I tried once again imagining a small flame appearing on my hand with reference to the picture, with Vaes need now flowing within me and reducing the rate of which my Vaes bar absorbed my mana to be around the same or lesser than that of my Vaes regeneration, as i didn't know the exact rate of it.
Feeling the flowing motion of Vaes and directing it to concentrate and seep out of my hand, i was able to see a yellow light, as small as a bead, appear and slowly get bigger.
I continued to keep it up, following my instincts, as i directed my Vaes towards the small light, slowly growing bigger until it took on a red tint and started having a semblance of a flame.
It was now around the size of a tennis ball, flickering like a real flame and giving off small amount of heat.
Amazing... for the first time in my life, i never been this amazed that i was able to do such an extraordinary thing.
As i checked my remaining Vaes in my body it seemed like it had drained around 1/10 of the way from just maintaining the small flame for a minute, even with the increased capacity in my Vaes bar i knew it was still really pathetic.
I wasn't discouraged as the book had said that through continuous use, training and studying one would be able to increase their Vaes capacity and reduce the amount of Vaes they used when performing a spell along with increasing their Vaes regeneration, as well as the fact that the Vaes consumption of the imagining method was disgustingly higher than that of the formula method, especially at the beginners stage.
In the next 30 minutes, i had done around 15 or more beginner imagining spells that the book had explained how to imagine and do, from water to wind to even darkness and light.
The consumption of some spells was much higher than the others and i had to draw upon another 2/10 of the Vaes bar, even if the current amount of Vaes i was able to use currently was low, it was more than enough to practice with.
After that, the book had stated that the methods for training in the imagining method was vague and highly differed between people, as everyone had their own perspective of the world, thus it stated that we had to find out how to train it on our own and that it would no longer teach the imagining method from this point on.
That was perfectly fine by me since I've never thought myself to have an amazing perspective of the world regardless of how many novels and anime I've seen and read.
The book stated it would start to teach me how to do the same spells as before but using the formula method.
But upon looking at the fireball spell and the explanation that followed on how to perform it using the formula method, it had reminded me exactly of chemistry, physics, and advanced mathematics...
Of course, it would be... why did i assume it would be something else? I should have already guessed that the formula method involved using the rules that humans had discovered and applied to the world, such as rules of science and mathematics, would be directly applied to how to effectively use magic and have complex spells just like in some novels I've read...
I can also assume that the average person today would have an amazingly high IQ compared to the people on earth just from the fact that this is a sci-fi world, mixed with magic, and so such complicated formulas may just be like elementary school level for them.
Since that was the case i decided not to even attempt the spells for now and try to increase the amount of knowledge stored inside my canvas as it was the only thing i could do.
The only problem was that I'd have to read a massive amount of books and carefully at that as reading it quickly would leave an incomplete copy in my canvas, due to my brain not processing each and every word.
