Unusual world 17 Crystal ball

"Jeez, how could me ask a single question attract more attention than all those buildings getting burnt down? I think someone is still inside that one isn't anyone going to help her?"

Turning his head to look at the burning building where he could still hear the screams of a woman crying out for help before looking back at the crowd of people. More specifically, the lanky man he talked to earlier.

"Why did you say I have a death wish?" asking in a calm manner.

lanky man was taken back but how oblivious he wants to his own actions "You just ran up to an official mage out of the blue and started questioning him yet you still asked that. A magus is able to kill a normal human and get away scot-free most of the time there is not even a trial. There is also the chance that the adept could decide to drag the entire crowd into your transgressions.

The rest of the crowd started joining in throwing some slander in while they were yelling at the old man. Desmond saw this knew what they were feeling but didn't care he had something more important things on his mind, magic.

"I am quite sorry I never meant to bring any of you any harm it was just that I had never been so close to an Adept before. I have no idea when I'll get the chance again so I had to take this one". What he said was honest but, didn't care if any of them accepted his apology.

There were people in the crowd who were still cursing at him but, he just lightly put his hand on his chest bowed a few degrees and left.

He couldn't hear the screams of that woman anymore but, he just kept walking towards the direction that nice man pointed towards putting the thoughts of that women's screams behind him.

I got lost a little on the way there the park was not just up the road he had to ask a couple that was passing by where to find it. It took me 30 minutes to reach the park. It looked like your typical park grass, trees, benches, a statue of the supreme magi were your suppose to bow your head submitting to their greatness. After finding the park now I was stuck waiting for a group of brats to stop playing with the dumb thing.

They weren't even interested in looking at their magical talents they were just messing around. Its a major problem in every generation people are born with something amazing around them yet disregard it without a second though its blasphemy.

If their parents weren't so close by I would have already chucked them like a football to the other edge of the park. It took them 10 minutes to leave before getting scared away by my old man glare.

"Finally, my love, my life, my precious" the second those kids lift he rushed to the crystal ball. It was the size of a bowling ball a bit dirty since it was for public use in a public park. There was a plaque next to the crystal ball it had a lot of texts on it explaining how to use and what was shown in the crystal ball meant.

The plaque stated to operate the crystal ball simply put your hand on it. "wow no having to concentrate or in with magic energy these Magi are really trying to keep it simple".

Following as instructed I placed my hand on the ball. As I did so the ball lit up showing 20 lines inside the ball the plaque stated that's those lines show your level of magic talent. you need to reach the 10th Line in order to have the talent to become a mage. Everything below that even if your magical talent has reached the 9th line means that it is almost impossible for you to become a Magi. Most likely the highest you will achieve in your whole life is Apprentice Magi.

So, all I have to do is reach the 10th line It sounds easy enough. As I look into the ball I see a white light in the center showing my affinity for magic. "Yes, this is so cool let me check white means I have an affinity with nothing".

Desmond became shocked by this since the other colors were all aligned with something. Red meant fire, Blue meant water, cyan meant ice, Black meant dark, Green meant plant, and there were a whole bunch others as well. Most people had a mixed affinity for things it was rare to have only one affinity let alone none.

"That stupid old man why doesn't this body have an affinity to anything? Does this mean I can't practice Magic? He got a bit worried then his gaze landed in another line of text. Stating having no Affinity is neither good nor bad it meant you could absorb any elemental particle in the air without suffering backlash but, you will never be as strong as someone who has an affinity for the said element or absorbs it as quickly or efficiently.

"Think the Lord I can sill practice Magic" as he was worried about his chances if practice magic the small white light finally moved. It expanded passing the first line and second before stopping at the third.

You have got to be kidding me only up to the third line does this mean I will never get to be like that guy who blew up that building? "No, wait something else is happening there are bubbles". Looking over to the plaque again he realizes the bubbles are very bad.

You got to be kidding me why must there be bubbles? This meant that my spirit was damaged but when could my spirit have possibly been ... oh right. I dove into that old man's spirit and exploded didn't I but, I feel completely fine.

A strong spirit is very important for someone to cast magic it helps control the spells and attract elemental particles toward you. If someone tried to cast a spell while their spirit is damaged they have a large chance to blow themselves up. They even wrote the warning in big bold text for the blind and the stupid.

Could that have been the problem that magi said had? To be able to look at someone and know that they have a problem with their soul instantly its just so cool.

"Well, that's disappointing but, how could my soul be injured without me knowing?" Desmond took his handoff the crystal ball dove into his body focusing fully on his soul, changing what he saw into complete darkness. He was inside his body checking his spirit for any abnormalities.

"So that's the problem" his soul was the size of a fist again since he did not need to use his soul threads anymore to keep his body stitched but, he saw small cracks on his spirit so small they could easily have gone unnoticed.

That not good how am I gonna repair my soul? If I don't fix this I'll never be able to perform magic ... Yes, that's right I can just eat another soul. I can't take humans that will cause many problems, do they have something small I can kill like a chicken? There has got to be some less threatening animals out there.

...

As Desmond left the park in dissatisfaction he headed towards the closest bookstore he could find it was he got lucky and the store was fairly close to the park. There were a lot of stores close to the park it appeared to him areas like this are considered good real estate. The brick buildings were getting taller and nicer in this area.

Before the tallest building he had been only two stories tall here, it's about 3 or 4. He could see some really tall ones in the distance about 10 stories or more but he was too far for him to walk over there just to look at a few buildings plus he didn't care, his world had the same thing by the dozen. The insane wall they built was more interesting to him than that.

...

Making my way toward the store I saw a sign that read Hunter's Bizarre it was a peculiar name for a book store. The store had big glass pane windows stacked with books in front of it with what looked like a logo of werewolf grasping the moon it was an interesting design choice.
