"Just make sure you come check out the archery technique I am making later." Gil was sure that Walker would be very focused on playing with mana or just generally trying to find more about himself out now that he has adapted to other mana better. So, Gil hadn't chatted too long when they had managed to get to the elven archery training area near where Alma had one of her offices.

There was also the fact that Walker could also know that Alma was coming to greet Gil and knew very well that there would be a few select words when Gil held steady to waiting a week to resume his duties. Regardless, the two knew one another well enough to expect that they would share everything new that they found with one another. Gil was Walker's best friend and brother at this point, but they were also a little bit of rivals.

It was why Walker never worried about learning archery or even focused on the basic skills of archery. He trusted that Gil would cover him in that skill set no matter what. There was the same when it came to magic with Walker too, Gil knew very well that Walker had a spark in his heart for everything magical and how to bring mana and physical skill in to a balance. Therefore, Gil never delved deeper in to the meaning of his arcane archer magic and instead looked toward the arrows and technique he could use.

The two were sharing their paths and making sure that they would not step over one another. Yes, Walker could be called stronger than Gil, but strength was not the goal. It was the camaraderie and the strength in family that they cared about more. It was worth more than anything to them.

Otherwise, Walker found himself left alone and able to venture out to where he needed to be. Specifically, he had an idea that he would be able to focus on meditation for the longest week he could have alone for a while now. This being the case led him to be able to consider what his personal goals would be from here on out.

He had a bit to learn about what had occurred within Genesis while he was gone. He could check on the project of building the second Genesis city on the Sigil continent. Or he could look at the new models of flying ships that would be planning voyages to other kingdoms to begin small trade attempts. While still testing, it was a major endeavor.

Otherwise, there were more emissaries being trained to one day venture in to the elemental planes. The goal to meet more races and grow trade routes while mapping solid areas within the elemental planes and the world is just a small part of the grand endeavor. Many others were trying to map the world and the many mysterious places that had shown up with the world's expansion. Even more had made it their goal to explore the dungeons now becoming commonplace.

The dungeons alone were a valuable opportunity that led to new classes and an entirely new section in the archives to be filled with new knowledge. Each dungeon allowing for new challenges, resources, and even generally new ways to view the entire world as a whole.

Walker, though, was considering his multi dimensional storage skill.

Yes, he wanted to make one that could carry entire elemental planes or be able to carry an entire race or village if he needed to. That alone would be invaluable. The real challenge would be making that possible.

Just saying he wanted a space where a living breathing being could rest in was a challenge. Dormant beings or eggs were one thing. The ink lizard race eggs had been within his dark elemental storage and safely kept there because the time mana naturally within that Walker could not control did not affect them. They were dormant and they did not hatch or get forced to suffer in any way.

When Walker had seen Mordant for the briefest of moments to explain things, he had not been surprised that the true dark sage had made a stop near a bridge to the elemental planes and spoke with Mordant. The two had a good relationship since they had a bond between them. Meaning that the world dark spirit and the true dark sage had spoken as well.

As this was the case Morndat already prepared a place and was planning to have various draconic mages who had worked for their position under his leadership protect the ink lizards as they hatched and awakened their innate racial bloodline memories.

Walker did wonder though, if he could see these threads of time mana and grasp a single sliver of them, could he have altered his spatial storage skills to be able to allow for something to grow within?

Just being able to allow an egg of a monster to hatch within a perfectly safe space would be invaluable. Let alone making a portable greenhouse within a safe space that he could manipulate the flow of mana within perfectly too.

A few of the master herbalists had begun to fathom that a farmer, herbalist, or other similar class like alchemist might be able to have such a special storage space. One even said there was a small fantasy called the herbalist's garden. It told about a master herbalist who had accidentally fallen in a hole in space. Fantastical but in this world maybe possible.

That story led to the master herbalist having an entire garden spatial storage that allowed them to grow herbs wherever they went while wandering the world. The story was made up but the potential was there.

Walker had already proven that there was a huge chance for people being able to gain a small spatial affinity that at least created a small spatial storage for them if they were exposed to enough space mana. The rest of the party had some proof of this. The skill that allowed Su to hide away multiple sets of armor and change them according to her will was just one such skill. Gil had somewhat done so as well with his quiver. However he had crafted that according to quotes, but it was still a spatial item that stored thousands of arrows at this point.

Meaning that there was a very high chance that others within the party exposed to all the space mana Walker used and had been using would also begin to gain some sort of skill. Onyx himself already hid his body within the shadows, meaning it had some essence of spatial magic within it already too.

This just presented the idea that after being within that unique outer elemental planes sphere, that the party would be more greatly affected by the space mana there and potentially awaken some unique skills. He knew very well that it would be possible for others.

It seemed that space mana was going to be a major focus as a foundation for building other skills.

If Walker used the portable forge skill and somehow incorporated time in to it, he might be able to forge while using mana as his hands. It would mean he forged just by meditating and focusing on the actions within a spatial storage unique to just forging. If he brought other mana sin he could influence the results.

The idea was sparking so much potential that he was sure he could do other things as well. But if he wanted to build a spatial storage new to him and one that might carry herbs like a garden or greenhouse, he also needed to bring in the life and death mana. Something that would make everything a little tougher since he could not easily manipulate life and death mana.

He did have those manas stored in higher purity within two unique spatial storages. He had made sure that he did not add any other mana to those. Leaving them pure and untouched. His goal to study them being the core and also the reason why he could use them later too. They were purer forms of the manas he had seen before allowing for a more unique flow of his own manipulation in the future.

Yet, he had also ended up with some undead mana stored away. That was what had occurred without him relaxing and siphoning the life and death manas here and there. This fact allowed him to understand how he could find a place where the undead mana naturally fit in to the puzzle. Or at least, it was going to allow him more insight on something he had faced as an enemy multiple times now.

Sometimes, understanding what was feared was more valuable than erasing it.
