Shadow was looking at his master with interest as he was droning on about the world and its magic. He realized that his masters body was pretty buff. He was about 6'1 perfect posture and a very menacing face. His lips were thin while his eyebrows almost stayed in frown. His eyes seemed sunken in from lack of sleep. " master... not meaning to interrupt but are you a fighter."
"Actually yes but I'm actually also a mage. To be exact I'm a senior mage with an amateur pro fighter as my minor. I know you're amazed and I'm only 60. After breaking through to senior level knowing I'll be able to live longer I...."
"Wait master you're 60 but you only maybe look 20."
"Yes I forgot once you past the pro level your life exceeds that of a normal human. Once you hit Demi it's amplified even more. Well that is if you don't die." Laughing in almost a villainous tone. "Enough with this though it's time to see your capabilities. You've already even tested to see your capability to take in energy.
"Yes master, a couple days ago they told me it was lower than most for both magic and martial arts so leveling will be harder for me."
Tophson pulled out at clear orb. " listen you'll have to concentrate while you touch the orb. The colors will tell us what magic you can use. Here is a paper so you can know which is which."

"Light, dark, space, and spirit magic is considered special because most can't ever hope to use them. Some may be able to grow into spirit magic which is considered the strongest but very very few are capable. The rest are considered war Magics. Space magic which is the common out of the special magics but definitely still very rare. Light and dark are thought to be even but dark has sub class magic. Dark is considered the most rare and countries even fight over people who can use it. Necromancy and demon taming are two subclasses known. If you can use all four base Magics and one of any of the special four you would be considered a sage. Being able to use even two base magics are rare in itself. Anyway it should take about a couple of minutes of thoroughly sending energy into the orb that you'll find out. Since I haven't eaten I'll be leaving you for a bit, but just because you find out what magic you have doesn't mean stand around. Start practicing meditation since you'll spend most your life on it.
After he left shadow got straight to working on the orb. "Today has already been interesting, I haven't even done physical training and my body hurts. I have to train harder than everyone else since I can't absorb energy as well. The only thing that's good is I get to learn this info before most since they are scared I'll embarrass the royal family if I can't even beat peasants. I know my mother only wants me close because of my fathers talent with magic." He started thinking about when he was 8 and had found his Dad's journal to him. It was hidden in the floor board of his room. He had first just flipped all the pages scanning through them since he didn't know if he would always be able to have it. The book was pretty thick telling him of his heritage and even family in Demnico even sometimes correcting it in later journals because they died or betrayed their country. He had left it because he knew what would happen when he gave his life. Shadow was still reading it but as he was sitting there thinking about it one paragraph he kept remembering from the first page kept popping in his head.

"Remember son never show them all your cards and if you happen to inherit my dark magic or as I assume a stronger version of it. NEVER LET THEM KNOW OR YOUR LIFE WILL BE NO MORE!!!! If you can revenge me if you can't I will always have love for you. Remember to live how you want and become strong so you never have to bend your knee live as man son.

It has already been a solid 10 minutes yet nothing was happening. His potential was actually really weak truly. He didn't need to hide it because it was true but after that day when he had read that journal he had begun to train. He was actually already at a solid point to reach novice as a mage and he had worked out physically. He wanted to be able to use both martial arts and magic. Just like his father. Most of what he read in his head from his father's journal was just what type of predicament he was in.

Son listen if it wasn't for the betterment of my kingdom I would've never left the battlefield by surrendering. We were losing and even with my vast power I couldn't beat back 3 Demi's by myself. I was already weakened from the last battle when I killed two Demi levels. Which was my mistake, it was probably why they went even stronger for the kingdom. It was known that she wanted my dark magic abilities. So, I made a soul contract that she wouldn't go to war for Demnico as long as I served her every word. Even before I made this contract the king Merecius pleaded me to just keep fighting. He didn't want to give me up not because I was the back bone of his army but because I was married to his daughter. I was ...

Before he could keep reading shadow had felt something happening with the orb. He was sitting with legs crossed and hands over the middle of the orb. That's when the orb started to change colors. It went in this order red, blue, light blue, brown, dark spots and finally a very dark black. At first it kept its same dark black color in the orb before it started to crack leaking out a dark black mist. He stood up with quickness dropping the orb only cracking it slightly more. The tendrils of darkness that reached out had left the grass dead but soon enough returned to a clear orb.
"Well that was interesting " shadow said this as he furrowed his eyebrows.
