I know you’ve all been waiting for some revelations. About what happened in my rematch with Wendy. Mainly the stardust thing.
I suppose some of you may have already guessed, but the reason I could feel it was because of a new skill. Stardust Control to be specific. Yeah. I can now control stardust.
For those who need a reminder, stardust is a form of mana that has been compressed in a specific way, and it is needed to perform Celestial Magic, which is a type of high powered magic.
But back to stardust. As I said, I can somewhat control the stuff, but I can’t actually produce any yet. Compressing mana into stardust is difficult and I haven’t quite learned how to do it yet. But I’ll get there, just give me a bit more time.
And since I’m talking about my skills, I’ll just show you my status.
As you may have noticed, a few things have changed. First, because One of Every Race leveled up, I can now have two active Class Races.
Second, Stardust Control is for some reason a unique skill. I think it is just that rare. Sadly that does mean that I can’t level it up with Level Up!
Third, Soul Magic and Gravity Magic. Got the skills for them. Honestly speaking, Soul Magic was a long time coming. Gravity Magic on the other hand was something I didn’t expect to get quite yet. Sure I could use a sort of Gravity Magic by mixing Time and Space Magics, but I expected to need more time for the skill to show up.
And last, Dancing. Yeah. I have no idea why I never got that skill earlier. It just appeared at level 4 one day. I didn’t even do anything special. Sure I did some dance-like swimming with Cailie the previous day, but that shouldn’t have been enough for a level 4 skill.
I blame the System for that. They probably just didn’t give me the skill for some stupid reason.
Also, no. I’m not stuck at 299. I can level up Limit Break. I just haven’t yet as I just reached 299 with my last level up. Next time I use some on myself, I’ll level up Limit Break.
Training my Stardust Control was fun. Because it involved the Star Dragons. Stardust, Shooting Star and the Quasar variants.
All of them just make stardust in their bodies, and small amounts of it leak from them. That is why they have that shine to them.
So my training was just staying near them and attempting to control the stardust they emit. Then maybe try to use it to fuel spells.
Sure it doesn’t actually teach me how to make the stuff, but at least I’m learning to control it. And no, it isn’t the same as mana. … okay it kind of is, but comparing regular mana and stardust is like comparing gravel and sand. They aren’t the same. Actually, a better comparison would be sand and glass beads, but whatever.
In some time, I got my Stardust Control to the level where I could manipulate it decently. Well, as decently as you might expect from someone with a level 1 skill.
Still couldn’t use it for spells, but it is a learning process. I mean, kind of need to learn how to make it as well. Not like I can put stardust into Storage. I tried.
After that, since I mysteriously got the Dancing skill, I decided to do some more dance practice. I have dance practice with Alice from time to time, but we haven’t seriously practiced in a while. But maybe it is time to do some more serious dance practice again.
Besides, the footwork help Dancing gives in combat is actually quite nice. And if I recall correctly, there is also a skill called Combat Dance or something like that.
Besides, dancing with everyone is fun. … though admittedly, Wilma can’t dance. Neither can Cailie, but that is because she doesn’t have legs. She can do water dances just fine. Some might say she is great at them.
Janina can dance, but not the modern dances. She learned dancing like … well, I don’t actually know how old she is, but I know she is old. So a lot of the dances she knows are either dragon specific, which are basically synchronized flight, or are so old that humanoids no longer use them.
But all of them were something we could practice and they were a lot of fun. I think my favorite is the flight dances, as I just like flying. Swim Dancing is also fun, but sadly I can only do that with Cailie, while four of my girls can fly.
Maybe I should see if I can get the Aerial Swimming skill. Sure it isn’t that useful for me, but having more flight skills won’t be a bad thing. And then I could triple up on flight skills, making my flight even faster.
