Chapter 11: Way of the Shaman
"You have become a mage but that is only the basics of the shaman class and does not bring out its full potential. The last part of being a Shaman is the uses of rituals and a bit of alchemy. I was never formally taught alchemy so I only know the very basics. The basics of alchemy is mixing together different things with liquid mana to produce or enhance something. We don't have materials so I can not even show the basic healing potion. Do not doubt alchemy it is very powerful stuff. The strongest alchemist can make a slug kill a dragon." Gomrick said seeing Khan had finished the basics of being a magic user.
"How is that possible a slug could never kill a dragon?!" Khan said in disbelief.
"Of course a slug could its just that the potion would have to use the resources of many nations entire wealth put together" Gomrick replied with a snooty look.
"That would never happen" Khan retorted back.
"Slap" Gomrick hit Khan saying "Of course it could happen. Now the last part of being a Shaman is rituals. Rituals are all about give and take back. If you give up more you get more in return. The weakest and safest rituals take up only mana. For example the ritual I set up to attract more nature mana particles took away almost all my mana in return for a double of nature mana particles for a limited time. The strongest of rituals use blood and sacrifice they can grant great power but at the loss of life. Some rituals give an immediate effect some a more passive affect some permanent and some temporary the versatility of rituals are what make it extremally difficult to take out a shaman that has been in one place and had many resources for years. Most high level Shaman can even resurrect themselves. If their strong hold is not destroyed."
"How can a ritual let a shaman resurrect."
"I don't know my master was knowledgeable but not all knowing." Gomrick said scoffing. "Just remember their was once a Shaman who sacrificed everything to become the strongest in the end he was just a brain he had traded his body his senses his friends and family and became the smartest in the world with the ability to predict the future yet in the end he could do nothing for he was just a brain. Khan the strongest rituals involve the soul they are the most dangerous and powerful of the bunch but remember you can recover your body not your soul."
"I understand the soul is scared." Khan said amazed.
"Now it is time to teach you the basics of shaman rituals. The most basic transfer is to give up mana in return for the increase or decrease of something else. I will teach you the basic ruins for each stat from their you can either increase them for yourself and others or you can decrease them for others or yourself. We shamans discovered these symbols long ago sometimes new ones come to us in dreams or nature we actually don't know why they work but they do." Gomrick said starting to form symbols with mana. He then showed Khan the basic symbols for Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Constitution, Will Power, and Charisma. "These are all the ones I was taught by my teacher. Now you also have to infuse your will into these symbols too other wise it will have no clue what to do or affect. Now try it yourself."
Khan memorized the symbols then started to make them Infront of him. He started out with making the basic Strength symbol he then started to infuse his will into giving it the orders to strength the muscles in his arm to increase his strength. Once he was done he had them form a circle around him. He then put in all of his mana capacity into it causing the circle of symbols to light up around him. Khan then threw a punch as hard as he could immediately causing an air current around him. However Khan screamed clutching his arm as it started bleeding and the skin had torn apart with his bones sticking out. "ARRRRGHH!!!"
"YOU FUCKING FOOL!!! I didn't tell you cause I wanted you to learn from your mistake, but you threw in your entire mana into the ritual. What did you expect would happen if your muscles were suddenly three times as strong while your skin, tendons, and bones where still so weak. You have to balance the ritual you fool!!!" Gomrick said rushing over to Khan. He quickly knocked Khan over the head knocking him out cold. He then started to rearrange his bones before starting to heal him very precisely. Only when his tendons and bones were back in place and sorta together again did he start to reattach the skin back to Khan's arm.
"HUFF. God that's exhausting do all orcs ever think about is brute strength I thought this kid was a genius." Gomrick said falling on the ground besides Khan.
...
"What was that noise I thought I heard someone scream." An young orc patrolling the slave camp said.
"Oh shut up noobie your just all tensed up for the upcoming fight not lets get back to work. Memorize this attack pattern already." An older orc said staring at the other orc.
"Yes sir" the young orc replied.
...
Khan soon woke up a couple hours later only to feel immense pain and sourness in his arm he tried lifting it only to almost black out. "Shit what happened?" Khan said massaging his head with his other hand. He then started to remember back to what happen before glaring 'how could I be so stupid of course I need to use the constitution symbols to reinforce my bones and body' "HAHAH well I guess their nothing else to do but try again." Khan said laughing pulling him self up.
"haha that why I like that idiot he never gives up." Khan said to himself chuckling seeing Khan struggle to get up.
Khan then started all over again making picking out his symbols. 'How about I do a full body strengthening this time' Khan thought to himself. He then started to pull of the Dex Str and Con symbols making them in equal parts before setting up his ritual again. Khan then started to infuse his will into the symbols trying not to forget a single thing about his body blessing almost everything equally. 'This time lets do a steady stream of mana instead of just one full burst' Khan thought sending mana into the ritual.
The ritual lit up causing Khan to feel strange and breaming with power. "I see you have made the most basic body enhancing ritual. It is very basic, but that is because the strongest thing is the basics." Gomrick said looking over at Khan.
"Well lets see how it truly is Status" Khan replied.

"I see this is pretty good I just need to focus on increasing my mana then I can increase all my stat with rituals. I will truly become the strongest one day and no one will be able to beat me not even the gods HAHAHA!!! Shit my arm!" Khan said raising his arms in a victory position.
