When I opened my eyes, I found myself resting over my bed, inside of my room.
In front of me there was the floating Grimoire, its pages began to wildly turn around, as they showcased what I had earned from last fight.

"Wait, why did I got Bonus Skill Proficiency? Is this something new from Leveling Up?"
[By undergoing intense battles using a variety of your Skills and Magic, you gain Bonus Skill Proficiency. This has been part of the natural Abilities of this world since the beginning. However, thanks to the [Hard Worker] Skill at Level 5, you gain double that amount.]
The Grimoire answered my questions with words that emerged above the pages.
I am still not used to talk to this book, but I suppose it is rather competent at times like these.
Now that I got new Skills, I should check them…
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
A Title Skill only granted to those who have Mastered a part of their Spiritual Connection with their Spirits, growing closer to unify with them to the extent of awakening new powers. It Enhances Spirit-related Skills and Magic, and while using Spiritual Techniques, enhances the Spirit and the User's Stats by +15% with each Skill Level.
Spiritual Techniques Damage and Effects is enhanced by +20% with each Skill Level.
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
Only someone who has managed to completely merge different Elements of Magic together to create completely different Magic Spells can learn this Skill, which is often reserved to High Star Magician-related Talents. This Skill allows for the passive increase in Elemental Magic Fusion proficiency, increasing Damage Dealt, Control, and Effects by +30% with an additional +15% with each Skill Level.
Additionally, it lowers MP Cost from Fusion Magic by -20%.
Combined Spells can also be stored in the free slots for [Instant Cast] without the requirement for Magic Circle Creation. Once Spells are stored in the slots, they cannot be removed. However, Spells in the Slots for [Instant Cast] receive an enhancement to their damage dealt and other special effects by +10% with each Skill Level.
Available Spell Slots for [Instant Cast]:
Level 1: [Empty] [Empty]
Huh… Spirit Master seems to be a Title many have; it is how people that can work with Spirits and properly fight with them receive after they mature and become strong enough to be recognized. But it seems it is an actual Title Skill that can be acquired. It is a good enhancement.
Lastly, Magic Fusion is indeed a big surprise. It seems this incredible Skill can only be acquired by high star Magician-type Talents, yet I have acquired it because I constantly use fusion magic with ease thanks to all the accumulated knowledge I possess.
My comprehension of the Elemental Laws is at 100% as well, which makes it easy for me to conjure magic and merge elements like nothing. Of course, I am still restricted by my primary magic elements, as other elements won't be as effective. This is why this Skill is so important, it'll allow me to merge my main elemental affinities with the abilities of other elements which affinities are lower.
Additionally, that [Instant Cast] Ability seems incredible convenient. With that, I can store two new Spells with each Skill Level, which I can Instantly Cast without Magic Circles! I have to think carefully what I want to be stored there. Such spells will grow stronger over time too…
