Felis didn't even want to lift his eyes.
After being frozen, he indeed could run wildly within the mental sea, following the seemingly calm but turbulent waves behind his soul, which proved not as dangerous as he initially thought.
Although fast, they were not nearly perilous enough to put him in constant danger.
But being wholeheartedly dedicated, completely avoiding wild thoughts, and remaining unwavering even as the waves threatened to crash right before him, was incredibly difficult.
Felis tried many methods but couldn't manage it.
He didn't even know why... Maybe because initially, the reason he could ignore his pain and enter a meditative state was the chilly feeling of the basement?
Anyway, his subconscious chose ice, and he swiftly decomposed the 0-level spell frost ray into runes, converting it to Ice Ring form.
When the Ice Ring wasn't enough, he even had a flash of brilliance in learning how to stack layers upon layers of Ice Rings.
