Master Of None

"Of course these triple elemental mana crystals are harder to make and cost a little more. But I assure you, my products are high tier." Bree nodded at every word in the sentence trying to bring emphasis to her skills in the deal. 

Walker could only imagine that this was going to cost a massive fortune. He was prepared to offer all the physical gold he had left, and if necessary make a request to have some made for his return at a later date. "If possible we would like to purchase them, but I am also interested in ones of other elements." He decided it was best to browse everything first then move on to the price.

"Of course, let's not speak on price just yet. I have some fresh high tier crystals with wind and water elements along with some of fire and light elements. Then over here we have the other elements. Unfortunately, the light and dark elemental crystals have sold out due to an experiment that the light and dark mages are doing tomorrow." 

"That would be my doing, I will ask them for one or two when I see them. Sorry." Walker felt bad to be the reason Bree was out of stock in her shop. 

"No no, this is great. I was holding on to them for a long time. I enjoy mixing the conflicting elements. The spirits need the challenge as well. They can achieve great things when fighting their very nature." Walker and Su thought this strange before he recalled all the times he had done exactly the same thing with fire and now with two opposing spells.

"I hope I am not over stepping here. But would you consider showing us the way you make such crystals? I believe the mages tomorrow would benefit greatly from the knowledge." Walker had the idea that seeing them come together in to a crystal could unlock some of the missing pieces in their experiments. 

"Me? Of all people, the mages in training would learn from me? I could, but it would be very out of place." 

"Leader just wants you to demonstrate. I know he made an interesting fusion skill today and the other mages will most likely try their own ways to combine the elements. You already understand how the balance and could show them that." Su jumped in to help Walker gain a person with insight to his cause.

"Well, if it is to help out and advance magic understanding I can come. I am not sure they will learn much." She thought that what she did was so basic, but she did not realize that she was able to fuse elements that other struggle with.

"Perfect, I look forward to you joining us. I will make sure Alma knows and that we have everything ready to learn about it. I am actually very curious about how you make crystals and how you balance the elements in your body."

"Balancing the elements is easier than you would think. I just have to help each grow at the same time. The best part is this will happen in the natural life cycles of the world. If I let them absorb elemental mana through the day they will absorb the elemental mana of their own kind at the same rate. But that s because I am careful. Each spirit will grow the same amount every day, it is slow but very rewarding." 

"So they need the natural mana as well. Spirits seem to need more natural mana than any we provide. I feel like having that a long lifespan could still feel too short of a time to understand spirits." Walker was having a very hard time filling in factual information on the spirits.

"Yes, they thrive with natural mana and dislike other mana from living creatures. That is why spirit mages have the spirit body passive skill. We become partially a spirit so they can bond with us. This means we also absorb natural mana to survive. But we still get to eat so don't worry about me missing out." Bree laughed at her own joke while smelling the air. 

"Oh, by the way, do you need any of these earth and water duel elemental mana crystals? I would like to sell them soon so I can make my next batch." 

"Yes please. I would also like to ask if you had any crystal shards for making mana storage gems." Walker was thinking of stocking up just to have the shards for the mana storage gem. 

"Why buy the shards? You can just purchase the actual mana storage gems. I have a decent amount just laying around. I could even sell you some elementless crystals if you would like to just have those made directly in to mana storage gems of a higher quality." Bree was again speaking a different language to the two of them.

"I didn't expect you to have the mana storage gems here, I, of course, am interested, but what are the elementless crystals used for other than you creating elemental mana crystals?" Walker was very curious what the crystals without an element were, mostly because he thought the crystal would shatter without the elemental mana inside,

"I have them for my creation. I remove the earth element from a huge amount of crystals. They don't break if that is what you are worried about. They are stable because of the skills I have used on them. But they need to be changed within a few months of me doing so. Some people bring them to low traveled areas to absorb the mana around and get unique crystals."

Walker thought that this was a great idea. Having multiple unused elementless crystals would be something nice to gather mana on their travels. He could try to make a very large unique crystal. "It only takes about twenty years to fill. It is very efficient." With that Walker and Su were crushed.
