Time to Choose

Inside the pouch Magna was holding were 9 red pills, and eating just 7 of them would already fill his mana reserve completely.

So when he looked at the other things Renna had pulled out of her robe, he started thinking.

'I can trigger one of Gaia's options first by taking 7 pills, then use the rest to refill my mana again so I can cast Glacial Calamity.'

As for how he would explain casting a spell to Renna once she saw it, that was something he could figure out later, after they killed the Witch and got themselves out of here.

He didn't waste time, since they were still in the danger zone, and swallowed 7 pills.

When he checked his mana reserve, he saw it had reached max capacity, and then some. It read exactly 101.2%, and the blue text had turned red.

'Does that mean going over is dangerous?' He wondered, realizing that must be what his true capacity actually was.
