and she snorted.

“Rapid cure-all, boy. It’s an advanced healing spell, not something either of you are ready to learn for a while, but it has its uses, despite being overly expensive in the mana cost. Now, you need to rest; I’ll get food sorted out. Sit here, do nothing, and maybe I’ll let you go back out and fight when the gong goes.”

“You’ll ‘let’ me?” I asked, lifting one eyebrow.

“You want me to be your resident healer?” she asked pointedly, and I nodded slowly. “Then when I speak, you listen; or you can go to hell, and I’ll go to Narkolt. So, what’s it going to be?” she asked, glaring at me.

“I’ll rest,” I agreed sourly, leaning back and trying to ignore the satisfaction on her face, as well as the grins from the Legionnaires.

“Time to check those notifications…” Oracle whispered, gesturing to me, and they popped up, box after box flooding my vision.

N/A

Congratulations! Your Evolving Weapon has reached an important milestone in claiming the souls of its victims, and you can now choose a secondary Bonus Ability!

1)       Increased Capacity:

You choose to convert the essence of the souls most recently captured into increasing the weapon’s ability to absorb and feed on the souls of its victims, rising from 100 to 150. This will lower the current capacity from 33/100 to 1/150, reducing its current damage done from 24-40+33 to 24-40+1.

2)       Soul Stealer:

Your weapon is now more efficient at stealing the souls of its victims, and has a higher chance to absorb them, even when you’re not channeling into it at the point of death! You will have a 10% chance to steal any souls released when your weapon deals the killing blow without infusion, and an 80% chance when infused!

3)       Elemental Destruction:

Your weapon has reached the stage of developing its first elemental ability: Elemental Destruction! Once per 24 hours, you can activate this ability  to send an element-powered shockwave outward in a radius of 20m, which will enact the maximum weapon damage +’x’ where ‘x’ is the distance in meters from you, dropping in power over distance. (Example: three targets surrounding you at a range of 5m would each be hit with 40(max weapon) +33 (Bonus damage) +15 (remaining distance to edge of AOE) for a total of 88 damage)

Choose carefully, as once made, this choice cannot be undone.

“Damn…” I muttered, rubbing my chin. “Okay, time to think logically…hmmmm.” Considering the most tempting first, ‘Elemental Destruction,’ was awesome. I assumed it meant if I planted the butt in a pool of water, it would do water damage, or planting it into the soil would cause earth damage. While it was cool and would
