I do not own BNHA or D&D

Izuku had trained with magic for over a month now, he hadn't learned any new spells besides the 4 cantrips(Light, Eldritch Blast, Mage Hand and Sacred Flame) and 4 1st level one spells(Thunderwave, Expeditious Retreat, Guiding Bolt and Cure Wounds) he already knew, but what he did learn was more important. Turning his magic into healing energy in a technique called Healing Light, which he can use twice a day, and both magical and non-magical combat training against a never ending tirade of dream opponents. These were the things Izuku had been practicing and learning all this time to become strong.

Couatl also taught Izuku about various monsters from the Lich's universe and from the many Planes of Existence(which was a whole other deal that Izuku could barely wrap his head around) and also what a Lich was, because he just knew it was some kind of undead thing. Essentially, a lich is a wizard who sacrificed their humanity and become undead to learn magic forever but requires a reserve of souls to continue to exist. Most of them are villainous but the one he was destined to fight was incredibly evil.

Going by the titles of "The Undying King" "The Whispered One" and around 5 other equally edgy titles, he was once a human but in his quest to achieve Godhood for reasons long forgotten to time, he slaughtered countless and enslaved more. He was stopped 200 years ago by a group of legendary Heroes and Gods but he escaped by sacrificing every soul he had in his reserves to tear a hole between universes and caused a ripple of magic through space which accidentally created Quirks on Earth.

So yeah, Izuku had his work cut out for him on the whole defeating him deal. Just one more reason to train as hard as he did.

Just 10 months remained now until the UA Entrance Exams, Izuku knew he couldn't afford to slack off on any of his training if he wanted a chance to pass. There was just one thing he forgot in his magical training regime. School.

Thankfully, Couatl allowed Izuku to rest during school hours. What were once the most stressful hours of his life became the least, as insults and bullying hurt a LOT less that getting run through by the weapons of dream warriors. He learned that the hard way...several times. However none noticed Izuku's more relaxed state at school more than Katsuki, he noticed how different Izuku seemed, and he hated it.

In Katsuki's mind, Deku looking happy while he tried to berate him for being useless meant Deku was looking down on him, and nobody looks down on Katsuki Bakugo and gets away with it. Deku, however, would just keep that smug look on his face, like he was better than Katsuki. Nothing, absolutely nothing, infuriated Katsuki more than when that nerd brushed off anything he threw at him ranging from insults to explosions. It pissed him off.

Izuku was jogging to school until he stopped to watch a fight with a Villain. The Villain had a gigantification Quirk and was currently causing some havoc at Tatooin station, Police had already started putting up a perimeter to keep people back but that didn't stop anyone from watching.

'Oh man, I wonder what that guy's Quirk is? Can he just grow giant or does he gain other abilities as well? Is his body stronger to support his larger form while in his smaller form or is his strength only increased while giant?' Izuku started to ramble in his head.

'Izuku, you are rambling.' Couatl scolded him in their many voices.

'Sorry, I just get so curious about Quirks, you know? Of course you know you're in my head, that was dumb to ask.'

'There is something you may possess due to the bond, causing an ability shared, an ability to tell what Quirk others have. Are you curious enough to attempt this?'

'Really? That would be great, let's do it!'

Izuku stood silently as Couatl was probably doing something in his head, until he felt slightly different but couldn't exactly tell what.

'Attempt to reach out to that which alludes you, to see through different eyes.' Couatl said as advice to Izuku to follow. Izuku then focused on that new feeling, he was used to this feeling of knowing something without experiencing it before from learning magic so it wasn't as hard as it once was. After a couple of seconds he felt the warmth in his chest move to his eyes as all colour drained from his vision and each person he could see had a glowing energy of a different colour and some had a grey energy he could see swirl, he could even see the auras of people he couldn't see behind a nearby wall.

[Detect Magic]

'Whoa...I have no idea what any of these colours mean.'

'Then this shall be a lesson for you.

Green is Transmutation- The magic of change.

Blue is Abjuration- The magic of protection.

Purple is Illusion- The magic of deception.

Orange is Conjuration- The magic of moving energy.

