â§ | âEr, Iâm probably not the one you should ask about that, but I do know that itâs definitely cast differently than using a book.â He responds, scratching his cheek a little bit. Magic wasnât really Almâs forte, especially when heâs usually swinging with a sword, though heâs also good with a bow and arrow himself. Alm listens intently as Robin explains about how spells work in her realm, and he nods, doing his best to process how itâs meant to be done. âEnergy levels, huh? Well, I can say for sure that Iâm completely incapable of using magic,â He says. âAs for thatâŠI remember Kliff saying that it takes total concentration to use it, and it also requires your own energy to cast a spell, regardless if itâs for combat or healing.â Although Alm was told this, that doesnât mean heâd be good at it. âI can understand having to focus completely, but Iâm more of a sword swinging kind of guy, you know?â
    Figure he may have an idea, but ultimately not, huh? Simply have to locate someone who knew then; talk to them about it! âOh, I do apologize. I just got curious as I have never heard of any other means to cast spells than with tomes. It is a fascinating ideal.â A wave of a hand back and forth to disregard. She already knew not everyone held the ability to control and master spell casting. Him being one such person. No harm. A nod of her head as hand lowers. âIndeed. Without the ability to concentrate and flow energy levels from yourself into the spell, it could be catastrophic on your body, or someone else. The tomes are similar to a median, between your body and the words to the spell. It has a beauty to it as well as harmful. Energy cannot manifest itself magically in the air, even for spells being magic. It comes from somewhere, and thatâs a part of your soul. Repeating the words of each spell collects an emotion that pushes out the potential energy within into kinetic energy through their air and magnetic fields, depending on the spell. So, I am very curious of what the median is in your realm.â A laugh offered to him by his words. âOh, I understand that completely, trust me. I know someone else whoâs a sword swinger, very similar to you actually. Spells are not for everyone.â
â§ | âHaha, I wouldnât be surprised.â Alm laughs at Robinâs response, not from him admitting that he canât cast magic, but the fact that thereâs another person who prefers to swing a blade, like himself. âIf you asked me to create a fire, I wouldnât use magic, but some flint and a torch instead.â Then again, there were a lot of people who also wielded swords too, everyone summoned in Askr was different, and they all hailed from various worlds. Not to say that thereâs anything wrong with lots of people that prefer swords, it just makes him part of that group. However, it wasnât just limited to people that wielded swords, let alone lances and other blades. There are others like Robin, so and mages that harness magic in their own way, and their own power too. âI canât tell you how surprised Kliff was when he was handed one of those tomes,â He says, pointing to the spellbook that Robin was holding in her hands. âI guess when youâve been using yourself as a source of power, itâd be surprising to hear that you can use books to cast magic too.â
