Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, the "Four Cardinal Elements" which are used for most "Compound Magic". Alchemy is one of such Compounds Magics. By learning all four of these elements and at least reaching Tier 2 Rank 7 of Magic Circle, with a minimum of one thousand Elemental Runes of each four elements, it is possible to conjure basic Alchemy Spells and slowly master the craft from there over years of experience. Hehe, of course, with the power of the Alchemist Subclass, I can easily learn Alchemy Spells at twice the speed!

And above all, thanks to the 100 Spiritual Runes I got from reaching the Max Level of Spiritual Blessing, it is as if I had thousands of runes of every other element, so I am more than set to learn most Compound Magics. Meanwhile, Aquarina is just right there, she had been cultivating her Magic Circle diligently by her father's guide. He is amazing at Alchemy as well, apparently, although unlike my mother who can do a variety of things, he specialized into the creation of Secret Weapons and Poisons of all types, he's a professional Assassin after all. I think he can even make small golems to serve as both scouting and attacking from afar.

He used them a lot back then when he was weaker, but now he can just use his overpowered spirits or Shadow Magic to do most of the job more easily than having to spend days crafting specialized golem drones and other things. Though for me, that sounds awesome. Golems are independent magic artifacts that move on their own using special batteries, they're made through alchemy and can do a variety of things. Mother said that the flying ship that was coming here was also a type of golem.

"Now that you girls have prepared your Magic Circles with a thousand runes of fire, water, wind, and earth, you can practice alchemy. Of course, you also need talent to actually use it and remember the formulas, but both of you are very talented. It is said that women are usually more talented at alchemy for some reason. Maybe because we are not brutes like men always are." My mother said with a smile.

"Isn't my mom the brute though?" Aquarina wondered.

"Well yes perhaps your mother is the exception." Said my mother.

"What about Ninhursag?" I asked.

"Yeah… She's quite a manly woman too…" My mother. "But even those women are very motherly and feminine as well, I guess I was just saying, sorry if it seemed offensive, girls… It is just dumb stuff I was taught when I was little. Anyways, I'm quite glad both of you are compatible. I think Zack could even be comparable as well, and Mist and Celeste, but they don't seem interested. Mist is a bit too young for Alchemy yet, Zack seems to be focused on increasing his physical strength, the only thing he does all day is physical exercise, and Celeste is… sorting things out for now."

"Yeah, Celeste got pretty weak after what happened." I sighed. "Maybe she'll grow stronger over time eventually."

"She's still Tier 4 Magic Circle isn't she? And also Tier 3 Physique… She's stronger than us." Aquarina said while crossing her arms. "Don't worry about that idiot."

"Alright Aquarina, that's enough." My mother said, stopping Aquarina from talking too much. "Now that we are done talking, let's get to it."

The two desks in front of us had a series of items that were all broken. Broken knives, shattered armor, and even torn apart shoes. All of such items were actually ours, which were broken in the fight we had. It was a pity but it appears we can actually repair them with Alchemy.

"Magic Items are special; they can be repaired using Alchemy and other materials. And not only that, but you can even end up enchanting their power and effects further." My mother said. "I've brought here a series of materials to both repair and enhance you girls equipment.

"These are my broken throwing knives…" Aquarina said. She had a series of throwing knives made by her father imbued with paralyzing poison and magic power, which worked well with her water magic at controlling them from afar through "threads" of water. They were all broken in the last fight.

"Oh, this is my chain mail… It has dragon scales and even then it broke, huh?" I sighed. "And my boots that enhance my speed… I guess we really need to repair these, they're indispensable equipment. Also Zack's bracelet too!"

"Yep, so let's begin." My mother said. "Through the last classes I have taught you girls all he basics about Alchemy, right? Alchemy is a Compound Magic that uses Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind Elements. The first spell you should learn is also the pillar of Alchemy and where it all branches off into many other spells: [Synthesis]." Said my mother.

"Synthesis is the spell you use to combine materials, right?" Aquarina asked innocently.

"That's right dear." My mother said with a smile. "With Synthesis you can create new compounds, you can create new metals, and you can repair items by merging already existing materials into them. You see? You've already done Synthesis a couple of times, this is enough so you can now learn the next Spell [Repair], it is the most basic. A lot of magicians stop in here because with Synthesis and Repair they won't have many problems, but those that delve deeper into the craft will learn even stronger spells in the future."

"But for now." She said, pointing at the cauldron. "We'll do Repair. This is the magic circle you need to memorize." She said, quickly drawing it on a board.

The magic circle was quite complex. Compound Magic always had several smaller magic circles inside of them because they were a combination of many spells. It had the magic circle of fire, wind, water, and earth at each cardinal direction, with the center having the spell's name and several other runes connecting the elements together. It was a beautiful creation; I've begun to love magic circles as a whole. Their complexity was just fascinating to me.

"Now, let's begin."