Yellow is Enchantment- The magic of mind and body.

Red is Evocation- The magic of creating energy.

White is Divination- The magic to see and learn.

Black is Necromancy- The magic of life and death.'

Izuku copied that into his notebook of magical knowledge. 'What does it mean if it's grey?"

'Old and faded magic, likely someone without a Quirk.' Izuku hummed and wrote that down, every human apparently had direct exposure to raw magic due to the Quirk Event caused by the Lich entering the universe so that made sense that even the Quirkless would be affected by some kind of background radiation of magic. Izuku paused to appreciate how weird that thought was out of context.

He was knocked out of his thoughts by the villain knocking down debris toward the crowd, Izuku watched as it was caught by Death Arms who glowed green with transmutation, Izuku thought it was because his body was changed to have increased strength. Backdraft rushed in and blocked off the area with a water barrier, red with evocation as he created the water with his quirk and tiny flecks of transmutation due to his arms being hoses. Another green as Kamui Woods rushed ahead and swung into action against the also green Villain, their bodies both change with their Quirks, Izuku figured it made sense. Finally a giant Hero woman leapt forward dealing a great kick to the Villain and taking him out, her Quirk also green but that seemed pretty obvious why.

'This ability works like a charm!' Izuku thought, looking at himself and seeing a large beautiful swirling mass of shifting colour in his chest, much brighter than the magic of Quirks because it was raw and unchained unlike Quirks which are locked to doing a single thing. His magic comfortably sits there when he's not using it so that made sense why it was there. As the crime scene was being cleared Izuku had a thought.

'How do I turn this off?'

School had ended and Katsuki was pissed for two reasons, one was the fact that Deku had the gall to try and enter UA without a Quirk like he was trying to mock him, that getting into UA was so easy that even a Quirkless could do it. The second was that the damn nerd had been scribbling in his stupid notebook all day like a stalker following everyone around and writing about their Quirks. Bullying the nerd didn't even get a reaction out of him anymore, it's been like that for weeks now.

He walked up as everyone was leaving, snatching his notebook before he could put it in his bag. "Don't think our little conversation from earlier is over, Deku." he said holding the book away from him, that actually got a reaction out of him, he looked worried because of it. Good.

"Katsuki, what's that?" Fingers asked walking up to him. He moved the book back while not looking away from Deku. "Huh? I...I can't read this...like at all. Is this even Japanese?" he said confused.

"What are you, an idiot?" Katsuki said taking a look at the book and understanding the confusion, whatever was written on this book wasn't Japanese or English or any language he recognised, flipping through the book he saw that every page was filled with these nonsense characters. "The fuck is this, Deku? You come up with some kinda fake language so no one can read the weird shit you write about everyone?" he asked, the worried look on Deku's face faded back into that smug smile. It didn't even change when he threw the nerd's notebook out the window, he just whispered something under his breath.

"The fuck did you say, nerd!?" he shouted.

"C'mon man, let's just go. He doesn't even do anything when you do this anymore, it's honestly just boring and sad." Fingers said, the rest of the extras in Katsuki's class stopped caring about Deku after he stopped reacting, they got bored of him not long after. Katsuki still had more that a single bone to pick with the nerd though and Deku pretending that nothing phased him wasn't going to stop him.

"Tch, fine. But know this you damn nerd, If you apply to UA I will destroy you!" no reaction at all. "Maybe you can get in, if you take a swan dive off the roof and get a Quirk in your next life!" no reaction again! 'Do something you Freak!' He growled in his head out of frustration and called it a win for himself before leaving, slamming the door behind him.

Izuku sat in the now empty classroom as outside the open window a green hand floated up holding his notebook, he floated the Mage Hand over and took the book from it before giving it a high-five and watching it pop into green smoke. 'Nice, he didn't even burn this one so I can still use it.' he thought before putting his book away 'Geez, I thought for a second that Katsuki would read all my magic stuff and go crazy from the revelation. What was all that about a different language though?'

'The secrets of magic cannot be expressed in your kind's tongue, each spell is spoken and written in far more powerful languages. What you speak and write is Celestial, the language of those who dwell within the Heavens. It would seem you were instinctually writing and reading Celestial and did not realise it.'

