A Lesser Fire Attribute Magic Spell, the weakest there is.

By spending 10 Mana, create a small fire to lit candles, start a small fire, or illuminate a small and dark place.

The power of this Spell is mediocre and cannot be properly used for fighting, even the slightest breeze can turn off this tiny flame.

Ah, level 2 already! It has only been around an hour and a half since I got the Skill to be able to Level Up. I guess I can keep this going quite nicely for some time now. And of course, Spirit Blessing had also leveled up recently to Level 3.

With these two Skills leveling up simultaneously, I am beginning to finally realize how this System was supposed to work. If I didn't had it Glitched, I would had been able to Level Up and learn so many new Skills it is a bit insane to even think about it. And even more as Skills have Skill Trees, so whenever one reached max Level, new ones could be learned as well. Damn it, if I had this power since I was a baby, I would had unlocked so many powerful Skills already…

"I'm sorry for not having been able to provide you with such powers before, Sylphy…"

Suddenly, I heard Alice's voice. She is capable of being able to listen to my mind sometimes. I've told her to not do it all the time, but she still does it occasionally. Especially when I am feeling some sort of regret of sadness is when she listens to it the most.

"Eh? I am not blaming you or something, don't worry, Alice. I know it was hard for you to reach this Level of Power. I am glad about what we have right now. Don't sweat it." I told her.

"…Really? But even then… I am still just a failure, aren't I?" She sighed.

"Eh? No way! You're one of my best friends, you've been there since the beginning, haven't you?" I asked her.

"Maybe but still…" Alice seemed slightly depressed today.

"Come on now… Summon Spirit."

F L A S H!

I summoned her while we were taking a break by sitting over the grass, and then saw Alice's form, a large lump of light. If I wanted to, she could become invisible to others except me. I decided to hug her tightly to make her feel better.

"Come on now… Don't feel bad, I am happy as I am. Sorry for having thought about that, I won't do it anymore." I sighed, caressing her body.

"A-Ah… T-That's not it, I am not trying to tell you to not think about it, you're free to think however you want to, Sylphy. I am sorry for making you feel like that." She sighed.

"Come on now, you say sorry for everything… You're now more than the System, you're Alice, my Light Spirit! You're a companion in my life now. And you can even come out of my Soul Scape if you really want to as well." I said to her.

"T-That's right…" She sighed.

"I know you're shy about coming out, but if you don't come out of my Soul Scape constantly, you'll never be able to learn more about the world outside, right?" I asked her.

"Well… I… I guess you're right in there…" She said while nodding.

"How about you stay outside and we practice Light Magic together?" I wondered.

"Light Magic… Well, it is one of the divine runes that make my body, and I suppose it is part of what it has been qualified as my affinity in elements, so sure thing… I had never thought about fighting myself though. I wonder how that works." She wondered.

And like that, I summoned Alice for my friends to see. They were surprised when a big floating spherical light emerged before me, she was as bright as a star.

"W-What is that?!" Aquarina asked.

"So bright… Ugh, my eyes…" Cried Zack.

"She's Alice, she's a Light Elemental Spirit I found long ago, I've been keeping her a secret for some time because she's very shy." I said.

"A-Alice…" Aquarina said. "Wait, just how many spirits do you have, Sylphy?" Asked Aquarina, she only had two and one familiar, however, if I counted the sealed blue demon resting inside my Soul Scape, I had Ignatius, Naturia, Beelzebub, and Alice, that's five spirits, and Furoh is a Familiar, so six familiars in total.

Wow, that's a lot isn't it.

"Erm, anyways! She's shy but she wants to get along with everybody, we'll practice some Light Magic now." I said. "Don't look at her weirdly please…"

"Sure…" Said Aquarina. "Let's see what magic you can use!"

"I agree, I want to see as well." Zack added.
