gravity enchantment so that it could be easily moved across the room.

Air and fire magic combined also let it adjust temperatures for comfort, and his first attempt at a furniture charm was finished.

The disguise arrays that would make the plain chair look like a fancy throne or other objects were more complex, so he left them out this time, but if his first attempt worked, he planned to go all out on the bed.

Once Wolfe was sure that he had everything just right, he activated the spell and let the magic imprint the Inscriptions on the surface of the chair. For a moment, the chair glowed with a dim black light, and then a simple set of inscriptions appeared on the back, indicating that the spell was complete.

Next was the moment of truth. Wolfe reached out and moved the heavy chair with one finger, proving to himself that the Gravity Elemental spell was working properly, and then he took a seat and relaxed into the soft magical cushion above the seat.

It might not be quite as amazing as the ones in the Lumix house, but it was a very comfortable chair, and Wolfe was certain that the inscription would prove to be very popular for the beds here in the Den.

Of course, they wouldn't need the gravity spell, or perhaps they would need it applied the opposite way to prevent the bed from moving at all, but the cushion and temperature control abilities would be just as good for a mattress as they were for the chair.

Wolfe had a great idea for the beds. He could work on the disguise ability, which worked much like the defensive armour spells to create a solid surface of magic to hide the base structure underneath, and then create a variety of fancy beds the same way that he did the outfits that the witches made into amulets for the Moon Festival.

According to the inheritance, making it significantly different in dimensions from the base object would take a lot of mana, but the beds were already the right size. They just needed a facelift to make them a bit less rustic.

The easiest object to work with was the small table in his bedroom, so Wolfe began crafting the disguise spell to the best of his ability. His colour palette was somewhat limited since he didn't have access to all of the Elements, but he could make it look fairly simple and modern without much effort, or if he combined Air and Fire, he could make it appear to be made of solid Ruby.

That was a pretty interesting look, though it didn't really go with the ambiance of the carved stone walls in the room. He could still fix that, though. If he combined Air, Unholy and Fire magic, he could create a white and gray marble look with streaks of gold running through it.

That made the room look much more bright and grand than the rough carved rock. Matching tiles on the floor in a black and white checker pattern completed the look, and now his Ruby table with the golden legs looked right at home in the bedroom.

Wolfe didn't inscribe the spell yet in case he wanted to tweak his first attempt once the rest of the room was finished, so he just left it active with a dose of magic that would keep it running for a single day, and then he began on the bed.

An obsidian frame with golden fittings, thick golden silk sheets and the same enchantments as the chair seat gave it a glorious look fit for a King's bedroom, and if he turned off [Detect Hidden], it would even fool him.

[What in the world are you doing to our bedroom?] Stephanie suddenly asked as she took a delicate step inside on what she thought were polished stone floor tiles.

They were actually just a thin layer of magic, but the illusion was very convincing to a Witch, according to the helpful spell in the Lumix household.

"I am working on a new spell. It's one of the basic utility spells, according to the Inheritance. It's a disguise spell that changes the appearance of the objects in the room. For the bed, I actually added some other spells in order to add comfort and temperature control, but the rest of the room is just a solid illusion." Wolfe explained.

The Familiar Cat hopped up on the bed and curled up into a happy ball. [This is good. I like this. Did you do any other furniture with these spells?]

"I did the chair that I'm sitting on, and it will stay active as long as the area has enough mana. That shouldn't be an issue now that I've put the mana gathering inscription on the wall since it's still got lots of leeway in its maximum capacity, so the padding will stay active all the time."

[You know the rest of the witches are going to freak out when they see your room. Even if they never wanted to be treated like a princess, living in a home that looks like a palace has a certain appeal to it.] Stephanie joked before falling asleep in the middle of the bed with the temperature of the blankets turned down to provide a cool counterpart to the warm air.