'And because you're from the Heavens, I can speak, read and write it too?'

'Technically, the Prime Material Plane was the birthplace, not any of the Seven Heavens of Celestia. Though, minds are links with the progenitors before and the descendants after.'

'The Prime Material Plane is the one I'm in now, right? Also does that mean that each of your voices was a different Couatl?'

'Both are correct in a sense. The Planes exist outside of your realm but the Prime Material Plane is your realm and all others. Though connection to your specific realm is difficult, the reason one would travel within and bridge realms together. Somewhere within this realm are one's current whereabouts, though after nearly two centuries, travel continues to remain monotonous.'

'Cool. So where are you now? If you can get to Earth it would probably help a lot.'

Couatl paused as if in thought 'Specifics are unknown, though according to your knowledge of this realm...Somewhere in space.'

'Oh...You can't teleport here? Aren't you more magical than me?'

'Various reasons that don't have to be explained.'

'Alright, I won't pry into the vast secrets of magic again.' Izuku thought, feigning sadness.

'You had almost experienced an aneurysm when you were first informed of the Planes of Existence.'

'You were the one who thought I could handle it.'

'It was explicitly stated that you could not, you then complained for 24 minutes and 56 seconds. You were then informed of the basics and promptly collapsed. Go home.'

'...fine.' Izuku thought, defeated.

As Izuku was walking home he was speaking in his mind with Couatl.

'You may be ready for your next level soon.'

'Next level?'

'You are currently at your weakest, potential is seen and the connection can become stronger. Making you stronger.'

'What happens when our connection is stronger?'

'An increase of magic. Specifically the raw eldritch magic within you may be tamed further.'

'Oh great, so what do I need to-What's that noise?' Izuku looked behind him and saw a guy whose Quirk made him a sentient pile of slime.

"My luck's turning around. A medium sized invisibility cloak." Izuku examined his opponent, he was very similar to the "Ooze" creatures that Couatl made him fight in his dreams once, meaning he had to use magic as his fists were mostly useless, he may also be acidic so its important to avoid physical contact at all costs.

The villain dived at him but Izuku was able to jump backwards and get into a stance he could fight in. The slime Villain groaned in annoyance. "C'mon kid, you'll be doing me a real favour here. It's only going to hurt for about 40 seconds, then you won't feel a thing."

Izuku whispered and gestured his hands in front of him, light emanating from his chest and glowing like veins up his arms as he shoved both his arms out with one last word in Celestial. [Guiding Bolt] The light shot out of his arms in a shimmering beam of light, the Villain was confident that he wouldn't be hurt by it, like any other attack against his Quirk, so he stood still as an intimidation tactic. Once it collided with his body he was immediately filled with horrible, searing pain, something he never felt when using his Quirk before. Luckily for him, Izuku was holding back.

The Villain's body began giving off light and felt weak as Izuku held up a hand with green energy crackling off it, "Back away now, or I'll be forced to knock you out and report you to the Police." he said, it was a bluff as he used his only 1st Level spell slot so he only had cantrips to work with, thankfully the weakened Villain stalled long enough that a manhole cover was blown away and revealed someone Izuku never thought he would see in person.

"All Might!?" he shouted in wide eyed shock. The villain shouting the same out of fear.

"IT'S ALRIGHT NOW, YOUNG MAN. BECAUSE I AM HERE!" The number one Hero announced. The slime villain tried to attack the Hero but All Might pulled his fist back "TEXAS SMASH!" he shouted as he punched, wind pressure filling the tunnel they were in but was so precise that Izuku was only blown by strong wind and not effected as bad as the Villain who was blown into pieces.

Izuku was frozen in shock and awe, he had seen a giant magic snake and cast actual magic so not much still phased him, but this was THE All Might so he had an excuse.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT, YOUNG MAN?" he asked, causing him to snap back to his senses. 'You learned better than to freeze like that, c'mon Izuku!' he scolded himself.

"Thank you so much All Might! Can I get an autograph!?" he quickly shouted, still in a state of shock after seeing the super celebrity in person.

