'Huh... looks my health still isn't full, I guess even the healing isn't that quick. My stamina also hasn't fully recovered as well but I did sleep like shit I suppose'

Waking up the right at the start of the next morning, I've made my way into the woods since it seems like a good place to buy and test out some new abilities. Should probably increase my stats as well, those arrows in particular did knock me down to about half HP, I suppose.

Right now, as the sun rises, the town is dead quiet due to the celebrations last night. It appears that many have slept in because of celebrating too heavy, even the dragon Mute is out cold sleeping in the middle of the town square right now. Me and Petra left after the meal so most of what went down, we got to avoid. I kinda had to as well, our cutesy stuff is best left hidden despite the town now trying to encourage it... although nothing additional happened last night other than sleeping. I'm aching way too much for a bit of fun time right now

Even the restless Petra is still sleeping and so I didn't dare wake her. My reason for getting up this early other than just wanting to sort my stats out is also down to my hip and wing, I'm still in a little bit of pain so sleep wasn't great. Another reason is that we'll need to decide what to do next in retaliation towards the monastery and this seems the perfect time before important discussions need to be made.

'Aesa, split twenty thousand in half and put it into stamina and health please'

I'm neglecting magicka this time around because if that last fight was anything to go off, it would've been useless to increase it. Eh... maybe not useless but it definitely seemed like abilities are better to rely on even if you exclude the daily cooldown. Also, I've been neglecting stamina for a while and sleeping like shit has given me the encouragement to invest in it.

[<Confirmed, invested points have been doubled and this is what -Ikarus's- stats now look like>]

'Thanks... no point delaying the inevitable then, Aesa?'

[<Does -Ikarus- wish to confirm -sacrificial lamb- purchase?>]

'Yup'

[<Confirmed... -Ikarus- has unlocked ability -magma walker-. Unfortunately, Aesa thinks -Ikarus- might dislike this ability>]

'Why's that then Aesa?'

[<Ability -magma walker- allows -Ikarus- to create a small lake of magma every 24 hours. Despite phoenix resistances allowing -Ikarus- to walk over it, may be slightly underwhelming compared to other abilities>]

'Well that sucks... actually, I kinda want to give this a try one second. Aesa, activate it please'

[<Confirmed>]

Once Aesa confirms it, the ground beneath me within the woods turns into a steaming lake of lava spreading to a sizable distance away from me. It's only a small lake and it doesn't seem to have the same gasses an actual bed of flowing magma would have but it's not that bad. Despite Aesa downplaying it a little, it's a relatively decent size and I could see this being pretty useful depending on the situation. Any species that can't withstand fire would get trapped and continuously burn while inside this. This actually could be really deadly against nearly anyone and might of even worked against that mecha guy I just fought yesterday.
