Chapter 14
Fire.
Being a dark elf, it was natural that Faren was drawn to the element of fire. He had mastered the destruction spells that yielded great flame explosions that burnt his enemies to a crisp. However, he was always crippled by the fact that he contained a far lesser amount of magicka than the average mage. He wasn't expected to accomplish much, even under the influence of House Telvanni, and so he left, in hopes of seeking methods to improve his skills, to try and overcome his boundaries. He had decided to use scrolls; a magic spell contained in each parchment, he was able to cast them without using magicka. However this method proved expensive, and non-efficient. Nevertheless, he had felt proud, and somewhat, satisfied.
'But now…' Faren thought, as he gazed at a nearby glacier.
He extended his arm, which was embedded with soul gem fragments, with runic symbols carved into them, and was wrapped in bandages. The bandages itself were soaked in a mixture of Mora Tapinella and Ectoplasm, and gave an eerie blue glow. He grasped a fireball in his hand, and the symbols glowed red, and the gems hummed pleasantly.
And yet, he hardly felt any magicka escape him. He felt like he could fire at least fifty – no, one hundred fireballs consecutively – and still have enough for two hundred more.
Excited by the thought, he fired the spell at the glacier. An explosion of flames impacted the glacier, and half the ice was blown away in an instant. Not just the quantity of magic, but also the quality had been improved. He smiled.
He shouted triumphantly, as he began firing rapidly and crazily at all his surroundings, laughing like a madman. With this power, he felt that not only he could defeat the mage from before, but also learn other magic that the house wizards restricted in teaching him, claiming that it would be a 'waste of time teaching a brat who cannot even summon an Atronach normally.'
Fire burned brightly in his eyes, fueled by the thought of defeating the so called god.
