Finally Getting His Hands on a Spellbook

Magna wanted to demonstrate how he could cast spells by casting Water Sapphire, but when he raised his hand, he briefly hesitated.

The last time he had cast Glacial Calamity, the spell had gone out of control, burning through 11% of his mana because he couldn't cancel it.

Looking at the expectant as well as suspicious eyes around him, he decided to try it anyway.

He had to experiment with his spellcasting to get better at it, after all.

He chanted neither the words for Water Sapphire nor any honorific names, only whistling as he manipulated the mana inside him.

Thin notes of whistling, first low and then high, echoed in everyone's ears as Magna's mana moved within him in time with the sound. Water began to form above his palm, starting with a few drops before more gathered, quickly growing into a large ball of water.
