Chapter 44: Chapter XVII: Further progress
Things returned to a pleasant monotony after Reyvin started building his home, every now and then he would have to visit the site to modify his spider workers or change some broken parts. The inn would be finished in a couple of months with the manor coming after that.
Some of the guardsmen he fought beside even came to him with enchantment orders, using their newfound wealth to get what would inevitably become powerful family heirlooms.
He started visiting classes for other schools of magic, much to the chagrin of his colleagues. He couldn't make as much progress with them as he still focused on his main schools but some new spells were added to his repertoire.
From the school of illusion, he learned how to cause fear and modified it to work by locking eyes with people, he also learned how to muffle the sound of his steps, making him more than a mere novice illusionist.
[Illusion-apprentice: Calm, Enrage, Muffle, Fear(terrifying gaze)]
The Illusion master, Drevis Neloren kept being prickly with him the entire time he was there, but after finding out he was a rather devoted follower of Azura he explained to the Dunmer teacher that while he may share the name of the one who went against her, he is by no means an enemy of the lady of dawn and dusk. After that conversation, Drevis at least kept any comments to himself, even if he did still get annoyed by Reyvin's mere presence.
During restoration class he managed to, using his experience in destruction learn how to cast a sun-beam and sun bolt spells. Unfortunately, these would not be effective against living targets for the most part but would in turn absolutely devastate any lesser undead.
He also managed to, with the help of Scorch, further enhance his fast healing making it more potent, allowing it to be actually usable in a combat situation. Remembering the Falmer cave he also made a point to learn the detoxify spell just in case. Finally, he learned the rejuvenate spell which once cast constantly recharges one's stamina for a period of time.
This was enough to push him to the adept level of Restoration.
[Restoration-adept: High-heal(quickened), Sun-beam, Sun bolt, Rejuvenate, Detoxify, Steadfast ward]
(Flashback, Reyvin's pov)
Having finally finished cycling Magicka with Scorch added in the process, which was a surprisingly pleasant experience due to my glorious hawk boy's positively charged magic, I left to go to the library for some light reading when I met Marwyn who also finished his daily training.
We got into a chat about the cave expedition when he asked about what fighting mages in a death battle really felt like. I will admit my retelling got a bit out of hand with me almost reciting the whole thing. After I finally got to the part where we found the Falmer 'king' I said dramatically "And lying there beside the lord of the Falmer was a creature, it was even worse than a Falmer! It was, and may Azura forgive me for uttering the word, an Altmer!"
Marwyn broke out in laughter and I suddenly felt a premonition of danger.
*Cough*
I slowly turn around and am faced with Faralda giving me her 'warmest' smile.
"Fuck" I sum up the situation perfectly and Marwyn starts laughing even harder.
(General pov)
And that is how Reyvin earned himself some 'generous' extra training time with the Master of
Destruction.