All Might laughed his signature laugh "OF COURSE, YOUNG MAN! RIGHT AFTER I DEAL WITH THIS VILLAIN HERE." he said, emptying two large bottles. After a slightly awkward clean up session, that took close to an hour due to how scattered the villain was, All Might took Izuku's notebook, curiously eyed the language he didn't understand and signed the last two pages in the book. He then took off through the skies as Izuku looked at All Might's signature, still slightly in shock of meeting the greatest Hero ever.

"I'm framing this over my bed." he said to himself.

Not much later the smell of smoke hit Izuku, he looked around and saw it rising from nearby. Assuming it was a Villain attack, he ran toward the scene excited to make more notes. As he ran up to the barricade which was farther back than usual, that was a bad sign that something bad was happening. He saw that there were three people with various mutation Quirks and one comparatively human looking who was shooting balls of fire at the surrounding buildings. They were all wearing cloaks and the mutation Quirked Villains were holding hostages. One of which was Katsuki. 'Oh crap.' He, like the other hostages, had a sword held to his throat.

He watched as at the end of the street two pro heroes stood with a few squad cars worth of police. "This is Kamui Woods, Death Arms and the Musutafu Police Department. You are in violation of multiple laws, including public Quirk usage and hostage taking."

The villains stopped once they spoke and watched as a man in a trench coat spoke up "What do you want? What are your demands?" A negotiator asked to the Villains, his face was calm and composed.

"A news crew to broadcast our message and 1,000,000 yen worth of diamonds." The fire shooting villain responded.

The negotiator seemed to be in thought "Those are quite odd requests, do you mind if I ask why you want those?"

"To spread the word and to please the Undying King. For we are the forces who's only goal in life is to please the Dark Lord."

The Police looked to the Detective who stood still, not giving them any cues, they then looked to each other realising that these Villains are insane and are telling the truth to Detective Tsukauchi.

Izuku felt his stomach drop when he heard the name Undying King, he felt an overwhelming sense of dread knowing these people were working for the Lich. The one that mercilessly killed countless people and indirectly caused the creation of Quirks with his massive amounts of magic. THAT LICH!

'Remain calm, Izuku. It is obvious he is not present. The Lich would not be merciful enough to hold hostages, these are just cultists. Likely, but not certainly, without magic.'

Izuku took deep breaths and looked out to the hostage situation, 'So we leave this to the Heroes?'

'Possibly, but it is recommended that the Lich's forces should not remain free.'

'What do you suggest?'

'Your body shall be improved to it's next level. A method of disguise shall be gifted alongside it. Please brace for any uncomforting outcomes.'

Izuku didn't get a chance to brace as he felt the warmth in his chest grow and grow, encompassing his whole body, it felt like burning but wasn't uncomfortable. 'Magic is weird.' The feeling died down and Izuku felt a significant change in warmth in his chest like it had doubled in size. He also knew some extra words to throw out when casting Eldritch Blast and a couple new things entirely. 'That felt strange.'

'Head into that alleyway on your right.' Couatl ordered, Izuku followed their order and waited. 'A technique to misguide and trick, to hide your true self. Reach out and cover yourself, with the Mask of Many Faces.' Izuku reached out to the new knowledge inside him, he wanted to look pretty different, maybe some different clothes that would hide him, maybe change his voice if he could. He whispered arcane secrets and placed a hand over his face.

[Mask of Many Faces]

Light looked to be bending and warping around him until where once was a green haired teenage Japanese boy in a school uniform stood a mysterious looking man with clothes almost identical to the negotiators but with a different tie and no gloves, his collar was up and he wore the same hat which, combined with magic, hid most of his face in perpetual shadows. In terms of his face through the shadows, he looked like an adult Izuku without freckles and more serious looking eyes, any hair was covered by the hat and collar and his height was the same. Unless someone was really trying to see his face then they would likely only see his mouth and green eyes that seemed to glow through the shadow.

Izuku looked at his reflection on a trash can "Not too shabby if I do say so myself, even Katsuki won't suspect it's really me." he said to himself, his voice also changed to sound more deep to match his illusory body 'What now, Couatl?'

