Enchanting (I)

Until his sixth birthday Hermann regularly went to the clearing and continued his training. Due to his extensive sword training he developed the Skill Sword Arts that gave him +5 STR, +5 DEF, +5 STA and +10 VIT as well as trained his other abilities to a higher level.

Shortly before he was supposed to start attending school he realized that if he wanted to leave this world at the soonest possible he had to hasten his plans. To kill All for One in the most efficient way he looked for similar scenarios in his memories about video games.

There he found an answer to his questions. In video games if one did not have the necessary skills or ones status was to weak it always came down to two additional support options.

Potions or enchanted Items.

And as Hermann was now in a fantasy world it could not hurt to give the professions of an alchemist or enchanter a try.

But before he began his endeavor he asked his system:

H: [System, can I create enchantments in this world without prior knowledge?]

<Affirmative. Enchantments can indeed be created in this world.>

After getting a positive reply he started with his experiments. First he tried a few enchantments in Nordic Runes. For this test he started with simple things first. As his first test he created a wooden plate, covered one of his fingers in sharp energy and engraved a rune attributed to fire onto the plate.

< (this is as close as it gets. It means Kaunaz)

Then he sat away from plate and waited....

As he waited it occurred to him that the runes probably had no source of energy so he edged closer and grasped the plate from below. Then he slowly inserted energy through the wood into the runes.

After a short amount of time the runes started to glow and a small flame began to burn on top of the wooden plate. Excitedly Hermann observed the newly enchanted object more closely.

Although it seemed as though the wood was burning if one looked more closely one could see that the flame was burning a few millimeters above the rune. Once Hermann stopped the supply with energy the glow of the rune subsided and Hermann touched the surface close to the enchantment he felt no warmth although he himself had felt the heat of the flame.

After he looked at his system display and noticed that he had acquired the Skill Enchanting that allowed him to apply magic and magical effects to items he returned to his experiments about the world of enchanting.
