Ramza sighed as he flipped page after page through the book Master Makarov gave him a few days back. Levy had translated a few parts of the book for him, but majority of the characters on the page were still intelligible for him.
He sat on the Fairy Tail bar, taking an exasperated sip from his cup filled with iced coffee. He scrunched his eyebrows on concentration on his book like someone looking down on a telescope. He threw his hands up in defeat as he had no progress on what any of the words of book meant.
A few members inside the guild looked at him weirdly, but then resumed to their own activities.
"Note to self." Ramza grumbled, "Do your research in private."
He then left the guild quietly, and nobody noticed that he was gone. Ramza took off into the forest, where he could train and nobody could interrupt him. If his memory serves correct, he knows only of a few words in the book, which were the ones that Levy had translated for him.
Ignaten, the incendiary spell. Aqua, the water stream spell. Fulminus, the lightning zap spell. Aerogan, the wind blast spell. Bramn, the shield spell.
He practiced casting the Sacred Script spells on various targets in the woods. He fired off an Ignaten spell into the sky, making it look like a miniature firework. He shot an Aqua spell at several trees, leaving small dents in the wood. Casting a Fulminus spell, he zapped at a stone, shattering it to pieces. Ramza wrote an Aerogan spell in the air and whacked it with his hand, sending strong breezes throughout the forest.
He experimented on his Sacred Script in various tests next. As unlike before, the Sacred Script spells didn't need the caster to stand still, but the rune. The caster was free to move anywhere in a twenty meter radius, anything beyond that would make the rune expire, but the rune would stay in place. The energy cost of the spells were definitely low, since Ramza could cast several of them and would not feel exhausted in any way. The only time he started to feel tired was when he had cast numerous spells, at that time the count being twenty-two.
Ramza found out that the effects of the spells could be changed by the size of how the rune was written. If an Ignaten spell was casted at the size of one's hand, a flame of approximately the same size would appear. If the same spell was casted at the size of a tree, then a flame the size of a tree would appear. So that means he could choose between speed and strength. A small rune requires almost no time at all, but it's strength would be lackluster. If one would draw a large rune, they could amass a large offensive, but it would take forever to cast.
Ramza practiced his spells until he felt his arms grow tired from all the writing, and then he took a break. He now has a sort of knowledge of how his spells work and a bit of experience under that. All spells, except the shield spell since there was nothing to shield from, had a sort of depth in Ramza's magical journey. He cast an Aqua spell to douse him in water, then an Aerogan spell to blow him dry. This somehow revitalized him whenever he felt tired, though Ramza didn't know why. It just did, and he was thankful for that.
He stood up again and prepared himself to practice casting his spells again, but a memory from before jogged his memory.
"Frigis!" Ramza snapped his fingers.
It was the only word that he had known from the book prior to asking Levy for help. He opened the book, looking for a rune that was placed beside the word.
"There!" Ramza's finger pointed at the word 'Frigis' in the book. There was a drawing of a symbol of a snowflake that branched out in intricate patterns.
"So, an ice spell." Ramza deduced.
He drew the corresponding symbol for Frigis in the air, taking care to imitate the drawn snowflake in the book. It took more time than the other runes to draw, since there were complex lines and designs inlined in the symbol. When the casting was finished and the rune hoverered in the air, Ramza hit it with every ounce of strength he had.