'Head to the roof, you will overlook the street away from their vision. Jump down and attack.' Izuku nodded spotting a ladder to the top of the building he was next to, upon reaching the top he saw the three mutant Quirk villains focused on their hostages and the fire villain talking to the negotiator as a news crew was present just behind him. Izuku jumped down behind the Villains while whispering Celestial words, a gentle hum filling the air until he hit the ground with a roll and stood at an angle where the three Villains were in a straight line.

[Thunderwave]

The three Villains were engulfed in a loud boom of thunderous sound, knocking them away with such force that they were knocked into a nearby building. Considering a normal one could rip half an old car into shreds he held back on using the full power on a human, even if they were cultists. He also angled the blast to not hit any of the hostages.

Izuku noticed the magic in his chest was still there, he's not out of big spells yet, he's probably got one more in him. He looked to the fire throwing Villain with a smug look on his face, his illusory trench coat billowing slightly in the breeze. He stood in front of the hostages to act as protection. "Turn yourself in, or I'll have to force you.

"What!? Who are you!? You dare interfere with the Undying King's goals!" the fire Villain shouted before speaking words Izuku didn't recognise and waving his hands, he clued in that he was using magic this whole time to launch fire. [Fire Bolt] An orb or fire was thrown at Izuku, in his mind Couatl had told him that the spell was just a cantrip.

To anyone else watching, the mysterious stranger who jumped in to save the hostages had smacked away the fire the Villain launched at him and his hand wasn't even burned. In reality Izuku had used his backpack to block the attack, the backpack in question had been hidden by Mask of Many Faces. 'Use your latest spell, it had been chosen for this general scenario.'

Izuku whispered his own eldritch words and subtly waved his fingers, a dark smoke coalescing around his eyes and mouth as he chanted until it flew forward and stuck to the cultist.

[Cause Fear]

In the cultist's mind he saw visions of slow, painful deaths, the kind of fate he was spared by working for his Dark Lord. An infinite amount of pain, being slowly tortured to death only to be revived and relive it again and again. He saw it, he swear he could feel it, the absolute horror filled his body. This trench coat wearing monster was the cause, his greatest fears manifest.

He let out a blood curdling scream as he fell to the ground in fear, cowering and crawling backwards as fast as he could away from whatever that thing disguised as a man was. He ironically ran to the Heroes and Police for help, "PLEASE! GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME! I'LL COME PEACEFULLY! JUST GET IT OUT OF HERE!"

Izuku adjusted his illusory hat "Thanks for cooperating." he chuckled.

After the Heroes and Police dealt with the screaming cultist and the three unconscious ones and helped anyone left in the buildings, Backdraft had arrived and was clearing up the last of the fires, and Izuku was still disguised and with the Hostages, a man and a woman with frog-like features and Katsuki. "Are any of you injured?" he asked, still speaking in a deeper voice created by magic. The man and woman had scrapes and cuts and Katsuki growled that he didn't need any help.

Izuku whispered a short verse in Celestial three times, it almost sounded like a song to those listening. [Healing Light] Any wounds the three had glowed with a dull green light that felt comforting and soothing. Once it vanished the wounds had also vanished as if they had never existed, the man even commented that a pain in his back from the morning had disappeared as well. The only downside was that Izuku had used all three uses he had, he also had three uses now instead of two from the level up, which was neat. He assumed they would increase with each level up.

"Hey! Stranger!" he heard an angry, gruff sounding voice call out behind him, he was ready to just run and leave in full sprint but turned around anyway. Death Arms and Kamui Woods had approached him, 'Oh no, I'm out of level 1 spells, there's no way I can escape them both.' he thought until Death Arms gave him a thumbs up "Nice one, Guy. Those creeps sounded like they weren't going to give up the hostages even if we followed their demands. That was still a real risk though, you know!"

"I would like to thank you as well, to know there was nothing I could do with the fire Villain's Quirk was a taxing blow to my soul." Kamui Woods said, disappointed in himself but also thankful for the stranger's work.

