Master Of None

The feeling of the light elemental was erratic. It didn't seem to have any control over itself and Walker tried his best to establish some. Normally light elemental mana was warm and calming. It would slowly illuminate an area unless forced together on to another form. Walker had seen this in blades along with Gil's arrows. Alice's healing was an example of some forms that it could take which didn't cause any damage and instead would help the injury. 

When he pushed in to the room he was using intense concentration to hold off the light elemental mana which was spontaneously condensing here and there in the room. This gave him the chance to look around at the runes that were partially covered by fallen books. They were almost all dim which stopped the light elemental mana from traveling through them. 

He followed one that seemed to connect to the runes downstairs. Fleur didn't seem affected by the mana at all. She was going through the room and following Walker as he searched. She was trying to absorb the mana to keep Walker in a safer position. He had made the right call keeping people out of the tower for the time being. If someone tried to enter without any skills to control mana and sense it then they would find themselves injured or worse. 

"Here it is!" There was what appeared to be a bottle of dried up potion on the ground. It had dripped and dried itself in to a rule absorbing mana and forcing it to bleed in to the air and mess with the concentration of light elemental mana. "I don't know what potion this was but at some point, it spilled and no one has been around to clean it. It must have been here for years." 

When he said this he realized that even if he removed this dried potion he would have to deal with the repercussions. The mana in the room would surge down in to the tower causing damage. Instead, he needed to figure out how to stop that from happening. "This is going to be tough. Fleur, I will try to hold back the mana when I…" 

Walker was confused when he saw that Fleur was totally ignoring him. She was floating in the middle of the room now and had started to mix the mana from the other rooms that she had taken. Since this was unusual, Walker stopped what he was doing and watch. As he did so Fleur continued on with her task. 

The manas started to mix together. She had been able to sense the concentrated manas and knew that she could use it to gain more strength and replenish all the natural mana that she had been lacking after the battle with Greed. It was also a step toward her becoming a higher tier natural spirit. 

Since Walker could feel the changes in the mana around, he directed the mana to spread out more evenly, and when it would randomly concentrate he pushed it toward Fleur. At just the right moment he was able to use some of the water to rehydrate the spilled potion and manipulate it in to the fallen bottle. He wasn't sure that it had been but cleaning it was much easier than expected. 

'The result was slow but when it returned he could feel the room slowly become balanced. He also noticed that there were a lot more runes visible around him. Even the air had some runes floating in it. The runes had been made differently for every single room while Walker investigated the rines coming back to life. 

He could tell that these runes were the same as the doors. They had been projected to protect people whole in the elemental floors for training. "This is spectacular! Fleur, you did great!"

 Fleur melted back in to the spirit mark and Walker felt that she was incredibly happy but needed to process the natural mana. Growing to a higher tier was a taxing process for an elemental spirit. 

"I need to go higher. I don't know what else there is up there." Walker began to push himself back up the stairs. He wanted to enter the upper floors and get to the top of the tower. While he did that he held the bottle of now rehydrated potion and used his all around appraisal skill on it. 

' expired rune eyes potion

The mana eyes position is a grand tier potion. It was once higher than any other tier of potion until it was left in poor conditions. This caused the mana eyes potion to degrade until it became poisonous. The mana eyes potion will normally grand the one that consumes it the ability to see mana in the air and better carve runes. Once at the grand tier the potion assists in writing runes in the air and also lasts for a full day. This potion was once made by a grand alchemist who broke past the limits of mastery to discover that there was more to alchemy.'

Just before Walker touched the steps to the next floor after the light elemental room he was stunned. He knew that there could be more [ast the high tier. But saying that there was more past mastery was too much. He knew that the systems guided people to the mastery skills for their systems and that it was a massive goal for any being. Yet, the grand tier skill would be much harder to achieve. 

"If there are grand skills and I can't learn mastery skills…can I learn a grand skill? This question hit him like a ton of bricks. However, the next thought hit him harder. Did the race that created this reach the grand tier of skills in runes and magic? Then they had to leave to try and reach higher than even that? There was just too much unknown.
