"hmm... Rocky I'm bored..." said Lylah as she lay on a pile of flowers while playing with a floating magic circle with her wand, beside her Rocky who was now leaning his back against the wall of the silent hallway.
"TUK"/ "OUCH! Rocky! It hurts!... yes, yes it's my fault hmp!" replied Lylah whose forehead was poked by Rocky, although the poke was not too hard but with Rocky's stone hand it was enough to make her hurt.
Now the two were resting from their long journey, the two continued to walk for several hours but unfortunately they did not get any sign of the end of the passage they passed.
"Wait! Rocky, what's that in your hand?" said Lylah, pointing at Rocky's hand.
Ricky looked at his own hand and now found that there was a magic circle hovering around his hand, Rocky felt strange about what was currently happening with his hand.
In the past he had wanted to learn magic secretly while Lylah studied with Master Sage besides that he also occasionally read books in Master Sage's library to get rid of boredom, but unfortunately no matter how hard he did it never worked. Master Sage said while correcting Lylah's training that magic besides mana as fuel, magic can be done if one has a strong imagination.
Imagination means the process of magic formation, its form, and how it works.
Which means that if someone wants to make fire magic then he is required to know how fire can be created, its shape, nature and others. Furthermore, the form of magic itself; what form the magician wants. Furthermore, how it works, what do you want with the magic that is created? Destroy? Repair? Heal? All of these have many conditions that must be met.
That's why spell circles and magic circles were created, spells are used to help a magician strengthen their imagination. While the magic circle is a tool used to strengthen the magic that will be created.
Yes, actually it used to be called a symbol or symbol of magic because in fact the magic circle used to look more like an image such as; stars, fire, water and others. but because there is improvement and long research the witches produce a circle shape with the writing and images of magic used then the younger generation witches call it a magic circle and no one protests with it.
The magic circle can only be done with the help of objects such as written or ikir on an object but if you want to do what the Master Sage and Lylah did then you have to memorize every mile of the magic circle accurately, but even though it is difficult the magic that comes out of it is no joke.
Ok, back to Rocky.
He and Lylah were now glued to the white magic circle the size of a soccer ball that kept floating around his hand, Lylah tried to touch it but unfortunately her hand went through the magic circle.
"Strange... normally if there is a disturbance between the creator and the magic circle created it will disappear immediately... but why did it move to your hand Rocky?" she asked with a face full of questions.
"How should I know?" he replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Hish... I don't understand what you're saying! Just shut up!" he retorted irritably, but was immediately retaliated with a jab to the forehead.
But this time despite the pain she was more interested in the magic circle in Rocky's hand, "Rocky do something!... I wonder if your other hand will affect this magic circle?"
Rocky didn't understand what Lylah was saying, but he also didn't refuse because he was actually curious too.
Now extending his other hand, Rocky brought his fingers closer to the magic circle as gently as he could. And strangeness happened again, the circle instead of penetrating Rocky's stone finger the circle was hit and stopped.
Rocky held the magic circle as if he was holding a card and looked at it, curiosity continued to flood him and pushed him to continue doing something to satisfy his curiosity.
Rocky now slowly releases the magic circle and intends to make it float in the air, and miraculously even though the magic circle is no longer held it still floats calmly.
Now a magic circle with a line of writing and in the center there is a picture of a star in it floating in front of the two, Rocky points his finger and touches the star drawn in the magic circle.
Rocky lowered his finger and magically the star was drawn in the center, suddenly Lylah's eyes lit up. "waah... it's great that the image rotates as if the two are not of one accord...Rocky you're great!"
Lylah unconsciously shook Rocky's hand vigorously until her hand nudged the magic circle in front of her.
"DING!" a buzz appeared as soon as Rocky's hand touched the magic circle which immediately made the circle separate into 2 parts and floated away and disappeared when it hit the wall.
"woah... can it be like that huh? ...." said Lylah while groping for the former magic circle that disappeared, after being satisfied that she didn't get anything she turned around and held Rocky's hand. "Rocky! Let's do some experiments! Now!"
Because Lylah's face had a very fiery expression, Rocky unconsciously nodded obediently, and after getting this answer Lylah immediately sat on Rocky's lap and played with her magic wand.
Lylah swung her wand and brought up a magic circle similar to the one before, a white magic circle with strange letters twisted inside and a star in the center.
Rocky extended his hand again and now he did it as if he was a technology expert operating a 3D monitor.
"Okay! Do whatever Rocky... I want to see the limits, just relax if I miss I'll make another one... and this magic circle is safe it won't make a mess" Lylah said confidently.
Rocky certainly believed, but when he nudged 1 strange letter on the magic circle, "BOOM..ssshh..."
The magic circle exploded releasing thick gray smoke, when the smoke cleared there was a little boy with a smiling face, "uhuk! ... well don't fiddle with the runes written there ... uhuk!"
On the other hand Rocky immediately agreed with the sound of the impact and friction of the stone because his helmet was blown away somewhere, "tak... tak"
Runes can also be called the language of magic and the alphabet of magic, yes it can be said that each rune is the embodiment of magic itself and a series of runes can be interpreted as a prayer according to some magic of course.
And that's why if there is a mistake in writing then the resulting result like what Rocky and Lylah experienced can happen if you not careful.