"Wow, Death Arms and Kamui Woods! I'm a huge fan, I didn't think I'd ever get to see you guys up close." Izuku said, laughing awkwardly. The two Pro Heroes were slightly confused by the sudden change in personality from the mysterious Hero to fanboy but they just went with it.

"Well, I wouldn't mind working with you sometime. What's your name, pal?" Death Arms asked, Kamui Woods also seemed interested. 'Oh crap, I didn't think of this, what do I say?' Then Couatl gave him a bit of help. Izuku mumbled under his breath with a hand in one of the illusory trench coat pockets and the other over his face as if adjusting his hat. [Mask of Many Faces] His appearance hadn't changed any further but he had stuck something illusory to his hand.

Izuku held up his hand, holding a Hero licence with his current face on it, also covered by shadows from a hat and coat in the picture. "Warlock, I'd give you my business card but I left them in my other coat." Izuku said, putting his hand back in his pocket with a small laugh. Kamui Woods seemed to hum in agreement "I understand completely, my costume doesn't come with pockets to hold any business cards." "Really a great design choice." Death Arms said, making a joke at his friend's expense.

Detective Tsukauchi stood close by as the this "Warlock" adjusted his hat again and mumbled something. His Quirk, Lie Detector was the reason he was used so often for hostage negotiations. It didn't work like most people thought, it was like a targeted mind reading on a single person and if they lied he heard a beep noise in his head like a lie detector and if they told the truth then it wouldn't go off. He was curious about the possible Vigilante who stopped the hostage situation but he overheard everything and he didn't hear a single beep, so he supposed that this "Warlock" really was a Hero. Just a reckless one he didn't know with an odd Quirk, but he still had his suspicions.

Izuku was forced to stick around for a short while as he was interviewed as "Warlock" by the news station already present alongside Kamui Woods and Death Arms, thankfully he was trained to have much better control of his emotions nowadays and he was a better liar recently so it didn't bother him as much as it might have a month before.

After the relatively short interview he was about to leave until he was stopped by the man and woman he saved with the frog Quirks, they stood alongside three other younger people with frog-like Quirks who were presumably their children, one even looked around Izuku's own age. The younger ones thanked him for saving their parents and the two he saved also showed their gratitude. He just smiled, "No need to thank me, just doing what any Hero should do." The eldest, teenage frog-Quirked girl looked at him with a shine of inspiration in her eyes, despite her face remaining fairly blank and hard to read.

Shortly after, he disappeared into an alleyway and deactivated Mask of Many Faces, turning him back into his regular green teenage self. He felt super happy about being thanked for saving people and continued on his way home. His backpack and was pretty burnt but it wasn't the first time so he could probably get away with it.

Later in the day, Izuku was training on the beach again. Couatl had explained that by levelling up to Level 2 came with abilities called Eldritch Invocations, one was Mask of Many Faces which he already got the hang of after some practice but usually got one or two small details wrong when trying to look like someone else. The maximum time limit was an hour until it vanished naturally, thankfully he could cast this as many times as he liked, like a cantrip.

He also couldn't make himself look more than 1ft taller or shorter than his own height or give himself more or less limbs, but he was able to give himself small additions like horns or accessories attached to him like the trick with his fake Hero licence. It was also all just illusions so if anyone touched anything made by the invocation they would faze right through it but Izuku could move the illusions as he was the one who made them. Good thing nobody had touched him as Warlock.

The other was called Agonising Blast, an improvement to the spell Eldritch Blast. Izuku knew that Agonising Blast would be stronger, it literally had "Agonising" in the name so it was a fair guess. Izuku focused on the target, another large fridge with thick metal doors, Izuku chanted the spell and moved his arms as green eldritch energy crackled on them as well as a new smoky red energy swirling around with it. [Agonising Blast] The blast of pure magic shot out of his hand, slamming into the fridge with much more force than an Eldritch Blast and creating a brief red smoke cloud. The smoke quickly faded and the door to the fridge was completely blown in half.

'Note to self: Don't shoot people with spells with "Agonising" in the name.' he thought to himself. Izuku continued training with cantrips until Couatl interrupted his training.

