My heart hammered as the dark circle took shape around it.
The mana tightened, coiling like a living thing, then snapped into place.
The leftover erratic mana that couldn't be pulled back into the circuits blew out of me in jagged sparks.
Black motes rained down on the ground and trees like tiny thunderbolts. They had no real force, just left a string of small craters wherever they hit.
I drew a slow breath and opened my eyes. First circle, done. Officially a first-circle mage.
[Congrats. Now you can allot the stat points you got from capturing Drane, the 4-star quest, to MP.]
I stretched, joints popping. 'Did I just get some stat points or a 4-star quest item?'
Surely a four-star quest gave something useful. I hope games from my previous world were not lying to me about that at least.
[Of course. You get "260 + 680" stat points and a D-tier item.]
