Learning Magic

Minutes after they left, Saphira puts Brom on her back while Eragon and Naruto lead the horses. As they leave the village behind, Eragon notices the tracks of the Ra'zac and follows them. But as they were walking along, few minutes later it hits him: he used magic to kill those Urgals! Eragon was super-stoked about that, but he has many questions about this newfound ability. For example, why didn't Brom tell him about this? They continued on.

"Saphira why don't you scout ahead for a secluded camping spot" Eragon asked.

"You need only ask Little-One" she replied.

After a few hours of walking they finally, they settle down for the night and as Naruto slept Brom listens to Eragon tell him about the magic blast that he unleashed.

Brom thanked Eragon for saving his life, but then says that Eragon shouldn't have used the power. He had no idea what he was doing and could have destroyed himself and everything around him.

Eragon points out that, if Brom would, you know, teach him about this stuff, then he would know what he's doing.

Brom says that the magic is too powerful and complex a force to teach. There are hard and fast rules to magic that must be adhered to. The punishment for violating them is death.

Eragon presses him: for example?

Brom asks him if he said anything to release the blast. When Eragon replies, "Brisingr," Brom explains that magic stems from an ancient language that "describes the true nature of things, not the superficial aspects that everybody sees". The better this language is learned, Brom explains, the more powerful a magician one can become.

Suddenly Saphira realizes something. "Little-One, Brom is a magician!"

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Of course I'm sure" she patiently replied.

"Hey Brom are you a magician?" He asked bluntly.

Saphira face-palms(claws?) but Brom does admit that he knew a bit, but that he's getting old and is not as strong as a full-fledged Rider like Eragon.

Speaking of old age, it's now bedtime for Brom. Before he goes to sleep, though, he warns Eragon. "Remember that magic takes as much out of a person as any other difficult physical task. That's what makes it so dangerous. Once you commit to using it, you can't cancel it, so magicians have to know their physical limits well."

Despite Brom's warning, Saphira is stoked about how powerful they are becoming.

The next day all of the crew was rejuvenated and was back on the trail with Saphira flying above them.

"So, did I miss anything last night?" Naruto asked.

"Not really. Just asked a bit magic and stuff," Eragon says dismissively. "So what can you tell me about magic Naruto?" he asked. Naruto just shrugs and says, "I don't really know much about magic, I don't even know how to use it."

"Wouldn't your jutsus be the same?" Brom asked.

Naruto frowns and says "I don't think so. I felt the magic thing your talking about and it feels so different from chakra but at the same time it's the same"

"How so?" Eragon asked with Brom wondering the same.

"Um...I don't know" he answered sheepishly while scratching the back of his head. At this Brom and Eragon facefaults as Saphira, who was eavesdropping, sweatdropped. Brom shook his head and smiled at him. How could someone be smart and stupid at the same time? It didn't make sense! But he's got a good personality. I can tell he'd do anything to protect his friends and anyone close to him.

After that Naruto went back to his fuinjutsu book and Eragon began to think what were those Urgals were doing in Yazuac. Brom figures that they probably broke off from the main force to loot the place and Naruto recons that they're being forced. Hmm...

Later, Brom recounts his side of the battle, then imparts a bit more info about all this magic business:

All Riders can use magic. That's what makes King Galbatorix so darn powerful. The problem was, the Riders received comprehensive training in how to direct and channel their magical powers. This means that Eragon will be at a disadvantage in a magic duel.

Brom says that he'll do his best, though, to train him on the run. After all, Eragon has already shown promise with that whole exploding-Urgal-head trick.

To get better, Eragon will have to improve his ancient language vocabulary. Speaking the words is what releases the power. Also, it's impossible to lie when speaking in that language. Another thing to know about this language: if somebody knows your true name, they can use magic to exert tremendous power over you. For that reason, most people have two names, one they use casually and the hidden one that they keep secret.

Eragon would like to know his hidden name, but Brom warns him that obtaining that knowledge can prove very dangerous.

Eragon learns that magic can also heal (though it takes a lot of energy), but Riders are forbidden to use it to raise the dead. That's something that could kill a magic-user.

Brom demonstrates some magic that's more Eragon's speed. He teaches him to cause a pebble to levitate from his palm. After a few tries, Eragon succeeds.

Brom also mentions that magic is affected by distance. The farther away from the source it is, the more energy it takes to work.

Then Brom has Eragon keep practicing with the pebble. He teaches him some new magic words, then spars with him that night after dinner. Even left-handed, Brom still has mad skills and when he was tired Naruto volunteered to do it. The result was Eragon getting more bruises than he already got from Brom.

Their days slip into a pattern: Brom gives Eragon magic lessons during the day, sword-fighting lessons with either Naruto or Brom at night. Along the way, Eragon was getting stronger, as was Saphira.

After some time on the road, they come to the village of Daret.

Eragon has a nightmare about Garrow, who turns into the Ra'zac. Luckily, Saphira and Naruto was there to make him feel better. As Eragon calmed down and fell asleep, Naruto said to Saphira with a chuckle. "Even though he's like this he'll become great one day."

"Of course he is. I'm here" she answered with a laugh. "Though, all jokes aside he will be great. I can feel it" Naruto just nodded with a smile and went to sleep.