'Izuku, your well of magic has increased now. Do you feel any different?' Their voices asked.

"Kinda, I feel more heat in my chest. That's pure magic right?"

'Correct, It is thought that the concentration of magic in your body has caused unlikely side effects.' Izuku started to panic a little but Couatl seemed to take notice 'Be not afraid, they are not a danger. A being with large amounts of magic may exert their will on the rules of magic themselves to an extent. This technique is referred to as Metamagic, you have limited access to this technique.'

Izuku thought for a moment "So what can I do?" he asked.

'It is best to start of simply, manipulating the laws of magic and physics is not an easy task. You shall practice Quickened spells by decreasing the amount of time needed for casting a spell by pumping magic directly from your source into the spell before it should normally be cast. Then practice Transmuted spells, changing the elemental nature of a spell before it is formed using the same strategy with a bit more thought.'

"Ok, just throwing me into the deep end again." he said with a sigh.

'Then perhaps you should learn to swim.'

"...I'm going to practice magic now."

Over the next couple of hours Izuku was able to grasp the fundamentals of Quickened spells and was able to perform one once, launching an Eldritch Blast twice as fast as usual. He struggled with Transmuted spells as meddling with the laws of physics wasn't easy and the only element based spell he has is Thunderwave, Thunder element specifically, which was based around noise loud enough to cause damage.

Because of the limited 1st level spells slots, there were only so few uses to experiment with. Thankfully, with the addition of another spell slot, the time they took to reform also shrunk. Meaning 1 hour for two slots or 30 minutes for each one so he could practice 1st level spells a bit more frequently, he also learned that his current limit for Metamagic was 2 uses per day which kind of sucked but he could practice a lot more in the dream so it was fine overall.

Once Izuku returned home he was greeted by his mother, who had grown to expect him home late after "Quirk training". Izuku went on an excited rant about all the interesting Hero fights he saw today including the one with Warlock, but he didn't mention a lot of facts about the last fight, his mother had to remind him to eat his dinner due to his excitement.

Izuku hadn't told his mom about anything magic related, he told her that he had a nightmare and suddenly woke up with a Quirk that let him make things happen by saying certain words. It didn't feel good to lie to his own mom but he couldn't tell her, not like she would believe him anyway. He compared it to those movies where some kids find something supernatural but the parents don't believe them because they're children and they believe the supernatural doesn't exist. Except that he was the child and the world was the parent. Thankfully, was better at speaking around the absolute truth somehow after mentally fusing with Couatl, he didn't know how or why but the answer to both was probably magic.

He looked on his phone about the latest Hero news stories, ready to write about them in his Hero Analysis notebook. Mt Lady's debut and All Might capturing the slime villain were popular but he was definitely surprised at the large amount of coverage on Warlock. "Hero Debuts: Warlock" "Warlock saves 3 hostages from crazed Villains." "Sexy new Supers: The Warlock." 'And that's enough news for me!' Izuku thought quickly changing to a different website.

Izuku looked on various forums too, they were also talking about Warlock. "Who is the Warlock? What we know so far" "The Warlock's Quirk: My Personal Theory." "Hero Fight Analysis: Warlock vs Cultists" It seemed his alter ego had grown quite popular in just a few hours, pretty surprising considering he didn't really put much thought into it, even the outfit was mostly copied from the negotiator guy. Maybe it was just the mystery of who he was or his flashy "Quirk" that intrigued people.

'Well, seems like people have already taken a liking to Warlock. I probably should have toned down just how much magic I showed back there.' Izuku laughed uncomfortably.

'Perhaps the people would like to see more of the Warlock in action. Real battles are a better teacher than those of a dream'

'I'm not going to start doing Vigilante work.'

'It is understood that your laws specifically state the use of Quirks in actions similar to that of a Pro Hero without a license is Vigilantism. You use magic, not a Quirk.'

'I...Ok you have a point there, but it's not like anyone will believe me when I say "I wasn't using a Quirk it was magic".'

'And if there are no Heroes who can help? If the Lich's forces attack again?'

'...Then I guess Warlock will have to show up again and sort things out.'

'Indeed, now sleep. You have training to do.'

Naomasa was suspicious, it was his job as a detective to be after all, but he was suspicious about Warlock. Even without him using his Quirk he had seen enough people lying to know the subtle cues. Subtle changes in the voice, hiding the face, refusing to make eye contact are the main ones but there are more. He knew that something about Warlock was wrong, that his Quirk must not have worked on him for some reason even though he knows the "Hero" was lying about something.

He watched the news footage of the culprit once again, he dives down from a roof and blows 3 Villains away with a blast of...something. Wind and sound? One would assume this was his Quirk but then the culprit blocked the remaining Villain's Quirk with his bare hand, smacking it away like an insect. Perhaps this Quirk could cancel out other Quirks, it made sense if he was immune to his own Lie Detector. Then the culprit showed off a third move, making the Villain scream in fear after being touched by black smoke.

When interrogated the Villains didn't say much and everything they did say was true, they followed a leader known as the Undying King and said he would bring a new age onto the world. Once Naomasa said that he would bring in Warlock to interrogate him it was obvious the fire Villain was still scared of the stranger because of this third Quirk.

The thing that ticked him off the most is that there was literally nothing on the man, not a single shred of documentation in everything he had access to gave even a tiny hint to the Warlock. He had lists of Heroes from all over the world and not one showed similarities to Warlock, he just...appeared, stopped a crime and vanished. Not a single camera caught footage of the man before or after the incident, did he have a teleporting Quirk too?

Then there were the comments in the report from the hostages, that he had healed their wounds. Another unrelated Quirk!

Naomasa put his head in his hands, he hadn't gotten anywhere with this all night after starting to theorise that Warlock wasn't a real Hero and somehow had a fake Hero licence. He didn't even know of any dealers that would give those out though, it was quite redundant too as the HPSC and Police would find out who you are pretty quick if you ever had one.

He has 4, maybe 5 Quirks that had no discernible connection, someone could be born with a single Quirk that seemed like 2 different Quirks that were connected somehow, hell there were even cases of a Quirk that looked like 3 different ones but they were always connected somehow by some kind of theme. These Quirks were usually the results of Quirk marriages but having 4 or 5 Quirks that are so different was too unlikely to have been this.

Sonic Blast, Quirk Nullification, Fear Gas, Healing Song and Teleport(?). These were the Quirks that Naomasa had dubbed for Warlock on his report and feared the worst that if someone could have this many unrelated Quirks that All for One was somehow involved but Warlock clearly had good intentions, he saved and healed the hostages so that theory was put on the back burner for now, but not forgotten.

He sighed and got up from his desk "I need a drink." he said to himself before a notification popped up on his computer. An email from the Hero Public Safety Commission president.

Thanks for reading.

And just like that I have already started messing with rules of D&D and started having Izuku confuse the public with magic.

For the people who actually know D&D rules who are confused as to why Izuku has Metamagic when he's not a Sorcerer, I essentially gave Izuku the Feat- Metamagic Adept, giving him access to 2 Metamagic points and 2 Metamagic abilities (Quickened spell and Transmuted spell)

Also to explain some other abilities. Izuku is linked to the powerful, psychic and magic mind of Couatl, who can cast Detect Magic as well as two other similar spells at will, so I figured, Why not give Izuku this ability too?

To explain why Naomasa's Lie Detector Quirk didn't work on Izuku also comes from Couatl in their Shielded Mind ability, which to quote the manual directly "The Couatl is immune to scrying and to any effect that would sense its emotions, read its thoughts, or detect its location." so I figured it would be a fun side effect of this and may give Izuku some other advantages later.

One more thing, Izuku's going to have to hold back on people, a lot. D&D spells are very dangerous in the D&D world to begin with. An average civilian has 4hp and a spell like Eldritch blast does an average of 5 or 6hp per hit. Agonising Blast adds more damage, with my stats for Izuku it's a +3, meaning the absolute minimum damage he can do with it could instantly kill your average joe! And he's only Level 2! Yeah Izuku's gonna be a scary opponent later in the story. But so is our funky undead friend~
